New App

[AMD-USR_JL]

Askof released his optimized E@H app to the public. It produces "aboslutely" valid WUs. It was reported that it was 2.3x faster on an AMD Athlon 2000+ XP. 4 hrs to 1 hr 45mins.

I haven't tried it myself yet, but it looks like you just extract it to ur E@H folder in Boinc. you might want to make a backup of your E@h executable just incase.

Here is the link

May try it later. Thanks AMD-USR_JL :)

That's just my machine! :)
Gotta get me a copy of that little app! :twisted:

I'm using it and my times dropped from 1:15 to 32 minutes average, and some of the results have validated already.I think it's OK to use :D

[gamer007]

Amazing! I don't know whether E@H turned down their WU time way smaller beforehand (I usually take 8 hours to complete one).

Now it took less than a hour! About 45min to be "exact". Thanks again!. :D

[mitchellds]

yes this is amazing, does anyone have more details on this new client? What kinda of optimization was performed? Who was the author? Are the results really valid to the E@home group?

[Brucifer]

Anyone aware of optimized boinc clients for linux?

[drezha]

Just thought I'd download some Einstein work to try it out on...

Estimated time per WU before 3hr 20min
Will see what it says tomorrow on the Einstein site :)

Mind my rig has dropped to 0.77 CPU effciency..all those games and surfing etc :oops:

Guys

Whish optimized apps is faster or better: Einsteins own Albert S40.12 as supports SSE2 or Albert A36. I got really confused. Which should I shoose?

Lagu :?

[drezha]

Both :cool:

SSE2 or SSE client is BOINC. Just BOINC. Only affects the benchamrls you get. (Should give better ones)

The app is what is used to crunch the project. ;) Ie Einstein uses albert 4.37, CPDN uses hadcm3lb 5.08.

By downloading this Albert A36 version, you have to stop BOINC. (easiest to stop completely) Then goto the einstein folder...
Should be some thing like...


C:\Program Files\BOINC\projects\einstein.phys.uwm.edu

The with the downloaded and unzipped Albert 4.37, copy and paste that into the folder overwriting the current einstein client. (might want a back up first?)

That way you have the optimised BOINC crunch3r client and the optimised einstein application. :D And that goives very very impressive results.

Hi

I have downloaded Einstein@Home to my AMD Athlon 64 32000+ (Over clocked to 2365/215 MHz) and Athlon 1001 MHz.

I downloaded a WU [zl_1102_0_615_54R2a_1] as should take 10 hours on my Athlon 1001. I’m used this computer use 10 hours not more or lesser. To my surprise this work took only 2.35 hour. Client used: Albert D40 as support 3Dnow.

I downloaded another work 10 hour work to Athlon 1001 [zl_1102_0_612_54R2a_2] to be sure my eyes not need new glasses and yes, I noticed after 1.45 CPU-hour. 77 % was done. After 2.03 CPU-hours 87 % crunched. Complete done after 2.21 CPU-hours.

Strange, first crunching normal then jumping forward rapidly. All 5 WU´s was successfully done claiming 90.80 points as is pending.

Another 3 hour WU [rl_1452_0_1530_54R2a_2] as I run on my AMD 64 was done after 48.31 CPU-times. I use Albert S40.12. Now I have got another WU [rl_1452_0_1428_54R2a_2] as will take 2.35 hours. It was done after 49.30 CPU-times.

I noticed it takes little longer because I use this computer for Internet and WORD.

When I got a WU as should take 10 hours I was thinking: Typically! The slower of the 2 computers gets the longest WU and the fastest the shortest. This phenomenon I often noticed in QMC too. It should be otherwise I think.

I’ve not test run Einstein on my Intel because I got a lot of WU´s from Leiden as I will done first. I have never run Einstein before.

Lagu :D

There's more than one optimisted application?

Where?
I may be running the wrong one! :shock: ;)
