Not only am I willing to give up my slice of pie for other crunchers, but I'd like to remind folks that the Serious Crunchers team board is still smapping away and you DON'T have to crunch for us to drivel there. [Tho' it helps]

@ Lighthouse,
I do have 2 HT P4's, both in laptops, but I'm not crunching with any of my Intels currently. Just running the 5 AMD's. I remember reading something once about running 2 jobs simultaneously on an HT chip but, as you found out, it does run each at a slower rate. Makes sense since it is really only one cpu that can be made to more or less simulate 2 to some extent. Don't think I'd want to try it anyway since mine are in laptops and cooling can become a problem when pressing them hard. They labored pretty hard when I used to run the HDC project on them on the ud agent. Fans ran at full speed ALL the time. |

I'm in complete agreement with the laptop part - I tried it once and found the same thing. Perhaps I'll post my question in one of the tech forums.

Thanks, John. Do you have any "HT" cpu's? I have debated if there is any gain by allowing it to run two threads verses one. I know that someone did benchmarking on UD/Cancer and found that the overhead to manage two work units actually resulted in slightly slower total progress. But the BOINC benchmark on one verses two gave me: One CPU: 1498 FP MIPS 2104 INT MIPS Two CPU: 1269 FP MIPS - per CPU 1568 INT MIPS - per CPU So, if I am reading this right, the total benchmark for the HT processor is 2x1269 and 2x1568, which gives larger numbers than the single CPU setting. So, for now, I am allowing it to run two threads. What have you heard concerning BOINC settings on "Hyper-Thread" processors? Actually I have one P4 2.8 that I've run HT on with "Speed Step" enabled and as your Benchmarks indicate I did get considerably improved score . ....as john says ; the #'s don't make sense but it did make a difference   |

Even I've figured out - laptop crunching BAD

You found out the hard way.

Yep. "Kernal core failure" is NOT a thing I want to see again

I think Tubby's zipper may be too tight due to overindulgence  He's just thinking of your pie GP.  |
