Hi guys, I'm a little surprised about the score that my home pc get every day. The average is 200-300 credits with 50% of CPU allowed to work. Here is my pc GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz [Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 10] (4 cpu) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 (1279MB) driver: 361.45 OpenCL: 1.1 Linux 4.4.0-31-generic I had tried to set CPU to 100% and the results are almost the same. Do you think this is the max that my CPU can make? |

Hey Otacon, As a general rule, 1 GPU needs 1 CPUcore to feed it. Then, depending on the GPU app (Cuda##, sah, SoG) being used, the best output also sometimes requires a free CPU core. So for your Core2Quad, your safest best is only to process tasks on 2 CPUcores. If you plan to use the PC for other uses, this is usually the best setting also. Once you get an idea of your daily output, you can try processing 3 tasks on CPUcores. As for your low output on that PC, it seems it was not processing much during the last 40 days.

The tasks look to be taken a fairly normal range of run-times, so there may be something else causing the apparent low RAC. A couple of questions: How many concurrent tasks are you running on the GPU? Have you got computing suspended when the computer is in use? How many hours a day is the computer running? The answers to all of these will affect the number tasks executed in a day. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |
