How long does it take your computer to complete one workload from Seti? It takes my computer about 24 hours. |

About 2 hours on average. |

that's very helpful. I've been running seti on my old laptop because it sits idle most of the day anyway. It's 700 mhz PIII. So, based on what you said, I guess about 18-24 hours is about right |

My old Celeron coppermine 600Mhz clunker took about 20 hours. Yours appears to be in the same ballpark. Two hours is about right for my PowerMac. Account frozen... |

You could take a look at this listing of cpu time needed to crunch a reference workunit. (As a side note: by average the current workunits need some 20% less cpu-time in comparison to the reference workunit.) Greetings, Sander ![]() ![]() |

How long does it take your computer to complete one workload from Seti? It takes my computer about 24 hours. 1:45 for two WUs on my P4 3.2 1:15 for an WU on my Athlon64 3.200+ 2:30 with my Athlon XP 2.500+ all with the optimized Client http://www.marisan.nl/seti/ btw thanks at Tetsuji Maverick Rai, who make this possible.

My P4 1500Mhz does about 2 1/2 WU's per day, when running 24/7. |

Hhmmm -- My Dell Gx110s put out 2-3 WUs a day each if allowed to run 24/7 on SETI alone. You might want to recheck your P4, cuz my machines are running slightly less than 1gig speed and 256meg RAM (edited for content) |

On average, approx 1 hr 30 mins per WU on a 2.6 Ghz AMD Opteron 252 (similar clockspeed to an Athlon64 FX-55) running 100% S@H. Although that is on a standard Solaris 10 x86 client from Stefan Urbat's Site and I'm not sure how much optimisation has gone into it - so I don't know if that is confusing the list rather than confirming anything ... ![]() |

Hhmmm -- I am crunching CPDN as well... (20% CPDN, 80% SETI) |

I run a Xp3200 Athlon, 1.5 gig ram, average seti times are from 1 hour 40 minutes to 1:50 per work unit. ![]() |

So, based on what you said, I guess about 18-24 hours is about right Seems a little slow to me. With both xp pro and suse 9.3 the standard seti app on my dual p3 700 with 512MB ecc reg sdram (running two units at a time) averaged about 13 hours per work unit. With an optimized app it's about 7.5 hours per unit (excluding a few extremely long and extremely short units). When I ran xp and dual 400a celerons with 256MB unreg non-ecc sdram on this same computer work units took about 24 hours. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001) |

So, based on what you said, I guess about 18-24 hours is about right My Toshiba takes from 2 to 4 hours. My Dell takes about 4 or 5 because it is running 2 projects. They have a speed of 1.3hz and 1.5hz so not much difference there. Ricky ![]() ![]() |

So, based on what you said, I guess about 18-24 hours is about right Seems a bit slow, my 800Mhz AMD Duron, 128MB RAM laptop takes around 7hrs with the optimised client, IIRC it was around 10 with the standard client. ![]() |

It takes an average of 55.8 minutes per W/U on my AMD Athlon64-FX53 Socket 940 running at 2400MHz on ASUS SK8N with 1GIG Corsair DDR400 (2x512MB matched pair running dual channel mode, timings set at 2-3-2-6) with Tetsuji Maverick's optimized client. With standard v4.18 client, above system took an average of just over 2 hours per W/U. Happy crunching... Regards, Daniel. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

How long does it take your computer to complete one workload from Seti? It takes my computer about 24 hours. Takes me, on average, a little less than an hour to finish one WU. I'm running an AMD FX-55. Using optimized client. ![]() |
