I say the first time because I am moving house next weekend and I don't know how long I must wait for the new broadband connection. I expect to go backwards fast for a few days but it could be more.
I guess if I have to I can use mobile broadband for browsing but in view of how many wu's get done with GPU I think I would need to spend around $20 every 2 or 3 days just for the data. :(
OldChap still tasting pie. Delicious isn't it :D
Still trying to find a way to keep crunching... do I want to leave my rigs in an empty house with internet or move them to the new place without any connection for a while.
This house is disconnected Friday 7th but I still have no date for the new install :(
I expect I will pull the plug on Tuesday/Wednesday then put one rig in a case and use at work for a few days. Maybe I can sneakernet the others using that one
I'm afraid I don't think you can sneakernet WCG any more. Personally I'd just call it a "maintenance break" and use the time to clean heatsinks etc.
Ahh the good old days of sneakernetting 3.5" floppy disks worth of data over to the one computer that had a 1Gb WORM drive. Then burning on $100 WORM discs.Quote:

Personally I'd leave the machines online where they are if you can.Quote:

A quick search on "sneakernet" at WCG turned up http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/fo...ffset,0#402557
The suggestion there would mean you'd take a snapshot of the BOINC data directory of each of your offline machines to the online machine. There you'd mount each snapshot and switch BOINC to use the foreign data dir & do its network stuff. Your offline machines would not be able to crunch using the directory with the data you've taken, until you return with the updated version. I guess you could have 2 data directories on each of your offline machines, and crunch into the alternate directory while the other one is away for transferring data.
You'd have to be very disciplined about which data directory is which. A PITA.
BTW, using BOINC's default 2 upload/download threads is very slow when there are lots of small files as for HCC GPU results, and it would take hours to upload your data. Increasing the no of upload threads should help: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration
<max_file_xfers>N</max_file_xfers>HTH, but we're getting a bit OT. Maybe there should be a sneakernet thread.
Maximum number of simultaneous file transfers (default 8).
<max_file_xfers_per_project>N</max_file_xfers_per_project>
Maximum number of simultaneous file transfers per project (default 2).
We are crunching on the long term, that is years. So a few days even a few weeks break is just a glitch over the whole life cycle.
When external air temperatures rise, my whole system goes slowly into hibernation and for half of the year my contribution becomes relatively anectodical. But then the next winter the engine roars again. That's life. You die and are reborn stronger than before. Believe me you can switch off and be at peace with yourself.
:stop: and have some rest :yawn2: or have a drink :toast2:
Yummy surprise...!!!
So this is what XtremeSystems pie taste like... Quite addictive....:eek:
Congratulations Sam,
2 millions BOINC points on two normal PPD allocation days is an outstanding achievement... :clap:
You must have switched some nVidia GPU GRID video cards over to HCC or added some AMD 7XXX video cards... It is quite interesting to watch you and Hypernova slug it out for that top Master XS BOINC pie slice.

Congrats on the PIE, enjoy it, it's addictive. I'm sure OldChap will be back soon and stronger than ever looking to take my PIE !Quote:

Maybe it is time we check how to improve runtime :D
Shed loads of gpu's each running as many concurrent wu's as possible ...multiply the two together and you get your daily runtime days (approx)
Got new internet but it may take a day or two to move and set up the MOAF. The Sneakernet variation works though.
Just got my annual statement for electricity... when I looked at this as a daily amount I thought....Thats OK. Looked at as an annual figure reminds me of that Chinese fellow..... Ho Lee Sheet.
I need to do something about this so maybe, just maybe, you guys are in for permanent pie
I see that SAM has diverted some of his machines from GPUGrid to WCG to ensure the largest piece of cake. Frankly the one I have is large enough. Eating too much is not good for health.:D
Nothing like ample supply of warm cherry pie! :D
OC is back online....!!!
His crunching rigs were not totally idled, they just were not connected to the WCG server.
Well done OC, enjoy that huge pie section. You master minded it....:up:
This should help cure your pie withdrawal symptoms.
That was touch and go for a while there and the rigs are not built back up yet nor will they be for quite a while. what you are seeing is me desperately fitting HDD's from crunchers into my daily rig and moving files around just to get them uploaded in time....even then I lost maybe a day in total for being late. It takes forever to upload 4+ days of results from a 7950 rig....hours even with 40 concurrent uploads available it seems to hobble along at around 120 per minute at best.
In short, nice as that piece of pie was, that is the last for me for some time.
Looks like Hypernova has gone Supernova...???? :confused:
Bryce - You're so close to that 1 million BOINC PPD - Go for it... :yepp:
Time for holidays. An International trip abroad. Totalgeekdom got some pie. Do not each too much in my absence :D
http://i.imagebanana.com/img/6h4t5xj...0214180557.png
Boincstats has changed server today, hence the low numbers. Free-DC has not updated for 18hrs :shakes:
if wishes were fishes and these stats came from Free-DC ... it would show me having pie for breakfast and also for lunch ... let's see if I can hold on through to tomorrow :sonic:
Snowcrash,
Figures posted by Sam match exactly the daily BOINC stats update and the WCG stats... There is always a small difference between them and the Free-DC stats (+ or - 15 to 20K)
for me. For the last three days Free -DC stats have posted a number that was 20K above the actual BOINC Stats daily update.
No matter what, I hope you show up for some pie... It's definitely yummy and addictive..!!! :welcome:
the difference is that those sites "start" and "end" their days at different times ... I think BOINC Stats EOD is 6:00 PM UTC and Free-DC follows WCG closely (usually posts within 1 hour) at trying to stick UTC exactly. After 4 years I'm still not tired of playing this game :yepp:
Snow Crash,
Congratulations...!!! :clap:
How is that pie tasting.....:up:
Sam,
Thank you very much for your reliable daily pie service.... It is much appreciated...:)
This PPD output is insane.
Pre-HCC GPU WUs 1-14-12

Just one year later and the PPD output is at Xtreme levels!
Is this WCG or BOINC ppd?
Boinc on the left
WCG on the right
And I'm not on either! :sofa:Quote:

Now that's funny!!! :rofl:
SC. You got the other cheek :D
Got a 660Ti just sitting here on my desk slacking, I'll add it within the next couple of days or so to keep my grip firm :yepp:
SC,You're a true Xtreme crunching buckaroo, you rode the AP for > 8 seconds with fine form and got an excellent score from it.
Get that 660Ti in there and ride on...
You can tip your Stetson cowboy...!!! :)
So it takes at least 300,000+ BOINC or 2.8 million WCG points for pie..HMMM...:wasntme:
Yup even arse pie is gonna cost you :)Quote:

SC, I see that MM is now running 7 crunchers including that hypothetical i7-3960x (online as of 25 Feb 2013). Theoretically his score should have boosted by 80-90K BOINC PPD. He is still averaging an ~ 36K BOINC PPD on that 3960x rig. He obviously needs to crank up the OC on that rig or feed it some of that WT elixir. His new server board is not online yet and there is no indications of any ongoing GPU crunching.Quote:

Looks like the New Hampshire National Crunching Guard is readying new weapons for the ongoing WCG campaign. The NHNCG does not appear to have yet reached battle readiness status. :rolleyes:
PS: SC, that 660Ti you added is making a worthy contribution to securing your daily pie spot...!!!:clap: OC and Hypernova are bound to be back soon at the pie table causing a might of a shuffle.
Patience oh padawan..Rome wasn't built in a day and that machine has only 12 hours under it's belt so far..and 915 WU pending validation besides the 268,000 points it got for the first 1/2 of the day..:D
Oh, this is just the start..Another division of the NHCG is in transit but they have a app 7 day forced march before reaching the front lines..:D
This is still all hypothetical of course and could be subversive propaganda on behalf of the NHCG. :confused:Quote:

C'mon guys, you can tell me..
You work for the video card companies and are getting them at 1/3 the price! :D
Don't worry Dave. It'll soon be back to cpu only, when your 'beast' will be helping you get your regular slice of pie. You know, the one just before the ar$e slice :D
My logic tells me that with the amount of work WCG gets done with GPU that it would be dumb beyond beleif that this would be the end of GPU crunching.Quote:

Now as to me and cpu, I will never catch you guys. That is how much GPU work has affected the project.
Doesn't bother me. The work is getting done at a huge rate and that is what matters..
BUT could you just once in a while save me some crumbs..I do miss a little pie!:rofl:
Guess that's what I get for not stopping by in so long...
You can't rest on your laurels in this team. Glad to see you posting again :up:
Well SC, I see you are back to humpin' arse again!
I can not lie ... if all I can get is a piece of arse I'll take it :up:
But seriously ... my molex to PCIE converter cable order was suppose to be 2 pieces but I only received 1 so the 660Ti is not running yet :-(
