Riesel Sieve Question ???

[PoorBoy]

If I set up the P4 3.4 I have to run the Riesel Sieve Test Wu's (Which look like they are LLR Wu's) Under the BOINC Client are those Credits included in my Regular Riesel Sieve Credits or put in a separate LLR Project ... ???

[AMDave]

BOINC LLR credits are combined with sieve credits

Here's some further discussion and historic open voting in relation to the RS_LLR_BOINC scoring which helps to understand the ratios

I run mostly sieving.

Recently I tried a couple of LLR tasks on some P4s. As an example my P4 3.2GHz Prescott Win XP Pro completed some tasks in 9 hr 40 mins and some at just over 10 hours each. They claimed 77.71 and 80.39 each but were granted 223 points or about 22 pts / hr.

In contrast a P4 2.53GHz Win XP Home took 6,900sec - just under 2 hrs to sieve a task, claimed 15.49 and granted 27 points or 13.5 pts / hr.

A Quad Q6600 Win XP Pro took 3,137sec - 52.5 mins - claimed 13.63 and granted 27 points or 23.5 pts / hr.

I added a Core 2 Quad Q6600 and a Core 2 Duo E6400 this week and cut back a little on eOn in order to outpace John Wells. However, I'm running out of physical space and power points in my computer room to out produce mac2312 or PTS-ICT[BAT]

Okay, thanks guys, I'm going to try a few LLR's on my P4 3.4 because from what I've read the P4's do better on the LLR Wu's than the Regular Sieve Wu's.

[PoorBoy]

Well I set up the P4 3.4 to a Separate Preference and got a couple of LLR's running on it so in the Morning they should be done & have received their Credit so I'll know then if it's worth running them or not on the P4.

But what I didn't want to happen is that all the Quads switched to the Separate Preference too because I was just running the Default Preferences & they all got a mess of the LLR Wu too ...

So I set up another Separate Preference and switched the Quads to that so they wouldn't get anymore. Any Idea on how the Quads do on the LLR Wu's ... ??? Or is it better to just run the regular Riesel Sieve Wu's on them. I notice everybody seems to run the Regular RS Wu's so there must be something about the LLR ones that people don't like ... ???

[LeBo]

Are you guys crunching the Boinc client of LLR or the regular version?

[PoorBoy]

I just ran a few of the BOINC Client LLR's, hard to say when I'll get Credit for them as they haven't even been sent to anybody else yet ...

[AMDave]

I still have a "regular" LLR borg plugging away.

[vaughan]

LeBo I run the BOINC application mostly except for a couple of old P4s that run classic LLR occasionally. I have left a P4 2.66GHz Compaq notebook on it.

Re the Quad's performance on BOINC-LLR: they do OK but better on Sieving. There's no doubt about it but LLR is VERY hard work.

Having tried my hand at catch-up recently I say

to AMDave our leader in RieselSieve LLR.

Great effort buddy.

I got a client error on 6 out of 10 LLR WUs so I went back to Sieving..
