Hey Team...
I nocticed that we actually had a very decent output on FreeHal yesterday...Yep, thatīs rigth...Almost ― Mill CS done on FreeHal...
Itīs so easy points to obtain, that everyone with 1GB ram or more should be doing this!!!

I agree. Now that they have fixed it to were you have many choices on how to run it. You can have cpu intensive, non-intensive and now you can run both with your choice of 1 core or multi cores depending on what you are running in your system.
CI WUs take about 1 hour. NCI WUs take about 4 hours. If you allow more than one CI WU on your machine, you're going to be eating up a lot of your processors, and not doing nearly as well with other CPU projects. I'm allowing 1 NCI/core on my machines, and am really happy with the output. Doesn't interfere much with CPU crunching that way.
It's the first project I attach to.. All 3 rigs are running it now :)
What is this FreeHal you speak of?? :p
It's been down for the weekend, but it's back up now. Check you machines, as they may be working off a really long back-off. Get them going again manually if you have to.
I agree that if you run the CI tasks that you will use a lot of processor if you allow more then 1 instance to run. I only use the NCI units. If they take longer or I don.t get as much credit it's ok with me. At least it is running and getting credit.Quote:

That was a little joke.Quote:

Have they gone back to running 25 WUs simultaneously with little or no CPU? If not, I don't see a reason to crunch this one. SIMAP and several other projects don't have enough WUs to go around but they don't limit machines to one at a time, but that's just my opinion. I'm guessing my boxes get more credit per cpu second on AQUA anyway.
You can run up to one task per thread, non-CPU. Big credits.
In my best Arnold voice...Run it, run it now! :)
Actually, I think it's one thread per physical core - my 980x only gets 6; the dual quad xeon get's eight. The AMDx6 gets six...Quote:

I seem to have problems every time I run FreeHAL. :(
But I guess I will try it again... just like the other day I was out back banging my head on the block wall when my neighbor saw what I was doing she asked, "Why are you doing that?"
Because it feels good when I stop... duh.
Yep. Me too.Quote:

Ok - it's got to be me and some setting I have, but I can't figure out which one or where I change it. (And yes, I have it set to 1 NCI WU per core...)
My machines:
- 2 threads => 2 NCI WUs
- 4 threads => 4 NCI WUs
- 6 threads => 6 NCI WUs
- 8 threads => 6 NCI WUs
- 12 threads => 6 NCI WUs
- 16 threads => 6 NCI WUs
Help?
Something weird is going on, and probably with the project server (what else is new?). Sometimes I get 8 sometimes 6, like you.
Still, I will put up with the idiosyncrasies so long as it isn't breaking anything on my machines. 12k+ per day in free credits.
Agreed - not complaining about the credits I'm getting. Just found it weird and would like to get more free credits if possible... :cool:Quote:

I get anywhere from 1 to 4 units on my Q6600 quad. Must be the server. Of course the server has always been a little funny. I just let it run. If it works ok, if not well......
I donīt even notice how many I run at a time...And frankly...I donīt care...Itīs anywhere from 500 to 1000CS per day I would not get anyway..
Ill drink to that!! <:-PQuote:
