Been running it on 10 PCs with Vista Business or Ultimate for over a month now - no problems.

Hi everybody !

One member in my team have à little problem with the Agent UD.

He's on vista Home Premium.

The processeur is a Pentium M 1.73 Ghz.

The agent UD recognize this processeur like a 0.8 Ghz.

For more informations, see under :



Thanks for him.

(link of the first discussion, in french)

Was totally unaware that the Throttle Tool would make the CPU reading change.... always thought it was hidden in the science part, whereas the benchmarking is done purely from the UD.exe agent (?)

Question here is: Did he run UD under a previous version of windows and have the same issue?

Reading the French thread ".... Vu que c'est un pentium M, je suppose que le 800MHz correspond à la basse fréquence.
Vive le Speedstep et Vista......", is it a laptop..... that does reduce the actual CPU hertz. Laptop CPU's in particular if getting too hot will slow down. The Throttle of WCG only takes part of the available cycles, thus some experimentation needs to take place what the best % is to keep the CPU at 1.73ghz.

There's mention in that thread of running on battery, but dont think one is able to force UD agent to run on battery at all (?). I dont think the member advanced to that stage.

Much questions or UD does misidentify the CPU.

BOINC on the other hand has been under continuous development and with Vista in mind of recent, so you/he might want to try that. BOINC can be forced to run on battery, but that does not stop the CPU from slowing down unless forced to remain at maximum performance.

First, thanks all for your answer.



Yes, he was on Windows Xp before, and there were no problems. (UD recognized it's processor with 1.73ghz).



It's computer it's not hot, he doesnt measure the temperature, but he told me that it's computer was near cold ;) (i think about 50°C)



On the picture given upper, you can read in french, that it's laptop was on charge not on battery. When he turn its laptop on battery the agent snooze like normal.

I use BOinc on my own laptop with Vista, and i have no problem. But the question it's not for me.

For me, there is a little probleme with the Agent UD on Vista wich don't recognize well the CPU.

Maybe i'm wrong ...



I already know the limitation by default of the agent. But i ever know that it don't disturb the benchmark (the benchmark is not affected by this programm).
