crédits Gnu-linux vs Windows

Posted 4 Jul 2020 by mikey Post: Can the cry babies please get a life ? What i think is ironic is that YOU have finished 45 tasks on one of your Linux pc's and have exactly 0.00012589 total CREDITS FOR THAT PC!!! While one of your Windows pc's has done 68 tasks and gotten 121.05464923 TOTAL CREDITS FOR THAT PC!!! You are spending @2000 seconds of time on each workunit on the Linux pc and @188 seconds on each workunit on the Windows pc!! Each Windows workunit gets 2 credits while each Linux pc gets 0.00000333 credits!!! NO ONE does this for the credits but good grief YOU are paying the electric bill for that crap!!! |

Posted 3 Jul 2020 by mikey Post: Its not a 1st world problem its about equality between Linux and Windows with respect to the points awarded. I agree but the question is WHY are Linux crunchers still here, if the Admin NEEDS the Linux data and all Linux people leave then the Admin WILL make a change to get you back!!! As long Linux people accept the 2nd class status the status quo will remain as there is no reason to change!! The Admin posted over 60 days ago that there needs to be a change yet nothing has!! I am in the process of setting all my Linux machines to no new tasks until things change!! WILL YOU? |

Posted 29 Jun 2020 by mikey Post: Am I missing something here or is perhaps this project missing something? There is a way just load up some virtual machines and do multiple workunits at the same time. It does mean you will also have to run another project in each virtual machine, that's a requirement for running these NCI workunits and the data hit could be huge if you are paying for your data to be transferred but you could setup one virtual machine for each cpu core you have, don't know about virtual cores, and run multiple units at the same time. It does take alot of ram to setup them up but it's doable for most people. The number one user here is getting over 300K credits per day, that would be ALOT of physical machines as I'm getting around 2K credits per day with 18 pc's!!! |

Posted 29 Jun 2020 by mikey Post: I've been using my iMac from 2010 to 2020. This is one of the reason I bought one : I knew it would last, unlike any PC. And it did. NO the idea was not to put energy into something that is going to stop at some point anyway, they do not have a Mac app here my thought was if it takes alot of effort the return may not be worth it. |

Posted 27 Jun 2020 by mikey Post: Are you going to add a Mac app as well? I asked too soon...Apple is going to Arm chips of their own design and at least the mobile ones may not be able to crunch due to the power they would use. Seems the numbers of Mac users is dwindling and some projects are already discussing not continuing support for them. |

Posted 25 Jun 2020 by mikey Post: The current approach in the NCI project and tasks is indeed problematic. Are you going to add a Mac app as well? |

Posted 25 Jun 2020 by mikey Post: Check out the front page news section on WUProp project to understand the implications of Goofyxgrid and it's effect on WUProp as seen by the Admin of that project. So you are saying I can set up a virtual machine for 1 less than the total cpu's I have in a machine and crunch Ithena in each one of them and be just fine? The same thing for WuProp? I'm assuming that does NOT include the HT or SMT cpu cores on Intel or AMD. mikey |
