That would be great, but the message you quote if from June, nothing since then.

I hope the admin sees your post, maybe you should post the same in a topic related to that application of the project ?

Gee, this is the saddest news of the year so far, I'll never get my big blue star :(

But happy to read that what we did was useful somehow though ;)

HRFMguy should be able to setup his own account on signature.statseb.fr too, with his own badges.

Hello

I had never seen that thread in detail : does it mean that if you don't post into this forum, then the "years of service" badge is not updated on your account ?

Because I was wondering why I'm stuck with my 10 years badge (on the boinc statistical websites like Statseb, etc) when I have more than 14 years of service now.

I'll see if this simple message does the trick ? :)

Posted 22 Jul 2021 by Profile [AF>Le_Pommier] Jerome_C2005
Post:
I'm afraid the poll is a bit light : as said above we need more details to be able to compare,

- would 1 GPU task do the same *amount of work* than 1 CPU thread task ? (since you already say the process time will be equivalent)
- would 1 GPU task also need a % of a CPU thread ? (as it is often the case with GPU tasks, especially with OpenCL, I can only run AMD OpenCL tasks on my iMac) and then do you know what % ? and again, also to do the same amount of of work than the regular 1 thread CPU task ? (if yes it would then be counter productive and not equivalent !)

Please read in the other topic for announcement of n-body 1.52 what I wrote (one month ago and now again), nobody ever answered me but they are not working on my Mac : running on 1 core out of 8, blocking the other boinc apps to run (pretending it is "mt"), and in 1.52 they would not even complete normally (AND they started running again now when my setup does not allow nbody)...

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=3819&postid=64164


EDIT : there is a change now, after 15mn of running they actually start to run on all 8 cores and really using 100% of my CPU (instead of 1/8th).


EDIT2 : they don't completely run 100%, it's more like 90% of available CPU, letting a 10% idle.


EDIT3 : OK so the task did finish on estimated time and was sent successfully back to the servers, so things look better with this 1.54, even though not perfect (running 15mn with 1/8 of CPU and not running a full 100% for the remaining time).

Guess what, even though it is still marked as not selected in my account :



I got AGAIN those n-body simulation (version is now 1.54) PRETENDING to be "mt" that are only using ONE CORE instead of 8 and blocking all other apps...

One has completed 10mn with 25%, it says 38mn left to complete, I'll wait this to see if it's or if they also have the bad behavior...


EDIT : things went better now, read the topic about v1.54.
Even though my account setup is not to run them...

Hi

Nbody is really not working well on my iMac : it behaves like mt app (ie stops all other apps running on my i7 8 cores) BUT it only takes 1/8th of the CPU power.




(99% means "of one core", not all 8 cores, look at the CPU charge at the bottom)

Besides sometimes it doesn't stop to run after 100 % completion, and just continues forever using 0% CPU, blocking boinc, I have to cancel it ! (if I can see it, I don't spend all day in front of my computer...)

Actually the current one is not 100% yet but already stopped using CPU for a while (and lasted already much more than the 9 min of the previous one, that ran well)





Or it will crash by itself (there were others).

I'm removing nBody from my preferences for the moment, I hope this will be solved soon.

Thanks for your help.

Well I just came home and saw your answer, and I just found out that the WU finished only a few minutes ago ! What a coincidence, or was it fear ? (from the WU, that I would cancel it) :D

Anyway here is the beast : 2 days 18 hours of calculation for a total of 18 days 11 hours of computing time on my i7 !!!

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=859028388

I definitively hope that someone else is going to calculate it... and that I get "some kind of credit" for this :)

Guess what, now I have another mt WU working now (since 6mn) but it claims only 1h30 min left as an estimate... what can be SO different between these two ?

Hi

I juste realized I have a MilkyWay@Home N-Body Simulation 1.44 (mt) running on my iMac (i7 late 2009) since more than a day

Nom ps_nbody_08_05_orphan_sim_3_1413455402_39907_0
Application MilkyWay@Home N-Body Simulation 1.44 (mt)
Nom unité ps_nbody_08_05_orphan_sim_3_1413455402_39907
Etat Calcul en cours
Reçue 24/10/2014 23:00:02
Date limite d'envoi 05/11/2014 22:00:02
Vitesse estimée 13,03 GFLOPs/sec
Taille de la tâche estimée 159 243 GFLOPs
Ressources 8 CPUs
Temps CPU au dernier point de reprise 09d,07:26:27
Temps CPU 09d,07:30:09
Temps de calcul 01d,09:48:49

Pourcentage effectué 54,189%
Taille mémoire virtuelle 2 472,48 MB
Réglage du volume de travail 30,50 MB
Répertoire slots/9
Processus ID 86875


The % is moving slowly, but it's moving. The WU is eating avg 600/650 % CPU on the mac (out of 800% max, Mac OS X measures 100% per core), so it's working.

So the calculation estimate is more than another day, it will be over 2 days of calculation if it terminates based on this estimate.

Is this OK ? should I let it run ?

My question is not about credit, my question is how on earth can 816 secs of calculation produce the same scientific result than 45 hours done to calculate the same task on my Mac ?? is the application doing some random loops or something ? being a developer in my early IT days this seems quite astounding...

Regarding credit, as I said, I actually don't care.
