Hi! I would like to know how my boxes are doing. Classic seti was good indicator if all is OK: by checking average I've been able to find a number of problems. Since two weeks ago over half of my Seti power is doing BOINCed seti. Over 40/day classic. All on linux. I guess one WU is about 30 credits. This being correct, I've been awarded some 30% of WUs, with average 300 credits. All my boinc logs are kept, so counting uploaded/downloaded WUs is easy. I would like to know, if all is OK with my boxes. Difference between proposed and granted credits would tell me quite a lot. As credits are based on benchmark: by browsing around host stats, I goot a feeling that linux boxes are having lower numbers as Windows one. Might be with a way how multitasking works? If this is so, then I am allways lower as other two. Am I? Shall I patch boinc to report 10% more ;-)? Are two windows crunchers unhappy if I do third WU? Some proposals: - Please add suggested credits into logs. I do not want to patch boinc on my own. Can I calculate this from log data? - Please limit queue to few days. It makes 3 faster, and we get more realistic stats. My setting is 5 days, (a weekend + time to fix problem), but it is mostly one day long. Who keeps those WUs uncrunched for 10 days? - Please add "wu crunched/wu credited" into private pages and stats files. BR, 73 Iztok, S52D |
