Thank you, SCC11 whoever you are. Not bad for the first day.

I ran an eye over the listed hosts there :eek: holy SNAP there's some hardware there!!

Wow. Hardcore server gear. 4 E7-8867L systems... over 4 grand per 10-core chip there and each system has 4 sockets. $64,000 of CPUs in that account's top 4 hosts alone.
Expect that number to go WAY up tomorrow. Those systems should be a pulling a little more than the first day's 4,000 BOINC :P

Dug up some details... the SC11 (Student Cluster Competition) conference just concluded today. Maybe they don't want to let their systems idle and are throwing some power our way? :)

jesus mother mary and joseph o-o 80 cores a board. i have 8 on my e3 pumping out 4200 boinic a day. but 320?! be like 160,000 boinic just from those top 4
16 20core e7s
26 16core bulldozers
31 12core x5670s

Wow. Very nice of them to join us for their (I assume) limited time WCG trial.

Ding Ding Ding! SCC11 was a super computing challenge for undergrads. We have spent the last 6 months tuning hardware, optimizing software and preparing for this competition. The competition concluded Wednesday night and we all came together under the user SCC11 to contribute as much as we could to the scientific community in the short time we had to run before packing up the hardware. Although the time was brief, hopefully it helped.
Thanks to all the teams who participated in the WCG run:
National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan)
-Hex-core westmeres
Purdue University
-Deca-core westmeres
University of Colorado, Boulder
-16 core interlogos
Nizhni Novgorod State University (Russia)
-Hex-core westmeres
The University of Texas at Austin
-Hex-core westmeres
Boston University (Honorable mention - they attempted to join but had a kernel panic)
-16 core interlogos

Oh, and total there were 1,284 cores running. :up:

Now if they'd just leave them running for ... I don't know ... a calendar year ... :rolleyes:

Well, the 1284 figure was from what teams offered up - we had some issues getting them to install across some of the head nodes but I thought we got most of them.
May have missed some though. :shrug:

:wasntme:
:rofl:
Now if they'd just leave them running for ... I don't know ... a calendar year ... :rolleyes:
Most of the hardware is getting re-purposed in different computing centers around the world - like Russia's has already been reclaimed by their sponsor, and same with Purdue. We get to keep half of our (Texas) cluster for training till next year and it will run WCG off and on until the competition (if we qualify again) and Colorado didn't know how much they'd get to keep but also said they'd try to run it.
It'd just be REALLY interesting to see one username with over a millennia of run time up in a single calendar year, plus with the validation system as we all know it can take a week for output numbers to settle in and decent averages need longer than that (like 30 days :rolleyes: ) How are they supposed to know what the hardware is good for if it's not allowed to get some decent run stats?

Haha, well when you put it like that... I almost have to get all the hardware back... :p:
Yeah it'd be really cool to see what all that is capable of, but unfortunately it only was able to run for about 8 hours before it started getting torn apart. :shrug:
Well that's still better than nothing. :up:
