1) Message boards : Number crunching : Milkyway Computation Error (ps_nbody) (Message 58031) Posted 27 Apr 2013 by binyo66 Post: Hi, I have several PC running freebsd 9.0 amd64. All of them have Computation Error doing ps_nbody and de_nbody, and OK only when doing ps_p. Is there a way to fix that? or is there a way to choose just to download ps_p only? thx
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Why is Milky Way Taking all 4 CPU cores for one work unit? (Message 54475) Posted 20 May 2012 by binyo66 Post: OK, thx, let me try if it always run using more than 1 core now.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Why is Milky Way Taking all 4 CPU cores for one work unit? (Message 54466) Posted 20 May 2012 by binyo66 Post: bump :) Here is my computer, I have intel xeon 2 CPU with each 8 cores. My system actually FreeBSD/AMD64 8.2, however since running boinc under wine is faster, I run it under wine (boinc 7.025, the new one 7.028 from Einstein project won't pass the internet connection somehow :( ). If 1 task MW takes 1 core, it usually finishs in 2-3 hrs. However, if it runs 6-12 cores it finished less than 2minutes!! The same thing happen with my old mac X 10.6.8. If MW runs with 2 cores, it finishes in less than 3 minutes. But if 1 core takes 2-3 hours. So, the question is how to force each task to run 6 cores (even only 1 unit active at one time), is it possible ?
4) Message boards : Number crunching : freebsd wine and milkyway (Message 54321) Posted 4 May 2012 by binyo66 Post: Some of my computers run freebsd/amd64, and I found out that the computers which running XP is faster to get milkyway credit than freebsd/amd64. The funniest thing is, running boinc under wine in freebsd is much faster than running in freebsd itself. The different is so big (like in milkyway under wine to complete the task usually take 2-3 hrs, but under freebsd it take 17-20hrs:( in the same computers even if I tried to speed them up using nice). Anybody knows why running milkyway under freebsd wine is much faster than under freebsd itself in freebsd/amd64? Edit: You can see what I mean is by checking computer ID 368456 which is boinc under freebsd/amd64 wine, and compuer ID 436052 is boinc without wine (both are the same computer)
