The kitties would like a bit more kibble in the bowls too! No chance! I installed a new video card yesterday afternoon. |

The kitties would like a bit more kibble in the bowls too! I brought 7 more machines online yesterday as well. Mostly all dual socket Xeons. :/ SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

I just checked, and I have 1 more task than the previous limit. That hadn't happened before, so I am guessing the limits have been increased. With 6 cores, and 2 GPU's, my limit was 1100 tasks. Now I have 1101 tasks. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

I think you might just have a ghost Steve. I'm still limited to 50/400... |

I've got over 100 ghosts over my three machines... |

I think you might just have a ghost Steve. I'm still limited to 50/400... I think so as well. My HTPC is still limited to 302 tasks. :( Edit: Double checking I only have 200 tasks on the box. So I do seem to have 102 ghosts that are not getting resent. At least it is 50 tasks per CPU core instead of 50 CPU tasks total now.

Fortunately I have been able to keep close to my limits lately, but I really wish I could build a cache. 400 wu per GPU is only 1 days worth. I have a few days of CPU work, including AP units, but my GPU's are quite the work hogs. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

Now I have 1101 tasks. Kind sir, may I please borrow about 100 GPU tasks for one of my computers? Please send them in an unmarked envelope. I have this "new build" (newly built from old parts) that's capable of 15k+/day and I keep an In Progress list in the single digits and it's only turning-in 3k/day because it's starving for work. I know it'll iron itself out in time, so I'm not worried. I even approve of the reason you don't overwhelm a new system with work. Still, it's hurting my feelings. |

i think when the new generation of graphic cards arrive we will need a new limits or 10 day cache will be a lot lower than in the real world. |

I have a few days of CPU work, including AP units, but my GPU's are quite the work hogs. Haven't checked this, had about 20 AstroPulse WUs, done in 2 to 5 hours, 2 per (ATI 5870) GPU, but I noticed too often 1 is running on 0.5 GPU, if there's not enough work, so I better set this to 1 per GPU. In a previous post, in this thread, you said, I'm using 6 cores (CPU) and 4 on GPUs, when you use HyperThreading, are you experiencing too long computation times, doubled or another reason, keeping you from using HTT? I get the best times with HTT on, only a real (SSSE3x) Floating Point Benchmark, I can see, the I7-2600, is faster, whithout HTT. But the i7-2600, ups the frequency, from 3.4 to 3.8GHz., if 1 or 2 cores are used, whitout HTT. (Also with HTT on, but slightly lower frequencies). I'd like more AstroPulse work.... And, too often, the slowest host gets them. |

My Badger is still hungry. More popcorn please!! And yes, they seem to have a changed formula for restrictions at the moment.. Badger tops out around 1300(slightly more, but close. That is with 16 "cores", and 2(1 double) GPU's. Janice |

For my particular rig, just cruching Seti, I get jagged GPU output when using hyperthreading, and hence reduced output with hyperthreading on. With hyperthreading off, the GPU output is very smooth, and loaded at 98-99%. Once I get back around 80,000 RAC, I will experiment with hyperthreading again. On Einstein it is a different story. Hyperthreading works very well there, as the project is using different strengths than Seti. My CPU speed is at 4.2 GHz, and my GPU's are running at 871 MHz Your mileage may vary.

The kitties would like a bit more kibble in the bowls too! True, but more kibble in the kitty bowls is achievable.....LOL. Release the Kraken. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
