The initial time estimates were a bit high.
----------------------------------------Results so far: 4 back in 1.8 or less. 3 back in 1.9 or less. It looks like the new version is very close to 2x faster. That's good news. |

We did see a speed up of up to 3x on some machines in alpha. But a 2x increase is always good :) Once we get into production we'll be able to compare the runtime to the average right now of about 5.5 hours per work unit. That'll be the best way to get what the speed up actually is :)
Thanks again to everyone for their help on the BETA! -Uplinger |

all 7 of mine are running well (approx 1-2 hours to go depending on which rig I look at). Will give the DDT2 a test since it suspended DDT2 Wus to work on the Betas. Lee Ann, If your agent runs with "Leave Application in Memory..." set to ON as I recommend your interrupted DDDT2 will not go back to their latest checkpoint, so it will not be an extra test. But I think this is a problem of the past according to the latest DDDT2 beta tests. Thank you for your reporting. Jean. |

RE: HCC - Checkpointing appears to be working. I rebooted the system on two WUs, one lost .5%, one lost 1%, but they both resumed. I'll let you know if they complete properly.
----------------------------------------The show graphics button brings up the screensaver window but only the ticker and the logo show, there is no other graphic. Thanks for the new distribution system. It's spread the WUs out nicely. Edit: I see I got a Beta on my PIII with Debian, that should be an interesting test. A normal HCC runs for five days, we'll see how quick the Beta is.

KWSN - A Shrubbery,
I bring you another shrubbery :) The screen saver by default in beta limits what is shown. Glad to hear they were pretty close on reboot of the checkpoint. -Uplinger |

I have already returned 2 in 1.11 and 1.07 hour on a Q6600 at 3.16 GHz.
----------------------------------------The last time I recorded times for HCC the average was 3.20 hours but the quad was still running at 2.88 GHz, more or less equivalent to 2.92 hours at my current speed. So for me this is almost 3 times faster, which is not surprising since this is under Ubuntu 64 which had the infamous huge soft page fault problem and this problem has disappeared now! I have checked with a 3rd beta which is still runnng and that's great, folks! Good job. |

I don't leave WUs in memory on any of the rigs except the Celeron - they all get used at some point or other in the week on some memory intensive tasks. The Celeron is a cruncher only, but didn't get a Beta, tho it would have been a good test. The 2 WU's (just switched from Rice WUs only) ran 11 and 26 hours and the one in progress now is going to run close to 8 hours. |

I've gotten 4 Betas so far on two different machines,
3 of them are reported already, 2 of those are validated. They ran concurrently with DDDT2 and HCMD2 units. The HCC betas ran really significantly quicker than before. Looks like a winner. BTW: In the post topic and in this posting by uplinger we can read "HCC1". Does that mean that also a HCC2 my appear in the further project planning? |
