1) Message boards : Number crunching : A challenge of December 2021 (Message 1430) Posted 28 Dec 2021 by csbyseti Post: The short running workig units seem to overload the upload and download capacity of your server(s). WUs are getting stuck on my machines during up- an download. This occured during the last race too. Solution in november was going back to the 7 h WUs :-) Perhaps they have increased Network and Disk speed 10 times since last overload. And many people in this race don't crunch the short Wu's actual because they have for two more days the long Wu's, So the peak in Up / Download will come in two days.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Point Drop per Work Unit. (Message 1216) Posted 20 Sep 2021 by csbyseti Post: First, sorry for my not nice word in the open line of my post but this expresses really good what im am thinking about the credit system at this moment of typing. As psschoefer knows, i am a Boinc User for a really long time. So i got some experience in that area. "looks like Intel has paid for this credit system." should be a joke because all slower CPU's got more Credit for at last the same WU. I compared only my Boinc only systems which do nothing else. Even my 3900X have nearly a constant Frequency if they run only one sort of computation. I agree that a fixed credit system for the same Group of workunits would be the best solution for this Projekt. Even if the runtime differs 100% in a group it will be ok. Perhaps it would be a good idea to create a team badge for participating in this event. Thanks to hoarfrost that he is working on the problems
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Point Drop per Work Unit. (Message 1204) Posted 18 Sep 2021 by csbyseti Post: The whole Credit System of Sidock is bullshit 1. the difference of workunits in the same group does not reflect any calculation time. 2. the credits for the short ~30 min runtime WU can be higher than for the long 6 hour runtime WU. 3. if i calculate the Number of threads of my 5820k CPU running 11 Threads up to the 23 Threads of my 3900x = doubling the Rac of the 5820k i'll see a leadership of the 5820k of about 15% but the 5820k has more WU's in pending. It's not the Pending ! But the calculation time of the 5820k is ~9hour for the long WU's instead of ~6 hours of the 3900X So the Number of Results is much higher with the 3900X The rac of the 3900x should be min 33% higher and not 15% lower. It could not be that a much faster and much more energy efficient CPU get lower Credits for a better work. looks like Intel has paid for this credit system. https://www.sidock.si/sidock/hosts_user.php?userid=2582 greeting csbyseti
