Earlier I have reported my first 2 beta HCCs at 1.11 and 1.07 hour on my Q6600 at 3.16 GHz.
----------------------------------------Since then I have received 20 others (but never more than 4 together in the client) and the first ones were almost the slowest ones: CPU runtimes for these 22 WUs are spread as follows: 1,24 1,11 1,07 1,07 1,06 0,90 0,84 0,83 0,82 0,81 0,81 0,81 0,80 0,80 0,79 0,79 0,78 0,78 0,77 0,77 0,77 0,76 Amazing! |

My Gulftown ES with 6GB RAM and running Win7 x64 has been pulling in these Beta's all day and yet my Westmere ES with 3GB RAM running XP 32 bit only drew 2 earlier today and can't seem to get anymore....strange! They're running really well though, averaging about 1.75 hours on my Gulftown an 4200MHz.
----------------------------------------EDIT: guess I spoke too soon, the Westmere just downloaded 4 more Betas...lol!  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Mar 24, 2010 2:30:39 AM] |

Is there a plan to test old vs new methods for consistency?
64 Million in would be a bad time to change methods and get irregularities. Could one copy get the old version and the other the new version over a set of a few thousand? I am assuming the output is pretty much equivalent. |

TimAndHedy,
We have done this on our alpha grid. The results match exactly, so what we are going to do it is release the application instantly, some work units will be run on both the old and the new. So the transition between the two applications will not be noticed (other than runtime). -Uplinger |

Got a few more of these now 61 hour DDDT2- C types [was 84 hours that really do 45 minutes like clockwork :>) Looks familiar. I didn't get any betas until an hour ago, because the exaggerated return times on the DDDT2's meant my machines weren't asking for any more WUs for long periods. |

Makes sense. Takes longer but you don't have to write any code to do it. Just manually compare at the end.

The average runtime of my 90 returned tasks 2½ hours.
----------------------------------------Used systems: 1 Single core Win32 @ 1.5GHz average 4.01 hours 1 Dual core Linux64 @ 2.26 GHz average 1.18 hours !!?? 1 Quad Win64 @ 2.05 GHz average 3.86 hours 1 Quad Win64 @ 2.5 GHz average 2.20 hours 2 Quads Win64 @ 2.8 GHz average 2.68 hours Conclusion ??: Linux64 much faster ?? - btw @ Uplinger: can you notify the backroom that there are still (very) old BETA results of the aborted January Beta run in the database. Some workunit ID's: 124951362, 124951262, 124951142.  |
