34 WCG Teams have signed up so far! Damn good showing! :rockout:

The science projects at WCG should get nice boost if the Teams signed up step it up a bit for this

I couldn't get that 5ghz stable for long on prime. so itll be a 4.8ghz and a notch more in volts.

later today ill give them a full test run, tweak and shall be ready!

quite good timing as im at work/training from next week!

I.. I.. yes.

One of my machines has an AMD E1-1200 in it. Estimate time for one CEP2 WU is 100h 11m 48s. :shadedshu
(It's a work computer. They gave it to me as an "upgrade" over my 1.8GHz C2Dm laptop.)

Even so, it shouldn't be much worse per-thread (if at all) than my Atom setup...

TRWOV · Sep 19, 2013

as expected, ppd output is down with the switch to CEP2. Noticed something though, when I was running a single CEP2 WU ETAs were 13h or so... now with 8 WUs ETAs are >19h. :confused:

Memory usage is ~2.2GB.

Checking on my 1055t, the reported ETA for the CEP2 WU it is running is 16h on XP x86.

brandonwh64 · Sep 19, 2013

Mine for all 8 are up to around 16-17hr completion times as well

Checking on my 1055t, the reported ETA for the CEP2 WU it is running is 16h on XP x86.

My little laptop, w/ an i5 running 2.4GHz, on turbo, lists the CEP2's with an estimated 15 hrs. On average, they have been finishing in 12 hrs 15 mins.

I gave BOINC 10 GB on my drive and with four running it uses between 2 and 3.5 MB's of RAM.

Methinks, that you should let them run a bit. I believe that the BOINC manager is dynamic and if you set it to update frequently, it will run them quicker, my experience. I have it set to 100% CPU and I really do not notice any lag surfing and such.

I am running WIN8 x64.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Sep 19, 2013

The times fluctuate badly with cep wu's. No 2 systems will have the same times. All 5 of my rigs have different times. Also the one rig you think should do it the quickest may just be the one that takes the most time lol.

d1nky · Sep 19, 2013

when it start 12pm tonight? or tomorrow night?

My FX8350 is a dedicated cruncher running Mint. I'll check actual ETAs tonight.

We don't have any gpu wu's right now.

If all fails revert back to a basic Boinc install and let her eat. It's what I do. The only changes on the actual client's is to report finished wu's immediately , bump the cpu time up to 90 or 95%, and increase the buffer to 1.5 days. Thats it.

theonedub · Sep 19, 2013

Is it just me or are there no CEP2 WUs available?

d1nky · Sep 19, 2013

im a noob whats the buffer??

I got it to 100% the web thing wouldn't change profiles, so I used the app. im re-installing on 2nd rig, so thatll be 12 cpu cores 100% and whenever gpu work comes available.

sorted: both are 100%, cant oc my 4100 the board throttles but 12 cpu cores crunching away! still don't know what the buffer is...

can we get a count down timer for this please??

Boinc -> tools -> Computing preferences -> Network usage

There is a minimum and maxmum work buffer. A range of how much work you will allow boinc to have downloaded at one time.

d1nky · Sep 19, 2013

ooh, min or max buffer?

thanks!

im rocking and rolling now! I know its early but id prefer to check for stability!

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Sep 19, 2013

I usually set the additional work buffer to 1.5 - 3 days, kinda covers my ass if there is a problem with Wcg's site.

Time to put the OC back. Crunch mode: ENGAGE!

TRWOV · Sep 20, 2013

I think I'll fire up the second 8350 or else my ppd will plummet.

I am a little late, had to work then ride 7 miles on my bicycle, then hook up at the bar. But I'm on and HERE WE GO!!
