a question about work distribution
(Message 27690)
Posted 26 Feb 2016 by Mad Matt Post: I think it is a standard BOINC mechanism that over the course of time will try all variations of an app that can run on a device to try and figure out which is the most efficient code set. Once BOINC has figured out which runs best it will still occasionally send a different version to check and see if anything has changed from a performance perspective. Which does not seem to work at all as my machines keep being flooded with SSE2 since years. There does not seem to happen any kind of evaluation/conclusion on server side. Actually it doesn't really matter too much There is a factor of two Which may explain why the server schedulers don't show any conclusive preferences in distributing SSE2 vs SSE3/PNI. Is there any hope for some better optimizations? As much as I loved supporting LHC since the very beginning, it's not much fun seeing resources waisted (on top of stating it's not much fun seeing any good project using 'CreditNew'). |

Posted 22 Jul 2012 by Mad Matt Post: I am still getting a few PNI and SSE2 at times. Not knowing the meaning of PNI (=SSE3) I aborted those alongside the SSE2. What about having an option to select apps in project preferences? PS: Congrats on your likely sensational finding at LHC! \o/ Never hoped we would see this so soon. |
