1) Message boards : Number crunching : Hello, sorry about this WU (Message 14100) Posted 6 Mar 2009 by cwhyl Post: I've got a few ps_s79_... and they seem to have crunched OK
2) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : Recompiled Linux 32/64 apps (Message 11029) Posted 16 Feb 2009 by cwhyl Post: Yeah, 32bit SSSE3 Linux dropped from 22 to 9 minutes. 64bit SSSE3 runs them in 8.5 minutes compared to 18 with the stock app. Both on Intel Q6600. Very nice :)
3) Message boards : Number crunching : v0.18/v0.19 issues here (Message 11014) Posted 16 Feb 2009 by cwhyl Post: Ah, OK
4) Message boards : Number crunching : v0.18/v0.19 issues here (Message 11012) Posted 16 Feb 2009 by cwhyl Post: Yeah, the Linux 64-bit could also have SSE2 optimizations.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : v0.18/v0.19 issues here (Message 11005) Posted 16 Feb 2009 by cwhyl Post: Funny thing that my AMD X2 @2600 MHz now is faster than a Q6600 @3300 MHZ, 20 minutes compared to 22 minutes with Linux 32-bit, how come? 64-bit Linux is crunching fine here and does them in 18 minutes on a Q6600 @3200 MHz.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : v0.18/v0.19 issues here (Message 10983) Posted 16 Feb 2009 by cwhyl Post: Hm, windows 0.19 don't want to download for some reason..
7) Message boards : Number crunching : v0.18/v0.19 issues here (Message 10980) Posted 16 Feb 2009 by cwhyl Post: Yep, runs them in 00:20 on an AMD X2 32-bit compared to 00:31 with Linux opt app 0.16 for AMD (sorry i trashed 24 units when trying 0.18c beta, downloading error)
8) Message boards : Number crunching : particle swarm searches -- ps_X (Message 10777) Posted 15 Feb 2009 by cwhyl Post: Seems fine here with speedimic's opt Linux app but they are purged so quickly so it's hard to see the result. Make them 10 times longer and ease the stress on the server? ;)
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Unable to attach my shared memory (Message 10060) Posted 8 Feb 2009 by cwhyl Post: Well said. I get some work now and then but not much.
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Is anyone glad with the project? (Message 9367) Posted 29 Jan 2009 by cwhyl Post: I like how this project is handled and this is the only boinCidoinc project I run nowadays.
11) Message boards : Number crunching : app v12 (Message 8695) Posted 20 Jan 2009 by cwhyl Post: Me likes testing new versions :-)
12) Message boards : Number crunching : app v12 (Message 8688) Posted 19 Jan 2009 by cwhyl Post: 32-bit Linux a tiny bit slower than before 64-bit Linux 20% or 10 minutes slower than v0.07 (?) but much better than 0.10
13) Message boards : Number crunching : App v0.10 (Message 8647) Posted 19 Jan 2009 by cwhyl Post: 32-bit Linux is one or two minutes faster than before. 64-bit Linux takes double time.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : App v0.10 (Message 8609) Posted 18 Jan 2009 by cwhyl Post: 64-bit Linux validates ok but takes double time to complete compared with 32-bit
15) Message boards : Number crunching : post milkyway_i686-pc-linux-gnu problems here (Message 8087) Posted 31 Dec 2008 by cwhyl Post: My Linux boxen have always run at full speed for many years and there is no throttling at all. Your "boxen" have up-to-date processors and kernel, so you should be able to type "powersave -r" from the command-line when the system is idle to check the effective CPU frequency. Most current standard Linux set ups come with default power management that's more sophisticated than old throttling. HTH If an idle box can save power that's nice Tested Fedora and Ubuntu renicing the app to 0 and there is no difference in runtimes
16) Message boards : Number crunching : post milkyway_i686-pc-linux-gnu problems here (Message 7977) Posted 24 Dec 2008 by cwhyl Post: No I don't believe in that What do you mean? It's either true or it isn't - I don't know which and I don't feel like checking, but there is no magic here. My Linux boxen have always run at full speed for many years and there is no throttling at all.
17) Message boards : Number crunching : post milkyway_i686-pc-linux-gnu problems here (Message 7897) Posted 21 Dec 2008 by cwhyl Post: True, different compilers, different results. But most importantly, Linux keeps the CPU at the lowest frequency when just running low-priority BOINC applications, whereas Windows throws the CPU at the highest frequency for them too. See more details here. HTH No I don't believe in that
18) Message boards : Number crunching : post milkyway_i686-pc-linux-gnu problems here (Message 7645) Posted 12 Dec 2008 by cwhyl Post: Some WUs run extremely long time, I have aborted this one after over 18 hours: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=57580672 Yup, same here, I have three nm_stripe_79_fr1 running for over four hours and only 45% done. Well I don't mind if they are long, the longer the better..
19) Message boards : Number crunching : Bad set of WUs ! (Message 7617) Posted 11 Dec 2008 by cwhyl Post: Looked at my results and had 11 successful nm_stripe79_er1, 17 nm_stripe79_er2 and 2 nm_stripe82_er1. No errors seen. (Linux)
