Remember, we measure in Cobblestones as opposed to Whetstones, Dhrystones, or Flintstones ...

And Soapstones, surely... :)


How about limestone?

For all the pain and effort - kidneystones. ;)


Gullstones?!



What about grindstones?

...
It's also a Q6600 with 2GB RAM with a fresh BOINC install, running Seti stock and MW stock at 50/50 rate.

Host at Milkyway
same Host at Seti

On the Seti side it's set to crunch Multibeam only.
...


I just ended my little experiment. Here are the numbers:

MW: 4827
Seti: 4619 (including pending up to now)

I expected MW to be a bit higher, but it's still not below Seti. :)

Now I put the opti apps back in place to get more...
mic.

Oi! watch it you lot. I was around in Richmond upon Thames in the early 1960's when they first started out..... And I'm still firing on all 6 cylinders.... :-))

Well done for doing that mic.

It makes me wonder where it leaves all those claiming that no project awards higher than SETI. And well done Travis for a good credit pitch.

If we could only get gemstones instead of cobblestones for our work.

<snip>

Unit 8:

300 MHz K6 running NT4 Server SP6a, 192 MB RAM

<snip>



Just an update for Unit 8. Turns out it has been running the stock SAH app since last September.

I switched it over to check the NT4 compatibility workaround, and then must have decided to keep it stock.

Here's some info for you: Not all CPU/OS combinations give the same results.




The SETI version is the optimized AK version; the MW is also supposed to be optimized. This comparison is why I put my Intel Macs back on SETI full time - it's a waste of my time and electric bill to run MW at these credit levels.

The OS X application doesn't seem to be hugely optimized. I'm going to take a crack at it in the coming days.

I'm glad that it's not just a case of which is better, but running tests like this to see if improvements can be made for MilkyWay.

From the way I read it Milkway is giving nearly 1.3 times the amount of credit per host running both projects than SETI. I wonder how the GPU crunching is affecting this statistic?

Looking at this chart I read MW giving about 1.625 times what seti is giving.
1.3 divided through 0.8.

1.3 divided through 0.8.

I think the chart reads that Mw is 1.3x seti or seti is .8x of mw. If one is base (1) than the other is multiplied (X).

*edit* took chart image off.

Ok, thanks. Now I understand what had been my error.
Yeah, the 1.3 and the 0.8 are corresponding.
