Does the client make use of the 64-bit computers? Is there a plan to make a 64-bit computers? And lastly does WCG support dual core CPU's?
sorry to ask so much I'm just curious. |

Does the client make use of the 64-bit computers? ...Not now.Is there a plan to make a 64-bit computers? ...Not yet.And lastly does WCG support dual core CPU's? ...if you use the BOINC version.This other thread in the suggestion area impl...f the floating point unit ... (pssst. AMD machines work well already on this stuff)

I haveone x64 working on WCG and Boinc it does 2 units at a time pretty good--the P4-3.0 2for Boinc and 1 for WCG HT EDIT--Yes as RT said you need more memory--the P4 has 2 gigs x64 1 gig

Information in addition to that above:
----------------------------------------In BOINC you can set the number of CPUs that you can use. With the UD agent, any machine will run only one Work Unit at a time regardless of how many CPUs it has. In BOINC, a P4 HT machine will run 2 units simultaneously if your profile is set correctly. This will let you get a bit more that 100% of your CPU (since HT is active). Also in BOINC if you have a dual core machine (AMD or Intel) and set the profile correctly you can run 2 WUs at about the same elapsed time as one. Cautionary note: If you intend to run more than one WU at a time, you will need more main memory. I personally would not run more than one work unit at a time with less that 512Meg of Memory in situations where the machine is used for other things (i.e. it is not a "stand-alone" WCG cruncher), although others do. Hope this helps. Regards |
