    Boinc manager 5.4.11

    I´ve downloaded and installed this new client as they recommended. However i got so low Benchmark results on my AMD64 :?

    2.243 Floating point MIPS
    4.152 Integer MIPS

    Before I had over 4.000 Floating points MIPS and over 13.000 Integer MIPS. I had 5.2.6 Cruncher´s Boinc.

    But when I´m loking at the working process the WU calculates like a clock. 1,2,3,4,5 like when you ar looking att your second hand. No pause or jump forward in time.

    I will look if I lose points compared to before.

    The regular boinc clients always get much lower MIPS values on the benchmarks because they don't use SSE/SSE2 instructions... :roll:

    if the project has quorum of only one you will see a big difference

    less of a difference in quorum of two

    hardly noticably quorum of three

    Lagu,

    I did the same thing and found that most if not all projects give the same credit weather or not I use the Crucher client. So I wouldn't worry too much.

    I remember reading that there was someone looking for a copy of SSE3 to archive and couldn't find one. This link has a copy of MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3 if anyone wants them. Plus the auto test and install.

    Lagu, run your CPU benchmarks again a couple of times as the results are way too low. You should be seeing about 1,000 to 2,000 on Floating Point and about 2,000 to 4000 on Integer (depending on you processor speed) with 5.4.11. Sometimes the results can come out very low if the processor is busy with a virus scan etc.
    You will have problems otherwise because the project servers may think you have a very slow computer and won’t give you much work. dAVE

    Until you start returning work faster than they expect, thus casuing the PC's calibration to change.

    Keith75, you are right. I couldn´t se any difference in time and points in Einstein.

    What’s the truth?

    I have exactly the same version of Boinc Manager on both my computers.

    My old AMD 1001 Mhz 640 MB RAM got more than twice so many WU´s as my more than twice so fast AMD 64 3.200+ (Over clocked to 2.365 Mhz and 1 GB RAM. They both are running Leiden Classical.
