It is really no big deal to me but I have also noticed that I get really close credit with HPF2 but with HCC I am consistently significantly short.

It is just as well I don't get too many if my machine is inefficient on them  Cheers

Sgt, it's beyond my comprehension why a HCC job runs as long as HPF2 jobs taking 18-19 hours, where's HPF2 is meant to run 1.5-2 times longer as a HCC job. The going rate for HCC however fast you do them is about 70-90 credit (because they do vary in run time lengths, but not like HPF2), so 127 is clearly in the raised eyebrow zone
----------------------------------------Any other intense processes running.... or are you running dual threads on a P4HT?

No dual threads. Nothing particularly processor intense of which I am aware.
----------------------------------------Processor: 1 AuthenticAMD AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ [x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 1] Memory: 479.49 MB physical, 1.10 GB virtual It may be due to some other piece of the architecture. My guess would be a bottleneck in something hardware related which affects HCC more than HPF2. I am thinking perhaps memory bound because I only have 512 mb on board and some is used elswhere. I'll just keep an eye on it and maybe something apparent will show itself in the future. If 70's range is appropriate then so be it. (edit) Sekerob is correct - see next post. The memory footprint is small, it is not the constraining factor. Cheers

Did not bring up the memory constraint item simply because it's by far the smallest in all aspects.

It's beyond my comprehension that it's beyond your comprehension. :) My HCC jobs take about the same time or longer than HPF2 jobs. The weirdest one actually gave me more points than claimed, even though I was the high claimer! X0000044751499200501111352_ 1-- Valid 04/11/2008 14:06:29 04/12/2008 20:09:34 27.61 102.1 / 104.1 |

This is where in fact both are claiming a none standard amount and the historic averaging kicks in. You then see a grant which is either higher of the 2, in the middle, OR even lower than the 2. Someone posted a sample somewhere.
----------------------------------------What CPU/OS/RAM size combo is this. HCC is smalL, but image processing. On all my machines they run considerably shorter than HPF2. The last quad series 5-5.5 hours, and about 8.3 for HPF2. [Added:The projects did an average yesterday of 7:07 for HCC and 10:11 for HPF2 to compare.]

You then see a grant which is either higher of the 2 Higher of the 2 I've often seen. I've never before seen higher than either claim. What CPU/OS/RAM size combo is this. Dual P3/866/Linux/512MB. |

Suppose Ozzie English does differentiate between 'higher of' and 'highest of' or :?

No, highest (or higher) of 30.1 and 102.1 would be 102.1 either way. It wouldn't be 104.1.
