I know this is switching gears a bit but I'd like to take a moment to remember the rapidly dwindling number of Pearl Harbor survivors on this day 67 years layer. An uncle of mine was a survivor and, having been to the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, well, if you've been there, you know the feeling.

Never been to the Pearl Harbour memorial. But I did visit the beaches at Normandy. If it is anything like that, I'm sure it was quite moving. |

December 7 1941 was a really dark day in human history. So much of man's energy and ingenuity is wasted on destroying each other. We have yet to learn.

Keith, how many points a day do we need to make our goal? Well. we're at 72,999,743 for the year as of today. That leaves 7,000,257 to go to hit 80 million with 24 days left. That works out to 291,677.375 points a day. Dataman.. we need you.  Everyone.. fire every single computer up and crunch. We can do it! I think our trek at PCHF ends on the 22nd ... perhaps I can drop by then.   |

The i7 has 4 cores but 8 threads so it's considered a "Octo" core. It is not a true Octo just yet. I'm not sure how crunching on those virtual cores will turn out though. 64 bit operating system should not affect crunching by producing bad work unit results. On the first issue, I am not an expert on the processors. But watching this i7 makes one wonder. It is Hyper-Threading but it seems to work differently than the previous incarnation of Hyper-Threading. Watching the CPU utilization stats on the 4 cores indicates that at least 8 processes are needed to keep them all maxed out. Now that does not seem right but that is what the monitors show. I will cut that machine off from the net for a while today and see if we can get an estimate of the number of CPU hours per hour it produces (can be somewhat deceiving). And how many Cancer WUs per hour; perhaps that will shed some light on the matter. No, there is no overclocking or other tinkering been done on any of these processors ... at least yet. As to HPFII work units, my personal experience indicates we need to keep HPFII off the 64 bit machines with 64bit vista. One of the CAs might want to point this out to the WCG Techs and have them take a look at the HPFII stats: 64bit Quads with 64bit Vista: Gimli (i7 920) 4 pending, 3 valid, 11 failures. Gandalf (Core2 Q9550) 7 pending, 9 failures The 32 bit Vista results are: Elrond 1 in process, 2 pending, 1 valid Eowyn: 1 pending, 2 valid, 1 failure 32 bit XP results: Theoden: 1 Pending Dual Core with 64bit Vista results Samwise 1 pending, 1 valid. Sorry that I do not have more stats on this but this is all I can see at the moment. Kind Regards to all. |

I actually have a related query. I just got my first Clean Energy Project WU and got a computation error. Now, that might be because I'd been changing the speed of my CPU all day and am now seriously overclocked at 3.24ghz (Thanks Blizzie. Vcore is set to 1.4 btw, is that too low for 3.2ghz?). Or it might be new project issues. Has anyone else seen a Clean Energy failure?

I noticed that they took tons of hours (11 allegedly) to complete and didn't want to waste any time. I'll chalk my one errored out WU to random chance/my monkeying.
