WU Time analysis

[Ronin]

I decided to take a look at the logs of some of my machines, to get an idea as to how long it takes for them to complete a WU. Below, you fill find the results. Note that some machines are running 2 processes (denoted with a *) and 1 machine is running 4 processes (**).

*Prescott 2.8GHz - 2h 58m
*Dual Opteron 240 - 2h 50m
*Dual 2400+ MP - 3h 37m
A64 3200+ - 2h
Centrino 1.6GHz (Dell) - 2h 6m
Centrino 1.6GHz (Acer) - 2h 16m
*P4HT 3GHz - 3h 5m
**Dual 2.8GHz Xeon - 4h 43m
*P4HT 2.8GHz Laptop (Toshiba) - 2h 53m
*P4HT 3.2GHz - 2h 51m
Barton 3200+ - 2h 45m
FX 51 - 1h 49m

Now, the numbers are slightly skewed, because I did move from the 3.08 to the 3.03 client after I edited my hosts file, so there is a cross evaluation between the old and new clients, but the jist is there, I believe. I may actually back up the logs starting today, and start fresh to get absolutes.

I did notice in going through the logs that in some cases, there were several WU that never completed (less than 100%), or were at 99.99%. I took those out of the equation to not skew the results. Comments/thoughts/observations, etc?

my observation is that im jealous and wish i had all those crunchers

WOW thanx for the info Ronin! Looking GREAT!

**Dual 2.8GHz Xeon - 4h 43m

I really like that. In fact, each WU is effectively taking just under 1hr 11m.

Yeah, it's still hard as heck to keep up with you in WU production each day, too 20-22WU/day just outta that box avg (I just went through SetiSpy to figure out for sure).

hey ronin are you running stock cooling on the 2.8 prescott? if so, what are your temps like compared to the 3.0c? ive heard that the prescotts run hotter but im curious as to how much hotter we are talking about.

The new stock Prescott coolers are much better than the 'normal' PIV coolers.. (more copper etc)

The PIV's (and Xeons ) are just great at Seti!!
Also nice to see the A64 be that much faster in Seti than the 3200+ Barton!!
It does look like the extra 512Kb cache advantage that the A64 3200+ has over the A64 3000+ isn't helping
much in Seti.. At stock speeds my 3000+ is getting 2h10m averages.. (Below 2h @ 2200Mhz)

It's no fun when my AMD is beaten by a Centrino!!! :Q

Thanks for the list Ronin!

The only one I don't have up there is a A64 3400+, which I have, but it hasn't been up long enough for me to give an accurate estimation of WU times, but when it has, I'll be sure to post it
