people outside US and running dial in, they dial to their local internet provider with local costs. Nearly nothing by night..

It's not a BBS, it's internet connection, even on analog dial in.

--> every effort to get a faster validations is welcomed.

There is no problem to make more than 20 30 or 40 Seti Work Unit a day.

Expand your thinking:

what are *some* people doing with the CPUs?

They are over clocking a much as they can.

A to much OC CPU IS doing garbage and a Work is "finished" in less than let's
say 10 Minutes or much less.

So as humans are, some are just doing it, letting the work go broken,

other are more smart and they disable internet connections and are running
SAVES to avoid data loss.

That was just one example how *everybody" CAN doit.

Sure with optimized code, a lot of gain CAN be possible.
We all can see the relatively deap cpu heat while crunching seti WUs.
Other Work from other project, is/was demanding the same CPU much higher

And the tomorrow's CPUs will be much faster than todays (dual core)

16-18 Seti Work Units is not to much estimated for a upper 3.0 Ghz Presott
the 765 socket 3.6 GHz or 3.8 GHz Intel chips will do with *normal* clients
over 20 Seti WUs a day

>Boinc for multiple CPUs. When will it be fixed?

it more looks like the fix(es) must be done on your client side.


*my* HT based clients are doing the job very well. With several client releases.

(os w2k / XP home + server / Windows Server 2003)

Excluding the delayed validation at seti, I cant find a reason to complain

When you open the taskmanager, is it showing 1 physical and 2 logical CPUs?

If not, verify in the PC setup (Bootphase-->setup) if the HT mode is "enabled".

goodluck!

What would be the change in speed when talking about finishing 1 WU, if you had lets say 512MB of ram, instead of 256MB ?

In the past, on a AMD 2400 have had 256 MB RAM DDR, ready for for 266 MHz. The same speed as the cpu is running (fsb multiplicator)

The memory was replaced later with a single stick of 512 MB, ready for 333 MHz
The MSI Mainboard was able to run the memory at the higher speed.

In addition, the memory timing of the 333 MHz stick could run stable with 2.0 instead 2.5

It was seti classic, the average crunching time from about 3:30-3:45 could be reduced to 3:08, depending the AR of WU

As the previous poster have said, not the amount of the memory is in the foreground, but much more the finaly resulting (stable) operation speed.


If you have a Mainboard, supporting dual channel memory, it could be a gain, due the memory bandwidth is added with the 2nd stick.

For instance, running a Intel based HT ready mainboard, with only one memory stick on board (one channel used) can decrease the resulting performance in a drasticaly way.

Also had on SETI classic, on a 3.0 GHZ HT, 2 sticks (two memory channels) gived 14-16 WUs per day. For testing, I took the 2nd Memory stick away (one channel modus), and the same system with the same client was reduced to 10-12 WUs a day.

I dont know, on the AMD side, with their HT (hyper transport) a 2nd stick is mandatory to have the high level memory bandwidth.

Perhaps one last thing, just to reflect:

Even a "extrem fast" system (with expensive ram and highend components)
IS slower than 2 or 3 medium or low cost CPUs.
Taking all low cost of the system together, the totaly bill will be deeper too.

At ebay, have seen "old" P3 PCs, ready for use, starting at a price level less than 20 Us Dollar. Including a m$ license... An new m$ license is more expensive as the full system.

Or have seen some AMD 2400 based PCs, starting at about 30 US dollar.

take 2 or 3 of them and give the lady prescott a "bad time" ;-)

Still trying to understand how boinc is validating the work done:

as more I'm looking deeper into the stats/results, just in point of view "getting credits", as more I' m convinced that 2 AMDs (or intel) running at about 1400 1600/1800 will return much more "credit" than one single 3.xx GHz
engine. It's not a technical question, it a question how finaly the resulting credits are taken and calculated.

To fast CPUs will most of the time get LESS than estimated credits, the other way, to SLOW CPUs will also get LESS than estimated.

Those are my personal obsevations/reflections. If you start to compare you will might find the same behaviour....

so finaly if you want to spend money for "more crunching power", spend it in a
"smart" way.

Could it be, your laptop is NOT running at the full CPU speed, or the CPU speed is trotteled down?

Hi Voyager

in about 12-14 Days, taken your RAC. Early January

> I liked Stan Popes page that tells you when you'll hit a certain milestone.
> Will it be long befor we have something like that here?
Probaly yes.

Missing Stan Pope's pages too.

Even when it can figured out what's the daily throughput on the client side is,
the validation is still the dark side in the formula. To much estimates to take.

If your crunching "power" doesn't change, You can take the received number of credits in one week and you have a weekly estimate. Not all weeks passed, the SETI project was able to run a full week without having any saturations.

But as more work is done, as less is left to do, like at seti classic.
When you get 99,99934 % done, what else can be done?

You will never be able to do more than 100%...

I'm very glad, seeing other (boinc) based projects emerging out.

> =========

223/225 fsb, please correct, it looks like the cpu is running about at
35xy MHz. Depending the Chip "quality" the speed of 3.2 is garantied

Take a look to the memory timing, SPD or not, and the values.

There is still a quality range ob level sticks, some are able to run fine and stable with ABOVE the recommanded speed settings.

When I take a look, with tools (Asus) the max speed for 3.2 Prescotty is 3733 MHz.Without taking precaution, higher speed can/will damage the cpu.
This doesn't means, the PC will run stable with this speed. And with every apps.

But PoorBoy, Your values ARE below the theoretical max.
This puttes the focus, a setting (Bios Level) and/or a Component, a part is
"not running well".

It's not sure, it must be the CPU itself.

After verifying the BIOS Values, You can exchange the MEMORY stricks, to exclude a possible RAM "low tolerance" issue.
An other problem center could be, the powersupply, not able to give STABLE and continious/on going "power".

I know U are running watercooled based system.
Will in this case, the chipset be cooled enough

On the other side, even decreasing the fsb to 210/215, finaly it will only take some minutes over 2:30 or so, so the "gain" with higher speed is "relative"

Do you remeber the good old day at LHC? There where we discovered, to much OC systems returning bad or 0 validated results? It looks like, here at seti this issue is not so important.

BTW what a your time with seti?

*MY* 3.2 Prescotties are about 2.20-+ (with kingston low speed DDR)
and 2:45-+ with regular apacer DDR

both are running at speed 3519, fsb 220 AND stable. For LHC they have to downclocked to 3380 or even less.

In your profil your are talking in french.

Your german doesn't looks like done by nativ spoken German, IMO

Alhors, excuser-mois pour ma grammer miserable, mais il me semble pas nessesaire, d'offrire un francais parfait pour passer le message.

Nous tous avons des moment faibles et la confience dans le project de BOINC,(est come il est gerer) c'éloingne. Mais c'est dans nôtre esprit que cela ce passe.
Tu as surement vus, il font de leurs mieux, en tout cas, ils essayent. (ils=berkeley)

Cela ne dit pas, qu'ils font leurs mieux dans tes eyes.
Tu sais ce son des people d'une universitaire, cel an'est pas la vis réelle.
Il y a exactement 2 chemain à prendre:

- rester et axepter la façon comme cela ce pass aujourd'hui
- ou quitter.

Riens d'autres:-(

Comme on n'as pas grands le chois, il faut si mettre et garder une distance et pas trop au sévère. Il y a bien plus de problème plus graves dans la vi.

Heureusement boinc n'est pas limiter a "Seti only", LHC, si ils ont du travails et les pirates peuvent donner aussi beaucoup de plésire et du fun.

C'est à tois de gerer la puissence de tes ordinateur...

Fais une pause et reviens voire si tu n'as pas perdu le gut de SETI

A bientôt
