Down to 216 ready to send since you posted that.

All my shrubbers are back to Genlife only (on CPU) and cruising along.

Hey I-run-Genlife guy, you might wanna make your client backoffs more aggressive. Was watching my machine and wow 6.10.3 is spamming the hell out of you.

What'd be funny is if he had a seperate URL for us Kaniggits that we could attach to, and get work where it isn't available to some others (like boinc@australia)... Twisted Evil

Chances are this is temporary though; and there'll be more work available latter on.

Well now.....

The WU recycler runs on the hour and half past the hour - so there is always a fresh set of work at those times Wink

The current set of work is large than previous ones and so I'm getting to the point where disk space on the server is becoming an issue again (and, No, I can't just add more disks to it).

Ni!

you could let the grunts keep the work on their machines.

just up the maximum # of work on users computers Idea

Hmm, almost looks like an optimized app could help in more ways then 1. Perhaps both giving peeps more credit (like would help us take down boinc@australia a notch #ni-1

), and optimizing for disk space useage... I think some projects looked at the latter, when for reasons of networking useage they wanted to cut down on the network bandwidth they needed for uploads/downloads. Especially where their projects were comming close to capacity in available network B/W, and simply buying a faster network connection wasn't an option.

But what would be possible in that regards, hmm... And an obvious/perhaps, but immensly time consuming method, putting some of it into assembler, would be quite time consuming, especially as different platforms come into play. Course that might allow for the shrinking of the size of WUs, but not necessarily the data sets themselves....

Another method, which some projects have resorted to, is storing/sending the data in compressed format. Don't think CPDN sends all it's data for a WU uncompressed; then of course when a CPDN WU gets re-uploaded to the server, there is a step to prepare the files at the end of the WU, before sending it back up. In large measure, the argument for compression can be to keep the network transfer sizes down, but if it saves it on the server exactly as it sends it, might cut down on the space it takes also.

If the problem is the number of non-returned results, nudging down the deadline ever so slightly might also help alleviate that a little bit...

I made an ICC opti-app for 64-bit linux using up ssse3. It works but I haven't timed it yet to see if it makes a decent improvement. Timing will come when I have time, as well as versions set up for more platforms. Gonna smack the spe compiler around on the ps3 also and see if I can make a usable app this time around. If the ICC app makes an improvement I will give it to fang so he can ask for volunteers to test it. I'm thinking we can find some around here.

I have 2 Ubuntu 64 bit hosts crunching on the project at present time. I would be more than happy to lend them to the test...

I will see about timing it in comparison to the gcc app when I get home. If it works faster I'll set up an app_info.xml file for it and you can stress test it.

921 WU's ready to send now... 10.7K in process. I'm terrified of what creatures may be lurking within these larger units....

LanDroid · Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2009 5:16 am Post subject:

RAC = 92,416 almost caught up with our daily production: 115K yesterday and 151K the day before. Shocked

775 Work units clamoring to evolve...

Milestones:
John Galt 007 passed 450,000
5 is RIGHT OUT passed 2,000

I think we "upset" Free-DC when we passed them - I can see laurenu2 has cranked back up again.

Ni!

It'll be funny if they get upset, only to see us pass boinc@australia #ni-1

That would be a funny one right there.

Hmm, talk of an optimized client sounds oh so tempting right now. And oh yeah, speaking of which d/l one for Milkyway.... Shaved 25% off processing times #ni-1
