How about a Team Rally?

[BC]

Pepe,

My 'toughest' Mfolds complete in approx 44 minutes, most are 37 min.
The 'downloaded' estimate is 1:51:43.13

Does this help?

Turn off the screen saver.

If you divide 2983.68/1042.86 you will get 2.86. This means that your computer is 2.86x faster than mine. So you should process a wu in 55min but in your case you process one in 24 min.

If you divide 6099.08/1383.79 you will get 4.41. This means that your computer is 4.41x faster than mine. So you should process a wu in 36min but in your case you process one in 24 min.

With this few calculations i can tell you that credits system is not linear to speed processing. Probably depends on memory speed, etc.

Re: Screen Saver:

I have it turn off the whole video card.... it goes into power save and
shutdown down the video entirely. Isn't that the right thing to do?

My processor now feeds the AGP directly... The Northbridge isn't involved
anymore. I *thought* turning off the video was best. If it's not, what
is the best?



Re Perf: Credits are linear to performance, but memory speed is part of that and I don't have a valid memory speed to give you. I just know the
memory on this thing is fast as hell!

The only memory benchmarks I have are 'FreshDiagnose' and Crystal.

-- Fresh reports:
Integer = 28,287
Real = 29,157
Split Integer = 63,847
Split Real = 85,576


-- Crystal reports: (32 bit mode also)
Rd = 2100.54 MB/sec
Wr = 1430.73 MB/sec
RW = 1407.51 MB/sec
Cache = 17107.58 MB/sec

Cache latency = 134 clocks, worse case load (largest block and row sizes)

NOTE: This is ECC REGISTERED memory... it's CL2, but has CL3 characteristics beause of the extra clock cycle for the buffer chip.

Does that help a bit more?

PS: Chaz, how did you get remote rpc working... I am not having ANY results. Did you put it in the registry???

My registry has under .../Services/BOINC :
"ImagePath" G:\Predictor\boinc_cli.exe -win_service -allow_remote_gui_rpc

No I dont use services, i added that switch to a shortcut I created to the boinc cli. i wish I could post pics, I'd put up a screenshot for you.
Just make a shortcut to thc cli, and put this in the "Target Line" G:\Predictor\boinc_cli.exe -allow_remote_gui_rpc
all done, but you wont have a service like you want

Thank you Chaz,
That answers what I was afraid of.... Boinc_CLI can only handle 1
command line argument. That is what the rumored bug was.

I'm using boincview (from germany) in file mode to watch the XML files) and run a service until 4.00 BOINC is out next week or so...

With 4.00 out... it will always be a service and the GUI will be detached properly....

I discussed this whole thing (GUI, CLI and service) with the team lead a few months ago.... it's about to finish being tested and will be released.

I will ask today when to expect it... then we all benefit.

BC,

how do you know that credits are linear to performance? Do you have the source code?

By performance you mean cpu speed, memory speed, etc..

I'm off and running already :D Go Team!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off and running????????????????????????????????

I didn't say "Warp 9" !!!!!!!

I'm still aligning my warp coil ... sheesh!!!


ROFLMAO!!!

I found a bug in BOINC. If you shutdown the computer by turning off the electricity then all your work will vanish. Everything.

WOW..... guess that is solid enough proof of my theory that I suggested to BOINC Dev.

I am sorry you lost your work... queued and unposted.

Have you been able to reattach ok?
