Yoyo: Muon finished

[RSS]

Stephen has stopped his Muon1 project. The main write-up of the project and its results are in Chapters 7 and 8 of his thesis. Nearly 90 million simulations were done.Therefore I stopped the workunit generation for Muon.

Oh no! Darn. There goes another App I still needed hours on! :)

[John P. Myers]

Wow. Missed the notice on this one...

[Ron Shurtz]

Just earned my gold badge status on Muon yesterday.:)
It looks like I will fall short of my 10,000 hours on the project as I only have 130 more Muon WUs left to crunch.:(
It will be close.

DOWNCLOCK your CPU! Been there and done that :D In the past I've dropped mine down to 1/2 normal speed and they don't mind at all .... in fact they run much cooler.

[Bryan]

How do you do that?

On my ASUS MB you can go into the BIOS settings at boot up and set the clock rate. It also has a after the fact (once Windows has started) SW utility to change OCing settings on the fly. Instead pushing the numbers higher you just set them way down. ie on the I7-3930Ks that I normally ran at 4.2G I have down clocked them to 2G so I could get hours when a project was ending and there were very few WU available.

[Ron Shurtz]

Sounds like a plan.
My Asus MB has those controls.
I'm monitoring it a little bit.
I have 104 Wu's left to get 388 hours.

I set the app_config to run more muon, evolution and ecm Wu's than I have threads so that each one doesn't get a whole thread.
It seems to lengthen the time each one takes and sprinkling in the other non-muon WUs makes sure I'm not trading time for increased quantity therefore negating the effort on the muons. :)
I just have to keep an eye on the deadlines.

Does Muon checkpoint? If not, just keep restarting BOINC before they complete.

[Ron Shurtz]

I tried stopping and starting Boinc manager ( actually I rebooted my machine while I was at it) and the muon and ecm WUs picked up where they left off.
The evolution WUs started over.
I'm guessing that the muons must checkpoint.:confused:

[Ron Shurtz]

Sitting at 9,823.65 hours on Muon.
177 hours to go.

I have 42 WUs left with 6 more currently processing.
I've got them slowed to 3.5 hour each.
Let's see... 3.5 X 48 =168 hours.

I need to slow them some more.
I'm adding two cruncher ogr WUs to the concurrent crunching to split the threads among to slow each down a little more.
I can get this if I keep an eye on it. :-ss[-O<

[scole of TSBT]

I still need 182 hours on Muon to hit 10k. If anybody has any Muon WUs and doesn't need the WUProp hours, I'll trade you crunching time, either credits or WUProp hours.

BTW, I can run Win, Linux, Android-ARM and Linux ARM apps in case there are WUProp apps you don't have yet.

[Ron Shurtz]

Sitting at 9,913.05 hours on Muon.
87 hours to go.

I have 22 WUs left with 6 more currently processing.
It's very close, but if I babysit it a little I should just make it.

Sorry no extra WUs here. :(

[Ron Shurtz]

Checked this morning and the last 4 muon WUs are processing.

I'm sitting at 9999.18 hours if you can believe it.
The next wuprop report should put me over 10,000 for hours muon with an hour or two to spare. (I hope) X_X

Nice run Ron! Congrats.

Final tally for muon on WUProp.

10,012.80 hours and a magenta star both for muon and for my first 20 WUProp projects. #:-s \:D/

Thanks for the idea of slowing the WU processing times. :-bd

[John P. Myers]

Congrats! A close call for sure
