Pls disable Sierpinski / Riesel Base app (base S712) (fixed)
(Message 876)
Posted 9 Feb 2015 by frankhagen I have found a small mistake in relation of the S712 base in a script that caused the empty input files. I have cancelled all WUs and will recreate new until the rest of the WUs are returned. SNAFU |

Posted 28 Jan 2015 by frankhagen The more modern the AMD architecture -the more (theoretically) complete the possible instruction set-, the worse the performance??? plain simple? yes - if you call for floating-point performance. integer speed is just another thing. and about "K10-baesd" - those things lack that big L3-cache - pretty ugly.... |

Posted 28 Jan 2015 by frankhagen Ever watched in the debugger whether an AMD CPU actually uses the AVX part of the code? the Intel compiler-made Assembly seeks a when running on a non-Intel CPU. oh no - not again that ancient story. :( even if this still would be the case - but of course you seem to be sure that intels compiler has been used for the app in use here... |

Checkpointing?
(Message 768)
Posted 26 Jan 2015 by frankhagen To avoid losing work due to task switches, you can set the flag "Leave applications in memory while suspended". i really doubt that this will work here. you either prevent boinc from switching tasks or stick to the short queues. |

Posted 17 Jan 2015 by frankhagen now it's definitely wrong for each and everyone. this would be a totally new definition of RAC. |

Raspberry Pi
(Message 585)
Posted 9 Jan 2015 by frankhagen VFP10 is a step in the right direction. When that's available, serious discussion about ARM versions of this software will be reasonable. It will still be slower (and a lot slower), but not nearly as bad as the current differential of several orders of magnitude. if anyone is going to buy that design and goes into mass-production. does anyone need a gadget capable of running vector math? |

Posted 3 Jan 2015 by frankhagen well, i did not want to give them a five figures penalty on this, but you are right, it would end up somewhere around that. not even thinking of PI's... the next one showing up with this suggenstion might earn one of my spare slide rulers. ;) |

(Message 497)
Posted 3 Jan 2015 by frankhagen You haven't come close to explaining why a short deadline is needed. plain simple: only after the last wu of a batch has been returned, the results can and have to be evaluated manually. after that the next batch can be prepared and started. not that hard to understand - isn't it? |

Posted 3 Jan 2015 by frankhagen This is a shame, because I keep my laptop loaded with BU tasks, normally, but have 2 or 3 ARM devices that are crunching for other projects, but I would love to donate more power to this project, but can't for now - once the project gets famous and grows, could there be an ARM app - it would get 1000s and 1000s more devices involved... OMFG! could you please consider that this projects needs IEEE 754 compatible FLOATING-POINT hardware and there is no ARM design available providing this? software emulation could be coded (if anyone would be crazy enough) but you'd have a penalty in speed of at least 2 magnitudes. so can we please have a note on the main page, that this is not going to happen? |
