As I saw that some compuer are using optimized V0.12 app without any problem.

I reinstall the Speedimic SSE4.1 and crunch some wus and they get granted ....

I don t know what happen ??!!

Just come in after I read about the news, that you finally start granting no credits for bogus results, to test the new stock apps, first one was 0.10, than 0.12, both on my C2Q9450 @3.2GHz, ubuntu64, BOINC 6.4.5.
I did 3 0.10 that lasted 4200 seconds, the 0.12 lasted 2600 - 2700 seconds, seems like a good improvement.
I have no idea how fast they would have been with 0.7.

If you're talking about the Linux apps: yes, he recompiled them with the appropriate flags!

Yep , but you see here , I still have some bad wus ... without changing anything....


I think that the new assimilator/validator has some problem ... for validating wus...

Using 4 samples, I am seeing a consistent 5% improvement in performance on my 2,66Mhz, 2 dual core MacPro. That equate to about a minute plus for me.

I installed speedimics new 64bit SSSE3 opti app on one of my quad cores and it has also suffered from invalid WUs.
I've just replaced the SSSE3 app with the SSE3 version, i'll see how that goes.

2 other quads have returned all valid SSSE3 WUs so far.

Other hint for compiling : I doubt that my old Opteron (server version of the socket 939 Athlon 64 x2) could beat my Quad 6600 (both @ stock clock). I know, architecture are not the same, but the gap is not normal. The Linux 64 version lacks optimizations.

The problem is that Intel has ignored GCC and has not contributed to its development until recently. In particular, up to GCC 4.1, Intel had not contributed a single line of code to it. Intel finally started contributing for GCC 4.2, but only enough to make catch up with AMD processors.

In other words, up to GCC 4.1, the x86-64 compiler is pretty much tuned for AMD processors. From 4.2 and on, the outcome is more balanced, with barely any difference when run on either Intel or on AMD processors. Of course, your mileage may vary from application to application.

Travis, do you know why, this host :

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?hostid=41246 ( Linux 64 )

has granted credit = 0 ???

I am using the offcial app V0.12 !

I try to detach and reattach but same problem. I try with Speedimic v0.12 optimized application but still no point ?

I put this machine in NMW until you can find what happens !

edit :

All those Wus are 0 Credit granted !

Those ones are using official V0.12 app :

[url]http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=63033713


Those one are using Speedimic SSE4.1_X86_64 optimized app :

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=63042064

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=63042087

only that one receive credit !

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=63042065

Before asking, this machine is not O/C....


It looks like you might have some kind of problem with that machine if you're consistently getting bad results from BOTH speedimic's and the stock application. The new validator will mark WUs invalid if they return a likelihood that's not possible to be calculated by the application.

i TOO JUST HAD 2 WU's out of the latest batch of 32 come back as invalid - 0 credit granted. Those were only the first 2 I have come across. I will keep an eye on things and see if it was just a hiccup or something else.

along with the fact that you don't leave much history in the database (I know, other problems, but it makes it hard to go back and calculate a real time average) ...

Indeed. I wish that Travis would increase the time that a WU lingers on at least while all these tests are being made.

TIA

Are you using the stock app?

I get today only stock app 0.10 for windows 32bit.
They validate, but the application page tells me I should get 0.13.
Any explanation why this happens?

Dave updated the windows app to 0.13 today, so new WUs should be using that.

Based on my hosts:

Opteron 170 (XP 32) RAC estimation: 2085 (v0.7) / 2070 (v12) => 1% drop
Core2Duo 4300 (Ubuntu 64) RAC estimation: 1994 (v0.7) / 1475 (v12) => 26% drop
Core2Duo 6600 (Ubuntu 64) RAC estimation: 2385 (v0.7) / 1787 (v12) => 25% drop
Core2Quad 6600 (Ubuntu 64) RAC estimation: 4742 (v0.7) / 3564 (v12) => 25% drop

Houston, I think we have a problem with the Linux64 version...

In a world without fences and walls, who needs Gates and Windows?


BTW: This is still "alpha". This is not unusual for that stage of development. From what I can tell, they are doing things fairly properly, with internal unit testing first, then a release. I know you (Kevin) probably know this, but for those who are having a hard time dealing with the changes, perhaps waiting until the project becomes beta might be an option...
