WCG Information

[MacDitch]

I just found this over at the WCG forum and thought it was worth copying to here! :)

It shows a lot of pertinent information for all projects that have not yet been completed so hopefully will be of use to someone.

Wot about the credits/hr?

Wot about the credits/hr?

They haven't moved from what you recall. I'd give actual figures but it very much depends on the computer you are processing on....

Actually, for the info I have:

Q6600:
Help Conquer Cancer - 16.31 cr/h
Nutricious Rice - 17.15 cr/h
Human Proteome Folding - 17.12 cr/h
Fight Childhood Cancer - 15.43 cr/h
Fight AIDS @Home - 16.12 cr/h
Discover Dengue Drugs - 16.20 cr/h

AMD 64 X2 Dual Core: (Based on ~12 results!)
Help Conquer Cancer - 12.86 cr/h
Nutricious Rice - 11.96 cr/h
Human Proteome Folding - 12.45 cr/h
Fight Childhood Cancer - 13.75 cr/h
Fight AIDS @Home - 13.21 cr/h
Clean Energy Project - 13.91 cr/h
Discover Dengue Drugs - 12.66 cr/h

Celeron 2.20GHz: (Based on ~45 results.)
Help Conquer Cancer - 6.75 cr/h
Nutricious Rice - 7.38 cr/h
Human Proteome Folding - 6.41 cr/h
Fight Childhood Cancer - 6.54 cr/h
Fight AIDS @Home - 6.56 cr/h
Discover Dengue Drugs - 6.80 cr/h

P4 3.20GHz HT: (Based on ~20 results!)
Help Conquer Cancer - 6.01 cr/h
Nutricious Rice - 6.09 cr/h
Fight Childhood Cancer - 5.64 cr/h
Fight AIDS @Home - 4.89 cr/h
Clean Energy Project - 6.10 cr/h
Discover Dengue Drugs - 5.92 cr/h

P4 2.40GHz:
Nutricious Rice - 6.17 cr/h
Human Proteome Folding - 4.97 cr/h
Flu Drug Research - no credit yet!

PentD 3.7GHz: Clocked to 4GHz.
Help Conquer Cancer - 9.56 cr/h
Nutricious Rice - 9.60 cr/h
Human Proteome Folding - 9.10 cr/h
Flu Drug Research - 10.10 cr/h
Fight AIDS @Home - 9.66 cr/h
Clean Energy Project - 10.45 cr/h
Discover Dengue Drugs - 9.49 cr/h

Hmmm, I wish I still had all those machines.

Note about above numbers...

It looks like something may have been changed. The numbers I had for the slower P4 were ~4 months old. Having just looked at today's number they are now:

P4 2.40GHz:
Nutricious Rice - 8.42 cr/h (up from 6.17)
Flu Drug Research - 8.50 cr/h

Okay I am struggling with understanding WCG amd my stats.

I got 584 points at midnights update. According to WCG I have Accumulated Points: 1,015,545 but on BOINCStats its World Community Grid 145,077.58.

I cannot see how 2x i7 + 1x Q6600 + 1x Operton x4 620 = 584 credits in a day.

I am beffudled.

Depends on the projects you are crunching. There are a couple of them (nutricious rice for the World is one) that have insane IR and quorums, due to the way they work(17 I think) so you may well have a large amount of pending.

WCG was on a different grid before it changed to BOINC. They still keep their original credit scheme on their site. For BOINC their credits get converted at 7 WCG credits per BOINC credit (which is right for your numbers).

Generally I get 12-14 credits/hr on low end dual cores (2GHz) and 27/hr on the 2.8Ghz MAC. This is better than Leiden/SZTAKI on all machines. Worse than Rosetta on the low end machines and better than Rosetta on the MAC. Worse than Einstein and CPDN on all machines. With all 8 cores on WCG I was doing around 2.000 - 2.500 / day... so 584 credits does seem low... ;(

Reeltime is probably right you're handing them in fast enough to build up a lot of "pending". Rice and Proteome Folding have large quorums (10 or 15 out of 19) but sometimes the worst are those that require 2 out of 2 results like Muscular Dystrophy. I have a 24 hour turnaround on the WUs and about 25% go pending for more than a day.
