Message 47703 - Posted: 13 Oct 2007, 20:24:52 UTC

I propose: ADD number core's in CPU.
--example--
instead of:
"GenuineIntel
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11]"

make -->
"GenuineIntel 4x Core
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11]"

-------
For this purpose that it would be visible more accurately, what is the computer
And at once its achievements are visible

Why? As long as you can see that the CPU description lists it as a "Core 2 Quad", then you already can see it's a quad-core. And as for the Core 2 Extreme's--well, you can simply see the "number of CPU's" field right below the CPU model field.

but I propose it to NOT GO to "https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=614416"
see 'Number of CPU"

Ah the data you are talking about is directly taken from the Operating System and it is whatever the OS reports.

They are stored in the database, and the number of CPU's is kept seperate.
they are like that so the server knows wha to do.

Do do what you want alters the 'display' and it becomes a more expensive transaction for very little benefit. It would be much simpler for them to add the number of effective CPU in a new column.


But go have a look at the code and see if it's an easy fix.

The fields you are looking for are
<p_vendor> giving for example GenuineIntel
<p_model> Intel Pentium processor 2GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 7 Stepping 8]


and to add to the code some some text and <p_ncpus> no of CPU's value.

The project may be able to do it...

P.S. There is no way you could make it CPU or Core with the current boinc code as far as I know.

You'll get something like x8 or x4 but it may not be what the actual CPU is
it could be x2 physical with x4 core and it owul report as x8 CPU

It completely satisfies that that I offer

but I propose it to NOT GO to "https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=614416"
see 'Number of CPU"

See, it does show the number of CPU's in a system right on the system's specs page:

As far as I can tell, that seems to be exactly what you're looking for--yet the current solution doesn't require the BOINC client to edit the CPU info, and instead just take it directly from the OS.

The top-host-list is limited to top-1000 anyway, and isn't intended for anything except a quick overview. For detailed stats, BOINC-projects supplies full stats-dumps, and anyone can download these and make their own stats. Or, you can rely on some of the BOINC stats-sites that is already available, like BoincStats or BoincSynergy.

Both of these includes #cpu's in the listings, BoincStats even seems to try splitting-up in #cpu and total #cores...
