Dual Processing and Seti

Bman1238 · 06-17-03, 12:47 AM

Has anyone had any experience with SMP systems and Seti? If so could you please give your system specs and time per WU?

Thanks

There are quite a few members of our team that have and still are running SMP rigs, I am probably not the best example of top production by an SMP but here goes:

Asus A7M-266D
MP-2100's @ 13 X 133(quirk in MB won't allow any OCing)
256meg PC-3000

I average 3hrs45mins per WU for a good solid 12-14 WUs per day just depending on ARs

Hope that helps enlighten you

I have a Tyan S2460 with dual 1900+s which runs just a little slower than Skyhooks.

Look at sign for system specs......with an average of 4.5 hours per WU in the dual PIII system.

Dual systems are great space savers.

myn takes about 3 hours 45 mins i think ( i cant check im not alowed to use it till i move back out) see sig for what it is.
memory is at 144 mhz and fastes timings but registered ecc enabled.

Too many to take the time to count. Most are Dual PIII 600's (HP LC 2000's) and a couple of slower Dual PIII's (HP LH 3r's). A couple are 2 or 3-way PIII Xeon 500's (HP LXr 8000's). One dual PIII 1.4 (Dell 1650). One dual Xeon DP 2.2 (Dell 2650). The Unix guys are even crunching with a 4-way Itanium 2 900 running HPuX 11i.

SMP won't impact completion times, those are still pretty much CPU dependent (chipsets accounting for most of the differences). You just work on more WU's in parallel with fewer boxes. SMP means more, not faster. If the client was multi-threaded, the situation would be different.

At one point, we even had an HP LS 4-way Pentium 133 server. It wasn't worth it to keep it crunching as a modern PIII or better laptop will bury it. It wasn't a wise use of electrons as our lab UPS's were running near capacity.

I've run it on numerous dual systems. At the moment I only have one dual running - A7M266D with 2 2000+. It produces about 10-11 wu's per day.

John LA · 06-17-03, 05:06 PM

The dual Xeon 500's in my sig do between 4 and 6 wu's per day.
It only cost me $150 to put together though, so it was pretty inexpensive.

Asus dual 1800+ at stock with ~12wu/day

LandShark · 06-20-03, 02:06 AM

the only dual i've left is a Asus A7M266-D, running 2 XP 1800+ @ 1.66Ghz, average around 12-14WUs/day. it's also my file server & seti queue server & dns routing at the background too. highest up time is 60+days running WinXP Pro SP1.

however, i will be selling this too.....soon.....
