7 Day average is just under 8 hours, but the chart is now several days showing continuous steepish rise, the second increase over that change in October when before it was a real steady 7 hours for longer...you know... we who crunch like to know if it's not something like a P4 Megafarm that hooked up to cause this :)
----------------------------------------Thanks edit: seeing few posts below mention of a longer running result for batch 17650, which is some 100 batches into experiment 35. The FAAH status page reports: This experiment involves faah17,565 - faah20,092. These calculations began 11/26/2010

hmm, so it is not ok if me and my friends go and hook up 500 P1 systems to WCG?

Doh
 Forgot I left my 1.6 GHz PPC Mac running and it's taking ~30 hours to crunch FAAH WU's?  |

anhhai, if they run 24/7, it's fine with the 10 day deadline, but do P1's have 128MB minimum RAM and the instruction set to even process FAAH? Thought the lowest possible for a limited set of WCG projects was P2 (Kremmen runs them out in Australia). The P4 analogy was meant as maybe being the source of the increased average run times, or alternately a shift of the more powerful devices hooking up to run CEP2? No one has posted to note it from personal observation, so it is seemingly something below the event horizon. Just like to learn the low-down on this change.

Not that one personal observation proves anything, but I'm crunching one (17650) that is going on 11 hours. That's definitely above average for this computer ... they're usually closer to 6 hours.

Sekerob, I was just joking around. I can't comment on FAAH. I have stop crunching those and HPF2 for the time being (basically because the others have shorter runway). Will probably start crunching them again after HFCC ends.

I believe the Pentium line(P1) maxed out at 64 mb of memory. Even if they did have the resources to run the jobs, they would take so long it would be a waste of electricity. I had a low end PIII I ran for a while and it was really slow. The slowest machine I ran was an AMD K6 which was fast for its time but pathetic for performance on jobs here. Just my two cents worth.
