New SETI client slower?

[earthman]

It seems that the 3.03 SETI client is alot slower than the previous one...has anyone else noticed this????

 

[Robor]

earthman: Yep, it's much slower than the 3.0 client. The reason is it's doing more analysis of the WU's. Good for science but bad for stats.

earthman, My TBird went from about 5 hours to about 9 hours with 3.03

 

[CurtOien]

Yep, it's slower.
We are doing more analysis on each WU which give us a better chance of finding ET and also saves on bandwidth for Berkeley.

 

[Wingnut]

That is really lame!!!! I have also noticed it is slower...went from about 8.5 hrs. per WU to almost 14 hrs!!!

Anyone know how to get 3.0 back???

Just uninstall the 3.3 and reinstall the 3.0 that what I did. My time went from 6.5hours to 9 or 10 hours. I'll run the 3.0 till I have to change. I hope you've got your 3.0 copy back up somewhere.

NOPE!!!! Deleted it!!!! AAAGGGHHH!

Man,I should have read a little about it before installing...says right there on the home page:



<< NOTE ABOUT 3.03: This version contains significantly increased science analysis, and therefore runs slower than previous versions. Please see this page for more details. >>

Wingnut send me an email with your email address and I'll email it to you, the 3.0ver it just about 750k.

Yep It slower about 80-90 Hours on my P100 laptop

With version 3.0.3 I noted that the number of floating point operations increased by about 50%. With 3.0 the average &quot;normal&quot; WU requires 2.83 TeraFLOPs to process, while version 3.0.3 states that 4.11 TeraFLOPs will be required. I got this info from SetiSpy.

WJ...
That'll work...THANKS!!!

 

[cory]

it is much slower my 1.1 tbird takes about 8 hours

but we will all have to upgrade to it
at some point. ( i am only running it on 2 cpu's right now
and will wait for awhile before i upgrade all the others)

 

[snow patrol]

Aren't you guys getting your priorities wrong? It's supposed to be for science, not so that you can brag about your stats

It's slower because it's doing more analysis...

 

[JWMiddleton]

Quoting someone famous(or, infamous) &quot;...it's the STATS, stupid!&quot;

It went something like that.

I totally agree with ya' Snowy but, it's kind of a mixed bag as far as feelings toward the new client. Those of us without 1Ghz machines are going to start looking like some major slackers--our stats will suffer just like everyone else's but ya' gotta admit it hurts. Just a little?

It's going to be hard to watch our averages slip away but, oh well! I guess I would rather find ET and if this new client does in fact help the cause then I guess I'm behind it 100%.



CUZ I BELIEVE BRUTHA!!!!
