Seem to be spamming this thread a bit...

Just ordered myself one of these.
I like playing with low power computers (used to mess with the VIA chips) but these are cheaper and more fun to play...

Overclocked the Pi using the inbuilt config file. Upped to 950MHz (High), rather than Turbo to avoid any SD card corruption that the Turbo mode could potentially add.

Benchmark for RC5 on Dnet...

Well I'd need about 5 to match the integer speed of my Mac mini, which draws 85W at load (according to Apple, not sure on actual).

So that's maybe 20W for perhaps similar performance (if the...

That's what I wanted to hear! Thanks, I'll wait for it to see if there's any work left on it and then remove.

Away on work at the minute but intending to over clock my Pi this weekend. :)

I'm using BOINC stats BAM to track my stats and my hosts (currently just the one but just ordered my new hardware today! :) )

Anyhow, I'm thinking of dropping the Mindmodelling project for a bit...

Problem with the application according to the forums. All seems to be running fine now.

Anyone running this and getting some bad units? The latest batch have all errored. :(

I saw that one - the lack of research papers and aims put me off. If I'm donating my time and money (electric), I want to know it's going to a good cause. Current ones are eOn (good track record of...

I've recently started crunching again (and considering my old team was fairly dead, you'll notice I've jumped ship...)

Anyhow, I've jumped on three projects that interest me the most science wise...

Thanks for trying again :)

Not sure how it worked but it did first time when I tried it. On the i3 server I'm running for the testing (and a server for myself to do some game server testing with),...

Installed BOINC on mine tonight.

:icon_lol:

Might have found the issue. I missed a p from the mpi command.

Should be



mpirun -np 8 fds5_mpi_linux_64 Scale1.fds

I'll be getting an OVH dedicated server for a month to have a play with linux and see what I can come up with. That'll let me play around with both linux and windows benchmarks (I have a Windows 2012...

Dirk, thanks for trying it. It looks like (from the attached text you sent me), that unfortunately it ran the test on a single core



./fds5_mpi_linux_64 scale1.fds
Process 0 of 0 is...

I sold all mine when they hit $12.

I guess that's how investing works!

Thanks Dirk and vaughan.

Dirk, that's the problem I've come across. It's one thing to say run the benchmark but you need the people with them to be willing to run them.

Same to all!

Some cycling today before the parents come to visit and celebrate me finishing my thesis. :)

And it's now sunny, none of this snow rubbish we had last week!

I've been adding some more figures.

I imagine the Xeon X5660 is getting the same kind of speeds as the i7's due to the additional onboard cache (12M compared to 8M) as well as the additional 2...

Dirk - Uploaded the Linux version here. It assumes you're running a 64 bit distro.

The shell script should run the single core and then move onto the multicore.
Shell script is:



#!/bin/sh...

Dirk - The ZIP files are for Windows only, I'll create a shell script and download for the linux one this evening. Multi core would be more of a hassle to run (requires the installation of additional...

Thanks Dave.

The issue that arises is that the software is an odd one - sometimes it runs better single core than multicore and therefore a faster clock speed would benefit.

I'm trying to benchmark a wide range of CPU's for some work I'm doing for some research and wondered if anyone fancied helping me out by running the following benchmark test?

Either method will...

Nope, nothing showed up in my mail - wonder what the issue is?

As you say, as long as the points are coming in, does it matter? :icon_lol:

Not sure on this Dnet lark - benchmarks seem to be all...

Brucifer - I'm not getting any email sent to my address. Nothing in my spam folder or inbox and it's obvious it's my correct address as the work is being credited to that account!

I'm on RC5 only...
