My pendings have positively sky-rocketed... slow/mia hosts...
This causes my/your/our RACs to rise and fall like a yo-yo; it's hard to tell what the flat-line and stable RAC would be!
Take a representative WU you've recently completed. Calculate your credits/hour of crunching. Multiply by your hosts CPU efficiency to get credits/hour of wall clock time. Multiply by 24 to get your RAC. Repeat for each additional host you run and sum the values.
My pendings have positively sky-rocketed with the beginning of S5R2, averaging around 700 when I hardly had more than 200 before, usually only around 100. But I don't really mind, I'm still going to get those credits. Maybe it has to do with sth as simple as my higher resource shares on Einstein, or so many people having problems with the new app and shifting resources. Or maybe I'm just sharing my datafile with some slow hosts.
That's nothing. Since I brought my new 6000+ machine online, my pendings have gone up to about 5800, and only in the last few hours have gone down to about 5600. Before, even with all of the old machines crunching along with the 3500+, I never went above about 1700 or so for pendings. But, of course, the S5R2's weren't issued until after I got the 6000+, so there may be a bit of conincidence going there, as well.
I maintain a 3day queue, and average about 24hrs worth of pending although i've seen it as low as 8, and as high as 100. A shorter queue would naturally be much more volotile.
This project has become a poor use of my resources. My computers are spending too much time doing debugging work on the new work units, if I want to do beta testing I'll sign up for it.
o.k. i skimd over some posts. but i just had to post the time for the two wu's i have on board now. the first one has been runing for 58 hours is 78% done and has 15 hours to go. the next one has a time of 72 hours. now this is on a 2Ghz p4 if i was using a 1Ghz i assume that would then be a 6 day wu. and if said machine only ran for say 12 hours a day, thats a 12 day wu!
and no, not really complaining just had to post those numbers! y'all take it easy :)
seeing without seeing is something the blind learn to do, and seeing beyond vision can be a gift.
I have Einstein currently running on 3 AMD computers.
My AMD X2 4800+ (2.4 GHz) is running Windows and takes about 15.5 odd hours to do a WU, getting about 35% pts/h less than before.
My AMD Opteron 285 (2.6 GHz) runs Linux and now takes around 18 hours per WU despite being a faster processor.
My AMD Opteron 275 (2.2 GHz) runs Linux for 20 hours per WU.
My question is why has Linux now become so much slower than Windows?
Is part of the 'optimising' that is to come going to level these OS's out?
None of my 3 computers are overclocked.
I have decided to take my Windows machine (AMD X2 4800+) off Einstein as the new cobblestone/hour rate is now too low (from around 20 to less than 13), to justify it's use on this project.
For now my Linux machines will stay. This is the first project I joined so I don't want to leave it, I am patient so I will observe for a while to see how things progress.

Well, ya' know, this is a volunteer effort. If the computer time that I volunteer can help debug the app, that's fine with me.
I've finished the first two S5R2 units and am half way through the third without any trouble so far. I'm running an old AMD 850 and taking about 50 hours per unit time. Is it just the newer machines that are overclocked that are having trouble?
(edit) is running multiple projects not helping, I run Einstein only.
I know... that`s why i`m running E@H exclusively, right now. I dont have any problems with errors, but the fact, that i hit the same time to complete an s5r2 WU as AMD 850? I got twice the juice in my barton (1.88ghz).
Could you pls give me a link for those workunits of yours? How many credits did you got for them?
Two are pending though, and you got twice the credit for the same time!
