Hello BilBg, thanks a lot for the bench package. Should help a lot to get some more reliable comparisons. I was just looking for something like that. :) The usage is fairly straightforward IMHO. However, have you tried to run the bench with more than two science apps (reference and another) in one run? I tried to run all apps with your default short workunit on a Win7 64bit system with AMD FX-8350 & GTX Titan and I guess something went wrong with the second GPU bench and all CPU benches after the reference and the second app. I have a hunch that some leftover from the previous run interfered here, could that be? The script MBbench210_Asteroids.cmd is fairly complex to me, although I should be able to understand it, so it might take me some time to find the reason here. So help is appreciated. :) Here's the quick timetable. The results with an elapsed time of 2.something secs appear to be bogus. WU : input_22147_73_short.wu period_search_10210_windows_intelx86__sse2.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 281.144 secs CPU 278.337 secs period_search_10112_windows_intelx86__cuda55.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 126.292 secs, speedup: 55.08% ratio: 2.23x CPU 2.465 secs, speedup: 99.11% ratio: 112.92x period_search_10112_windows_x86_64__cuda55.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 2.278 secs, speedup: 99.19% ratio: 123.42x CPU 0.234 secs, speedup: 99.92% ratio: 1189.47x period_search_10210_windows_intelx86.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 578.662 secs, speedup: -105.82% ratio: 0.49x CPU 575.800 secs, speedup: -106.87% ratio: 0.48x period_search_10210_windows_intelx86__avx.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 2.044 secs, speedup: 99.27% ratio: 137.55x CPU 0.031 secs, speedup: 99.99% ratio: 8978.61x period_search_10210_windows_intelx86__sse3.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 2.028 secs, speedup: 99.28% ratio: 138.63x CPU 0.016 secs, speedup: 99.99% ratio: 17396.06x period_search_10210_windows_x86_64__avx.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 2.028 secs, speedup: 99.28% ratio: 138.63x CPU 0.016 secs, speedup: 99.99% ratio: 17396.06x period_search_10210_windows_x86_64__sse2.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 2.028 secs, speedup: 99.28% ratio: 138.63x CPU 0.016 secs, speedup: 99.99% ratio: 17396.06x period_search_10210_windows_x86_64__sse3.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 2.028 secs, speedup: 99.28% ratio: 138.63x CPU 0.016 secs, speedup: 99.99% ratio: 17396.06x period_search_10210_windows_x86_64_bd_fma4_gcc.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 2.044 secs, speedup: 99.27% ratio: 137.55x CPU 0.031 secs, speedup: 99.99% ratio: 8978.61x The result file from the first run is included below. EDIT: Just finished a second run with only one GPU app and one CPU app and this time it worked. So there is definitely a problem with running two GPU apps or two CPU apps (not including the reference run) after each other, at least on my system. And it is not caused be the apps themselves, they seem to be ok. Here's the quick timetable from the second run. WU : input_22147_73_short.wu period_search_10210_windows_intelx86__sse2.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 281.144 secs CPU 278.337 secs period_search_10112_windows_x86_64__cuda55.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 156.780 secs, speedup: 44.23% ratio: 1.79x CPU 2.777 secs, speedup: 99.00% ratio: 100.23x period_search_10210_windows_x86_64_bd_fma4_gcc.exe -verb -nog : Elapsed 216.466 secs, speedup: 23.01% ratio: 1.30x CPU 213.721 secs, speedup: 23.22% ratio: 1.30x I have no idea why the 64bit CUDA app is slower here than the 32bit app in the first run. In both bench runs, the CPU was running with 4.0 GHz (no turbo or throttling) during the cpu tests, the GPU with 980 / 1500 MHz (not overclocked, not in DP mode) during the CUDA tests. I should do some more testing here... - don't mind the lines that say "Result : Strongly similar, Q= ..." - this info was intended for SETI@home and may/will be wrong for Asteroids@home To avoid those, it seems sufficient to delete the line "if exist .\testDatas\ref\ref*!wunbr%%w!.res call .\tools\mb_validate.cmd" from the MBbench210_Asteroids.cmd file (I commented it out instead). In that case, I suppose, you could also delete mb_validate.cmd, rescmpv5.exe and the rescmp subdirectory from the .\Tools directory. The result file from the second run is also included below.

Thanks a lot! If you accidentally delete some file or any other bad change - just uncompress the .7z package again Yes, sure. But both \Reference subdirectories "are intended to store what you plan to keep within reach" (quote from the readme :) ), so it makes sense to put all apps and test WUs in it IMHO.

You are almost right. You have to change first and third number. The first is where the app should start and the third is where the app should end. So this is the way how to make a short wu. You just change the range of searching with changing first and third number. The second number is how high step the app should do but if it is more than 0.5 than the accuracy of finding period is decreased. ID: 3102 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

This time I ran it concurrently with 3 Asteroids tasks within BOINC by using the 'mode noBS' switch in the provided BenchCfg.txt (and an app_config.xml for BOINC). Works great, too. Yes, that's the way to do more real-life-like test. Usually the test runs on a free from other load machine. On machine under high load the relative performance of the apps may change because of: - CPU cache misses/pollution/dirty - Hyper-Threading in Intel CPUs - "module" in the new AMD CPUs (different apps may be influenced by different ways/degree) In this case it is better to divide the test in two runs: 1) for CPU apps only - free one (more) CPU core in BOINC (and keep GPU usage as is) 2) for GPU apps only - run one less GPU task (if usually only one GPU task runs - just suspend GPU from Activity menu)(and keep CPU tasks in BOINC at the usual number) - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) ID: 3103 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

And again, btw, is the 64bit CUDA app slower than the 32bit one, strange. Not strange at all ;) The CUDA developer for SETI@home (jason_gee) tested this many times (and do not produce/offer 64bit CUDA apps at all) "As 64 bit addresses use twice as much register space as 32 bit ones, and GPUs use thousands of threads (each with many registers), 64 bit GPU code tends to be slower as well, chewing up precious gpu registers quickly. That can shift with driver latency being dominant at the moment (at least on Windows), and improved compiler technologies..."

CPU: AMD-A10-7700K, std clock 3.4GHz, DDR3-1866MHz, hostid=88984 I'm surprised how fast this Steamroller-Kaveri is compared to my 4.0 GHz Piledriver-Vishera. 221 vs. 216 secs elapsed time with FMA4. Are you sure it ran at 3.4 GHz and not with turbo frequency 3.8 GHz for example? Otherwise AMD must have done a hell of a job with Steamroller improvements here. ;) ID: 3129 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

"For GPUs, 64 bit does not mean faster or better in any way, only can access more memory" Then it makes no sense to provide a true 64bit app, if you don't need the larger memory space, right? The project could still provide a renamed 32bit app for the 64bit Windows flavors. ID: 3130 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

This one will be as 'Do it yourself (DIY)' To test for the optimal number of GPU tasks get this package: SetiPerformance 1.8 + Added apps from Lunatics v0.41 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=73524 (I collected it originally for SETI@home (the SetiPerformance program itself is not mine)) You may add GPU apps/tasks from any project this way: - Make a new folder (in 'zip' folder) (do not use spaces and special symbols) - Put a GPU app in it (.exe .dll ...) - Put one task/WU file in it - Rename the task/WU file to the standard general name used by the app For Asteroids@home Rename it to period_search_in For another project look in 'slots' (BOINC Data dir) to see the name (copy only the name, not the dummy file - it is not real WU) (E.g. for SETI@home v7 use work_unit.sah , for AstroPulse - in.dat , ...) - Edit config.xml (with Notepad) - Copy one <data> section and Edit the copy to set: <name> (any of your choice (do not use spaces and special symbols)) <folder> and <exe> to what you did in above first 2 steps Example: <data> <name>MB7_win_x86_SSE_OpenCL_ATi_r1843</name> <folder>OpenCL</folder> <exe>MB7_win_x86_SSE_OpenCL_ATi_r1843.exe</exe> <parameter>%20--device%20%device%20</parameter> </data> - Stop BOINC (you may if you wish stop only GPU computing) - you are ready to run SetiPerformance To use many WUs: - go to 'workunits' folder - Move all old files (from other projects) to workunits_OFF - Put new task/WU files in 'workunits' folder - Rename them with .wu extension - in SetiPerformance check 'Use all XX workunits' ) - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) ID: 3305 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 7 Jul 2014, 11:34:47 UTC Sorry - I gave some wrong info: 1) In the new folder/directory you need to put also a (dummy) file named work_unit.sah (just because SetiPerformance checks if such file exist) 2) It's not possible to automatically 'use many WUs' (because SetiPerformance renames them to work_unit.sah) (It may be possible if: - you hack the app .exe file (e.g. change string in it from period_search_in to work_unit.sah) - or (unlikely) if the application have command line switch to specify the input file (e.g. --infile) Then you may change the <parameter> to: <parameter>%20--device%20%device%20--infile%20work_unit.sah%20</parameter> ) Note: The progress indicator of SetiPerformance will not work since it is designed to analyze only SETI@home state files. It will be hard to generalize this indicator/analyze since state files are very different even at one project (app - file - tag): SETI@home v7 - state.sah - <prog>0.69267820</prog> AstroPulse - pulse.out* - <fraction_done>0.225225</fraction_done> - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) ID: 3308 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
