SETI: New portable cruncher

[conjur]

Got a new IBM ThinkPad with a 1.7GHz Pentium M.


This thing ROCKS!

Amazing, aren't they!

Any times to report yet?

 

[Assimilator1]

Cool!

What RAM do they use?

 

[conjur]

It's a T42

I'll have to upload some WUs to my home SetiQueue later on and see what the times are. It looks to be under 3hrs, though, at a quick glance.

 

[Surge On]

I have a T41 with a 1.5 GHz processor and with the seti driver my times are approx. 2hrs 15 min. so expect good things.

Nice conjur

I think smoke has a 1.7 and gets around 2 hours or less on his lap.

 

[conjur]

Uhh...these are from WUs downloaded directly from SETI, not thru a queue:

Average CPU Time: 50m19s

That's for 12 WUs!

:Q :Q :Q :Q



Oh wait...more detail:

"gg" is correct.

Here is a clip from my SetiQueue.

Smoke - Centrino 13.61 Avg WUs @ Day; 14 WUs Yesterday; 4 WUs so far today; 1h45m Average CPU; 23m04s last reported WU; 10 WUs in cache *

*1.7 GHz Centrino from Power NoteBooks

 

[conjur]

Well...the average has settled up a bit to 1:18. I guess those bad WUs were throwing me off a bit.

 

[FlameDeer]

Wow, you get great time!

Nice conjur! :beer:

:Q Is it just me, or is that faster than every desktop processor?

I guess it's a monster laptop.

Here are the last set of WUs:

Not quite ,a P4 HT is faster in total WU output (with 2 S@H instances) but yes the Pentium M is a fast CPU ,it compares well to the Ath64s

Thats strange. My A64 overclocked to 2.4 (from 1.8) seems to average about 1:50 for a WU. Could that be because I run other programs (firefox with 5+ tabs, outlook, sometimes itunes) while seti is running?

 

[Assimilator1]

Well that may be adding a little ,but like I(we) said the Pentium M rocks ,I think it is a little more efficient than A64s
