Posted 3 Oct 2016 by -Alex- Post: Well, my i7-4790k will typically run a task at maybe 1,5h to 2h, so the longer run time mentioned seem very reasonable. Sometimes I and others get these superfast ones, but they are not the typical ones that you should expect. I didn't see one for weeks after joining. You were "lucky" from a credit point of view, however I have no idea whether these tasks have any scientific value. Then there are small differences in speed depending on whether you are running standard, SSE or AVX tasks. The client will choose the fastest version after testing the supported alternatives. Your computer is choosing AVX now (normally the fastest but generates more heat), however one of the first tasks assigned was a SSE which is still reported as running. I have several computers running (some AVX and many SSE) and I notice that these phenomena seems to be intermittent and also typically affect either the SSE or AVX tasks. |

Posted 21 Sep 2016 by -Alex- Post: Yesterday I added six computers to my account and today I got very pleasantly surprised with my statistics. I then got pleasantly shocked and later sadly so to see the rate at which my stats kept increasing... There are two problems (maybe two different symptoms of the same issue): A. Several computational errors, on one computer that I watched the tasks barely get to start before they get marked as failures. However not all tasks fail but I've got more than 200 tasks labeled with Error in just a day. B. Extremely fast completion times. I have several computers running trough tasks in 150-300s but it should take more like 4000-8000s. I've seen it happen to the AVX tasks. They do get validated though...! I'm guessing the results are rubbish? What will happen to stats, will someone eventually clean out these short run time tasks? |
