3) Message boards : Number crunching : Multi-threaded nBody (Message 47084) Posted 6 Apr 2011 by sparkler99 Post: another problem if you only have 2 cpu's crunching and one of your cpu's is working on a wu running at high priority because boinc's client is broken and thinks a wu with a deadline a year away needs to be finished as soon as possible and then wants to crunch a mt 2.00 cpu wu it can make boinc's client just use 1 cpu for the high priority job and the other wu's left on a ready/waiting state and the second cpu left idle
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Multi-threaded nBody (Message 46944) Posted 2 Apr 2011 by sparkler99 Post: resource share works perfectly for apps that use 1 cpu but for multithreaded it doesn't work also it ignores the %of the cpu's settings
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Multi-threaded nBody (Message 46942) Posted 2 Apr 2011 by sparkler99 Post: i just finished a 1.95cpu one in 18.08mins on a phenom II x6 3ghz anyways i don't like these multithreaded apps my cores are already being used to run other wu's and wouldn't mind being able to turn it off also i wouldn't like to see other projects use multithreading boinc already allows multitasking either running multiple milkyway wu's or different wu's from other projects and i personally think these mt wu's are detrimental to other projects i only have 2 cpu's for crunching and the third for handing none boinc stuff so it doesn't interfere with wu's and trying to balance the cpu resources the best i can the only reason i tolerate it now is because its only 18mins if it took hours i would be pressing abort and no longer accepting wu's if milkyway wants to use mt units either give us an option to turn them on/off or send them to clients that have 8-12+ cores
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Questionable Cruncher Discussion Thread (Message 46939) Posted 2 Apr 2011 by sparkler99 Post: Lots of fuss and muss. Many with fast GPUs will drop out. A machine with 4 5870 cards can do in the neighborhood of 4500 WUs/day. What really needs to be done is to untie the WU quota from the number of CPU cores completely. CPU cores have nothing to do with output in this project. not everyone has access to gpu's i use virtual machines to crunch so only have cpu's to use and even if i used my host with access to a HD5850 due to faulty amd drivers or card i don't know i would probably end up reporting failures all the time due to driver not responding error's so i think the WUs/day should depend on reliability as im sure if its changed people will report having 10000gpu's instead of 10000cpu's
