This is a CPU challenge, sieve so HT can be on
 PGs challenge thread.

Yep Good timing for January. I will have 2 2Ps and 1 4P ready to rock, or as we say Ready to Crunch.
I will be their in support of our Great Team
POTM: EVGA Masters of the Universe Start Time 2017-01-16 End Time 2017-01-20

yay more fun. i'm game. I might just keep PG running through the challenge.  Using it as a stress test for my OC right now.  Playing with new toys ^_^.

HT is Enabled on all Computers.

(Sorry no graph All the other rigs are WIP)

I will add it in and add some other CPUs as well.
I will create Separate Chart for my AMD CPUs

Bill, is that with HT on or off. Also if you can give the number of threads please.
A system maybe slower per Wu, but if you're dropping 48 at a time, that can make up for it.
Thanks.

bcavnaugh, is there a reason you do not use all threads??

bcavnaugh, is there a reason you do not use all threads??

And how much of an overclock are you running? A few hundred hurtz can mean a lot in PPD.

I like to leave one Core Per CPU Free and on my rigs that Fold I leave one Thread Per GPU Free.
OC to 4300-4400MHz for the most part. This tasks seems to like Fast CPU Speeds.
I cannot OC my T630 (E5-2680v4) but the CPUs do run at 2899MHz or 2.88GHz
 

Awesome info as always bcavnaugh, Much appreciated.
 
Happy New Year to Everyone. All the Best for 2017.

So should I Disable HT or Disable HT on my E5-2680?

I would say keep it on since you can do 2x more WUs in less that 2x the time.
HT off for LLR,  HT on for Sieve
On the last day you may want to turn it off if you can squeeze in another round in that shorter time frame

You should Keep HT Enabled (On) for Sieve Projects and Disabled (Off) for LLR Projects.

End Testing running all Cores and All Threads. Also set the lowest MHz to 4300.
No change when running all but this stops me from using the GPU.
But for testing it is nice to know what we can expect of our hardware.
Good thing the tasks run short, doing this with tasks that take over a few hours is really hard to test out.

Awesome info Bill, Thanks for taking the time running tasks and to show us your results..   

Yes agreed, good info bcav, looks like no advantage to HT off.  (Vote for bcav)
 
wizanhi, I have 2 2600k's and tested Linux mint against Win7 and found no advantage for Linux on these work units. I have noticed better performance on  WCG for one and will continue testing on other projects when time permits.
 
I wish good/smooth runnings for all on this rather long 10 day event. It's a marathon not a sprint.
