The main file server has failed once again. At this time we do not know how serious the problem is. The project may be down for a couple of days until a temporary replacement fileserver can be put in place. More news will be posted here as it becomes available.

I noticed the CPDN and the SETI I run do not function at all, nether does Einstein. Both CPDN and SETI worked fine in 4.19.

7) Message boards : Number crunching : Multi Runs of BOINC ? (Message 73238) Posted 23 Jan 2005 by KR Jones Post: All I can say is when I had one instance of the commandline 3.08 running on this machine, I did not get the same number of work units per day out as I did when I ran 10. I averaged what I am averaging now 10-12. When I made multiple folders, changed the program name (ex.: seti2.exe,etc) and enabled them at startup for 10 instances, I almost doubled my output. Maybe it has to do with the Xeon Architecture. I believe a good percentage of the top 25 machines are Xeon. My Extreme edition is a "gene altered" bastard cousin of the Xeon. New thought : Ok, I see now where BOINC works, you're correct, if i skipped CPDN, I would equal my old output. Maybe what I was attempting to get across before was that the mult-instance CMDLINE was able to swing what BOINC does now, except BOINC, I guess, is more efficient at it.

It may be that the calculation time is nearly equivalent from one version to another, however, I can confirm that between mid-May and mid-December, my PC, while running 10 instances of 3.08 CMDLINE, generated 3500+ work units. Thus averaging 19.4 per day. BOINC_GUI is doing one every 2 hours, steady, for a 10-12 average per day. ClimatePrediction.net also runs BOINC on this machine.

And the "work" tab shows one work unit in analisys. When I eliminate Climate Prediction the 2 w/u's are in progress, but I still feel the CMDLINE 3.08 seemed faster. I did almost 4000 work units in about 6 months. I wish I had actual numbers so i could calculate the exact units per day.

I think that is the question I have really, because 10 instances of the old GUI version of SETI would not have worked on a system, but the CMD line 3.08 did.

Runs great acually and the system was cranking out 15-20 Work units per day. So I gather the architecture of the way this BOINC calculates and the older CMD LINE is entirely different. It still seems to be slower than the previous CMD LINE 3.08 at leat on this system as I can only turn out 12 maximum per day it seems.

12) Message boards : Number crunching : Multi Runs of BOINC ? (Message 72868) Posted 22 Jan 2005 by KR Jones Post: I used to be able to set 10 command line SETI's at once in the background of this system, yes, 10, and still had control of the system and such. The new BOINC does not seem to be processing as fast as that array. I attempted to setup a boinc_gui2 and all hell broke out and I lost some data including a climateprediction.net item that was 60% complete! Had to merge hosts to fix the results of that disaster. Any ideas? I know this system is able to crank out a better rate than the credit I have been given thus far. My last setup in SETI 3.08 generated almost 4,000 work units in almost 6 months of run time.
