First result (a long WU) with 4.24 beta completed successfully, but is still awaiting validation. Completion time on my Athlon MP 2000+ (dual CPU) was just over 8 hours, compared to just over 12 hours with 4.02. Nice work!

Congratulations on the work,

Congratulations on the work, 4 WUs crunched, 2 validated. Times down from 32,000+ to 21,500secs on a 4200. Has anyone had any problems? dAVE

Hello, Just downloaded the

Hello,
Just downloaded the app to Minime Linux on a p4 2.4 gig 754 Ram,Linux
followed somple isructions ran the w/u for 1 hour so far with no speed,will
finish in 1 hour 20 minutes{sorry am in xfce right now with no Bookmarks so cannot get the "seconds"} as per usual.The app took,and will post the results.
Any idea what I might have done wrong?
This is my first O.C. and may not have done something?

Sincerely

Doug

I also saw an approximate

I also saw an approximate decrease of 33% in crunch times. My single system runs 24/7 for Einstein and "that other project". For a long S5 WU, I went from ~18 hrs to less than 12 hrs.
Excellent work to all involved.

got my first validated 4.24

got my first validated 4.24 app WU ~ 8 hrs

Also, 2 WU's done with app 4.24 waiting for quorum...

compare to 4.02 app WU ~ 13 hrs

To get this 4.24 working yesterday, I pulled the 4.02 app and the 4.02 PDB out of the Einstein file and then 4.24 started working for me.

RE: A Pentium M (Banias)

Message 43433 in response to message 43405

Quote:

A Pentium M (Banias) 1.4 GHz laptop which had been taking about 55,000 seconds to complete large WU results from one major datafile, took 35,000 seconds to complete its first 4.24 WU, which unfortunately is from a different major datafile. It validated, and stderr_txt has a couple of dozen "small x" lines.

If this is the genuine speedup for the Banias, it appears likely to be considerably better than that for my hyperthreaded Gallatin or old Coppermine, though neither of those has a validated result yet. The one completed Gallatin result has perhaps three dozen "small x" lines.


As suspected, the Gallatin and first Coppermine, while improved, have significantly less speed up than the Banias, whose higher improvement is now seen consistently in three validated results.

Use execution time ratio (4.24/4.02)
Banias 0.64
Gallatin HT with Simon's SETIenh 0.72
Coppermine #1 0.74
Coppermine #2 0.82 (estimate from result 51% complete so far)

Multiple results have validated from the Banias and Gallatin hosts, and one from the first Coppermine, with no detected difficulties (roughly 15 to 50 "small x" reports per long WU).

My Athlon 1333mhz (no SSE,

My Athlon 1333mhz (no SSE, MMX only) went from just under 31 hrs per WU to 21.5 hrs on its first 4.24 WU (successful, but no quorum yet). [23 small x]

Great improvement. Migrating my other systems as time permits.

[edit] My AMD XP1600+ (SSE) system went from approx 14.5 hrs per WU to 9.64 hrs on its first 4.24 WU (successful, but no quorum yet). [26 small x]

Seti Classic Final Total: 11446 WU.

Reduction from 36 ksec to 24

Reduction from 36 ksec to 24 ksec for similar long unit from same data file on Pent M. Initial look at my P3 would indicate that it will have a similar speed up.
