A problem, maybe?

If you look on the device statistic page of "My grid": http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms...icsByDevice.do you will see andrew, sempron, and laptop. Sempron and andrew started like 5 minutes apart from each other, yet andrew has way fewer results returned. Why is this?

Unfortunately we need your login to look at your device details - its difficult to say why without knowing the spec for the two machines.

mabye one is running the aids project and the other cancer?

**Martijn** · 09-04-2006 07:17 AM

This project isn't based on a target run time like Rosetta. If you have a fast computer, it will process WUs faster. If the specs of both rigs are the same, they were probably doing different research (either aids, cancer or proteome folding).

Or the results from one machne just aren't valdatng as fast as the other.. All depends on the luck of the draw on who you get paired with on your quorum. Some rigs take over 48 hrs to run your wu's.

- is that the 4.77MHz or the uprated scorchingly fast 8MHz version

**[XC] hipno650** · 09-04-2006 02:12 PM

Was actually considering getting the old Alpha out of the closet, guess if nothing else, it'd make a good floor heater for under the desk when I get back to Idaho. Will probably have to run it through FX-32, as I don't think Boinc has compiled an alpha client =). ancient, and emulated, what could be better?
Gonna have to try and oc it now

Get some benchies from an "original" 64 bit chip.

No one ever ported Linux to alpha?

I had a P150 PRO, to bad I sold it on flebay. Could have put out 2 WU a day maybe!

My P3 does 16 hours for one WU, so I think not

Too bad my 200 PPro with 1Meg cache would have put it to shame

I have it put away with a motherboard and ram incase I ever feel the urge to ressurect it, I think it might even be overclocked to 233 too

**rob725** · 09-05-2006 08:34 PM

Couldn't resist. I had to go looking.

www.alphalinux.org

May be able to do some serious crunching with linux client. That was a heck of a chip for its time.

**RSmura** · 09-06-2006 03:22 AM

That's it. I'm breaking out BOTH my Commode VIC 20 AND my Trash 80. That'll put this whole thing to a rest for sure.

In my loft I have a Sinclair Z64 Black and White and a z64 spectrum, then I upgraded to the Atari XT 400, with a tape boot, Ithen got the floppy boot drive.

No one can beat them, they were the first.

Trumps my northstar z80. Had an hp programmable calculator that would of worked if someone made a cruncher pak.

If they did, I expect youd need a back pack to put it in and train with it.
