I would say double that as my T7200(2.0 GHz) is running toward 80 hours.


That sounds more realistic to me from other comments I've seen on the boards.

I would say double that as my T7200(2.0 GHz) is running toward 80 hours.

If so, it looks like the AstroPulse application for the MAC is a bit slower than the stock Linux and Windows x86 applications are. My T7200 (2.0GHz) needed ca. 61 hours for its first AP wu (wuid 310110487).
That is exactly the same timerange i have seen during beta testing.

i got recently an astropulse workunit,working very well, but of course it will be rather long, even with multiprocessors computer.. anyway, this becomes very interesting . these works have to remain to all that it's first a work for science, with a lot of patience, and not just for lil points..

I have been working to move AP Issues and general comments into one of two threads.
This one and this AstroPulse errors - Reporting which is "Stickied" to the top of the thread.
Yes I know that means links posted to some messages are now incorrect.

It makes is easier for Josh and Eric to review one or two threads for issues.

I think part of that is you have more cache on yours that I do on mine, possibly a faster bus as well. I have 1 MB cache and a 800 MHz bus.

I have a 10 day cache and just stepped under the bus......LOL.

Thanks to Henri for postings on modifying app_info and to Josef for the hint to check the sched request file.
After waiting about 4 days -- I got my first AP unit - woohoo! Looks like 70+ hours for a desktop slogger like me. It certainly reduces the number of WUs in the task tab.


No problem, Dr.Argentum. :)

Is all working well?

Henri.

I hope your joking, our both processors are from the same type, share Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6 and the L2 cache is part of the processor (BOINC shows the correct value on Linux but other OS's don't, old bug).
The FSB is 167MHz x4 = 667 on mine, and it should be the same on yours, if you don't overclock.

I had to go check my specs and you are right I actually have the 4 MB and 667.

Just for comparison, my Q9450 is running @ 3.56 and I have 5 AP WU's currently waiting to upload all of which took between 25hrs 32mins and 25hrs 45mins to complete.

BOINC estimate is a bit of optimistic. It finished at 26hrs and 11 mins. It took a bit longer than yours as this is rig is my primary pc for gaming, browsing, etc.

Primary rig?? My Q9450 is my only rig other the lappie that I use for work purposes (occasionally crunches Beta) so this is used for everything as well as crunching.

just got my first AP unit! it's a bout a day plus down in my queue, if it goes by the order in the BOINC window. estimated time, 47:16:32. we shall see what my 1.8 2 gig 24/7 iMac G5 can do. giddy up!

My take would be to say 120 hours, as my iMac took 81.

ok...on my last seti unit now, so should be starting the AP one in bout 2.8 hours. this could compel me to finally get that dual 3.2 quad core, 32 gig/ram Mac Pro i have been dreaming about. :)

So you have about 2 weeks CPU time left... Plenty of time to beat the 11 Sep, deadline. Your RAC on that host will be ~48 if only crunching AP WUs(assuming standard 715 credits per AP WU). Quite a drop from present RAC of ~140 :-(

I decided to only run AP on my Dell as the iMac @81 hours was just too long for not much credit. Along with the fact that the AP app can crash if it tried to resume after being paused by other work.

The Dell does them in about 42 hours.
