Uh-oh, AP-assimilater 5&6 are down. I hope that's not a bad sign. I am guessing their work is done, that's all. Waiting for the next status update. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=3598421&offset=20&show_names=0&state=0&appid=5 Number waiting for validation is down from 85000 to 43000. I´ve got 108 granted already and my RAC is rising again. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Good job there Synergy! The only AP tasks I have pending now are waiting for quorum. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

All my AP work is going into the pending pile. Although many have the wingman reported also they still are waiting for the validator. It give.. 559.42 Cr. ;-) - Best regards! - Sutaru Tsureku, team seti.international founder. - Optimize your PC for higher RAC. - SETI@home needs your help. - |

Only about 9,000 APs left to validate. Then we'll have to see if the incoming can be handled and the assimilators can catch up. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

And in a few hours Raistmer release his new nVIDIA OpenCL AP app? ;-D - Best regards! - Sutaru Tsureku, team seti.international founder. - Optimize your PC for higher RAC. - SETI@home needs your help. - |

It may be a bit more than a few hours. Now that we have results he still has to go through everything to see how they are doing and if any problems pop up he has to find out why. Oh, by the way, anyone wanna race? http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=781816720 (we are still trying to figure out why I was faster on this one though.)

We now officially have 0 AP WUs awaiting validation!!!! Can we say yay? 60,268 waiting for assimilation....let's see how that goes. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Yeah Sten, I was looking at the wrong numbers. The same thing was pointed out to me on the Lunatics forum. I was looking at the CPU time instead of the run time. Why he took so much more CPU time than I did is something else that has to be looked at. PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

Your GTS450 use more wall clock time, less CPU time - than Morten's HD5800 series GPU. Maybe, the nVIDIA app use less CPU time than the ATI app (AP OpenCL). You don't know how much WUs simultaneously he had on his GPU. No entry in the <stderr_txt>. After looking to a few others, it looks like he let run 2 AP WUs simultaneously on his GPUs. So his WU ran much faster. - Best regards! - Sutaru Tsureku, team seti.international founder. - Optimize your PC for higher RAC. - SETI@home needs your help. - |

He's got 4 GPUs set to do 2 work units at a time each could have something to do with it. No telling what he had to mess with to get that rig running right. PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

Well every AP WU that had been completed by 2 people have now validated. That should cause a real spike in my stats tomorrow. SETI@home classic workunits 4,019 SETI@home classic CPU time 34,348 hours |

We now officially have 0 AP WUs awaiting validation!!!!

Yeah Sten, I was looking at the wrong numbers. The same thing was pointed out to me on the Lunatics forum. I was looking at the CPU time instead of the run time. Why he took so much more CPU time than I did is something else that has to be looked at. could you be more specific please? what is your average/typical full run time? and what is your average/typical associated CPU run time? i see you have an ATI 4xxx GPU (i have a 5870 2GB GPU), but i think we can compare different GPUs so long as we're just looking at the ratio of CPU run time to full run time. my AP tasks run for 4,500 sec. on average, while the associated CPU run times average approx. 3,200 sec. when i compared the full run times of a few random AP tasks to their associated CPU run times though, i'd say that my CPU run times most often fall between 70-85% of my full run times. i do run 2 tasks simultaneously, but i have never messed with the other parameters (-unroll xx -ffa_block xxxx -ffa_block_fetch xxxx -hp). perhaps i'm seeing high CPU run times b/c i'm still running the Lunatics v0.37 installation? maybe i'll get a chance to install v0.38 this weekend and see if that cuts down on my CPU run times. |

Update on the update - 45,590 Probably slightly less, IMO. The amount of computation involved is trivial in either case, the BOINC database load is identical. So the difference would come down to the size of the result files which have to be fetched from storage, and AP result files average smaller than MB. Because the "Results returned and awaiting validation" shows those waiting for the wingmate's return plus those waiting for a validator plus those not yet assimilated, it's hard to interpret. The "Workunits waiting for assimilation" is clear. The first two ap_assimilators are set up like the first two validators, to handle "astropulse" or "astropulse_v5" cases although there should be none. The ap_assimilator3 through ap_assimilator6 each handle a quarter of the "astropulse_v505" load, based on the remainder when the workunit ID is divided by 4. IOW, all four of those assimilators must run to actually get the "Workunits waiting for assimilation" cleared out. And unlike splitters, they shouldn't go to "Not running" state for lack of something to do, they are designed to sleep for a short period and then check again whether there's something to do. Joe |
