The weekly Fastest of Seti@MURC

[Jorden]

Hi Martin,

Since we've lost a couple of days due to a break down in the forum server, people might want to look at who is fastest at the moment.

I've seen we have Rags back, so after the debacle of the last thread, in which Rags quit Seti@Murc completely, I would like to ask you to exclude all those who have average times under 4 hours.

If those people don't want to be excluded from the Fastest list, then we'd better hope that all people reading this thread have the decency not to ask how this person comes to these fast times.

Welcome back Rags.

Jorden.

[Rags]

I don't mind being asked how I get my fast times, what I do mind is when I tell them and they don't believe, then proceed to call me a liar/cheater.

[Jorden]

Point taken.

Hey leave Rags alone, if you wanna go faster in Seti run the Linux cmdline version

[CHHAS]

What I'd like to see is a comparison between operating systems, setups ect.

We all want faster WU times, lets try to find the optimal setup, for the good of the team.

------------------
P3 500@560, 224 MB ram, G400 16SH, SB Live Value
Maxtor DM 40+ 30GB, IBM Deskstar 16GP 10GB, Maxtor 4320 13 GB
6h50min avg on the last 30+ SETI WUs

[jms]

Recently switched back to Win98 from Win2k.
P3E@828, 256MB RAM
Win2k: ~5 a WU
Win98: ~4:30 a WU
It will do non-Gaussian ones in 4:15

Some other machines:
P3E@620, 128 MB RAM
Win98: ~5:30

P3@500, 128 MB RAM
Win NT: ~7:15

All running 2.4 commandline version.

Point well taken, Rags.

It's good to see you back, and I'm not referring to your WUs when I say that.

Jorden: okay, I'll cook up a new list. I won't exclude the fastest murcers though. What's the point of doing a "top-20 pretty fast ones, excluding the fastest, because people might ask questions"?

My fastest setup:

- Quad Xeon 550@550, 1MB L2 cache. One CPU used during speedtest.
- 1G memory. Dunno what type.
- 18 G Ultra 2 SCSI.
- Linux 2.2.x

The one WU that was crunched in this configuration took 5h 48m. Considering the spread in WU-times, an "average" WU may take longer or shorter. It's now back to seti-ing on all four processors, which takes longer (a little less than 7h).

I guess Pace3000 had a lucky day (possibly a noisy WU, which gets sent back after a few minutes).

jms,

Did you change your seti nickname (from "jms(500E@765)" to "jms")? If so, will you keep the new one? I'll give you back your WU-history on seti.matroxusers.com then.

Ees,
I'm going to keep my new nickname.

Hi,

our fastest system(for the newbies: I'm a member of "Alpha Centauri") is a Athlon 750.
In the last couple of weeks we all upgraded our home system from K6-3's to Athlons (2x Athlon 750,1x Athlon 600).
What makes me angry is that the clients are mostly Intel optimzed. Even with an 750Mhz one we need nearly 6 hours for a WU. Some of you get that with a crappy "slow" Coppermine OR Katmai 600.
Really shitty.

PS: We are all using commanline client.

Thanks Martin.

HuiHuiHui, We are on place 5 !!!

unluckily we will be passed by Xenosynth in a (couple?) of days .

But it's easier to handle that we will be passed by such a strong Competitor.

Has anyone seen Xeno here on the forums yet??

>>>What makes me angry is that the clients are mostly Intel optimzed<<<

I don't believe that the clients are optimised for Intel ,I believe that the PIII's do better at SETI because of their better memorey performance when on a BX chipset board
