It's Linux. I have to change several settings, and then reboot, which I've been putting off all week. I may also try to install a couple more case fans.
 
Yeah..it seems the Pentathlon has really stoked a fire the team has needed for a while. We have already taken #1 in League 3, so now to try and dominate the rest of the Sprints.

I wonder if Linux hosts do better at Rosetta than Windows ones. I read that some WCG applications, like OpenZika, perform better on Windows Linux, and some folks with Windows hosts therefore run WCG in a VM with Linux guest. I have non-virtualized Windows and Linux hosts, but not with comparable hardware.

OCN is still adding machines. One member "went to work" this morning, said they would add a few more cores once at the office. Other members reacted very positively to this announcement. Uh oh.
 
So regarding Windows vs Linux....if you get the performance benefit of Linux, in a VM inside a Windows host...the performance hit from Windows has nothing to do with the added overhead of running Windows? I always thought the added background processes of Windows was using too much CPU compared to Linux, but it seems the Linux tasks are just coded better?

You're getting more points than claimed, I'm getting less points than claimed. Boo.

Pretty sure claimed points don't matter on Rosetta. It looks like about 25 points per hour per core is average. Serial Peacemaker is getting up to 50. 🙂

The overhead from background work, on-access malware scanners, and what have you, can be a factor, but doesn't have to. I think this depends on the setup and maintenance.

The cases of applications which run faster on Linux than on Windows, that I read of, are attributed to using more optimized libraries on Linux. Unfortunately I don't recall where I read this; it would be good to get to the bottom of this.
 
Day two and holding on to second. Is OcUK still holding out? When will the big move come. Will we, can we overtake Overclock.net? Stay tuned for tomorrows excitement 🙂😀

Hey, the R@H Free-DC stats are out for today too, and I'm #4! 🙂

How the h*ll am I beating Mark? I did get the Ryzen up to 3.85GHz today... Hey Mark, you better step on the gas, buddy! 😀
 
I had been requesting mostly 16 h tasks until today, which was good. I switched to 2 h tasks a few hours ago but realized that this is a bit too short for a dual-socket host, given that Rosetta's scheduler typically hands out 1...2 new WUs in 5 minutes intervals. (Under circumstances, it is possible to get larger batches.) And if you happen to encounter "No work is available", the request interval will quickly go to multiple hours. Therefore I am switching to 4 h tasks again for a while.

I have seen users lamenting under-utilized hosts in one or two other forums. My guess is they had large hosts and small target CPU time settings.
 
Wow. Just a little bit of a bump you gave us there, Stefan! 😀 You've earned a new badge!

Now, should we go help [H] defeat the Russians in league 3, or nervously look behind us? I'm going with nervously looking behind us. 😉
