What happened to the Completed link that used to be in the Lifetime Stats section of your account report? Is there another way to see what has completed?

Results under the My Account menu on the left.

I noticed a new [Merge Checked CPUs] button on the Computer Details page... so I tried it out and it seems to work ok, my only comment so far is that there's no way of specifying which computer details to keep, that is, what is the current-good-valid GUID/name/etc and which are the old-duplicate-invalid ones I want to merge into the first one. What happens if my current CPU gets merged into an old one, and then I continue to report results with the new one -- will the new one reappear, or does the merging process add a permanent pointer?

Can't happen. It always merges into the CPU that last reported to the server.

As a safety measure you can't merge cpu A into cpu B if A communicated with the server after B was created.

COOL!!! Worked great for me ... even merging 3 into 1 (in two passes of two).

The GHz-days credited and Work units completed on the CPU Properties page are not accurate but I don't think it is related to the Merge. It seems to be more out of whack for CPUs doing TF.

[petrw1]

Is it possible TF-LMH gets more credit per hour than TF?

My scenario (I think I have included the relevant stats):

CPU1:
PIII 866 doing TF-LMH
Averaging about 0.5 points per day
CPU Rolling Average 88%

CPU2:
PIII 1300 doing TF
Averaging about 0.33 points per day
CPU Rolling Average 55%

Both are set to run 24 hours a day but I think CPU2 may get shut down occasionally. I assume that is responsible for the 55%.

If I am ciphering correct then:
CPU1 is running at 866X88%=762Mhz Equivalent
CPU2 is running at 1300X55%=715Mhz Equivalent: 94% of CPU1 but getting about 66% the points.

Bummer.

I had some machines which were running two copies of mprime - one processing v4 work and one processing v5 work. Now in order to join them I will probably have to remove the GUID, let it create a fresh one, and merge all three, yeah?

Just for you --- Merge the two machines, you should get an error message. Then add "&date_override=99" to the URL and try again. Let me know if that works.

Software Version Windows,Prime95,v25.7,build 3
Model Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz
Features Dual core, Prefetch,SSE,SSE2
Speed 2.327 GHz (7.915 GHz P4 effective equivalent)
L1/L2 Cache 32 / 4096 KB
Computer Memory 2048 MB configured usage 200 MB day / 200 MB night

Software Version Windows64,Prime95,v25.7,build 4
Model Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
Features 4 core, Prefetch,SSE,SSE2,SSE4
Speed 2.833 GHz (5.557 GHz P4 effective equivalent)
L1/L2 Cache 32 / 6144 KB
Computer Memory 4094 MB configured usage 1600 MB day / 1600 MB night

It seems odd that the Core2 Processor while slower has a P4 equivalent 42% more than the Quad Processor.

Could it be that for the Core2 it is accounting for both cores and for the Quad it is only accounting for 1?

Or does Build 4 compute differently?

James Heinrich noticed a new [Merge Checked CPUs] button on the Computer Details page...

... and so did I, but there are no checkboxes for me to check my 2 registered computers. (I tried just checking the "I am sure ..." box and clicking on the "Merged checked CPUs" button, but when the page redisplayed, there was no change.)

Details that may matter:

The first computer listed is "Manual testing". Last Activity date is "2008-08-13 11:54", in this hard-for-me-to-read yellowish (or-greenish?) color. (I have red-green-color-deficient vision.) Under "status" is "http://mersenne.org/images/yellow_light.gif!! U".

The second one is "v4_computers". Last Activity date is in normal color. Under "status" is "http://mersenne.org/images/yellow_light.gif U".

Then there's a footnote in hard-for-me-to-read color: "!!At least one CPU is 90 days or more unreported and appears lost.".
