I wonder if it would be safe to run boinc on my laptop or would it burst in flames
I'll take part of the blame for the fall, but I have two good reasons:
1. It's getting to be air conditioning season and I don't need any added heat load
2. After 7-8 months of $400 electric bills, I need a break
If only we could get UPS or FedEx to donate free shipping so we can send each other our rigs when the seasons make it impractical to crunch :)
The CPU fan will probably run continuously, so it may wear out prematurely, plus the fan & heatsink fins may accumulate dust & lint & need cleaning more often than in a less-used machine. If you can cope with that, go for it.Quote:

If no ext fan is available, tip the machine on its side when you're not using it. If necessary, reduce the output of the machine. Reducing CPU speed using the standard (Windows) Power Settings has the advantage that it will reduce Vcore as well as speed, but this may drop speed more than you want. The alternative is to reduce the % of time that the CPU crunches. BOINC can do this but the sleep periods are multiples of 1 sec (generic Unix minimum timing increment). Suggest using Threadmaster or Tthrottle instead.
Better still, go get a 4770K CPU, cheap motherboard & RAM, an old HDD or put Linux and BOINC on a USB stick, etc etc, and really crunch some numbers :)
Huh? I never switch machines off or reduce clocks in summer, and don't have aircon. And I leave the house unattended for a couple of weeks over Xmas/New Year. One day in Jan this year the official max temp was over 45 deg C, a record, and my machines crunched on. (A corsair RAM stick went flaky about then tho, but I think that was coincidence). Just get high-end cooling, overclock only as far as you can without having to raise voltage much, and then just let 'em cook for the hottest week or 2 each year.Quote:

I also squirt a few blasts of compressed air into the exhaust and intake vents every 2-3 weeks.
I am guilty, though I was trying to split two rigs for different projects. The i5 rig is already back on WCG full time. The Q9550 rig should be back on WCG full time after I clear out some POEM WU's.Quote:

Well, that's leaving a lot to be desired, so I'm thinking of picking up a 2nd hand 2nd gen i7 if I can find a decent deal. I'm house shopping however, and the cars are begging me for more money this year (tires on both, ouch) so I'm watching the budget.
Don't get me wrong, people have their own circumstances to deal with. I get that. I've had to retire 90% of my own hardware due to ridiculous power costs and the heat for some people makes it impractical to do much. Others just don't have the income to support this activity. I have no problem with any of that, we do what we can with what we've got. On the other hand, when someone pulls the "Wahhhhh! I want more GPU work or I'm leaving and taking my bat and ball with me!" routine I have no sympathy. Crunching is an activity for adults with a long term perspective and a degree of altruism, not little children with less attention span than a goldfish and no interest beyond their personal point score.Quote:

I agree with you 100%. The extra points from HCC GPU were nice, but our main goal is crunching WUs in the long term. I often hear people decide to crunch one or more of the current WCG projects*only* when someone close to them is affected with an illness that one or more of the current WCG projects may help find a cure for. Yet, if the person decided to run a project, it is often for a very short time. The mentality of people who only help when it personally affects them irritates me immensely.Quote:

*Thought you would like to see where the ones chasing us down are at
So 9M is our current resting point.
Goals. We need goals.
So, first goal should be to get back above Easynews in the dailies.
Goal 1: 10mil/day [short term]
Goal 2: 100mil/day [long term]
Who's powering up a new system today or maybe just going from part time to full time again? I'll slap another 2600k on the net and bring my current OC'ed 2600k to full time.
Let's do this! :toast2:
I've been keeping an eye out for a good deal on a 2nd or 3rd gen i5/i7. Prefer 2nd gen since 3rd has its thermal issues, and I had enough of that with my 1st gen i7.
Ordered me a cheap board and 3770K... Yeaaah intel... :S

With the rigs I have at the moment I'm not sure how to improve my output and still keep things the way I want.
My 2600k is doing fine at 4.5 GHz and watercooled.
The 3770 (non k) is on a cheap mobo that doesn't undervolt. And running hot with the stock cooler and extra fan.
And the HTPC with an i3-540 is running stock speed and undervolted. I would like to upgrade this one to a quadcore. But that would mean adding a GFX card (now using the GFX in the i3) That would add heat and noise. And need more power than the 250 watt PSU can deliver 24/7.
But I will look what I can do. We need to impove as a team. We all know we can do much better.
Doesn't the i7 have GFX on it also?
Yes, they do.
But the 2600k should stay where it is. It is my main cruncher. Overclocked and watercooler. Quietly doing the work.
That leaves the 3770, but that one doesn't fit the board I use for the i3. 1156 vs 1155 socket. And it would need a big cooler to get it silent and cool to have in the living room.
I have a spare i7-860 that fits in place of the i3. But that doesn't have integrated graphics. And runs much hotter.
Looks like I need to build me a new HTPC.:rolleyes:
all you need for a linux cruncher is
a) Linux
b) ssh for maintenance and set up
c) boinc
after you've installed SSH you don't need display, you can just conf everything from your main via putty...if you want i can do tutorial
for boinctasks to work you need to edit /etc/boinc-client/remote_hosts.cfg
nano /etc/boinc-client/remote_hosts.cfg
and add ip of your compuiter that is running boinctasks
Oh gotcha, 1st gen didn't have.

going up? :up:
my new stock 3770k system has been running for a couple of days now and it's performance is shocking :eek:
it's more than my 3 AMD rigs combined (i really didn't believe it was this powerful) ... and pulling 85~W out of the socket, almost completely silent
^that translates to me planning on to add 4770k cruncher soon...

The efficiency of the new architectures is amazing. My 2700k is great, but IVB and HSW are even better.Quote:

Still way down the list, but atleast we got 10 mil again.
Let's make it to eleven... again
We need another cancer project... those seem to motivate people
I believe there's another cancer project in the works from the same people that produced the last two, but when it will arrive I don't know.
They said we should expect something this summer.

So close to 10!
WTH has IBM eaten... that's some serious crunching power :S
I wouldn't be surprised if that's XS's fault. They, IBM, one of the biggest tech companies in the world, were shown up by a group of enthusiasts so they put the hammer down. HARD.Quote:

I am going to say that they are now using a whole bunch of IB Xeons each with 12 cores. Kept some of the "old" stuff running too and doubled their output.
If anyone has them already then surely they do
I'd say that if they're provoked they could pile a whole lot more on the fire than they have now. XS or 2CH would have to somehow double IBM's output to poke the stick hard enough though.Quote:

That little card can be made to work on WCG and I figure from the numbers I saw that it would
take my dualie from a max of 140,000WCG PPD to over 500,000 WCG PPD..maybe a lot more if my math is off.
Ah yes, the Phi extension cards. I've been wanting to see what those puppies can do under the right workloads ... ie WCG.
Your idea may be supported by their daily runtime
XS runtime yesterday = 6 years 103 days for approx 2293 cores
IBM runtime yesterday = 55 years and 33 days for approx 20108 cores.... << seems an unlikely number if just cpu's.... =628 Beasts
I requested today to borrow one "for a few weeks" to see what it will do in WCG and thats if it will actually work in WCG and also notice this graph..Quote:

maybe not as remember IBM has tens of thousands of machines available to themQuote:

It's over $3000.00 retail so not something we are going to be buying.
More to me of just finding out the answers to the questions....and possibly adding a few million fast points to the team..:D
It's still possible to hit those runtime numbers with the number of machines at their disposal. Twenty thousand cores? One Z series could pop that and we'd be none the wiser. Alternately they could have just put WCG in their standard desktop image for all admin and clerical staff who barely use 10% of their system's grunt at peak. When you have as many systems available as they do it's a mistake to underestimate them.
I can't find the earlier discussion about Team IBM, but I seem to recall that back then 'team member' IBM had in the range of 40,000ish device installations, checking today that total is 146,602.
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/st...o?userName=IBM
yea, someone's been busy..IF just 1/10th of those are running thats 14,660 machines..Quote:

GPU is a great equalizer. When one guy can have in a desktop case as much processing power as a moderate cluster, a team of such crazies can chew through HUGE amounts of work.
