I want to go faster (in Seti!)

[Kruse]

Rags

Until you tell us how you cheated, I can hardly take it seriously that you complete your WUs in about 1.5 hours on PIII 550 machines.

I would very much like it if you logged some WU times on the Coppermine and the Katmai (with SetiSpy for instance) and published the logs. That would make for some interesting comparisons.

[CHHAS]

Hurrah!!!

Finally made a top 20 list

BTW just finished my fastest WU ever, 5h 27 min

------------------
P3 500, 224 MB ram, G400 16SH, SB Live Value
Maxtor DM 40+ 30GB, IBM Deskstar 16GP 10GB, Maxtor 4320 13 GB
6h40min avg on the last 10+ SETI WUs

Rags,

It seems there's very little "default" about your configuration ;-) Oh well, if you don't want to share...

It doesn't however eliminate my suspicion that default Coppermines perform worse than default Katmais at the same speed, and that was what I was hoping for.

I'd hardly expect to get WU times below two hours from anything short of an Alpha EV6...

It gets better and better.

(I found out that I can just generate HTML-output right from my database. Very nice, and the text-table looks crappy for me, so the weekly update is a little early this time )

So, Rags, what do you want us to do before you tell us your secret? Should we get on our knees?

(Voice from below... ) Won't you please, pretty please tell us how you manage to do your WUs in 1 hour and 16 minutes?

(Edit: wahow! I guess UBB isn't too happy about html-tables...)

(Re-edit: does this fix it?)

That BIG GAP happens when you get Frontpage/Excel/Word or something like that to produce HTML pages and then cut n paste into this UBB. I can't figure out why though!

Thos average times - do they mean per WU per CPU? Or say if it takes me 5 hours to do one, and I have 5 machines, is my average time 1 hour? If so, that explains Rags' times.

goto http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/s...ountry_43.html
and check nr192!!!! 26min....

MMMMMM im nr79 in Sweden

Stefan

or http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/venue_1.html
nr46? 17min

[Ees]

SteveC,

Dunno why that big gap appears, but I now know how to fix it: strip all newlines from the table's HTML (make it all one big line).

It took some searching before I found the solution (on UBB's own forums).

And no: these are really the times per unit.

But if I read between the lines correctly, Rags' times are less than official...

I apologize up front if I misunderstand, but I sure hope that we can keep Team Matrox Users patch-free.

[Jorden]

Oh, look at that, I'm running the same times as Mark F. and Greebe, with considerable less WU's

Matt, did you have a couple of 1 minute WU's in there?

Jord.

[jms]

Rags,
there is no way that you could achieve those times with a P3. The Compaq Washington benchmark centre are averaging 1 hour 39 minutes, and they probably have some pretty funky machines. So what are you running?

[Mr D. Ackerot]

Sorry I cant make him come back Maybe my WU may help U....


Hm... I have now completed 130 WU...
Why is it showing 18...
