1) Message boards : News : New badge type (Message 3292) Posted 6 Jul 2022 by Skivelitis2 Post: Really cool badge.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : very weak credit (Message 2764) Posted 11 May 2020 by Skivelitis2 Post: Look to the PrimeGrid sieve sub-projects for a fair benchmark, both CPU and GPU.
3) Message boards : News : GPU app - beta version for linux nvidia (Message 2308) Posted 26 Mar 2019 by Skivelitis2 Post: Credit is acceptable for now. More important is OpenCL and Windows implementation. Credit can always be adjusted [upwards :)] later... IMO this is where Eric's resources should be applied to enable more users and move the project's scientific goals forward.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : GPU app (Message 2076) Posted 27 Jun 2018 by Skivelitis2 Post: Thanks for the update and good luck.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : GPU app (Message 2074) Posted 26 Jun 2018 by Skivelitis2 Post: Can we get a progress update on the GPU app?
6) Message boards : News : 2017 year in review (Message 1955) Posted 29 Jan 2018 by Skivelitis2 Post: Will versions of the GPU app be available for both Windows and Linux?
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux vs. Windows credit? (Message 1874) Posted 26 Apr 2017 by Skivelitis2 Post: I recall reading that close to 10 years ago when I first started BOINC. The problem is, BOINC likes to run the benchmarks right at reboot when it's been awhile. I'll have to remember to run them again when rebooting for Windows updates etc. Thanks again for the reminder! I like badges, and for those I need credit ;)
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux vs. Windows credit? (Message 1872) Posted 25 Apr 2017 by Skivelitis2 Post: Re-ran the benchmark and floating point value went up by over 50%! Last time I rebooted the i3 was for a kernel update and may explain the low value if benchmarks were running at the same time. Thanks for pointing that out.
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux vs. Windows credit? (Message 1871) Posted 24 Apr 2017 by Skivelitis2 Post: Thanks for the reply, Eric. I think I'll manually request BOINC to run the CPU benchmarks again and see if anything changes and report back.
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux vs. Windows credit? (Message 1869) Posted 24 Apr 2017 by Skivelitis2 Post: Recently started crunching NumberFields again on a few hosts and have noticed a credit oddity: On a 10+ year old Celeron900 Win 7 64bit laptop: workunit 17395431--- 13661.69sec CPU--- 300.88 credits (79/hr) 17395394--- 14357.49sec CPU--- 312.60 credits (78/hr) Core i3 2120 desktop Linux Mint 18.1 64bit (HT on): workunit 17370121--- 9421.11sec CPU--- 140.45 credits (54/hr) 17370149--- 9481.86sec CPU--- 141.44 credits (54/hr) Never before have I seen the old laptop outperform the i3 on a credit per hour basis. Had these (cr/hr) numbers been reversed, I would have thought nothing of it if I had even noticed. Is this credit difference between the 2 operating systems normal?
