Number crunching :
I'm falling, I bought a parachute. From 100% AP, to 100% MB.

Well, perhaps there is some new OpenCL build i'm not aware of. AFAICT there is no such app as "HD4". I should change that. Its just not HD5. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

That parachute you bought, was it a HALO? :-) |

Make sure you take it back to the manufacturers and complain... |

We are all following your decent with baited breath.... Will it be more like a "TOMATO-SPLAT" or like a "PUMPKIN-SPLAT"? |

I hate to be a spoilsport, or something similar, but you can see where this is going; On another note, did you see how many channels are loaded? total channels to do: MB 770 AP 160 By my rough calculations, we are probably going to be without APs for around 8-9 days waiting for those 700 MB channels to burn off. During that period, I expect to see all sorts of problems trying to keep the MB ready to send above Zero. This should be interesting... |

Hold tight, we will get Mrs.Trellis of North Wales to organise her knitting circle to make you a safety net, should only take them a few hours..... Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

....but he's only got 59 minutes left before he hits the deck. Better get that knitting sped up somewhat. |

Sten, I'm sure that you'll find a soft landing sooner or later (you won't go "splat!"). ;-) Cheers. |

25 hours later, at 15,644.35 feet (RAC). Lost 20174 feet (RAC) since March 6th. Sten, you are using the wrong parachute! |

Well i can only chime in that i noticed this early on. This is quote from me in our team forum 254 Days ago.. "Well now it's confirmed that running AP on CPU also gives credit boost. It's a 3930K machine with HT turned off (Yes it still sucks too much to be useful) and is running Lunatics 0,41 optimised executables. On one of my hosts i'm running s@h7 and ap6 in parallell and compares credit/second on the cpu.. A AP WU ~ 0,041 - 0,043 credits/cpu second A S@H7 WU ~ 0,019 - 0,021 credits/cpu second So by only adjusting that our primary tasks are AP tasks and tick the "If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?" box. That would make our boxes out there try to download AP's first of all. I didn't Think i would see the light of the day that i tried to encourage you to run AP here in GPUUG but as their now creditnew invention goes on" Notice that i'm Writing CPU second and not GPU so even the CPUs got more credits doing AP tasks. This is a shame and should be addressed and fixed asap in my opinion! I mean how hard can it be to adjust the earning (credit) parameters of MB7 up to atleast AP levels. MB6 is of the charts anyhow so they don't even need to try to match it to older multibeam. I hope you land soft Sten! Thanks for bringing this topic up that has been going on since around June last year.

Someone please point this tread to DA or whoever have anything to say about the credit problem :) |

This discrepancy in credit has been documented by more crunchers that I can count; every cruncher's GPU and CPU gets less cobblestones for MB that AP. With the tweaking that can be done on AP as opposed to MB WU the difference will vary but it will be significant. Look at the hosts, they are all gaining with the recent AP feast. Sorry you are on a diet OP. |

What have you done with the OP and his flag? Some strange things going on. |

For reasons that may not become apparent Sten-Arne has decided to remove his name, picture and flag. Earlier on he was "Nobody". |
