SETI question

Senior member
i just joined SETI, i will be joining TeAm Anand later as i have not receive my password
what is the best time for completing one job?
is hyperthreading that important for SETI or is it the ghz that important?
what is the normal time complete one job for P4 2.8Ghz 800FSB?
 
Hi and welcome to the team.
#1 Your password usually take just a few minutes to recieve so you might want to check your span filter for it.
#2 The best times are under two hours per work unit but that is on a very fast or overclocked machine.
#3 for seti the hyperthreading will increase the total number of work units your machine will production in a day. That machine of yours should do around 14 to 16 a day depending on what else you are doing on it at the time.
 
Looks like you guys got here first 😱


But Welcome to the team Lookouthere and as your mentor, How can I help ?

I Have a few 2.8 prescots myself.........times very between 14 and 21 per day, depending on

Type of memory and FSB configs.

Using low latency memory with a conservation OC to 3.4
should give you on average 17 to 19 a day with HT enabled. Just make sure you have a good HSF.

These prescots run very hot :disgust:

And you have PM 🙂

mine already worked 8 hrs and done 3 units only....
kind of slow

Are you running the screensaver or the client with seti driver?

A work unit under three hours is about right. Some will be more and many will be less 😉

My 2.4 p4 hyperthreaded will do between 12- 14 a day I would think his P4 2.8Ghz 800FSB would do more than that a day.

what is seti driver?

Seti driver is an add on program you can use with the seti client to run seti as well as cache work units on your machine just in case the seti server goes down . When you use it alone with the client version of seti it will be much faster then running the screen saver version if that is what you are running.
 
Good point, Freewolf, I've just fixed that part of the "instruction page". 😉 😀
 
one more question
which platform perform better?(overclocked)
Celeron, Celeron D, AthlonXP, Pentium 4, Athlon 64, Xeon or Opteron?
Can Xeon or Optern overclock?
 
Woah big question!😉

Celeron (PIII based) are quite good at SETI with a decent FSB & timings.
Celeron (P4 based,not 'D') absolutley suck at SETI ,mid & high end PIII's peform better!
No idea about Celeron D's ,but there extra cache should help🙂 (is this Celeron based on the prescott or Northwood?)
Ath XPs are pretty good at SETI ,better than P4's at similiar MHz ,except the P4 HT variants which rock😀
Opteron = Ath64FX~Ath64 which are good at SETI AFAIK.

Celeron D is based on prescott
so dual opteron should help?
