Re: HCC Program updated to 6.08

but the most important difference is the 64-bit mode vs the 32-bit mode which gives the bigger boost



Linux appears potentially to be much more efficient. The Q9550 is clocked at least 30% faster than the E5200. Both are 32 bit.
Also since the 12MB of Cache on the Q9550 appears not to be helping at all.

Does anyone have some times for the 64 bit Vista vs 32 Bit? I am curious about the efficiency.

I have an avg of 2.44 hours on a Q6600 Vista x64; sorry I don't have a Q6600 32 bit to compare it to (I do have a Vista x32 box but different processor so not apples to apples).

Re: HCC Program updated to 6.08

That is at Stock Speed, Correct(2.4)?

Yeah stock speed - I'm too lazy to mess with overclocking wink

Re: HCC Program updated to 6.08

Q9550(4.15) averaging 1:24 32 bit.
Vs
Q6600(2.4) averaging 2:24 64 bit.

If I did my math right both the clock speed and the time difference are both around 70%.
Since these are basically the same architecture they should be a reasonable comparison.
At this point I am not seeing the 32 vs 64 bit difference.
Also the Cache looks to make no difference.

Re: HCC Program updated to 6.08

After looking at this some more I ended up creating a new profile and running HCC exclusively on my Linux systems.

The efficiency is just better for that project.
A couple of $50 motherboard/CPU combos from fry's are just as good or better than my more expensive system.

Re: HCC Program updated to 6.08

For 170 HCC 6.08 WUs in a Q6600 clocked at 3.16 GHz under Ubuntu 64-bit (9.10):
Min: 0.74 hour
Max: 1.08 hour
Avg: 0.85 hour

Note that exceptions can occur: in addition to the 170 above I have also received 4 from a particular batch which have needed 2.67, 2.59, 2.59 and 2.55 hours!

Edit: My mistake! Those 4 were 4 old ones with the previous application. smile

Yes, it should be possible to do close to 1/2 hour with the right system.

Re: HCC Program updated to 6.08

Just checked the DL/UL and fortunately it's very small, amazingly small... not like a bandwidth killer.

As noted in other thread, day 4 of version 6.08 we've already risen or descended if you will to a project mean run time of 2.92 per task (morning session). Doing 186% work in the same amount of time. The techs/scientist were absolutely not kidding with 2-3 times gain.

Re: HCC Program updated to 6.08

Great news, that seems like it cut a year or so off this project.

Re: HCC Program updated to 6.08

The nightly only changed it down by a whisp to 2.91 hours project average. My quad gain is practically exactly half the old average i.e. doing 200% of the work it did before.

Meantime I'm so so so pleased with whatever WCG is doing to match fast with fast or the RR motivation that members are returning results within 48 hours cause the last 15 jobs, all completed by me quad within ~24 hours of receipt validated. Just 2 of last 30 did not do that trick.

Applause to all.
