From the CEP scientist in the "Clean Energy project: Welcome all!" thread: About the length of the workunits, the IBM and Harvard teams are deteminng the scaling of different setups and hopefully soon the WUs will be more uniform. Thanks for crunching! Let's hope so! I just got my first wu, though it hasn't started calculating. Estimated time is 43:43:56. Should start in about 3 hrs. I'll report back on the actual time as it is either running or upon completion. Good day to all...  Job ran to a valid completion in 4 hrs 42 minutes! Now that's a whole bunch better than the original estimate of 43+ hours.  "Everything in moderation, including moderation" -- Mark Twain |

...now getting ones with estimated times of 87+ hours!!!! It seems to be getting a bit ridiculous

...now getting ones with estimated times of 87+ hours!!!! It seems to be getting a bit ridiculous Strange. Since yesterday around 17 UTC I am getting shorter ones (about half the size) but with a 7-day deadline. I would like knreed to comment on this. Is it definitive or just some kind of test? Cheers. Jean. |

or something more technical. Saw one on XP running into half a billion PF and 2 minutes kernel time on XP after 22 hours. Quite different from the beta.
----------------------------------------Just looked on Vista, after 8:30 hours, 200 million PF, 14 minutes kernel time, Delta 7-8k per second. Credits seen so far are close to claim suggesting a mostly across the board consistent running on what I estimate to be the 2 predominant OSses used of Windows, Vista and XP.

Quite different from the beta. What do you mean? Half a billion PF for 22 hours that's a PF rate of 6.3 k and my betas on XP were all between 4 and 8 k. And the production ones are still in this range, whether the older longer jobs or the shorter new ones. By the way I was wondering until this morning why the P4 is showing much lower PF rates than the quad? When, at last, I realized that it is simply not fast enough to do more.  Cheers. Jean. |

Would i have written this seeming wit invoking comment?
----------------------------------------Fairly sure I wrote about seeing just a few million PF, little delta and just few seconds of kernel time in beta. That's the difference and I think more have observed this.

they seem to be different.. ive gotten 3 different types of clean energy projects.. 2 have taking 12+ hours on my athlon x2 6400+ and 2 have taken under 10 hours on my athlon x2 be-2350@ 2.94ghz and i accidently forgot to take the clean energy one off for my pentium M 1.7 ghz laptop which took 33 hours.. so i think it really depends on which version you get..

Fairly sure I wrote about seeing just a few million PF, little delta and just few seconds of kernel time in beta. That's the difference and I think more have observed this. Sure you did, and I have got one too at the very beginning of the tests. But they were what we called E000007 WUs at this time, before Kevin explains us about types A, B and C. And E000007 WUs were type-C. Regarding type-A ones every time I looked at them they were consistently "PFing" at the 4K-8K rate. Too bad that we had not more of the other types to test. By the way, has anyone ever seen a type-B beta? Cheers. Jean. |

Thought to have seen 1 report so far of B type in production.
----------------------------------------Had according the BOINView filter A, B & C of 007 and 370 series in beta. None showed this particularly high kernel time. All had substantially lower delta. PF's themselves don't bother me too much, but 15 minutes kernel after 8 hours / 40% on Vista is considerable, my view.
