(moderation:
If you have any general comments or discussion (but not hard data) about BRP6-Beta that you want to share, please post them here. If you have actual results and are prepared to document your setup, please use the corresponding Results ONLY thread and please have a think about the guidelines I gave there.
Thank you for your cooperation!

RE: Long running Single

I've got a question concerning that host. If I look at the results on that host from the official app (before the beta), the run times are all quite similar but in the 20 ksec range. Did that app run with more instances in parallel? If not, that would mean that the fast-running beta app units (ca 5ksec) execute at 4 times the speed compared to the avg workunits before (hinting at PCIe bus saturation I guess). This is exceptional, I think a speed-up by a factor of 1.5 is closer to what most people with fairly modern systems and one GPU per system will see, but this thread will certainly shed some light on exactly this question.

I was running 2 work units

I was running 2 work units per GPU when they were running 20 Ksec range. (pre Beta) 0.6 CPU+0.5GPU
With a single work unit per card the time was down around 14 Ksec. (pre Beta) 1 CPU + 1 GPU
Beta v1.50 compared to this 14ksec(v1.39?) are running just under 5 Ksec 1 CPU + 1 GPU
Currently testing 3 work units with a 0.5 CPU + 0.33 GPU

I have made some significant
)
I have made some significant modifications to the opening post in the RESULTS ONLY thread. If you are in any doubt, please review the guidlines there because I have made clarifications/changes.
I have added extra hosts to that post - now a total of 4 - and have put more effort into the comments for each host. If you don't understand any of the numbers or descriptions/specs posted for each host, please ask here.
I intend to continue adding hosts - I haven't even started on NVIDIA yet :-). Keep an eye on the 'Last modified:' string at the top under the message ID. That will change each time I add new hosts to the list. I used a 2-digit host number because I'll probably end up putting more than 9 configurations in the list. I'm not sure if there's a limit on the maximum size of a post :-).
Cheers,
Gary.
RE: HOST 01: 619 Hi

Hi robl,
I moved your post to this thread because you haven't actually supplied any BRP6-beta results. Since BRP6 (non-beta) is just likely to be the same as BRP5 plus approximately 33% for the larger tasks, the real purpose of posting results is to identify the improvement of BRP6-beta and to throw light on the expected variability of crunch times.
It would be much appreciated if you would care to repost in the RESULTS thread when you have some BRP6-beta data to report. You need to have a significant sample size (which you should clearly state) so that the values you give are likely to be meaningful.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Gary.
RE: CPU: Intel Core

Hi Sid,
I moved your post to this thread because you haven't specified GPU concurrency and only 6 tasks reported per host is too few a number from which to calculate a meaningful average. It's fine to report run time only if you wish but please report an average over a much larger number of tasks. If you don't report concurrency, the assumption is that you are only running one task at a time. 03:38:00 seems way too slow for a HD7970 running only a single task.
If you'd like to repost with a larger sample size and clearly stated concurrency, it would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your interest in posting performance data for the beta app.
Cheers,
Gary.
