Just had my first validate error using 4.55. The previous errors were cleared up by dropping the graphics capability.

OK, of 21 completed with Albert v4.55 I've had one invalid result. Seventeen passed and three are pending.

It's not clear to me that you can compare CPU times. From the average time it takes for the two computers to finish similar loads it would seem that the speed is not that much different. Granted, I don't know what else your two systems are doing. But from experience, when I had my windows and linux running the standard clients, linux would finish in less wall time comparable units, and both are workstations. I would even argue that the linux box was doing more things (encoding/watching movies, compiling kernels) than the windows machine (mostly typing/compiling)

Is that a K7 or K8 based Sempron?

I have some invalid results too

An important point is, that all invalid results are procced by old Athlon 64 processors with Clawhammer Core (130nm).

My newer Dual Core Toledo and Winchester have done only valid results.

It is a bit off-topic, but I thought you would like to hear that you can run your beloved Linux E@H bits also under Windows with coLinux. Even the graphics do work, albeit deadly slow. My first (and only) result is at
http://einsteinathome.org/host/604036

Performancewise it is reported to be suprisingly quick, if the CPU time reported is true then it is not much above my Akosf results if this Intel p4 1.8MHz machine. Admittedly my personal feeling is that it is slower. What really frightened me is that the performance reported in the boinc-client is at about 50%: Linux 436.26/1027.49 million ops/sec vs Windows 916/1781.32 million ops/sec, floating/integer, respectively.

Whatever, www.colinux.org is good fun, the X server is of cygwin.com.

Cheers,

I think the reason if this problem the low-precision sin/cos lookup table.
I will suggest to Brend the usage of my interpolation algorithm.
It gives about ~2300000 times more accurate sin/cos values an the speed is about the same.

Hey, since a fortnight has passed, I was wondering if there are any news on that front? Bernd, have you managed to integrate akosf's suggestion or are there more obstacles to it?

Cheers

To change the precision needs very big circumspection. Usually the validator gives 0 credit to the more accurate algorithms, because the results of the two others are same (but less accurate).
