I'm not going to put much effort into this one, LLR ramps up the speed of the fans in all my machines and, after a few days, begins to drive me nuts :(
I'm just going to run one, slowish, machine though; just so that I can claim to have taken part in all the challenges this year :roll:
I'll still do the daily team stats.

Hmm, well mine is definitely running quite a bit slower than yours Ian. Although it seems that, according to the details shown on PG, your Q6600 is a little more powerful than mine, it doesn't really explain why mine seems to be taking one and a half times as long on these PSP LLR tasks.idb wrote:Joshrandom wrote:but my Q6600 is running 4 tasks, which, after 29 hours are roughly at 20% each (pretty much in line with the above).
Hmmm, my Q6600 (2.4 GHz) is running a bit faster than that - all 4 cores showing 11 hours for 12% (roughly)

I guess that the discrepancy might be due to the Windows7 application just being more efficient than the Ubuntu version, or that perhaps some WUs are just less a little demanding than others, or maybe the problem is that I'm also running Collatz WUs on my GPU and they're leaching a significant amount of processing power away from the CPU. Then again perhaps it's a combination of all of those reasons.
Ho hum, at least I should get the first four WUs done before the end of the challenge.
James.
This is a nightmare watching them slowly complete.
My Q6600 finally completed 4 tasks in 136 hours which is a bit disapointing to be honest. My laptop is on-off crunching 2 workunits and will complete in around 80 hours total and its only a cheap little core 2 duo P7250 at 2 ghz.
Hopefully i can hold onto mid table to the end

I've had to abandon some of these tasks running on my slower boxes. They just seemed to accumulate more hours to go than there were hours to go, if you know what I mean. I think that running FreeHAL at the same time probably grabbed too much memory - as well as slooooow CPUs.
Well done to those that had a go.

Well that's my fifth and final WU for this challenge completed, and I have to say that I'm glad it's over.
Oh, and I finally figured out how to make my q6600 process these WUs at a more reasonable rate (run them on three cores and leave the other one idle), it's just a shame that it took me almost the whole challenge to figure it out. :evil:
