1) Message boards : Number crunching : Longer Tasks????? (Message 34182) Posted 4 Dec 2009 by CodeRedDewd Post: I just looked suspended GPUGRID and attempted to get work for my GPUs. It said my card lacks the needed features... What are they? Maybe I just need to install some software drivers?
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Longer Tasks????? (Message 34181) Posted 4 Dec 2009 by CodeRedDewd Post: Thanks... I think my GPUs are worthy? 9800GX2? But I'm using them for GPUGRID. They reack up a lot of points per day there. Somewhere between 13-18k points. Depends on if it reports 3 or 4 WU that day. They take about 15+ hours to complete, running 82/83decC. I get about 5500-6200 points per day... I if I used them for MilkWay, what kind of points can I expect? Or do I just have to try it? lol That is if the 9800 GX2 can work with MilkWay?
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Longer Tasks????? (Message 34173) Posted 4 Dec 2009 by CodeRedDewd Post: Are these new tasks longer? They are now taking 6 hours to crunch... It seems this happened at the exact time I decided to change my memory timings, so I switched them back becauase I thought I slowed my computer down. I'm guessing I can change my memory timings back? I went from 5-7-7-20-32 to 5-5-5-15-22 That should help me crunch more, right?
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Figuring Points, Seconds, Correction Factor... Trying to understand! (Message 34101) Posted 2 Dec 2009 by CodeRedDewd Post: That makes sense. I'm running GPUGRID at the same time and that steals some CPU time, which would make the MilkWay wall time a bit longer I suppose. Reversing the logic, if MilkWay used some GPU time and included it with CPU time, the wall time would be shorter? I suppose as long as I'm getting bonuses... I should try to figure out how to get more bonuses! Thanks for the reply!
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Figuring Points, Seconds, Correction Factor... Trying to understand! (Message 34097) Posted 2 Dec 2009 by CodeRedDewd Post: Elapsed time in BOINC: 6:12:45 ---> 22,365sec Task Page says: 20,045sec Why the difference? Claimed: 124.74 Granted: 213.76 Corrrection Factor: 1.7761 124.14 * 1.7761 = 220.49 Does the correction factor adjust the points? I thought points were points, regardless if it took 1 hour or 24 hours to do one task. I was just wondering, because 213 is really close to 220. I guess my main question is why the two different times that are 2320 seconds apart? That's 00:38:40 difference. I'm confused...

If everyone is doing this, it's no wonder there are problems. I have 24 jobs queued up which is enough for a day, and usually what it stays at. That has to be over-taxing the server... What can I do?
