My i7 has just completed the _8 task from workunit 148368_Hs_TCGA-KLF6_wu-154_1543433935389 with 57:17:44 runtime, 41:07:29 of it being between the 15th and 16th checkpoints.

The over deadline _2 task was completed by a Linux ARMv7 system after running for 320:02:11, and pro rata the long checkpoint would have taken almost 10 days! Aaron deserves a special commendation for sticking with it.

As expected for TCGA tasks, the fact that it's been completed by a Windows and Linux system means that validation is inconclusive. 4 other tasks from the WU have timed out, 3 have been aborted and 2 are in progress.

The other task mentioned in my previous message was pre-empted for 9 hours and is now running again:


Now completed with 30:52:42 runtime and 16 checkpoints made, validation pending.

3 of those tasks have now completed:

One of the queued tasks has also completed today:


  • 148365_Hs_TCGA-AR_wu-34_1543429216393_2- 12:37:28 runtime, 19 checkpoints, longest interval 4:08:26 for #10, validation inconclusive (my task was run on an Intel i7-6700K, Windows 10 system using v1.11 (sse2); _1 task ran for 28:04:24 on an AMD FX-8320E, Linux 4.4.76-1-default system using v1.10 (fma))

My hyper-threaded i7-6700K Windows 10 system has 1 validated TCGA task (148365_Hs_TCGA-AR_wu-124_1543429375131_2, 561.1 credits for 11:59:57 runtime), 1 pending validation (148368_Hs_TCGA-KLF6_wu-102_1543433840285_2, 9:10:54 runtime), 4 running and 5 in its work queue.

The running tasks are:

My Windows 10 i7-6700K @ 4.00GHz system is hyper-threaded to 8 cores. When Gene Network Application 0.10 windows_x86_64 was released it was initially only running the avx version (65 tasks). That was followed by a spell running the sse2 version (38 tasks) and its current work allocation has 29 tasks running the fme version. Performance figures so far are:

  • 65 completed avx tasks:

    • Average run time 43:11 (min 41:09, max 49:50)
    • Average CPU time 42:10 (min 40:54, max 43:53)


  • 38 completed sse2 tasks:

    • Average run time 45:04 (min 43:42, max 46:36)
    • Average CPU time 44:25 (min 43:01, max 46:13


  • 9 completed fme tasks:

    • Average run time 41:31 (min 40:02, max 42:33)
    • Average CPU time 40:48 (min 39:45, max 41:43)


CPU time gives a more realistic indication of the performance (the avx task with run time 49:50 had CPU time 42:18), and at the moment the timings are pointing towards the fme version being the fastest on that computer (the sample size is too small to say that it's statistically significant, but the minimum and maximum CPU times suggest that's likely to be the case).
