So as we get on with acquiring larger systems for home use and abuse; is there any consideration to creating larger; more complex WU's ?
Now I'll admit, I haven't a clue what is entailed in the creation of a WU or a whole batch of WU's for general distribution. But it sure seems from a simple man's perspective, the systems might be capable of doing significantly more than what is being requested these days. Can someone cough up a firball of a response? |

You are absolutely right - but the scientists are way ahead of you.
They are always pushing the boundaries of what is technically possible. HPF has gone to higher resolution models, FAAH is also using more sophisticated software. |

The aspect that I haven't a clue what is entailed in the creation of a WU or a whole batch of WU's for general distribution.  or The scientist's are prepping software for us to utilize 64 bit support and larger memory models?  Thanks. |

I might be mistaken [it happens occasionally] but Help Conquer Cancer runs a little faster in 64 bit, maybe 10-15%. . . . the rest of WCG runs on 64 bit OS's, but as 32-bit.

You are not mistaken about HCC (except that it is also a 32-bit application) it does run faster on 64-bit systems, and if I remember well it is by about 25 %. I also have a strong feeling that HCMD2 is doing much better in 64-bit systems, but this is still a strong feeling because I have not had much spare time since the launch of HCMD2 and I have not made any strict measurements and analysis yet. But watching my quad crunching HCMD2 under Ubuntu 64 and XP 32 makes me wonder if the benefit might not be even more than 25 %. I think I will have more time now and I will collect results to confirm this feeling in the coming weeks. Cheers. Jean. |
