Dpad

[[XC] riptide]

DPAD stats are back working now so i feel a little better speaking about DPAD now.

There was 2 people crunching recently on this team (me included). This project is IDEAL for comps that have no or limited internet connection.

(Wes, i'm thing about you here. Having a few boxes idling away 'cos of dial up?)

I believe it is the easiest project to sneakernet and is pretty much hands free.

I've had a nice little start on this and at poresent have 2 x 3.0Ghz P4s 24/7 (3.2Ghz and other is stock ;) ) and a part time 2.8 Ghz Lappy (stock HP's are so loud)

Particle/high energy physics was my one of favourite classes at college so I'm happy

Ha ha. I had made the first post... nobody replied at all...

Then I make that post above and they all come rushing in... and guess who gets in first? Yes... Dirty Old Dave looking for :banana::banana::banana::banana:! ha ha!

Debbie does a particle beam... funny guy! :rofl:

Hey RiP: I thought your favorite college subject was surfing and the art of making tea :)
:rolleyes: Well my real favourite college subject was surfing beer and lady waves! I used to actually sleep a lot in college. Sit up right in front of the lecturer sometimes and nod off... right in front of his face.

Ok I'm giving DPAD another run to see what my p4 accomplishes, Muon :banana::banana::banana::banana:pit reckons it can do 17K a day :D. Anyone know if this is an intel or amd friendly project? or if celeries are of any use on it? :toast:

Also do I have to put the [XS] tag infront of my user when signing up the client or just use melymel2789?

infront or behind. Doens't matter. Do you not have the client installed already? I will have a P4 3.0Ghz stock and I think that was giving me 13-15k a day. Whats Muon :banana::banana::banana::banana:pit?

He he.:D read my first post here about the stats. Actually the stats are a little bit all over the place, but they always do come round. Stephen Whatshisname (guy that runs it) seems to have stats issues every so often, but by and large it works out fine. Mely, are you gonna try take me on for Numero Uno! ;) I've only got a little old p4 3gig on this.

That's good to hear as long as I get my points eventually I'll be happy :p:. I was thinking about challenging you for the lead but then I remembered you now have a fleet of xeons and p4's and this p4 is all I have that's any good at DPAD :(. I'll see if I can find a few more but at about the 10K a day I'm doing now you shouldn't have to worry for a long time :rolleyes: . :toast:

Baaaah..... I only have one P4 3.0Ghz allocated to this project. the reason been its my work PC and the internet is locked down good. No open ports to use, and its all protected. i can't even access Free-DC anymore form here and I'm surprised they haven't locked out these forums yet.

[[XC] DragonOrta]

Is it just me, or does DPAD automatically use all cores? I have it installed on my 2.4ghz X2 and Task Manager is reporting it using 99% of CPU. I haven't seen something using 99% on this machine for a LONG time.

[WesM63]

Riptide,
Can you shoot me a PM on how to set this up?

[[XC] DragonOrta]

It's pretty easy. I don't think that you even need to set-up a user or anything.

Just create a user.txt file in the folder that you run DPAD out of, and put in WesM63[XS] (if you're going to be using WesM63, if XSTM, then XS_The_Machine[XS]) and either run it through command prompt with muon1_cmdline.bat or in the background with muon1_background.exe.

Yes.! Same with HT on a P4 It takes it all over. Very aggressive approach in my opinion. Just adjust the priorities and affinity for your liking ;)

Wes- Since your on dialup, do you want me to send details on no-internet setup or internet setup?

Anyways I'll make this public for everyone to see, if thats ok.. any questions then send PM ok with you?

1) Download the compressed folder v443d.rar from the dl section of the muon1 website. Extract said archive.

2) First off users.txt file. Put in your name either followed or trailed by [XS]

Mine for example is [XS]riptide

Thats it... when you upload results later ... you will be on the team.

3) If you have no internet (or slow dialup, Wes ;) ) but you can upload in your own time or from work on a memory stick (US: Thumb drive :rolleyes: )
Run the batch file 'config_nonet.bat'
If you have net run the batch 'config_net.bat'
Now on to the config file. I'm gonna attach mine in this post. It is setup for no-net/sneakernetting. Most of the options are self explanatary anyways, but its quicker to copy/paste my file :cool:
You can leave the config file alone if you have 'always on' net.

And thats it... run either muon1.exe if you want to see the schitt happening on screen. Looks good by the way. Pretty project.
But run muon1_background for well.... background running.

Your reults will be generated into a results.txt and copied to a results.dat file.

Now for sneakernetting the results back up... copy the folder totally onto a pendrive. And when you want to upload results... you transfer (cut and paste) the results.txt file to the pendrive folder everytime, and off you go to a DSL connection or whatever and run manualsend.bat

. PS: it still works ok on dialup, but if you have always on at work... use that.

Wes.... bring it on! I knew you had unharnessed power. And this project ideal.

EDIT: I'd like also to take this oppurtunity to thank Carlos (Empeppe from Free-DC) on the various bits of help he gave me with setting up a few projects like DPAD and SOB etc.

;) Never!!

I plan on getting it installed on the other machines this weekend. Gotta upgrade to Server 2003 on my file server that way i can Remote Desktop to it. (no kb/mouse). The other machines, just need the files copied and ran.

[WesM63]

I just uploaded some, so i guess we'll see. I think i did it right. Copied the folder to my flash drive and ran manual send.bat.

[[XC] DragonOrta]

OK, I'm finally getting some stuff up from my X2 that can't find the wireless network anymore.

"NB: This project is temporarily out of service as some rewriting is needed of the results database. This notice will be removed when this is finished. Results sent in will be stored on the FTP servers, though it's probably best to try another project for the next few weeks." http://www.stephenbrooks.org/muon1/:rolleyes:

DPAD is back... ish! Looks like yer'man Stephen Brooks is cranking up the stats servers again. And i got a niceish dump. Nice of wes to get a few points too! :clap:

[[XC] riptide]

Right. DPAD seems to be back on track. All results are intact as suspected. I just uploaded a few myself there now! So is ANYONE gonna try me on this project. Anyone?

[[XC] riptide]

Big thanks to 4x44n for joining up. Now are you gonna make a run for No. 1?

[[XC] 4X4N]

I'll just leave it running for a while. What should I expect from a x2 3800 at 2.7? I got started around 8:00 last night. So far a little over 29,000.

[[XC] riptide]

I'll just leave it running for a while. What should I expect from a x2 3800 at 2.7? I got started around 8:00 last night. So far a little over 29,000.
TBH no idea really. There is a benchmarking thread in the project forums and till recently I think multi proc AMD systems usually done well. Until Core2Duo at least. You'll notice that the App itself nicely takes over all cores and same on a P4HT machine. Both threads invaded!:D

[[XC] 4X4N]

Yes, very easy to get started. I just made the user.txt and eveything else was at the defaults. It automatically used both cores, nice. Now, d2ol need to do this with their app. Up to 34,000 now. I guess it updates often.

[[XC] riptide]

Well... now thats the sore point. Every so often the stats take it in the a$$. See its a one man band, and I think he has trouble sorting out the code somtimes. Also you results i think are sent to volunteers servers first.. then they are taken off them to the central one. So its not exactly enterprise backed project... but they pretty much get everything sorted out in the end after any problems.

EDIT: Just noticed the stats overall. We're gonna get creamed by OCUk and Boinc Australia. Time to switch on the jets methinks.

What's needed to hold them off? Can't have ocuk passing :p:

EDIT: I have removed the A64 and P4 from D2OL and put them onto DPAD and atm am loving the low ram usage :D. Have they sorted the stats problems out yet? I may switch my main focus to this permanently if they have.

Baaah. a few rigs will keep them at bay I think. I notice that on the E6600 temps are way low. Therefore the clocks are a little higher.

UC. You don't need available work. You can run this project without internet ad infinitem. Thats the beauty of it. It has all its needs in the zip download.

Thats the only relatively easy points we're gonna get. Everything after this demands more rigs if we want quick points.

EDIT: Well one or 2 more really.

Right. For now I'll be putting DPAD on my P4 3.0Ghz at work. 24/7 hopefully. Should be good for 15k per day. I see Mely laid down 64k. How many months for that 4400 X2 ? :rolleyes: :)

I feel a DPAD charge on... I wonder will others join in?

[[XC] 4X4N]

I might start up dpad again after I get us into the top ten in riesel llr. I stopped running it because I saw that it would take quite a while to move up further. If we could organize a group push on it, I would be up for that.

I just noticed that my points seem low. I though I was close to 700k :confused:

[[XC] riptide]

I reckon we should have a bit of a go. We'll nail those 'members of starfleet' in about 2 weeks if a few of us started again.

How much damage can a 3GHz Conroe perform in a given day? Is this a BOINC project or does it have a seperate client? Can I stockpile work and drop a big bomb(I like doing this heh)? Get me info and I'll make an educated decision to help you guys out. I'll just need ~10 days or so to finish up what I'm working on, maybe a bit longer. We need to have a DC-vault roll call sometime to see who does what. I also need to update that DC-Vault list, been a month since I said I'd update

Yes you can stockpile work.... loads of work and upload when you want.

Sorry Mel about the mixup with the 3800 :D

[[XC] DragonOrta]

I'd say about 40k per day from a 3ghz dual core A64. I can't remember how much better C2D is at Dpad, but you can count on at least that much.

[[XC]melymel]

My C2D at 3.2ghz has managed just over 20K in 9 hours so should be good for about 54K per day if that helps anyone.

Muon's client is great it is easy to run on dual core (just run the .exe) also this project is great for dumping :D. No stupid benchmarks like boinc.

There is one thing with DPAD. it won't effectively use totally 100% on a C2D. And with a kent it will jump from 70-90% usage. So i suggest get something else to run along side it to take up the few %'s by been clever with the priority in taskmanager.

[[XC] gomeler]

Well I guess I can do DPAD and PSP:S side by side, Sieving will steal ALL clockcycles so I'll just have it on a lower priority than DPAD. Once my VGA is shipped to me I'll start stockpiling the points. XSTM needs to make a statement in a few projects :)

[[XC]melymel]

I was testing the X2 earlier and it can do almost 30K in 24 hours which at 1.8ghz isn't bad and my c2d only does 54K in 24 hours. So from these I worked out you get:

8.33K a day per AMD ghz
8.43K a day per C2D ghz

Which is very wierd can anyone else throw up some results please?

Actually Gomeler go to the end of the thread. theres C2D, one Quad and a bunch of p4's and high end A64's.

melymel.... it seems that your result is not far off the mark. It would seem Athlon64 x2 is roughly equivalent to C2D at same clockspeed. Also the bench program only works for one core it seems. SO you have to x 2 to get realistic figures.

[KaptainBlaZzed]

I just put my 3.0C on DPAD.

how do i know how many results i have saved up?
What do i put as my name to get my DPAD points to show up in my sig?

[KaptainBlaZzed]

OK, figured out how to count my results.

does DPAD upload the results automatically or do i have to run the manualupload.bat file?

[[XC]melymel]

@KB: To get it to show in your sig you'll have to wait until the stats update and show you but it'll be a number rather than a name.

You can use MuonC.ockpit to show how many points you have in the result file to be uploaded and it's the muon equivalent to boinview or f@hmon. link: http://www.v8.franken.de/Muon/MC.htm

You can configure the client to send results automatically or to only send when you run manualsend.bat, you can do this by using the config.txt file in the dpad clients directory. Default is for it to auto send when it has a certain number of results stored.

cheers for the help :toast:

[[XC] DragonOrta]

OK, figured out how to count my results.

You set to send the results automatically or not in the Config file.

I use MuonCMD, which will start DPAD automatically, and show you the amount of points that your current results are worth. It's very handy.

EDIT: Finally found where I downloaded MuonCMD from. This post (http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showpost.php?p=98169&postcount=11) on the FDC forums has it as an attachment.

3.8GHz on air or water? If on air then please can some of that air and send it over here, I'm maxing around 3.4GHz with a Scythe Ninja and 1 fan. Perhaps I should step it up to 4 fans :p:

[[XC] DragonOrta]

This is using the water loop I've set for when I get a q6600 after the pricecuts (Apogee GT, MCW30, DDC-2 w/ Petras top, MCR-320 w/ 140cfm Deltas), although I had this particular cpu running at 3.7ghz on a Big Typhoon a couple months ago in my basement (it's now in my bedroom)

I will say one thing, I like the ASUS P5N-E SLi board. We'll just have to see if it'll clock the quad high. If not, It'll be time to sell the old P5W DH and get the new DFI 965-S board, :D

It would be nice to get enough people on this to be over 1 million a day. I've put 2 x2 amd's on it. I don't want to pull any more off of wcg. I've got 3 c2d's going on riesel llr. There are some good vault points there too.

I'll probably be switching a Powerstream from my AMD setup that's running the cheapest s939 I could find on Newegg at 2.8ghz to my E6600 sometime over the weekend, if I have time, and that will be put on Dpad.

Once I get some money put in the bank, I might be getting the Corsair HX520 from buy.com if it's still on sale by then, so I can have all three of my systems running.

I added 3 cores to DPAD today. They're a little faster than the sad little lonely core that I had on here. I also added one to RieselSieve LLR. We passed 3 teams in RieselSieve Sieve. I was waiting for this day so I could move some off of Sieve.

[[XC] 4X4N]

It has been a good last couple of days in the vault. We moved up another spot in riesel llr, a couple in dpad, and 3 in riesel sieving. You have been kicking some ass in the sieving glenn :toast:

In a little over two weeks we should be up to 9th in llr. Then I think I try out the sob sieving. We really need some more points there.

I've started work on SOB Sieve, just finishing up the 8T of PSP S ranges I have reserved :p: Once PSP S is done, then I'll be doing WCG + SOB S fulltime. SOB S is really easy, just reserve a huge range and come back in a month.

OK I'm in :) I wanted to just run the screensaver on one core of a C2D here, but running the screensaver just gives a blank screen - same with the muon1 executable. Running the background exe uses 50% cpu (I set threads to 1) as expected, and Muon:banana::banana::banana::banana:pit says it's running OK, but I'd still quite like to see this screensaver; any ideas? I'm at 1440x900 here, widescreen problem? I tried setting the res manually in config.txt, but no luck.

edit - rofl I didn't swear, the prog is called muon c0ckpit :D

[KaptainBlaZzed]

just run muon1.exe from windows not the dos command prompt.

it will show some crazy stuff.

[jimwah]

Hmm crazy stuff sounds cool :D Well it appears to be running well as a background app & playing nicely with fah on the other core, so I will leave this rig as it is - and have a play with the screensaver on an a64 over the weekend.

He's said this before when the last time the stats went mad. Last time however, he was able to sort it out.

I really like how this project can just run all the time, no upkeep or anything except to upload the results. So I think I'm going to keep running it on a few computers, just in case. For some reason I just don't want to stop.

[[XC] DragonOrta]

Yeah, it's a project that I love to run in the background of other projects like EoN, which don't always have work to do, because it gets out of the way of everything when set to Background priority.

I'll probably keep running it.

LOL. You have to create a 'user.txt' file. It needs your name with a [XS] tag in front of it. Mine for example is [XS]riptide. This 'user.txt' file has to exist in the DPAD folder along with the rest of the files. If you have already submitted the results... well maybe they have been uploaded as Anonomous.???

[[XC] riptide]

riptide;1797986']Yes.! Same with HT on a P4 It takes it all over. Very aggressive approach in my opinion. Just adjust the priorities and affinity for your liking ;)

Wes- Since your on dialup, do you want me to send details on no-internet setup or internet setup?

Anyways I'll make this public for everyone to see, if thats ok.. any questions then send PM ok with you?

1) Download the compressed folder v443d.rar from the dl section of the muon1 website. Extract said archive.

2) First off users.txt file. Put in your name either followed or trailed by [XS]

Mine for example is [XS]riptide

Thats it... when you upload results later ... you will be on the team.

3) If you have no internet (or slow dialup, Wes ;) ) but you can upload in your own time or from work on a memory stick (US: Thumb drive :rolleyes: )
Run the batch file 'config_nonet.bat'
If you have net run the batch 'config_net.bat'
Now on to the config file. I'm gonna attach mine in this post. It is setup for no-net/sneakernetting. Most of the options are self explanatary anyways, but its quicker to copy/paste my file :cool:
You can leave the config file alone if you have 'always on' net.

And thats it... run either muon1.exe if you want to see the schitt happening on screen. Looks good by the way. Pretty project.
But run muon1_background for well.... background running.

Your reults will be generated into a results.txt and copied to a results.dat file.

Now for sneakernetting the results back up... copy the folder totally onto a pendrive. And when you want to upload results... you transfer (cut and paste) the results.txt file to the pendrive folder everytime, and off you go to a DSL connection or whatever and run manualsend.bat

. PS: it still works ok on dialup, but if you have always on at work... use that.

Cool. I say we take on the KNights again. This time I won't phuck up 150-200k worth of results files. :(

AS to my earlier post (which you didn't answer :) ) Are you downloading updated best results? You should! The client doesn't do it itself. Has to be manually done. May give you more points. they are put on the stephen Brooks site eavery day. You DL them and manually add them into your results.dat files. It seems to be a iteration like process. Carrying out simulaitons with the best results leads to even better results. :up:

Ya. Thst what the leets do. Download the optimized files. I'll be joining you soon hopefully on V6 also. :D

Well done SKycrane.

http://stephenbrooks.org/muon1/faq/

" // Sample Results Files
What? Sometimes I produce files called this. They contain a selection of results, including many of the best ones, from the current stage of the project. If you add them to your database, Muon1 will be able to use this information to produce better designs.

How do I use the sample file? Decompress it if necessary and either use it to replace your results.dat, or edit your results.dat in WordPad and append the new results (being careful not to merge lines). The latter option will mean Muon1 can use your old results as well as the downloaded ones, so is a better choice.

Why doesn't this file just contain the top 100 results? The very best results at any one time in the project can be quite similar. It is better for the algorithm not to be swamped by repeats of the same good result, which can drown out other possibilities that still need to be explored.

"

Nice job on DPAD!

I am in this with a little bit. I've upated my results.dat file after reading your posts. I'll add some more later after we pass a couple of teams in RieselSieve LLR.

[Paladin]

There are two sample files available for d/l, both with the same date. Which is the correct one? :confused:
Linac88MHz900MeV6 (http://stephenbrooks.org/muon1/samplefiles/linac88mhz900mev6_100.txt)
Linac88MHz900MeV1 (http://stephenbrooks.org/muon1/samplefiles/linac88mhz900mev1_100.txt)

P.S. Milkyway was doing more than just server-down for me, it started giving computation errors & WU that never ended.

BOTH if you want. Combine them into the existing results.dat or combine them into its own and call it results.dat.

Didn't think you'd be interested again, Paladin.:p:;)

[Paladin]

I'm still unhappy about 1/4 of my pts diappearing like Brigadoon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigadoon), but I still don't like BOINC's random benchmark (invariably right when you're playing a game to make sure you get an unfairly small point return for the rest of the week) and I'm a team player, so I'll help with a push.

Already passed the easily passable in Riesel Sieve (http://stats4.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=team&proj=rsi&team=454), so time for a project change again to maximize points/day. [Gads, I'm such a stats whore!]

[Paladin]

Neither Wordpad nor Sun Office would let me manipulate the 39mb results file so I did the following:

copy results.dat+linac88mhz900mev1_100.txt+linac88mhz90 0mev6_100.txt new.txt

Then backed up the old results.dat, deleted it, and renamed new.txt to results.dat

Seems to be working.

[KaptainBlaZzed]

we passed the Knights Who Say Ni.:yepp:

Way to go team.:clap::up:

[[XC] riptide]

^^^ Yep. Faster than I thought :)

[[XC] riptide]

The Knights have folded (EDIT: pun unintentional:) ) some what... Zero the past few days. And so has AMD Users just ahead of us. :) Good going. A nice killing was had.

[glennpat]

I am still half a day away of getting some of my cores off of RisselSieve LLR, before I put them on here. I got 754 vault points on SOB sieve today. Their "next range" just started moving again so some of my factors found via p-1 factoring got upgraded from 35 points to over 3 million each.

i am in the process of upgrading my moms computer to a Q6700, so i will have a new quad soon. Plus i will not have to pay the electricity bill for it.:yepp:

Well done Glen. i can see some MASSIVE scores been tallied to your name in SOB sieve.

Troy.. Pity my mum doesn't want a PC. She wouldn't spend Xmas on electricity. She only got a Cellular recently. :shock:. My granmother is more tech than she is.

Stephen will be out of the office for a few days. that means theres a chance (given the history) that schit will hit the fan with results etc. Might want to do someting else in the interim. LOL

Well done to KaptainBlazzed and Skycrane. 1st and 2nd respectively for muon % yields for Linac88MHz900MeV1.

[glennpat]

I moved some cores off this for the NPLB 3 day rally that starts on Friday. I left 4 cores on DPAD.

Now its time to concentrate on the current optimizations. Linac. ;)

Right. Seems I might take a break form DPAD and head back to SoB for a while. Seems Reckencraft fancy their chances and are currently less than a week away. This will not do.

Nice work on DPAD. I see you did over 10,000,000 in the last 28 days. You guys gave us a huge lead over the team behind us and help close the super big gap to the next team. Have some fun on SoB.

I will be leaving my computers on dpad for now, i am really liking the lack of supervision it requires as my main interest has moved from DC for now.

Your results are coming in:). I have a bunch of cores on here now, so my output should be increasing.

Nice work in DPAD! Had a 164 vault point gain today. I see from my last post I had put some cores on here, but I had taken them off a long time ago.

That is me. I have been running 100% DPAD since Docking@Home was not sending out work.

I put one core on this a couple of days ago, but I'm going to add a little more.

anybody else interested in helping.:stick:
This is a VERY low maintenance project. Start it and forget it.

I will be continuing my current pace to at least 100 million points.

[Paladin]

Added 4 cores. (DNet stats stuck)

[[XC] 4X4N]

I put a quad back on this for a while.

[KaptainBlaZzed]

Team Norway will pass us in 15 days.:shocked:

Lets pick up the pace and :shoot: them.

Pushed to 19 days now. I eventually got some points added... more to come. ;)

[KaptainBlaZzed]

I am leaving today, Wednesday the 24th and will not be back until Sunday January 4th. I plan on leaving all my machines on during my break and hope to see my self at 100 million points when I return.

Hold the fort down for me.

We'll hold the fort down. We have 6 XtremeSystems members that had turned in points today. Maybe we'll get a 1 million point day today.

Do you guys download new sample results files every so often from http://stephenbrooks.org/muon1/ ? Helps optimize the results better if you download both curent best sample results and combine them into a new 'results.dat' in teh DPAD folder. I use a little batch script to combine them instead of messing around with notepad.

goto %conti%
:start1
echo The file 'results.dat' will be created.
echo.
echo Press Ctrl C to terminate the batch job or

echo since it is already in the directory.

'Cept that script requires that you dump your own results.dat. Thought I read that's not a good idea.
