Zathras's issues are interesting. I think his SATA controller has problems reliably using 4 or more partitions on the drive. So ... I'll keep the SSD Drive upgrade, but only setup 3 partitions - Windows 10 Release, Windows 10 Insider Fast, and Data. That's all done, and he's *finally* crunching again.

RacerX loves his new CPU cooler, and completed his old v1.17 task, so I'm setting up his Windows 10 Insider Fast partition, which he never had fully setup. He'll hopefully be crunching in a little while.. But hurray, he's on Insider Fast again!

That only leaves Nitro, with a v1.17 task... 510 days CPU time and counting ... in the Windows 10 Release partition... with Windows Update set for "Current Branch for Business" so he doesn't upgrade to the Fall Creators Update yet. Go Nitro Go!

Tough couple of weeks, but things are better now, I think.

Windows 10: We're closing in on the final release candidate builds for Fall Creators Update in the Insiders Fast ring. Builds are being installed every 2 days at this point. Fun!

Speed: Cruising smoothly, working on 3 tasks, and still looking for 4 or 5 new tasks.

RacerX: Had a water cooler malfunction, the new one is installed and works great - According to my calculations, he only had 2.4 days down time with that! Also, he completed his v1.17 task. So, he's now on Windows 10 Insider builds again, running VirtualBox v5.1.x, crunching 2 tasks and looking for 1.

Nitro: Still crunching on his 4 tasks (including a v1.17 task), in the Release partition with "Current Branch for Business" set, so he doesn't get the Fall Creators Update yet since it is incompatible with VirtualBox v5.0.x. At 521 days, one of his tasks will soon surpass his record of 544.1 days!

Zathras: What a pain his problem had become. Ever since losing that task due to Windows freezing, I vowed to find the culprit, including purchasing a new SSD drive, and installing clean installs of Windows 10 about 20 times. So far as I can tell, the problem happens when there are 4 or more partitions on the drive. So, instead of quadruple booting like normal (Fast Skip Ahead, Fast, Slow, Release), I now have him set for just 2 OS installs (Fast, Release) and a Data partition. So far, so good. Estimated downtime: 8 days. Damn. At least he didn't lose his current task, and he's also looking for 1 more.

Still happily crunching away.
Speed completed a task, Zathras seems to be stable these days, and Nitro is getting very close to beating his personal best on task duration!
Task availability is really sparse right now, I believe only 130 monsters are "in the wild"! Nevertheless, RacerX persisted, and got one :)

Tonight, I'm calculating how long it'll take Nitro to get done with his current v1.17 task, currently at 534.4 days.

Web link: http://www.rnaworld.de/rnaworld/workuni ... id=6330820

Nitro is:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 740 @ 1.73GHz
Multiplier and Turbo: 13, 1/1/6/9
Cores: 4
Hyperthreading Supported: Y
Max Threads: 8
Passmark score (all threads, total): 3,206
Passmark score (single thread): 915
Passmark score (all threads, per thread): 401
BOINC Measured FLOPS (million ops/sec): 1,773.00

Wingman is:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4930K CPU @ 3.40GHz
Multiplier and Turbo: 34, 2/2/3/3/3/5
Cores: 6
Hyperthreading Supported: Y
Max Threads: 12
Passmark score (all threads, total): 13,060
Passmark score (single thread): 1,998
Passmark score (all threads, per thread): 1,088
BOINC Measured FLOPS (million ops/sec): 4,218.82

My estimated completion times, based on CPU stats:

Code: Alles auswählen

     Wingman status: Completed: 2 Sep 2014, 20:54:45 -- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4930K CPU @ 3.40GHz -- CPU Time: 19,398,290 -- 224d 12:24:50
  Wingman estimates:
	You All Threads, Wingman All Threads:		52,631,769	609d 3:56:09
	You All Threads, Wingman Single Thread:		96,652,826	1118d 16:00:26
	You Single Thread, Wingman All Threads:		23,065,945	266d 23:12:25
	You Single Thread, Wingman Single Thread:	42,358,233	490d 6:10:33
	BOINC Measured FLOPS (million ops/sec):		46,157,865	534d 5:37:45
I've kept track of when I applied hyperthreading to this task:
213.3d all threads (hyperthreading)
126.9d half threads (no hyperthreading)
121.2d all threads (hyperthreading)
73.0d half threads (no hyperthreading)

Let's assume Wingman was set for All Threads. I know, it's an assumption, but I think it's a correct one based on additional research/stalking of the host :)

So, now I need a "You Half Threads" value.

Nitro multipliers are: 13, 1/1/6/9
Nitro single-threaded: Uses a multiplier of 13+9 = 22.
Nitro half-threaded: Uses a multiplier of 13+1 = 14.
So now I can use (22/14) to create a new Half-thread estimate, based from the single-thread estimate:

Code: Alles auswählen

	You Single Thread, Wingman All Threads:		23,065,945	266d 23:12:25
becomes
	You Half Thread, Wingman All Threads:		(23,065,945 * 22/14 = 36246485)	419d 12:28:05
So the estimates I care about now are:

Code: Alles auswählen

	You All Threads, Wingman All Threads:		52,631,769	609d 3:56:09	609.2d
	You Half Thread, Wingman All Threads:		36246485	419d 12:28:05	419.5d
Now I'll calculate "percent completions" for those chunks, based on the assumption that Wingman was set for All Threads:
213.3d all threads ... % complete = 213.3/609.2 = 35.0%
126.9d half threads ... % complete = 126.9/419.5 = 30.3%
121.2d all threads ... % complete = 121.2/609.2 = 19.9%
73.0d half threads ... % complete = 73.0/419.5 = 17.4%

So, this means I am (35.0 + 30.3 + 19.9 + 17.4)
= 102.6% done with this task (if Wingman was using ALL threads)

According to my calculations, this means that it should be completed ANY DAY NOW!!!
:) GO NITRO GO!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For giggles, I wonder if I can calculate an estimate based on wingman using half threads.

Wingman multipliers are: 34, 2/2/3/3/3/5
Wingman single-threaded: Uses a multiplier of 34+5=39.
Wingman half-threaded: Uses a multiplier of 34+2=36.

Code: Alles auswählen

	You Single Thread, Wingman Single Thread:	42,358,233	490d 6:10:33   490.3d
becomes
	You Single Thread, Wingman Half Thread:	(42,358,233 * 36/39 = 39099907.38461538)	452d 13:05:07   452.5d
becomes
	You Half Thread, Wingman Half Thread:	(39099907.38461538 * 22/14 = 61442711.6043956)	711d 3:25:11   711.1d

Code: Alles auswählen

	You All Threads, Wingman Single Thread:		96,652,826	1118d 16:00:26   1118.7d
becomes
	You All Threads, Wingman Half Thread:		(96,652,826 * 36/39 =	89217993.23076923) 1032d 14:46:33   1032.6d
Now I'll calculate "percent completions" for those chunks, based on the assumption that Wingman was set for HALF Threads:
213.3d all threads ... % complete = 213.3/1032.6 = 20.7%
126.9d half threads ... % complete = 126.9/711.1 = 17.8%
121.2d all threads ... % complete = 121.2/1032.6 = 11.7%
73.0d half threads ... % complete = 73.0/711.1 = 10.3%

So, this means I am (20.7 + 17.8 + 11.7 + 10.3)
= 60.5% done with this task (if Wingman was using HALF threads)

So yeah, let's assume he was using ALL threads, shall we? 8)

I have updated my calculator spreadsheet, so I can easily do calculations that can assume you're using "Half Threads" or the wingman used "Half Threads".
It's attached - check it out! :)
PS: The values luckily match what I did in the prior post.

Zathras picked up a new task, hurray! He's fully loaded now, along with RacerX and Nitro.
Speed is still searching.
