Strange Points Results

Post: I always check BOINCstats to see the daily combined points listing at the bottom of the page, then go to SETI and Einstein to check individual results. I guess I can't add right: Guess I just answered this one myself. Looks like BOINC stats actually list at the bottom of the page the TOTAL from the day before! Just checked the 27 Jun stats and the "My Total" would have been 59 - reported by BOINC as the total for 28 Jun! |

Post: I always check BOINCstats to see the daily combined points listing at the bottom of the page, then go to SETI and Einstein to check individual results. I guess I can't add right: .............SETI...Einstein....My Total....BOINC Total 28 Jun....392..........0.........392.............59 29 Jun....175......371.........546...........392 Why is there such a big difference (today is 30 Jun)? I don't know how long this has been going on - maybe I just don't understand the bottom line totals. Anybody have any ideas? |

Benchmarking between PCs

Post: Astro: Thanks for the tip concerning CPUZ. Ran it on both machines and discovered that the BIOS default settings on the slower machine (AsRock) were driving the DRAM at 133 instead of 200. Corrected that and matched the clock settings. Re-Ran CPUZ on it and still had the same low MIPS. Also discovered I had made a mistake in the original posting: PC1 is an ASUS with 775 socket PC2 is an AsRock with 478 socket No power saving software installed on either machine. Both XP Pro with all updates/patches. Both have i865 chip sets. Alinator: PC1 with the higher MIPS is actually running more background processes than PC2. The only difference I see right now is the 775 -vs- 478 socket. Could the benchmark software be testing the two sockets differently? Seems wierd to me! |

Post: Any Ideas why I’m getting these differences? Benchmark Results – PC1: Number of CPUs: 2 1325 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 1585 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU Benchmark Results – PC2: Number of CPUs: 2 789 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 843 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU Both PCs using Intel P4 3,0 (socket 478) with 1GB RAM. Both have Intel Chip Set. One is AsRock and the other MSI. Why the big difference in performance? |

Time remaining is increasing
(Message 550390)
Posted 21 Apr 2007 by Rick
Post: All of my Einstein projects, and sometimes SETI, will download OK but once the projects starts, the following happens: Elapsed time increases (to be expected) Remaining time increases (really wierd) Sometimes if I stop and then restart SETI projects, this is corrected, but more often than not the project breaks down (remain time ---) and the elapsed time is uploaded. No such luck with Einstein. My HDD space utilization is also increasing by the minute. I've never seen elapsed times of 15 hours with 15 hours remaining. What gives? I've tried stopping and restarting BIONIC, rebooting, etc. but no luck. Anybody have any ideas? |

Post: How are points computed? By CPU time? What about significant results? Are we ever notified if anything interesting at all is ever found in our processes? |

CPU Usage
(Message 455404)
Posted 11 Nov 2006 by Rick
Post: Is there (yet) a way to set individual PC CPU usage? I have an Intel 3.0 and an old Intel 450. I don't want to set them both at 50%, but the old one just can't take the 100% for more than a few minutes at a time (overheating or PS?). I've also got an Intel 400 that's having no problems at all. |
