Post: My vote is: I Have two HD 4770 cards running on MW & Collatz. Would like to be able to use them here too. On the above 2 projects they're each faster than a GTX 295 and use far less energy. |

Post: 1) How do I get rid of this "stuck" WU so that the computer can be deleted as a host? 1) Thanks for the advice, now posted here: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=20019 2) Have done this several times and so far no go :-( 3) Not exactly irrelevant, as both of the above projects have researchers who actually respond to concerns and fix problems. In my 7+ year experience with SETI@home, that is not the case here. Maybe it will change someday. |

I've tried resetting the flag in my SETI account to no avail. Any solution? Thanks in advance! |

(Message 112745)

Post: > If you are referring to the 90nm Semprons oops, typo... Anyway, I made an app_info.xml that works here for migrating from either: setiathome_4.09_windows_intelx86.exe or setiathome_4.11_windows_intelx86.exe to setiathome_4.11_windows_jo-athlon64-sse2_1105-1.exe You may want to check it for typos... :-) Maybe someone who knows more about this than I do should take a look at it... Anyway, again, it works here... BTW, the 90nm Sempron does work fine with the setiathome_4.11_windows_jo-athlon64-sse2_1105-1.exe client. Download the app_info.zip here: http://www.citilink.com/~beyond/app_info.zip and unzip it... |

Cache is King, Pentium-M CPU is the fastest!!!

Post: > Mobo can make a real difference, I think your chaintech mobo is WAY WAY better than my ECS mobo. Quite likely. It uses the nForce 2 Ultra 400 chipset, so SHOULD be very fast. Unfortunately the implementation is so bad that the dual channel memory is unusable. That's the most serious problem but there are others. No BIOS updates are available. Dual channel generally helps S@H a lot, E@H not as much. This is the second Chaintech I've used lately. Both were poor. The brands I'd recommend are: Abit, Asus, Biostar, Epox, Gigabyte, MSI. The worst sample of any of these was better than either Chaintech. The socket 754 90nm Sempron 2600+ is a work in progress. Right now it's running stability tests at 310FSB, 2480MHz. So far so good. Impressive for a 1600MHz processor. It's installed on an EPoX 8KDA3J MB, which needless to say is also VERY impressive for a sub $75 motherboard. Of course memory and HT must be locked at a lower speed. Processor voltage is bumped .05, a very modest increase. Chipset voltage is default. |

Post: > ok, neat... but that's still a massive OC, it's no wonder your times are > better than the other guy's even with a small-ish cache, and very close > to the vastly superior Athlon64 3400. The 2500+ is only overclocked by 10% and doesn't even have dual channel memory because of the inferior Chaintech MB. The 2600+ is the "massive OC". Interestingly both it and the A64 3400+ run at 2400MHz. The Sempron gets a boost from the 300MHz FSB vs 220MHz on the A64. The A64 gets a boost from it's dual memory channels and 512k cache. Pretty much comes out a wash in the end. BTW, the 90nm A64 chips are also great OCers. Then you can have the best of both worlds. Both of my A64s are 130nm. > The only surprise is that you've managed to keep it the coolest. Stock retail 2700rpm HS/Fan. Planning to install a bit better cooler to see how far it will go. Pretty amazing chips IMO. Its interesting that the 90nm AMD parts run so much cooler than the 130nm, when Intel's 90nm P4 parts run much hotter than their 130nm. |

Post: > AMD Sempron XP 2500+, is the 2nd fastest with a turn around time of between 4-6 hours. Hmm, something is wrong here. I'm also not so sure about the "Cache is King" theory (especially notice the 128k cache on the 2600+ Sempron listed below), although more cache definitely does help somewhat. You have to remember that the PM and P4 are very different animals altogether. Granted a Pentium M is faster in many measures than a P4, and is generally much faster clock for clock. It also is quite weak in other areas. The P4 relies in a large measure on raw clock speed, produces massive amounts of heat in it's 90nm form and as we all know has come to the end of it's road. But I digress... BTW, if your cache theory IS correct, I would think that the Athlon64 FX (1MB cache) processors would be the fastest for S@H BOINC. As far as your Sempron 2500+ time, there must be something else going on with that machine, it's much slower than it should be. Here are my times for various AMD processors: Seti@Home Boinc: Athlon64 3400+ (socket 939, 512k cache)with 9% overclock: 1:50 - 2:12 Sempron 2600+ (socket 754, 128k cache)with 50% overclock: 2:02 - 2:25 AthlonXP 2500+ (socket A, 512k cache) with 20% overclock: 2:11 - 2:33 Athlon64 2800+ (socket 754, 512k cache)with 10% overclock: 2:14 - 2:39 Sempron 2500+ (socket A, 256k cache)with 10% overclock: 2:43 - 3:06 Einstein@Home Boinc: Athlon64 3400+ (socket 939, 512k cache)with 9% overclock: 5:13 Sempron 2600+ (socket 754, 128k cache)with 50% overclock: 5:12 AthlonXP 2500+ (socket A, 512k cache) with 20% overclock: 5:50 Athlon64 2800+ (socket 754, 512k cache)with 10% overclock: 6:07 Sempron 2500+ (socket A, 256k cache)with 10% overclock: 6:40 A few notes: These processors are overclocked but are 100% stable and have produced 100% valid results in both projects. The Athlon64 3400+ and AthlonXP 2500+ have dual channel memory. The Sempron 2500+ machine is hampered by a very crappy Chaintech MB that does not OC well and also refuses to run dual channel memory no matter what the brand or configuration. The large OC on the Sempron 2600+ is typical and IMO is largely due to it's 90nm SOI process. Interestingly, it's still the coolest running machine of the lot. |

Merging computers - "FORCE MERGE!"

Posted 11 Apr 2005 by Beyond
Post: I also vote for some kind of a force merge option. BOINC seems to want to duplicate computers for no apparent reason even when there has been no change at all to the machine, OS or client; and then can't figure out which ones to merge. |

Post: Just move the BOINC Manager icon from your startup folder. BOINC Manager does not have to be loaded for work to process. (I assume you installed BOINC as a service) Regards |
