Hello all, I'm late on this notice but from what I see in the other thread we should have a thread specific to the current POTM.
 
I'm dubbing this one "For the Love of the Universe" for obvious reasons!
 
No official event to sign up for...just run Universe@home this week and have some fun!
This project is CPU only (so you can still hunt for Primes with your GPUs) with no special config or setup.
 
See how many points you can get before the weekend and help research how stars evolve and other related science-y things!

    Wow these are some long task.   5-6 hours per task
     
    Also, reviewing their message boards, there seems to be an issue with some task going into the two day mark.. Just keep an eye on your task!

    Tasks are a little longer but even my Raspberry Pi3 can do about 1,000 points in a day (~4-5 tasks).

    Awesome, that reminds me to setup my RPi.   Not the 3rd version tho :\  
     
    I switched over most of my stuff, it'll be a bit cause I want them to finish their current task.     Looking forward to the outcome!

    My 6700 is running 6 tasks at roughly 4 hrs. Look like my i3 is running 4 at 6+ hours.

    So is this a project better with HT on or off? 
    Currently I have it enabled...

    Last time I checked the time to complete one task was the same with HT on or with HT Off.
     
    Some completed Tasks
    HT On (Avg: 21,743.47/21,741.55) *Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v4 @ 2.40GHz
    6.03985375/6.039320694
    and
    HT Off  (Avg: 20,328.84/20,325.46)*Xeon(R) CPU E7- 4870  @ 2.40GHz
    5.646900556/5.645961389

    It all depends on the cpu of course, Which flavor of the chipset itself.. All vary by a good margin....

    If that's the case then HT on is the way to go.
    If you can do 2 time the numbers of tasks in less than 2 time the time, it is worth it.

    Also agree with you both, Bill's...
    Some of the older chipset's without AVX and SSE are a lot slower.. Which is why I normally run with no HT
     
    No one knows until it is tested...Great info as always

    Tasks are a little longer but even my Raspberry Pi3 can do about 1,000 points in a day (~4-5 tasks).


    WOW! 20 Hours time to complete one Task on your Pi.




    LOL.  The RPi is not really "worthwhile" to run Boinc tasks on, but Universe is one of the better projects for it.
    It's closer to 18 hrs/task...that little PC has done 158k lifetime for me on Universe

    The first time I saw that ARM processor running linux I PMed Opolis and asked what is that (not even considering the pi)
