RE: Expected magnitude for CPU projects
One source of error might be that some people do not use all threads/cpu-time and therefore reach lower RAC than reachable with their CPU in theory. I also find the discrepancy between Intel and AMD a little suspicious.
But it's great that you started of with this, it is important information for new users and also for everyone who tries to optimise their system. I just started an experiment of running almost all CPU-projects on my Threadripper 1950X (32 threads) to get some estimate of the relative earnings for all the projects. link to the steemit article.
Yeah the thing about only running a few threads is an issue. Additionally the slow decay of Rac means that there is a lot of data that has to be ignored from people who have switched projects.
Which project in particular are you looking at for the Intel vs AMD results?
Well just a 1700 doing 14x more mag than the 7700 seems a bit too far off. Except if there is some insane twist in the ODLK project that prefers AMD by that much.
Oh, thats because ODLK has only been on the whitelist for a couple days. Someone could have switched their machine over early and skewed the results. That why it highlighted in yellow. The sourcefinder results are also suspect because those results can also be manipulated since the work units are limited.
Additionally there is limited data for the 7700 which is hurting its statistics. They should perform at least as well as the 6700 in all projects.
okay, now it makes more sense the longer I look at it. The difference can also be due to the higher number of threads of the AMD CPUs.
For my project, I would like to read out the date and the cpu-time I used for a task from each project. Do you have an idea on how I could extract that data from the project homepages?
Assuming you are solo mining:
go to your account page, then to hosts, then find the computer you are looking for based on its configuration and click on tasks. This will bring up a table of all tasks you have been sent as well as the status and how long they took to complete.
If you are in the pool you need to look up the pools stats and find your computer in the list and there will be the option to view its tasks.
you can also read the average time to complete a task from the /stats/host.gz file
yeah, I know that I could do it manually. But my CPU does 32 Tasks at once, so something between 200-1000 Tasks a day. Typing all of that into a txt file would pretty much be impossible.
