Am I the only one whose CEP2 WUs upload have suddenly dropped in size by half? No errors, invalids, or inconclusive. Have had quite a.few (20+) that r finishing quick and uploading 15 mb compared to 33-36 mb recently. Just curious.
Running Linux, and there was an update recently, but I've had several others on a Windows rig do the same. I've checked the results, and nothing is out of the ordinary (no premature exits). |

Sometimes there are some batches that are much quicker.
----------------------------------------It has something to do about the molecules being smaller thus needing less CPU time. That being said, it's normal.  - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

Thx for the reply. For some reason I didn't even consider smaller molecules. Lol
Crunching on... |

Out of interest how long did your 20+ tasks run for & how many Jobs from the tasks were completed?

5pot,
----------------------------------------that's all easily explained. Have a look at the names of the tasks you're currently crunching. Some of mine were E205679_292_C.19.C14H8N2OSSe.01423013.4.set1d06_0 E205678_999_C.20.C14H8N4S2.01405105.0.set1d06_0 E205687_139_C.20.C16H9NOS2.01364512.0.set1d06_0 The part marked in bold is what's -- more or less -- signifying the size of the work unit. Only a few days ago that number was at around 31 or 32. So, for the first time I'm seeing CEP2 jobs do a complete run and finish in a lot less than 12 hours. So, no worries   |

How do you read the bold numbering, as in how dose it determine job run time? Not in absolute terms. It's just an indication of the molecule size as Falconet explained above. And smaller molecules will in all probability result in shorter run times. |

If I'd plot the curve over a longer period, you'd see this gradual increases, then a fall and a resume of the slow rise... in fact, the new computer that runs the charts is much more powerful, so lengthened the charts from last 3 months to last 6 months for the occasion. [looks a bit crammed though]. The mean times actually started falling right around when switching from quorum 2 to Zero Redundancy... possibly quite a few slower machines got off the bandwagon at that time [wild guess]. --//-- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 5, 2012 10:30:37 AM] |

Speedy51,
I'm averaging 115-130 right now which is about an hour less than usual for my quickest machine. |
