Hmmm...
Hey Sekerob, Adywebb... Downloaded Beta this morning, and the effects range across the board...currently running hpf2_rosetta at a cool 27 degrees C, with an average 80% CPU utilization rate, at 69.2MB ram usage. AMD Duron 1.6Gig w/ VIA Apollo KT266A chipset on a PCChips M811 board. I only put all that out because I am experiencing across the board improvement in all areas, on projects outside the purview of the fix. Can't wait to receive an HCC task. System is XPSP2, fully patched, with IE7.   |

Okie dokie!
Am monitoring closely. One thing I notice that's different is how large a work unit I have for HPF2. My system is fairly up to date, but is still a below 2Gig single core model. It is currently 7 hours into a 19 hour monster work unit. CPU temp is high at 55 degrees C, but that always happens somewhere in any of the projects work on my little gem. I will post here regularly until test complete.  |

I'm rather 'intrigued' (for lack of a better word in my vocabulary) with the Temp variation observation of easy jobs running at 100% versus complex jobs also running 100% (with lots of Page Faults and kernel time). The only time I've ever observed this is with QMC heavies. Use Speedfan, set a target temp and it will virtually always hover at a steady temperature. The best crunching environment. HPF2 has it fair share of PF (on P4HT) versus new HCC 5.20 having few in comparison.

I know what your saying, and your right ! I am technologically challenged in the cooling department, and will follow your advice. I input it just because I am watching it, and it happened to be a neat sort of parameter, for me at least. Because I knew I had to watch it, until I remedy it!!!

I'm going back to bed, Sek! It's 5AM here, though I imagine it's lunchtime in Italy! Cheers!

All is well...
Running FAaH2 with no problems. I do notice more memory utilization than previous BOINC version. Uses 128MB now while crunching. Previously it was 98MB. All else nominal. No hangs, no freezes, no complaints. I like points reported on HPF2 unit finished a few hours ago. It is a little higher than avg. on previous BOINC version. I don't pay much attention to PF's, as they were not my major complaint... |

One curious note... HPF2 extended from an original 17 hours to over 23. Why? Another andraxian noted this, and they are running dual core. That is a glitch, isn't it? How serious. It was they last HPF2 unit I did. Another coming, scheduled for 9 hours...

Hello 7cures,
Here is the thread (in the HPF Forum) about longer HPF2 work units: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=18589 Lawrence |

Hello Lawrence!
Thank you. Currently running lo565, due 3/15. Should have looked at the due date! In that case, I must say this BOINC version looks good. nominal.How many orbits are we cleared for, Houston!?  |
