OGR - so SLOOOW

[Mad Pierre]

This OGR that we are now doing is darn slow. It takes forever on this P100 laptop that i have got it on. How long will OGR be running for because all of my big guns are running RC5

PS do you like the cow

Mad Pierre, the OGR stubs will always seem pretty slow. While the assigned stubs may finish at different times, depending on complexity, they will all seem long. You may only do 4 to 8 per day on your PC. Instead of counting work units, in OGR you worry about how many Giga-Nodes or Tera-Nodes you can do in a day.

Whole different concept. I am a big fan of OGR and feel very comfortable. If you prefer RC5, by all means, switch back. Put your CPU where your heart is.

I got big stubs with as much as 65Gnodes (took 6H on my C450) and small ones (less than 1Gnode !) treated in few minutes.

100+Gnodes stubs have been reported. Maybe too big for a P100 (especially if you have 24 of that size !)

hehe ya some of the stubs are big. Dnet worked on this from the last attempt at ogr ... they made the stubs smaller. I still haven't gotten any new ogr stubs on my machine here at home since the day I got the 20 some odd it got on the day it started. I have a Ppro 200 here and it is crunching away at it. (I don't run it 24/7 if I did what I have would have been done long ago.)

One of my cows - a P233MMX - didn't report back to my pproxy for a long time. When it did it had done a 102 Gnode stub. Too bad one of my faster machines had gotten that one. :Q

It's the luck of the draw with OGR. Stub variation is tremendous. Like Bober, My dual P100 got a bunch of big ones. I had one of them take ~2.5 days to finish, it was over 60 Gnodes.
My fastest machine has been getting ones less than 10 Gnodes.

If they continue to be huge, you might want to delete your in-buffer and get some fresh ones.

Well, one of mine has been going for 1 1/4 days now and is 14.4% finished, on a PII 333 under NT 4 (463 client). Either something is seriously wrong here or else this is a humungous stub. At least it seems like it's working. I wonder if it's because I had the screen saver active. Oops.

 

[BoberFett]

SCREEN SAVERS ARE THE WORK OF BEELZEBUB HIMSELF!

Argh. STupid system. Double post I think. Wheres the original?

 

[TheyCallMeSAK]

Ahh! Anyway, I WAS saying:

Yeah, Screen Savers are gay. Especially since monitors don't need them like they used to (we are no longer using monochrome, lol). So many people, even with slow systems, use screen savers. SS's can mess with so many applications/services. Its so stupid.
