Benchmark...under 2 hours !!!

[The Wizard]

OK folks !!

My dual Xeon 2.6 did 4 WU's in 4 hours 34 minutes.

That's 1.085 WU per hour.

I think with that benchie that the 2 hour mark is passed...

I will try to tweak this baby a little more but I think that it will
be a small improvement.

Who will be under 1 hour per WU ???

I know I will try.....

Crunch on guys !!

got screenshots?

no its more like .85 wu per hour
but thats still fast!!
good job

got screenshots?

Agreed.

BTW, what was the AR of the WU's you crunched?

 

[lonewolf1983]

the benchmark is a .417 WU i believe

got screenshots?

We would seriously love to see the screenshots. Did you do the benchmark units or what?

 

[The Wizard]

Hi !!

It wasn't the benchmarj unit, but i will try them out !!

Missed the thing about screenshots. I will post screenshots when i di the reference WU's

It's been a LONG TIME till your last post and I bumped the thread.....

Now,let's see.......You have 4 hours and 34 minutes crunching 4 WU......Then THE BEST YOU COULD DO the SETI benchmark will be 2 hours and 17 minutes...... AM I WRONG???.......You are TOO FAR from EVEN 2 hours......So don't even THINK about almost 1 hour SETI bench.......AM I WRONG AGAIN?....Cheers....

how did you figure 2:17 ?

Well.....Dual machines can crunch 2 WU at a time , BUT if you crunch only ONE WU then ONLY ONE CPU is working for this WU coz SETI Program is not designed to take the advantage of 2 or 4 or x CPU's......So when you run ONLY ONE WU then ONLY ONE CPU WORKS......IF Wizard has a DUAL Xeon 2,6GHz....(a) he can't OVERCLOCKED it...(b) it works for ONE WU as a clasic Pentium4 2,6GHz and EVEN worse coz there is NOT much memory bandwidth.....

True that brother...Lets see some numbers Wizard. Those Dual Xeon's must be a lot of fun to use though. I'd salivate just at the thought of a video editing machine with balls like that.

AHHH that was obvious hehehe. Good point, I completely forgot seti can only use 1 cpu at a time

hipro5 whats ur p-4 @ ?3.6ghz ? this xeon score will be good if its even @ 2:17 i mean its still 1 ghz under your score and opnly using 1 cpu its not bad

Not true. A Xeon DP does not have reduced memory bandwidth when compared to a P4.

And why not?....You can't "PLAY" with the memory timings on a Xeon Mobo as you can "play" in a P4 Mobo.....

 

[lonewolf1983]

all depends on your choice of mobo, and theres always the WPCREDIT option if you can figure out which registers to tweak

My P4 is a 2,8GHz(look sign)......and the SETI bench WU is a bit "big" WU so The Wizard will crunch it in about 2.30 hours.....

Come on Wizard do the bench please and post a screenie coz I'm about to built a DUAL Xeon 2,8GHz and I'm courius how it does.....

That's clever but you have to know EXACTLY what you are doing with the WPCREDIT not to "destroy" everything....

It is always a good idea to backup the registry before any modification. I even backup the registry before installing a new unfamiliar program. Just in case
