FAD, 275 hits 3days still going - Tech Support Forums

bthom70 · April 14th, 2003, 08:17 AM

WOW, this unit Im working on keeps getting bigger. At 60% it was 114 then 75% 150, now 99.9% 275 and hasnt moved in 16 hours from 99.9%.

Am I missing something or is there not a way to modify the CPU usage?
I see 59-61% CPU in the info screen never higher. With a higher CPU usage these jobs would get done faster.

Ummh FAD should run at near enough max useage of the System Idle times.

Is the other 40% system idle time??!?

ANd yes you will get long jobs.

but do not worry it is srunching it is just teh status percentage bar does not update all that often. But hopefully taht will be ficed in a later version.

Look at the job info for more details of how far it is completed teh job.

Running FaD without the graphics will make it run faster too.

yeah, i just recently had one of those molecules that parked on 99.9% for about 12 hours, and then when i checked on it again, it was 42% into the next job

Think that's bad? My P4 finally finished it's current job. After 4 days, it had 528 hits.

Ahem,

12 days,

88.6% complete

6 Hits !!!!!

But then it is only a P266

Patience and persistance - Yeah right!

Oh, I remember when I had a 600+ hitter and it had taken over 5 days, then it messed up during upgrading to the newest beta and it was lost forever...

We must Keep 'em Crunching!!!

Have you got anything other than FAD running? I've never seen the CPU usage drop below 90 % except when I've experimented running SETI or UD at the same time.Where are you getting the 59-61% figure from?Do you meen the CPU rating in the Think Job Information window? If so this is not a measure of CPU usage but a benchmark figure calculated every 30 min and used in the new points system with the " average" system getting a rating of 100 the points are calculated by averaging the CPU ratings over the length of the job and multiplying them by the hours taken to complete the job.

NOte the CPU value is only available for the beta test people. So not not panic if you do not have it.
