@ Wicksman That new laptop certainly seems to be doing the business!  Alas, I do not have my new laptop yet. However, what I do have is a temporary farm of 4 Acer machines all with I5 processors however I only have these until monday :( Here's to the next 3 days :D No matter the source it's all welcome. You logged 0:014:10:52:31 in the lunchtime update which suggests the UK team could post another Alltime Runtime record today! |

Just glad my test area has air conditioning!
Those babies are running hot. |

If no money changes then perhaps they'd agree to having WCG running in the background? Just to test the efficacy of your work of course. You have no idea how many times I've suggested that, no one seems interested, they all remark what a fantastic idea it is until I suggest them joining.... The dust they kick up can be seen for miles    |

RT Increase: Ian_UK 6.8 Didnt think I'd keep any increase quiet Jonnieb.  Since finding I could run my work laptop (old core 2 dual without GPU capability) with a Ubuntu BOINC installation from CD at home (cannot run it from work) its now adding about 18hrs daily Mon-Fri and 48hrs Sat/Sun to totals (and a bit to points total). At the moment I'm unclear as to what running multiple GPU units has done to my RT on 24/7 PC (i7 Quad core); suspect CPU time has increased based on looking at what CPU and Elapsed time say (Although running 8 units at time on single GPU with 2 CPUs, believe total more than for 2 CPUs...). Part of my problem working RT out, is that my Pending Validation widely varies ...though is generally growing (17 pages at moment... Was 21 this morning...Last month was 4). Hopefully this means should average more RT. Look forward to later Stats .... ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Ian_UK at Feb 8, 2013 7:52:36 PM] |

Part of my problem working RT out., I don't have enough experience running multiple GPUs to comment perhaps TMC or one of the other big hitters will comment. But regarding RT in general I can recommend WCGDAWS - WCGDeviceAndWorkunitStats - which is a very nifty utility for keeping track of whats happening and where, "It should help take some of the hassle out gathering the data and doing the calculations for some of the basic stats related to devices, workunits, and projects, like average claimed and granted, points per hour, etc.." Full details and download link in this thread. |

I can recommend WCGDAWS Many thanks, looks like a good tool  . Currently claiming avg 130.6 points per hour for each GPU unit.... GPU currently claiming between 46.2 PPH up to 1972.5 PPH per unit! Only AVG 27.76 for C4CW (and little variation) |

So I've been playing with the GPU xls file but at least with my Nvidia card when going from 1gpu+1cpu to 0.333GPU+1CPU over a ten hour run I gain 8 HCC WUs. But it was also using 2 more CPUs which would have lost about 8 CPU WUs... So it appears to have 0 gain effect on increasing WUs completed.

0 gain effect on increasing WUs completed Maugan, Believe I'm using a similar GPU to yourself. CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 680M (driver version 310.90, CUDA version 5.0, compute capability 3.0, 2048MB, 1960MB available, 2038 GFLOPS peak) For comparison I'm averaging returning a HCC unit every 11 minutes over 24hour period, with setting of 0.25 CPUs and 0.125 GPUs. |

Apologies for the lack of forum-posts recently, but I've only got back from staying with family for a few days, earlier today.
----------------------------------------My Nan passed away 2 weeks ago last Wednesday, and it was her funeral & wake on the Wednesday just gone. It's not been an easy few weeks, but in a way, I think she would have very much approved of the service, especially the eulogy read out by the vicar (who had been a friend of hers for 75-ish years). Unfortunately, we currently have no cure for old age - she was 87 years old, she said herself that she'd had a good innings, and she'd done everything she wanted to in life (the last thing on the list was to hold a great-grandchild, and my now-9-months-old niece fulfilled that wish for her).  |
