Topic 187315

I'm not sure exactly but i am pretty sure that BOINC Manager is showing a lot LESS CPU time than the current Einstein WU's that i am doing. Admitted they are my first two Einstein WU's but it just seems that the numbers are not adding up right.

Ok i just checked...According to the Messages tab, work was started 30 minutes ago, time now displayed is almost 15 minutes...that's quite a difference.

Any thoughts anyone?

If your computer is busy, it will show the whole time that the task was running under messages, but only the time that einstein would have used to do the calculation if it was running alone at 100% CPU. Check for your processor usage.

BANG! that was u hitting the nail on the head...the cause of the problem? for some reason the CPDN client is still running though work on that project is paused currently. so my two Einstein WU's are sharing their half of the CPU and only getting a quarter. Possible bug in BOINC 4.59 somehwere there then.

If you really want to use beta client, get 4.60 - that's the latest now.

Edit: just remembered, there are bugs with beta client with displaying graphics - graphics do not show, but the processor is used for them.

Thank You ShuR

this answers me some suspicious notice why I couldn't see any graphics from E@H with the CC 4.60.( only the graphics from E@H don't work, Seti- and CPDN-graphic work fine)

a big +1 for U

sincerely lB
