23) Message boards : Number crunching : Need some input... (Message 49482) Posted 22 Jun 2011 by RAMen Post: It depends on the apps at the project, and the capabilities of the cpu. Some projects have specially compiled 64 bit apps they seem to perform better than XP32 (for me). I run Ubuntu64(linux) and XP32, I prefer Ubuntu for crunching. But it took a while to get my head around it. Cant comment on comparison @ Milkyway because I dont do CPU WU here.

25) Message boards : News : ATI application (v0.57) should be available now (Message 47404) Posted 10 Apr 2011 by RAMen Post: Computer now processing WU correctly i7 920 boinc 6.10.58 GPU Radeon 4850 HOWEVER I was originally running Anonymous Platform (ATI_GPU) version 2.0 by Gypsel installed Dec 2009 These always ran seemlessly On reading the post about recent events I was expecting failures and to have to do some readjusting. To my surprise overnight ( Australia) the machine downloaded WU and appeared to be working seemlessly using the old 2.0 app. WU were reported as being sucessful on both boincview and boinc manager. I was puzzled and checked the website and discovered all the successful completions were reported as invalid. I reset the project... no change I detatched the project and re-attached and the computer reported new settings . However didnt send GPU work as ATI drivers were not useable **I downloaded the latest Catalyst drivers and installed. After a restart I now have the 0.57 app downloaded and reporting success Timing for the old app/new app ~ 210s (old anonymous 2.0) 300s (new 0.57)

31) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : Recompiled Linux 32/64 apps (Message 13746) Posted 3 Mar 2009 by RAMen Post: Is there any plan for a linux app for ATI/GPU in the pipeline quad or i7
32) Message boards : Number crunching : Hopefully... (Message 4103) Posted 14 Jul 2008 by RAMen Post: I am happy with the times but I have a fast comp currently No.5 The credit is good . The pressure on the server is reduced everyone gets a steady flow of work. The services that people like to take advantage of like credit reporting can be re-enabled and the purge time can be set at perhaps an hour or two now.. all in all a lot better regime. Please however consider the slower machines I know what that was like and still have a few connected. Regards, Ross, Perth W. Australia
33) Message boards : Number crunching : Hopefully... (Message 4077) Posted 14 Jul 2008 by RAMen Post: 6 units of GS_3720282 completed on Q9300 linux64 all between 148 and 150 min same units P4_3.0 & UBUNTU32 ... boinc view estimates at 10.5 hours/ unit
34) Message boards : Number crunching : Hopefully... (Message 4065) Posted 14 Jul 2008 by RAMen Post: looks like your new units run very long in comparison.. old units 151 sec for 3710182's new unit 3720282 1% completed after 178 sec 178s x 100 17800 nearly 5 hours even allowing for a fast last 50 % thats 2.5 hours that is an agressive change 2.5 hours for 4.06 credit be prepared for a loud whinge from all and sundry Good Luck Ross, Perth Australia Q9300 lUBUNTU linux commandline and headless
35) Message boards : Number crunching : Has the nature of the work units changed (Message 3933) Posted 25 Jun 2008 by RAMen Post: I wonder Travis has some thing changed about the nature of work units. the37370382 units have sped up makedly on the linux machines and slowed markedly on the Xp machines here?
36) Message boards : Number crunching : bad wus in the database (Message 3865) Posted 19 Jun 2008 by RAMen Post: It's 19.08 Western Australian Time here (UTC +8) 132 units completed without missing a beat. Maintaining the 20 unit allocation. including a linux headless commandline installation of UBUNTU 8.04. Might have overcome the server problems! Well done Travis !!
37) Message boards : Number crunching : bad wus in the database (Message 3860) Posted 19 Jun 2008 by RAMen Post: -- which means you'll be getting credit on a timely fashion and not losing out on any. Looks like all pending is cleared but without credits being awarded. :( I cleared out all the pending because the vast majority of these were gs_602 -- which would only error out anyways, so no one was going to be getting credit for them. I got the DB back to a clean slate, and now that it's constantly running cleanup daemons i think we should have smooth sailing from here on out. All 3 computers XP and linux have downloaded gs_607 and gs_606 in batches of twenty and are processing
38) Message boards : Number crunching : No new WU (Message 3827) Posted 18 Jun 2008 by RAMen Post: I got "one". :) Me too, several actually but they dried up pretty quickly. :-( Now they look like they may be back again. I have processed about 50 since 6.30 this evening W Aust time (according to boincview) Only been distributed in twos and threes. Only 7 left on three computers. Seems to have dried up again . Hmmm !!!
