Any Distributed Computing Projects That Would Work Decently On A Pentium 100?

[ShotgunSteven]

A friend has offered to give me an old Pentium 100 box, and I was just wondering if there were any DC projects that might actually get results from it. If so, let me know, and point me to where I can download them please. 🙂

seti works well with linux installed on that type of chip 🙂 I have a P133 running it.

 

[ShotgunSteven]

Too slow. I want results! 🙂

Steve, if you run SETI then SETI timer suggests about 69 hours per WU. 🙂

Edit, and if you can Overclock to 133, then that will get it down to about 55 hours / WU. Dunno if thats possible, but my old 166 was running at 200 for ages.

I already said, I do not want to run SETI on it. That kind of time for one WU is not worth it, when I have more than a dozen faster machines running it. Especially when two of those are not even being utilized right now, thanks to the continuing problems at Berkeley. :|

IsOs, what kind of results can I expect from ECCP with it?

Probably up to 130.000 interactions per second (remember that the P4 only does up to 300.000 interactions) from running the optimized ECCp-109 client.

U can check the FAQ of ECCp-109 in my sig, its on TA's website.

From the info I've collected, I would say a P100 would do 20-25k it/sec in ECCp, giving you 3-4 DP/day.

For reference, at the other end of the spectrum an Athlon 1.5GHz gets 150+ DP/day.

You can't get blood from a stone!

I may give ECCP a try with it, then. I am not expecting it to keep up with a faster machine, but over 50 hours for a SETI@Home WU seems like a bit of a waste to me.

Or you could do rc5, it will churn out ~45 blocks a day at that. And you can kick it to a miniteam if you want, we have alot of those.

Me & Math don't go together well...

The equation seemed simple enough tough:

The output forecast for a P100 = ~25000 interactions

The 1st Optimized client increased output by = 25%

The 2nd Optimized client increased output by = 10%

So 25000 x 1.25 = 31250 x 1.10 = 34375 Interactions per second

Sorry for the wrong input above

😱

I would think the best projects for a P100 would be ECCp or RC5. In ECCp, I have a P200 laptop getting 60,000 ierations/sec, so a P100 desktop should get a little over 30,000 (34K could be about right). That is assuming you use the latest a greatest client. The output would be a worthwhile contribution to the ECCp team.

UD...

I'm running it on 2 x P75 (OC to 90 !!!)

They take a few days to do a unit but you get more points for the time taken !!!!
