Astropulse Errors II-Optimized version 5.03!
(Message 876353)
Posted 17 Mar 2009 by speedimic Post: Got a bunch of errors on this host. AK SSE2 works well but the latest AP SSE2 obviously doesn't. PS: don't wait for the "in progess" Wu - that one got lost somewhere... |

Credits for Astropulse
(Message 874998)
Posted 12 Mar 2009 by speedimic Post: So for example, if someone cared about the RAC (which I do not), they would if indeed taking longer, benefit from running AP_5 to get a higher RAC as credits granted are higher than Enhanced with an optimized app? ...at least if don't use CUDA. I run r112 which on my rig (core2duo 2.13gHz) and it takes about 40 hours to process an ap_v5 5.03 workunit, however credit is near 1216 per unit. Overall RAC would increase a lot over time given the extra credits? Correct me someone if I have misunderstood. Right. I see it as a compensation for cpu-crunching. ;) |

AP Completion Times
(Message 873848)
Posted 8 Mar 2009 by speedimic Post: I had everything between 44.000sec and 60.000sec on my quads with the optimized app. Since AP now pays very well, I decided to leave MB to the cuda folks. :P |

Posted 3 Feb 2009 by speedimic Post: I'm not quite sure if it's good to make the APs even longer. Many of those are already aborted because they take much longer than the 'usual' WUs. As a consequence it takes ages to get two valid results together (and 'pay out'), so RAC is falling and people opt out. Not to mention those half done WUs lingering on the server. Might be better to split bigger MB chunks... |

Posted 11 Jan 2009 by speedimic Post: Yeah, I think the problem is that I felt that I needed to say something informative, educational, funny, interesting and important all at once which made blogging more difficult than it should have been. Eric, looking here and here might be a good occasion for being pontificate... Especially the why (was it released early) and if (it affects science) are of great interest - at least to cool down the rumor mill. |

Posted 23 Dec 2008 by speedimic Post: From the new photo album (last pic): And here are more servers we no longer use. Those Suns at the bottom of each pile were the driving force behind SETI classic (the user database server, the science database server, and the upload/download server). We don't have the heart to just toss this into the salvage bins. Anybody wanna buy any of this stuff before we donate it to the Smithsonian? I think there are a lot of people out there making some good donations for that stuff! Last time that question came up, I can recall being told that the stuff can't be sold because of campus / donation / whatever regulations... Anyway, where can I place my bid? |
