what kind of RC5 performance for a duron at 950?

[rudds]

i'm getting ~7.8 million nodes/sec i believe... does that sound about right? just curious

 

[office boy]

check here
should be about 3.2 Mk/sec (For RC5)

nodes/sec is for ogr, you need to switch it over to rc5

 

[rudds]

how do i switch to rc5? (or back to ogr, or whatever, for that matter?)

sorry, i'm new to this junk but i don't see it in the client config anywhere

Yes, you are getting about the right rate.

You can get more information about RC5 and setting up the client in the distributed computing forum. To only crack RC5 you need to add/modify the following line in you dnetc.ini file:

[misc]
project-priority=RC5,DES=0,CSC=0,OGR=0

 

[rudds]

aaaah, thanks

i've been poring over the distributed site and asking on irc, but i couldn't seem to find that little tidbit... you'd think it would be more available

 

[sciencewhiz]

Don't worry, you aren't the first person to ask that question, and you certaintly won't be the last. Like I said earlier, come on over to the distributed computing forum if you have any other questions.

you can also take a look at Paulson's RC5 tutorial.

Have you joined TA yet?

 

[rudds]

nope, i'm still a wildcard in that sense... i was just using rc5 to help stress my cpu and cos it's kind of cool

if i end up joining a team, i guess it'll be TA. dunno who else i would support

 

[xtreme2k]

RC5 doesnt stress cpu

LOL, of course it does! It takes all available CPU threads.
