Over the last week I have run CEP2 on a Quad Core Q6600 24/7. I have a mere 8 days 20h Run Time (Project Stats) to show for it.
----------------------------------------CPU Usage is visibly high, but the Properties of the running tasks show between 1/3 and 1/4 the CPU time as runtime. This is clearly wrong. I have a GPU in the system, which uses 1 CPU core, so I should be getting 3 days worth of Run Time each day. Even when I suspend the GPU tasks, the reported CPU task time says at 1/3 to 1/4 of the runtime. I have 20 tasks in PV and 90 valid. I think I should have 17 days of Run Time, not half that! I am also getting relatively low credit.

Something is likely not right with your system or set-up if 66-75% of the time is lost. We know BOINC won't log certain cycles towards the reported CPU time [kernel time, large amounts of page faulting, any delta thereof, disk i/o), but if eventually the cram becomes extreme and the swapping turns into a battle, then that lost time could get big.

On the quick the most is 39 minutes on a task. PS: Was it running off a Linux USB stick with the swapfile on there? Could be half the issue. Think you can tell Linux where to set up the VM partition. edit: added the PF Delta as a lost time function.

how can you tell where the swap file is and how do you move it?

I'm booting to FatDog64 from a CD (its handy for multi booting). Although I have it set to store a profile locally on a hard drive, this just allows me to restart (I did once, to test it worked but not since). Essentially everything loads into RAM and runs from RAM, so Max Disk Usage is 0.00GB. It is a lite version of Linux, <1GB, and the system has 4GB RAM. When I checked it still had 1GB RAM free. The disk drive has 80GB free (but it is only used to save a profile on shutdown/restart).
I ran some Docking tasks and observed similar but not identical findings, Docking tasks also reported using less CPU time than Run Time, but the difference was reduced. So I am not quite sure if this is entirely Boinc (6.10.56)/system related, or also partially task dependant. I will run some HCC tasks to see how they get on. I noticed a drop in CPU usage when communicating (uploading a task). This is probably just down to the driver, and although 10MB files are large; each and would take a minute or two to upload, the issue cant entirely be attributable to time taken to upload files (20min CPU downtime a day is well short of what I am seeing). I'm wondering if the CPU runtime discrepancy is a consequence of using the cc_config command, <alt_platform>i686-pc-linux-gnu<alt_platform> Perhaps this is a situation where several minor issues are cumulating to appear as one big issue. I think that if I run a GPU task, and leave one CPU core free for it (just using 3 Cores for WCG) the time delta is reduced slightly; CPU Time and Run Time are closer together. With the GPU off, 4 CPU cores perform about the same as if 3 were used anyway! We are about 10 days from being able to crunch CEP2 tasks on Windows, so this is not particularly important, unless it effects many others. Should I want Linux on a system again, I can always try a different one, but is can be difficult finding versions that reliably run GPU apps. |

There's definitely something screwy going on with these. I'm running Fedora 13 x86 on an Athlon X2 4400+, from a hard disk (not USB or in a VM). The CPU time and elapsed time are off by quite a bit.

Similar observation on my PC - E6300 dual core, 2 Gig ram, running Knoppix 6.2 from a memory stick, but running BOINC on the hard disk, no swap.
----------------------------------------The 2 jobs currently running show: 7:41 wallclock time and 4:35 processor time, and 6:55 wallclock time and 4:38 processor time Nothing else running on the machine. When I run any other project the difference is usually a couple of minutes. With CEP2 I get only less than 2/3 of the time as CPU time. Regards, Martin  |

Could you provide the output of 'uname -a' and 'mpstat -P ALL'? Edit: Changed mpstat-command to shorten output [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 8, 2010 7:38:23 AM] |

I found project dependent variation between CPU Time and Run Time,
----------------------------------------Docking 9% difference HCC 28% CEP2 42%  uname -a Linux puppypc 2.6.34 #1 SMP Thu May 20... x86_64 GNU/Linux Another day on and another days credit! 9days, 22h - my quad's been quartered [Edit 2 times, last edit by skgiven at Jul 8, 2010 11:16:09 AM] |

my findings are like "skgiven" running a q9550 putting it on 3 cores instead of 4 really brings the two alot closer.

Many a time suggested before to reduce bottlenecking: Run a mix. I've been doing that for several days now, current selection HPF2/CEP2/HCMD2. My stats including the PV jail for these days suggest >3.6 days return for my quad.
