If you could do that, then I think we could definetly reach #1 by the end of the year. That alone would put out around 2500 a day (all of them). Just make sure the school doesnt find out. Maybe bring it up and see what they do. As far as setting it up, its not that hard. Download either rod's installer or the sengent version, download, and put it all under one account (screename). The one thing u might have to watch out for is the summer. I dont think they will let u keep them on over the summer break.

Well they will know about it. Sure they wont mind. Not 24/7 because we use them all day but from 3pm to 6am eastern is very possible.

I think they are 2.8's w/HT but im not sure. Pretty sure on HT though. All 512 RAM.

Also have on 3500+ Machin and a P4 3.06 EE Machine in the room which we built from grants. I'll see what I can do guys. The .bat files sound cool btw

3pm-6am is a long time. Thats what, 15 hours, so about 2 uploads at least. Does anyone know how much these produce a day. It will help us alot. Have Rod help u with the .bat files, cause I'm not good with those yet.

it doesnt slow them down anyway

It wouldnt slow them down? Find that hard to beleive. We do Photo shop, LiveMotion, etc. Some pretty intense programs. But i'll check it out tmrw. I mean if they go for it, We realy have like 5+ labs of Computers lol. Something like 50 P4's and then probably 125 P3's. Now that would be somehting.( not happening )

But I can Probably get the 25 P4's and I can get about 15 -20 P3's both sets 3-4pm to 7AM

I think we will get close to 50k daily when all ppl tune and put up their xeons! :D

Mine is looking at me only wayting for mems to fire up! :(

I would be happy to help in any way I can! Maybe a teleconference with the IT staff would be helpful.

I can also make a BAT file for you that would start and stop the clients at any time you desire... But this shouldn't be necessary as D2OL is designed to run at the lowest possible priority... so the second you fire up PhotoShop d2ol will back off. They only issue may be the RAM... but that is questionable if they all have 512 min.

If they are worried about performance than it would be just as good to run a single node on a HT rig. You won't get as many Cands but it would use 1/2 the physical mem. (On a 2.8E with a single node, HT enabled, you will get ~25 cands / 6hr update. As apposed to ~35)

Any way I can help I would be glad to do! :up:

Are you serious? I heard others say "She" and thought someone else said something about another girl overclocker and refering to you. Sorry, I meant no disrespect, :(

To take 1st place by end of the year we need to ramp up to 40k cands per day quickly. I should be doing 5500 a day once all DX rigs are up in a couple of weeks(running 8 of 15 now) so that's 2000 more.

Let's go get them.

I will upgrade from ~1000 (starting this Friday) to 1500 cands / day by the end of June... That's up 50% :D
Maybe if others with similar production do the same then we can hit that 40k a day starting from July...

What do you guys say?

EDIT: @ ddtung... little off-topic ;) have you ever posted any photo of your farm ? I'm soo curious how it looks :D

Magnj -

We don't want you to get in trouble, but do the best you can! That amount of CPU power will certainly help our chances of making #1 by year's end. I would recommend what Rod said, just run one instance on the HT machines, that will reduce the memory footprint, and still have good output via the primary thread handler.

With the D2OLDaddy program standalone or as part of an installer, D2OL runs at the lowest possible priority in Windows 2000/XP. What this means is, D2OL will only use SPARE CPU cycles. All other applications will take priority and reduce the CPU cycles dedicated to D2OL, to zero if higher priority apps require full CPU load. Basically, apart from the memory D2OL uses, it does not slow down other running applications, no matter how system intensive they are.

For simplicity's sake I would recommend you assign a different node to each machine, simply run the necessary batch file on each machine and you're good to go, no copying involved. 25-30 machines fighting over task assignments from the same node is also a bad idea IMHO . . .

Good luck man! :up:

40k is within reach ..... I think we'll break 2000 a day no sweat. Lets get em! The whole team would just ramp a little more it would be a lot easier on the guys already putting up impressive numbers by themselves.
