32 minutes a frame.

edit -
ok marty - you're right. So that's 685 PPD. I was getting about 100 more PPD using VMware. But out of the 3 projects out there, 2610 seems to be getting the worst ppd, according to the stanford forums
 
lol, lazy bitches us all for not figuring out the PPD on our boxes...

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I vote we make BillR do it!

Another one for my T2500, ignore the first two, it was then I realized I was running the smp client plus two normal clients at the same time.

So from personal experience I'd say the Windows SMP client is better PPD than two single threads, but not as good PPD as running Linux64 SMP in VMWare. Anyone else agree/disagree?

I only ran vmware for 2 1/2 days (2 WU) but comparing times, the windows smp is only 30 sec/frame slower than in vmware. Not to mention it's only using 230 - 250mb compared to ~900mb plus the ability to actually use my computer. Vmware totally hogged the box. Even simple java games were a slideshow and ripping dvd's took 1 1/2 hrs compared to 15 - 20 minutes.

Is the spreadsheet calculating PpD accurately? I noticed a few math errors on the front page the other day. The other opty 170 had longer time/frame but was producing more points.......no biggie just thought I would point it out.

Thanks for putting everything together so we can all compare notes.

*Edit....Looks like the numbers are fixed already.

Yes, it's working fine. I have been guilty of copying and pasting and forgetting to change one part or another. I think I have fixed everything I caught. That first post is getting mighty long especially in edit mode with all the tags.
 
And my results from the horrendously slow 2610.

~25 minutes a frame. Ouch.


 
Second set:
P2651 (1760) @ 13:28/f = 1881.9 PPD ( 588 PPDpGHz)
Third set:
P2610 (1523) @ 17:17/f = 1268.9 PPD ( 396.5 PPDpGHz) (Wow, what a point drop!)
 
I'm getting about 18-19 minutes a frame on my E6700 o/ced to 3.16GHz. This is while surfing and watching A Scanner Darkly, so I'm guessing I'd do a bit better if I just let it sit.
 
I think he meant the first two frames not the first two donor postings on results.

Yeah, I eventually noticed what he said. What I meant is I'm not running another client but it still has huge frame times. According to the log, I've been working on this protein since 16:09:47 two days ago until 14:54:33 (right now) and just finished 95%. That's 70 hours for 95% of 1523 points, or 20 points per hour, or 480 PPD. That's about 45 minutes per percent, or twice what Sgraffite is getting.

New ram is getting ordered today.:D
 
Running on a dual Xeon 2.4 HT enabled with 4GB of RAM. Had to reboot it this morning.... Looks to about 45 minutes per frame. I'll see how this runs on the new quad core 2.33 xeon when it comes in next week. ;)

That's screwed... 563 PPD off that box and your going to miss the perfered deadline by a ton-- just barely make the final.

It's a fast box too (IMO), nothign wrong there it's just these SMP deadlines are dumb as moose...:p

This box doing much else?

Actually it was shut down for a day so it's far behind but not really doing anything else or very little. It's a domain controller and is only running print services right now and even that's not being utilized. I just looked at task manager and it's showing 4 threads at 25% CPU useage per thread. That seem right? Or should I change something?

Odds are it's right. I think you need a 3.0 GZh Dullie Xeon to make the perfered dealines.

With Nocona or Irwindale Xeons, yes. Woodcrest or Clovertown or newer run at lower clock speeds but are significantly faster.

Nah, I think somethings off on that box. My prestonia's at 2.8 do 25 min a frame on 2610, probably around 30 min a frame for 2651. For only being 400 mhz less, 45 min a frame seems pretty bad.

I know a few other boxes, with Nocona/Irwindale which really cut things close on deadlines. I'm just thinking Stanford might end up short changing themselves some by cutting all the dual P3's/1.6 Xeon dullies and such. Obviously SMP is a better way to run those boxes for science part of things, obviously a Woodcrest runs way faster but why not get the most out of every box.

Timeless SMP FTW!!!!! :)

It's in beta, only a few weeks old who knows what the future might bring.
 
spreadsheet will be available tonight. it's done except for the last few entires. :cool:
Well worth the wait IMHO. ;)
 
T5600 (2 MB shared cache) @ 1.83GHz
P2651 (1760) @ 23:58/f = 1057 PPD (578 PPDpGHz)
 
3800+ X2 (2x512 cache) @ 2.45GHz
P2610 (1523) @ 43:50/f = 500 PPD (204 PPDpGHz)



Both of these (this post and previous) based on 1 frame not an average. Better numbers when they are available. I'm getting into the game late.....

Looks good. Now if you feel like alphabetising, organizing by cpu model, and cross referencing WU..........ahh, J/K :D
 
Good job on the spreadsheet :) If you want to take it a step further, I know of a javascript file that will make all of the headers on the table links. This wil allow you to click any of the column headers and sort the entire table by any column you wish. Very convenient and useful. Since it is javascript, it is all done client side in your browser, so it doesn't affect the server load in any way.
 
You wanna see long frame times?
smp-sad.png

14:04:03 for one percent :( Something made explorer peg the CPU (both cores!) overnight and FAH gave up its timeslice like it's supposed to. So, it took way, way too long for that frame. I hope I make the deadline...
 
^^ and they call me the crapper queen... :D

I've got a dual P3 slot 1 550 box just dieing for some SMP luvin!!!
 
^^ and they call me the crapper queen... :D
This isn't a crapper - board and chip for this sucker were around $170 each when I bought them. It just acts like one :(

A timeless SMP client for all the dual p3 boxen out there would be really nice. Especially if it scaled itself to however many chips you have...

Hi there.

Looking at your chart and there appear to be some significant inconsistencies:

CPU GHz: Shouldn't that be total GHz? Otherwise you're throwing your PPD/GHz numbers off.

For example, my 3GHz e6600 is effectively 6GHz (2 cores @ 3GHz each). If I had a quad running @ 3GHz, that would equal 12GHz. If you don't break it down that way, there is no way to compare different GHz machines.

As long as you know GHz per core and the total number of cores for a machine you have all the info you need to do the calculations.

By nature, this is a SMP aware application, so there is no need to double the GHz on a dual core system.

Yeah I agree, especially since it doesn't scale linearly from 2 cores to 4. I think it would really skew that calculation.
