SETI 2.70 ... 3.5-4 hr WU's!

[w9design]

Just completed a few WUs with the new client...
I have an 800 MHZ machine that churns out a WU in 5hr 45min with 2.4 CLI.

I just got 2.70, and WUs are clocking in at 3.5-4 hours! Long ones take a little over 5... There's a large variance in WU times... I had one over 6 hours.

Great news but where'd you get it?

I do not think the beta is not accepting new members, and beta testers are only allowed to download the install program once; then they're locked out. So I can't give you a link.

Try e-mailing beta@setiathome.berkeley.edu with your system config and subject of Beta Test. That's how I joined when they announced the beta was open on the alt.sci.seti newsgroup. Last I've heard, though, is that the beta is closed to new testers. Sorry.

Hurry up & get it!

w9design: Thanks for the info. If MisterM responds I'll put one 2.7 Client on a box under his name for him. I don't want to get anyone in trouble so I will not use it on the rest of my herd.

Hmm ,well ,I've been running it now for 4hrs 15 mins ,it's at 35.7% ,not too good ,better than v2.66 but definatly slower than v2.04 or v2.4.
This is being run on a Cel 366 @ 550 ,CAS2 RAM ,Win 95c with little else running alongside.I usually manage about 8.25 hrs on v2.04GUI & about 7.9hrs on v2.4CLi.

It takes hours to do one WU? Man, you SETI guys are patient!

Russ, NCNE

Hehe, that isn't so bad Russ . A Prime95 "WU" takes around a month on a P3 600. That's patience (I only did one, and then I had to quit because I couldn't stand it any longer...).

 

[TwoFace]

Hehe Russ... it takes hours doing OGR as well and when you and your rack has solved Rc5 that's your ticket

Just thought I'd mention that...

Russ, but we can stop in the middle....
