Re: Linux Only Beta Test
One thing I noticed: These Betas have a very low Wallclock/CPU time ratio. On my two Debian 5 machines it's 60% (one even 15%). The Normal (other Beta work and normal WCG work) value is about 99% !
I changed nothing on my system or in the BOINC preferences, and the other WCG tasks still run with 99% ratio.


On my ubuntu 10.04 it's a similar ratio.

Re: Linux Only Beta Test
On the 8:00 hour cut-off topic, just saw a wingman with that and an interesting end suggesting that the last job is not really allowed to finish, lest I'm misreading?

comments requested from armstrdj et al, pretty plz.

I would agree with your assessment. Mine finished completely in 7.62 hours. Here's one from a wingman:

Re: Linux Only Beta Test
How we got from 20k to 22k results... the initial -131 and 195 error replacements maybe?
Clearly, brain check plus insufficient re-reading (the good number is in the quote opening my post!). laughing

hmmm, my LLL 10.04 64 bit quad with up to 4 concurrent CEP2 Beta tasks logs from a Windows client running BOINCTasks about 95-97% efficiency. Effective RAM use allowed is 3GB. According the TOP command the processes run at nice 19 and getting 100% most of the time. And of course the run while in use option is on, CPU time setting 100% and running the 6.10.17 kit as provided by the Synaptic Package Manager, 64 bit too.

Re: Linux Only Beta Test
It works in a way similar to HCMD2.
The WU you're working on will either finish completely or will be returned @ the 8:00 mark. That's part of the test.
Presumably, the unfinished portion will be sent out again, to be completed by another cruncher.

No kidding.
I don't know about anyone else, but it seems to me like there are going to be quite a few higher level beta badges after this is all said and done. biggrin
Another few days like the past few, and I might make it to ruby. shhh
