Posted 7 Mar 2023 by arcturus Post: The i7 hasn’t completed anywhere near as many tasks as the Ryzens, so its measured processing rate for the new “long tasks” application version is still lagging (4.1 GFLOPS vs. 7.3, at the time of writing). The moving average from which credit is calculated is quite heavily filtered, so it will take several weeks to stabilise. As opposed to stabilization which took under 5 days in your disingenuous apples vs oranges comparison versus the roughly 35 days which has already elapsed (add 2 more weeks according to you) running the newer units due to inherent optimizations either missing or not utilized which reduces the data set? Don't quote me about patience. |

Posted 4 Mar 2023 by arcturus Post: 40 credits an hour seems to be normal across the projects I work. Sometimes better when a new type of task is introduced but there or thereabouts. In looking back at previous work for this project .. before the long work units .. the production with this hardware was considerably more. I would like to ask the developer what has changed, possibly with optimizations, to explain the reduced point awards. Also, I encourage others that have similar hardware to look back using something like boincstats to either confirm or deny what I'm seeing. |

Posted 3 Mar 2023 by arcturus Post: My R9 3900 averages about 40 so that sounds about right. Right, within project. But with TN-Grid or Universe the difference is at most 10% to 15%. What makes SiDock so different? |

Posted 3 Mar 2023 by arcturus Post: I'm averaging just around 29 points per hour with this cpu. Full resources committed .. running Linux .. at 4.5Ghz. My newer Ryzen 5700's produce considerably more, over 52. Are there optimizations (SSE,AVX, etc) missing with the i7 which explains the considerable difference? The differences aren't nearly as pronounced in other projects like TN-Grid or Universe. |

Posted 30 Jan 2023 by arcturus Post: For granting a fair credit to a computer, BOINC server must have a fair benchmark and have gathered appropriate statistics based on the set of tasks completed on this computer. This is common for all projects. Some are optimized for Linux, some aren't. |

how long can "long tasks" be?
(Message 1917)
Posted 21 Jan 2023 by arcturus Post: I'm running another project that has tasks that are quite allergic to restarts, and I'm running SiDock on a Ubuntu 22 machine on which the Boinc Manager keeps crashing a second after being started, so I can't use it and instead rely on boinccmd which makes aborting tasks a PITA. Try this: https://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/ |

Posted 17 Jan 2023 by arcturus Post: I understand the developer is looking into this but these new units are muddying the situation as to whether these are new 'normal' run times or whether they're truly hanging. Not everyone gets around to checking progress often so I'm guessing we're going to see a stream of 'these units have been hanging for days!' posts soon. Looks like it has begun. |

Posted 15 Jan 2023 by arcturus Post: The circumstances that led to the unit hanging hasn't changed so I just abort them to avoid the possibility the same thing happens again to the same task. In other words, the chance in intermittent. I'll rather avoid it completely and await the determination of the developer. |
