21) Message boards : Number crunching : Anybody uploaded since 9th Dec? (Message 210943) Posted 12 Dec 2005 by Dirk Broer Post: Downloading is not the problem, but I haven't been able to upload a single WU since the 8th of December on any of my PCs or so it seems. That's tens of WUs waiting to get uploaded for me alone. Other projects seem to get affected as well, one Rosetta WU crashed (did not get past the 1% mark), one failed seti download blocked the rest of my projects for hours.

22) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC cpu performance comparison, where? (Message 194623) Posted 25 Nov 2005 by Dirk Broer Post: In old-time seti@home you could compare cpu performance through SetiSpy. How do I do that in BOINC? According to the comparison chart in SetiSpy a P2-266 (at 66Mhz memory speed) is almost as fast as a AMD K6III-450 (at 100 Mhz memory speed), but the latter runs circles around the former when doing BOINC-Seti here at home. Has some Intel adept fiddled around the with performance charts? Is a Opteron better than a AMD64X2 or a AMD64FX? Are there decent performing Intel cpu's outside the Pentium-M and the Itanium-2?
