Beerknurd, with the processor you have you should run two instances of UBERO. ;)

I still don't get why Pokerhasi's agent is so much faster than mine. If let his go all day he would hit over 2000 per day. The highest i've gotten is in the 1340's. I don't know how he does it. I'll run 2 sessions of Ubero for the rest of the night to see if it make a diffrence. My computer boggs down a little when I run 2.

He's running 3 instances in his machine. :shocked!:

He's running 3 instances in his machine. :shocked!:

The result's of running more than one instance on the same machine will not change the overall WU Total, because every instance will share the cpu speed equally (depending on the priority).

The possible reasons are that Pokerhasi's has a faster machine somehow or he has more than one machine reporting with the same Agent name.

Example:
I can have my AMD running on my first agent name, that is "Athlon XP 1900+" and at the same time put my other too machines running with this same agent name. In this case i do not share the same cpu but i make a kind of vvvvvvvvvvvery little cluster running ubero without the need of physical connections between them :D .

The WU count will all go to the same agent leading to a very inflated WU per machine.

Regards

PS: Regarding the fact that i do not bileave that Pokerhasi's is doing this, the main cause could be the use he is not giving to the pc during the run of ubero and/or the pc configuration...
And you Guest ( i guess it's Beerknurd here) beside having a faster pc are or is not so well configured to the top performance...

[Beerknurd]

Well how can I make it faster???? Or it it too hard to explain???

[numibesi]

That depends alot from what you have inside your box.

But generaly the next topic's help the increase of WU prodution (not much):

- Not using the PC leaving it only processing WU.
- Using IBM Java (I guess you have that already)
- Overclocking your machine, in all ranges, not only cpu (ATENTION: This may send your pc to trash so procced with caution!!! At your own risk.)

Not muth to do on ubero besides this, any new info is also appretiated ;)

[Beerknurd]

I would hate to mess up my new computer. So I guess I'll have to be happy with 1700 WU's per day.

[Pokerhasi]

Just to take away all misunderstandings:

I do not run the same client name on different machines, I just run 3 instances on one client with 150MB RAM for each instance.
em99010pepe told me, that IBM Java runs much faster, and it does, so I´m useing the IBM....
My main machine is an P4-3200 with 1024MB RAM and has never been overclocked.... it runs all day and I only sometimes use it for gameing or sth which uses much performance, so nearly 24h of a day are there for researching ;o) I think the main thing which boosts the performance is, that the Hyperthreating speeds up the instances..... I would say you have got abour 150% Performance, if there are allways at least two instances running. That means you have to run at least three instances, to max out your machines performance, because there will nearly allways be at least two instances running, while one is sending and receiving WUs.

I can´t remember any day, where I hit the 2000 WU/day border... when should that have been?... My max was 16xx some days ago... but I´m still trying to max out offcourse :D

Bye an CU,

Pokerhasi

Well i think i may of found some thing that may make Ubero go faster. Well for someone who could not hit over 300Wu in 24hrs on an 2400xp it was quite a shock to find that now i can hit over 300wu with this little gem.
Well anyway i will cut to the chase. i found this on Unbro forum.

Topic: Making Ubero faster in text mode

By
beerknurd

Currently I am using

java -Xms300m -Xmx300m -XX:NewSize=100m -XX:MaxNewSize=100m -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent -text

to start Ubero in text mode. I have one of the best computers you can buy right now but will barely hit 1000 completed per day. Which I know is alot faster than most people. Does anyone know of any faster commands to tweak Ubero. There has to because tcwicks is running over 2000 per day and my computer is faster. Even though we are running this for free this sure is addictive. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

So your bat file should look like this

@echo off

REM --- The standard way of running Ubero
REM java -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent


REM --- If you want to run Ubero in text mode
java -Xms300m -Xmx300m -XX:NewSize=100m -XX:MaxNewSize=100m -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent -text


REM --- If you want to run Ubero with the GUI hidden when it starts
java -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent -hidden



REM --- On Windows NT, 2000 and XP, if you want to start Ubero as a low priority process
REM start /LOW java -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent



REM --- If you installed the Java SDK instead of the Java JRE you can get better performance
REM --- by running Java in "server" mode
REM java -server -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent



REM --- If you use Linux, Unix, or OS X you can set a process priority by using the "nice" or "renice"
REM --- command the change Ubero's priority while it runs

nickth,

It's strange that your computer can only manage to process 300 Wu a day. I have an AMD 1,1Ghz and it can process 340 Wu's per day. You should be doing something like 1000 Wu's a day.
