Darth Vader I am currently working toward 10 years on HCC though just at 5 years. The points per hour are probably less then DDDT2 but I have run times of just over 2:12 hours per unit on my fastest machines. What are you finding with DDDT2 for run times? With your machines if you ran HCC on linux you would be under and hour I am sure. I have a 3.4gz P4 on linux and it runs HCC around 2:15, si know your high powered jobs would do much better. Cheers Hi Sgt. Joe. Thanks for dropping by once again. - D |

We had a really nice day here in the DFW area yesterday. Another is on tap for today so, like yesterday, I will be busy outside all day. Things are going good here...hopefully the same is true in your neck of the woods.
---------------------------------------- Good Morning Team |

Hi, I finally decided to emerge from the shadows and introduce myself as i have kept an eye on the conversation and stats pretty often for some time.
I have been crunching for quite some time with various computers. Now I'm using two AMD Phenom II x4 965 desktops, which i had at the end of last year. They both have identical key components (motherboard, CPU, memory) but one is running win7 and another one Ubuntu 10.10. I'm also crushing with two dual core laptops which are actually used for work but it seems such a waste not to use their processors. |

I was wondering, you have two identical machines with different operating systems. It got me curious. Do you run the same WCG Science project on both? If you do, do you compare the throughput? Where are you located? USA? |

I was wondering, you have two identical machines with different operating systems. It got me curious. Do you run the same WCG Science project on both? If you do, do you compare the throughput? Where are you located? USA? I'm from Finland. Well yes i run same projects on both but as they are both running pretty much everything and the linux one seems to get mainly tasks from clean energy project and the windows one more evenly from everything it is not 100% sure but there is quite a big difference with their points so far. Win7 0:263:09:46:03 958,151 1,663 Linux 0:256:22:25:38 1,198,714 1,750 The linux is used for television, recordings (both with vdr) and watching dvds (like that would really require four cores), but is nice that i can transcode dvd into high quality h.264 movie in just an hour. There is also apache web server running on this. The win7 is mainly used by my wife for email, word and photo indexing/sorting so it should be under lighter use as it just idles for most of time. But sure i could set them both to same wcg project and see how big difference there is. Any ideas on which project would work the best? |

It's always great to get another perspective on things, especially from outside the US. Twelve cores explains the impressive results you put up.  I've always found it a real challenge to get one of my machines busy enough that BOINC slows me down any so I always have it running. Well, I do pause it when I'm defragging but that's more out of an abundance of caution than anything. |

It runs out of processor power when i put mysql database to it and load it with a several gigabytes of data (well run time for some queries was over 24 hours). I have also managed to get excel to calculate formulas for over an hour, but i agree that under normal circumstances there is no way to notice that boinc is even running. It is also shame that I'm not director (yet?) as the company I work for has around 60 servers and 2000 laptops. It's such a huge amount of wasted cores at least on laptops. |
