Well, the first of my 4 WU's has just completed - after doing 71 checkpoints over a 3:24:29 timespan (total timespan = 4:30:47), and creating 1 upload file of 225.54K.

I had some machines asking at the right time, but the only one which received one was an ancient P2. :)
At 20% through, the memory use is 116MB. |

Strange little beasties never seen behaviour like this before on Boincview.CPU usage dropping to 0% while at the same time estimated speed jumps to 5.5gflops(impossible number) However they appear to complete fine.

Was in full REM state when this got off

[ot]Not thought BV was used anymore... most have moved to the maintained BOINCTasks... uses much less CPU too. The latest has been adapted to better run in Linux and Mac virtual environments too[/ot] --//-- |

This morning I noticed I got 5, but looking to the results I saw I returned already 7.
---------------------------------------- Runtimes 2.66 - 4.16. The 71 checkpoints is because 1 task has 72 jobs inside with duration from 2 up to 7 minutes. For every job a new process is started with the advantage that allocated memory of the finished job is freed. [ot]BV still on my system and only rarely used to see 'live' increase/decrease the debts[/ot]  |

1 of 2 done/valid 7.46 hrs on a single core P4 @ 2.59 GHz, 1 gig ram, npn (no problems noted)

I'm still busy with 4 on my slowest quad (2.1GHz).
----------------------------------------Tasks will end with runtimes from 5 up to 6½ hours. Because 1 task has 72 jobs/processes not sure what's the maximum memory usage. Random picking I noticed 80-138MB memory usage. [vot]The showed debts in BT were wrong. It looks like Fred fixed that too in v1.13[/vot] [Edit 2 times, last edit by Crystal Pellet at Jul 23, 2011 9:53:08 AM] |

On an i7-920 XPx86 these tasks took around 4h (3.72 to 4.86),
On an i7-2600K Ubuntu-x64 these tasks took around 1.5h (1.29 to 1.66). I’m guessing we are seeing x64 and code improvement on Ubuntu; clock per clock Ubuntu-x64 is about twice as fast. Pity I didn't get any for my i7-2600 on Win-x64. Anyone? |
