Not sure it's working on my 1950x with AVX2 app. 34min into my 1st set of tasks and its only 55% done. My older 3770k with only AVX is 19min in and 66%.

It works, but slower than expected. Please try AVX version, it may be faster for you. Recently I read that PEXT instruction from BMI2 set is slow on AMD CPUs, and AVX2 app uses it in most performance-critical part. This can explain why app is so slow on AMD CPU.

Maybe AVX2 app without BMI instructions would be better here. I will take a look on this.


Yeah, I guess I meant it wasn't working as well as expected. Seeing big numbers put up by others.

Point/CPU Sec went from 0.0454 average to 0.0613 with the AVX app. A good 35% improvement on the 1950x.

Great job and thanks for another optimized app for BOINC!

The last several v6 tasks spent like a day at 100% so I aborted them.

Just the v7 tasks or the older v6? I have some of both in Linux. All but one v6 task has validated so far.

Thanks. I see it on Free-DC now. Here there was a comment about no stats yet so I wasn't sure if it was ready yet.

I'd rather have project specific badges than the generic Top 1%, Top 5% badges. Most project's don't have those though.

Is there a stats export for sites like Free-DC and BOINC Stats to pick up?

I agree with Daniel. The original ETA was 164 days. Yes, Days. Even at 92% it still shows 15 days to completion. That is different from reaching 100% and still crunching. That also happened to me.

Since the ETA was well past the deadline, BM went into panic mode and it paused other work. This is on a 3570k.
