Will updating my UD device profile to allow for more disk space produce more points?

^^^

All my installs so far I haven't mucked with & left w/ 1gb of storage space.
Will more space produce more points?

 

[Insidious]

I wondered the same thing. Reading their points thingy made me think it might. (just skimmed it)

I bumped mine up to 2G a few days ago. If it did make a difference it was small

(6357 and counting........... OMG 50K is a LONG way away )

once I get to 25K, I'll start a 25K thread lol

I used that compare thingy on yours and my results, I still don't totally understand it, but it looked like you and I get about the same amount of points per result, just a difference in time it took to do it. (THCjoinT:Insidious 1)

I thought I had read that the points were supposed to be based on how much time went into it rather than just how many results were returned. So obviously I am confused.

out of curiosity, what does your UD show for your overall performance number. Mine hangs around 140 (sometimes it dips because during a report I was playing TFC or something and the network score drops really low. (That's OK, I'd rather blow up his SG )


Overall: 138
Proc: 155
memory: 134
storage: 40 (set for 2G)
network: 137

Yes.

The amount of points you get for each WU is directly related to the computer's Overall Performance score. Unfortunately the max value you can set for disk space is only 10GB (I'd love to get some bonus points for my extra 190 GB ).

EDIT: Device Information

Overall: 92
Processor: 76
Memory: 134
Storage: 196 (9.77 GB)
Network: 62 (varies greatly, depends largely on traffic during the WU transfer)

ok, I have enough space - but on my C: partition. Any way to change the drive it uses?

Well. I don't understand at all how that works. This is the rig in your sig? The 1.4Tb?

This is the UD stats for my Workstation
Overall: 106
Proc: 115
Memory: 134
Storage: 20 (I just tried to change it to 5gb from 1gb, but hasn't worked yet )
Network: 87

I'm not sure if you can/have to. You can allocate disk space for the Agent in the "My Device Manager" on your UD Home Page. I have no idea whether it actually checks if the info is correct or not.

It checks/calculates the values during the WU transfer. You'll just have to wait for a little while.

Yeah. I have installed UD on both of em. (they don't run 24/7 though and when we are gaming not much crunching gets done)

I just don't understand how your Tbird 1.4 is rockin' my P4 1.8, by a LOT~!

Tee Hee.............

I probably shouldn't point this out...... (cause I'm basically cruel)


But that is TWO computers. They are each identical. Now, don't get me wrong

these lil' puppies are sweet, but alas..........

It takes two of me to r0x one of you....... (I'm a poet )

*edit* The above was talking about the rate of returning results.... If you are talking about the overall performance score, they (home screen of UD) show my proc. rated at 155 compared to a P4 1.5

It's not just hype, OC'd 1.4's are pretty quick. with the price difference considered.... hard to do an upgrade to anything out there right now..... But you just wait (MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH)

 

[joinT]

? I'm confused. even though it's installed on 2 computers - when you open the UD panel in one of them - it should give you stats for "just" that machine. are those the same stats you posted?

 

[Insidious]

yeah, the stats shown on either of my comps (performance measures) are just for that individual machine. (I posted from one screen) the two machines stay within 3 performance points overall of eachother

the rate you see results returned from me is what is doubled. It calculates the average CPU time per work unit correctly for each individual machine/wu, but it is the average results per day that is double what a single comp. could do.


You do know it takes a P4 2.0 or 2.1 to outperform a TBird at 1564MHz


(looks like I might make it to 7K tonight before I shut it down)

Digging back in some of my old posts, I came across this from 2001... (oh, it's not AT that has so old messages.

The total machine-score is:
40% cpu-score + 25% memory-score + 5% HD-score + 30% net-score.

and for points and THINK, the nearly correct answer is:
Points = run-time * machine-score / 5

The max score for hd is 196. For excessively high net-scores, it's set to 100.

The client will check and use the lowest number of partition-size it's running on, and the setting in the profile.
Example, 1 GB profile, 1 TB partition, gives score of 20.
10 GB profile, 5 GB partition, gives score of 100. Oh, and it's the partition-size, not the free space it's checking...

Now, since this info is from 2001, I don't know if it's correct any longer...

 

[joinT]

so when I go to UD & set up a new profile to use that increases the storage to 5gb - do I need to restart the machine or client to get it to take effect?

 

[Insidious]

I think it will update itself the next time you send a result.
