And I shall start :cool:
Jimwah, pick up the pace, c'mon! Your chart is downhill, and I'm right behind you in 24 hour average production. You aren't gonna let me produce more than you now are ya? ;) :p:
GAM, get a move on! Slacker, you used to be gunning for me, whatever happened to "sparkle day" as you liked to call it? :p:
Angra, you aren't top producer anymore, and you aren't even red :eek: I'm guessing you had to get the computers running on other stuff for the time being....
The timing of this thread is so so bad for anyone who wants to harass me:lol:
hehehehehehe
:hehe: Yeah my output is down 'cos currently it's just from one box, the e6300 (apart from a random 396 pointer recently, I have no idea where that came from :shrug: )
I've got machines spread thinly at the moment, but I can't have you overtake me in the dailies :nono: So maybe I'll have to get some boxen back on here soon :p: Also, I've seen the parts for my new machine at work, e6400 due sometime this month :D
By the way pythagoras I'm looking after 5th place for you :wave: Hope you don't mind :p: The elusive Timarak better put his foot down too soon.... he's the next target...
I've only got my 3800x2 (1-2 cores) and x1900GT (if not running, 2 CPU cores, if running 1 CPU 1 GPU client). However, by F@H's stats, I have 4 active procs in the past week and 7 in the past 50 days... that 1 in the past week is totally unaccounted for and the 7 has me utterly baffled... :)
Shame the stats aren't more specific, ie which machine returned what and what that machine is hardware-wise...
OK jimwah your 24 hour average is higher than mine again, happy? ;)
Pythagoras, why is the timing of the thread bad? :confused: You are ahead of me by quite a bit but I am outproducing you so at the current rate I will pass you at some point ;)
Sorcerer maybe some secret donor someplace :p:

ooh ooh can i harass myself for only having P3s?

yep yep there was a meeting for the main project that has users on my cluster this week. Normally they have a flurry of activity just before and after the meetings as people get their programs, benchmarks, and demos working. I am planning to try out the SMP client in a week or two, but I also was planning to pay back the WCG guys a bit for their help on our push against TPR.Quote:

Any help you can give to WCG would be great because DDTung is taking a DC break (well deserved may I add). That smp client should definitely boost your average quite a bit. All I've heard about it is how good it is. Plus, I don't think that those project 21xx are available under SMP are they?Quote:

Although I vaguely remember the start of februaury being the date for a newer client, or the next stage of beta, can't remeber but something was happening... :shrug:
Timarak has upped his output in the last few days, I might have to add another machine or two too keep him in sight ;)
Thanks you also Sparky. I'm still 100% over here as I will switch back over to WCG when I am top50 here. Currently I am 61.Quote:

Anyway, the SMP client is very nice. I have it running on 16 nodes, and my PPD seems to be about 3/4 of what my whole cluster (50 nodes) was with the old client.
I'm using BOINC on two systems (fold6 and fold7) to help them out, windows based though. Each one gave me an error when setting up but they seem to be working fine and I am getting credit for the points.
Glad to know the SMP client is working well for you angra, nice to see your stats climbing again :toast: If I can get my hands on a cheap dual core to plop in fold7 I'll run the SMP client there - also I heard that I could even run the SMP client on it - a single core A64 3200+ - because even though it wouldn't be faster it gets higher point WUs and doesn't have those horrid 212x WUs. I don't know, I'm toying with the idea...
OK, I checked and I have some points, so maybe it is working :)Quote:

Thanks much. Anyone know if it would be difficult to hijack like 30 school computers in the computer lab?
You need administator privaleges to install it as a service. An admin would notice the normal console or GUI version. You could also get into serious trouble doing that. Also, Stanford's policy requests that permission be obtained before running clients on computers that aren't yours.
Agreed on both counts. Not a good idea to go hijacking school computers.
I wish I was admin of the lab here at work - There are about 30 P4's in there that sit idle or used for web/MS word, imagine the numbers I could add up with all those. I can't do anything about it though :(
Yeah, i get your point. I was just curious, since I have access to probably over 500 p4's here. No admin though. Darn.
1 more question. Since I'm running dual instances, would it be wise to set core affinity's seperate? 1 instance on core 0 and the other on core 1? Or just let the 2 cores work together?
Drunner, it's still a good idea - it just needs to be executed properly. I bet you could find the right teacher or professor or whatever to ask permission from.
regarding affinity, I set each instance on my dual processor windows machines to a separate affinity, but on my linux boxes, there is not an easy way to set affinity (unless the client does it itself?), and I've never noticed a significant difference in performance between the two.
Alright, I set them apart, so we'll see. Are they ever gonna develop an Nvidia gpu client?
Someone mentioned to me in PM that setting affinity had improved frame time's on a PentiumD in windows (in the region of 10-15% iirc). I tried it on my C2D & it had absolutely no effect, I never had time to test it on my 805 and that machine is in pieces now :shrug: Worth setting it just in case I suppose, certainly doesn't do any harm.
I've thought about doing that Drunner :). I do work with GPU enhanced scientific/signal processing about 15-25% of my work-time. I would love to have the spare time to look at porting one or two of the calculation kernels over to Nvidia. The ATI and nvidia architectures are organized differently enough internally that optimization choices for each are very different, so it's probably not trivial for Stanford to target both.
as far as i can gather from the stanford folding forum, using nvidia is not an option for several reasons - the hardware isn't very wellmade for it (tho the new g80 might be) adn the drivers is another big problem since it doesn't return the "right" results in many cases - i know they have used quite a bit of time on it, but have given up since it was a lost cause.
Try to browse the stanford folding forum to find out the details there are several threads on the subject.
WAKE UP CALL TO JIMWAH!!
3 days soon to be 4 days in a row with NO WU's, and NO points? Hello, wake up! ;)
:wave: I'm awake already! :hehe: Just helping out our friends, & paying back some WU, at EOCF for the rest of January. I'll be back soon, I've got to crack 400K and catch Mr Cole!
OK just checking ;) I'm helping them out too - I have fold6 and fold7 on there, with another 3200+ going on soon - and I'm still putting some points on the F@H charts. I'm guessing you went all out to WCG?
I must say i seriously hope the F@H slump is due to people helping out WCG and not a tell tale sign of the team dying - we have blues on the top 20 these days - it hasn't been that bad since i joined - i haven't even seen greens in top 20 for a while, and now we have blues.... *sigh*
Helping WCG is noble (and a good thing) i ran a client for them for a while as well, just don't forget to come back or TPR will overtake us again and that would just be, ehm, no i can't even finish that thought :P
No I'm over here : EOC F@H Stats with a bit of luck I might hit 75k before the end of the month :up: How's the WCG mission going man? I've just noticed I've dropped below you on the dailies, we can't have this :nono: :hehe:
Oh for some reason I thought you meant the WCG team :hitself: I'm helping out the WCG'ers here for a spell. OK so you help out the EOC F@H team, I'll do the WCG :) Pretty much they are in a long race, trying to get to first place before another team does (easynews I think) but they are lagging behind by a lot of PPD. I may move more than I have over to them in a little while, we'll see.
@ embeejay, I'm guessing our output is lower because of many going elsewhere to help out as thank-yous. And our team really isn't dying, our 24 hour average is still a good 10k higher than it was before the race with TPR :fact: So once everyone is back on F@H I'm sure our average will stay up :) Only thing is the team "The Outcasts" is due to pass us in 3 months :(
I was checking our EOC stats page and saw this newegg ad at the top... I think somebody needs the check their spelling! :rofl:

Has anyone ever gotten some project 26xx? I got one on my A-XP 2200 and it is taking 6 1/2 days :eek: . They are taking forever.
I've gotten a couple. My parents' PC (A64 2800+ and 512MB RAM) has a 2606 right now, it is a 292 pointer. The PPD for it is 222.28, so just slightly over a day's worth of time for this one.Quote:

I haven't heard anything about that, but then I'm not active at the official F@H forums. You might want to check this folding manager out though, I haven't had a chance to mess with it yet but it looks like it simplifies things quite a bit by using a GUI to configure the console :)Quote:

Any way to run something to cluster systems, then have one main system that you could put the F@H client on? Basically so the client sees just 1 CPU but that "1" CPU is the cluster of several? Hmm, I wonder how much faster that would be....Quote:

:wave: Hey davidletterboyz, interesting theory - certainly the improvement in frame times you showed me proved it's worth setting imo :up:

:rofl: .....:( No, but I've been watching you nevertheless. Ever since your upgrades a month or so ago I realised 'Sparkle Day' was just a dream unless I obtained more hardware or you had some bad luck. The latter was not desirable and the former is out of the question according to the CFO (darling Wifey ;))Quote:

I'm content. I managed to pass Servin247365 and dcsfd recently. That was nice ;) Flyboy and daddy fizz are on the horizon now, but there are a couple behind me too... like Martin Bush Jesperson... whom I have no chance of countering.
Give me a month or so and hopefully I'll be right behind you in the rankings... er, around 14?
What? My upgrade of my CPU was enough to hold you off huh? ;) Well, OK that and cranking up to the 3D clocks on my X1900XT for the GPU client...
So the 212x WU's is what is keeping your production down? You used to be pretty darn close to being bright red. But then so was I but now look what those 212x WU's have done :(
Yeah, quite a startling difference in PPD across some of these projects :shock: The last month my folding has been back to normal - Main x2 cores, HTP x2 cores, Server down to x1 (read somewhere that HT cpu's should run single instance) but Server produces very little anyway.
Stanford I think prefers you use 1 instance on a HT CPU, but if you run 2 both will run slower but your PPD will benefit a little IIRC ;)
i continue to be the bottom active feeder
Hey you are still climbing the charts. Maybe you should buy a cheap motherboard, RAM, and an X2 or opteron and put a 24/7 SMP client cruncher together. That would help your stats a lot. I have a HD that you could have if you don't have one for it. Maybe a power supply as well, I'd have to check on that.Quote:

do so then, I'm sure you can handle it, you are a linux guru after all! To me anyway :D
Funny... just noticed I'm gaining jimmyboy... although there has been one (slow :moon: ) core for him ~three months :hehe:
I put on a 64 bit folder the other day, but noticed this morning it might not be getting credit 'cos the time/date is set wrong :( I'll check it later. My main folder is being used for benchmarking purposes at the moment too :slapass:
I was scratching my head trying to figure out where that odd 396 pointer came from every now & then :D :hehe:
@GAM are you running 2x windows clients on your main rig? If so you could try running VMWare server (free download, just need to register to get serials for it iirc) on your e6400, then run 64-bit linux inside that. I think there's only a fairly small performance hit from running inside VM (10-20%) and I'm sure that would bump your ppd nicely. You might have looked into the linux route already, but I thought I'd mention it regardless :)
Nice to see you post again sc00p, I was worried that you disappeared on us!
Hmmm. Yes am I running 2 clients on both Main and HTPC. No I hadn't explored that route before. Sounds like a bit of PITA though. I'll look into it next time I get a break from other projects ;) Cheers.Quote:

So I shut up the window but it makes the room temperature get a little warmer than normal, which feels good but with 3D clocks makes the X1900 run in the low 80's. Not being comfortable with that temp staying there 24/7 I shut off ATItool to kick the card back down to 2D clocks which will keep it cooler. Side effect is lower PPD :(
I suppose the question is, could it be harmful to the card to run at, say, 85C 24/7 for a few days due to elevated ambient temp? I know with the stock cooler it would hit 90+ C under load when playing games and such but that is only for a few hours at a time, not days.
Hard to say, although I noticed my GT started to artifact in Oblivion & started doing it in WoW sometimes too; and it has done a few months at those kind of temperatures previously (~75-80). It's got a VF900 on there now, and loads at about 50c, but it still artifacted (until I went mental & spent a load of my pay cheque on an 8800GTS last week :wth: ) I don't know whether fah caused the artifacts to be honest - I'm just in the process of benching it again over the weekend, so maybe a voltage bump will stop the artifacts :shrug:
Get well soon man & take it easy :)
Well I'm thinking I should save more for a watercooling setup, that would keep the temps down :hehe: Problem is it is expensive, but if I save long enough I can get it.
Did you have the GT overclocked any? Maybe between the constant heat and the overclock (especially on the rams) that caused the artifacting... Not sure though, I'm no pro when it comes to GPU overclocks, and only an average CPU overclocker :p:
Indeed it is a slight PITA, but I'm considering running a basic test to see for myself whether the PPD gain is enough to warrant the potential headaches of using VMware & linux for people unfamiliar with both, if so maybe a guide would be in order, I think >1000ppd is not out of reach for a C2D like yours even through a virtual OS. I've got some tidying up to do with my folding efforts, and I've still yet to publish some of the power usage & cost estimates I'd made on the folding boxes here; which may or may not be of interest to anyone :p: - but once the benchmarking has eased off a bit I'll start on these tasks, and get back to tackling 400K sooner rather than later :DQuote:

@jimwah, a new guide would be good. They take some effort though ;). At the moment, I have heaps on my plate so I don't think I'll be venturing into any new unchartered territories for the moment. I've been working on my website and learning all sorts of new things with HTML,DHTML,PHP,CGI, etc etc. Brain strain at the moment.
@Sparky, bummer dude!
btw guys, I entered my front panel mod to HTPC into a local modding comp recently and won!!! I haven't posted a link yet because I am approaching my 5GB monthly bandwidth. I'll post the link next month. If you recall my website, you're welcome to have a look (I'm just avoiding a sudden influx of traffic this month).
@Sparky, iirc I mentioned 'Sparkle Day' has been redefined:
'The day when I'm right behind you in the XS Rankings.'
...wellllll, that day is approaching, less than 2 weeks away!! :hrhr:
You might just frighten people away from dcing by publishing those numbers :DQuote:

Just trying to be realistic there Sparky :cool:
'Sparkle Day' has such a nice ring to it, it would have been a shame to drop it altogether.
...I wonder if I could coax my brother into putting his two machine into the fold, for me of course.... :D
Hehe, no don't worry. It won't happen. I won't be increasing output anytime in the forseeable future. Fold on Sparkster.
Ok I think I'm almost done playing with my Core2 rig, and it will be rebuilt in my Antec900 soon, & the Xeons will be decommisioned. Hopefully this will kick off this evening, & I can get back up into the bright red realms of production again asap :)
I just need to decide where my Core's are going, I've disabled VT on the 6400 in my main rig :slap: so I might swap it out for the e6300 in my dedicated folder - then get VMware on the go.
I'll have Timarak back in my sights again soon I hope, and I've got to keep Windforce & XSTM at bay for as long as I can :wtf:
( ps. good point sc00p, I might keep the power usage figures to myself :p: )
Nah keep the xeons running in another box :p:Quote:

Thanks for the service install guide Sparky, I set that up on my work box, since I've found people have used my machine & closed the clients in the past (I might bump that thread if/when I do a vmware install) :) Xeons have gotta go off, too much power being eaten & not enough work being done unfortunately.
On a side note, do you think you could drop an x1900 into the second slot in an SLi board, and just use it to fold on, as a secondary display with no monitor connected? Last time I looked the linux-64 client was maxing @ ~80% CPU time, perhaps leaving enough CPU for a GPU folder :shrug:
I don't see a problem doing that, it should work. Trying to run in crossfire takes some driver hacking but for two independent cards it should work fine. But I've never had more than one graphics card in my computer so I can't be totally sure.

It would be interesting to measure the power draw on such a box too.

Hmm wonder if I should gear up a couple more systems.... ;)
Anyone else been having the projects 3038 and 3039 (I think the numbers are) ending with EUE's? Or is it just me? Fold4 and fold5 seem eat those at between 12% and 35% or so. Makes me frustrated when I see EUE's :(
Been having plenty of those for the past 3 days...Add to this 2 rigs down because of a power shortouts, so my prod. went down from 6-7k to 3-4k :mad:Quote:

Yep, about 1/2 of my 30XX projects EUE. Sucks, wish I had Patty Melts again. :stick:
Yeah I noticed a 6 pointer go in for me the other day, I guess that must've been an EUE on one of these units too - couldn't see anything wrong on the machines when I got back a few hours later. Good luck getting the machines straight Windforce; although it's quite relaxing for me seeing your ETA to "Jimkle Day" (no doesn't work does it) is over a year at the moment :p: :D
Hehe, 'jimkle day' :D
HEAPS of 3038/9's here for weeks and weeks now but no apparent problems.
yeah not all the systems seem to have trouble, but every so often they just eat them. Not sure why.
Fold3 pulled a strange stunt earlier today. It stopped doing checkpoints so the log file reports an EUE and it supposedly uploaded the WU. But while I could access the log file and ping the system I couldn't log into it. So I rebooted it and when it came back up it continued working on the WU it supposedly uploaded? :confused:
Thank YOU Mr. DragonOrta! :rocker::toast:
Now If I can only get time to get heater set up on another SMP client :comp10:

I had so much work this week that i barely added 2 new rigs in F@H, so yes, you can relax for at least a week :D
I've got an opportunity to buy a s754 mobo, A64 2800+, 512MB RAM, and (somewhat cheapo) 400W PSU for $112, or $92 without the PSU... So tempting! I have the money... but if I do this that puts me that much further away from watercooling my PC... What to do?!
Enjoy one GOOD machine and put the doh aside for watercooling ;)
Yeah I've got to agree with GAM, hang on for the watercooling & push that 165 :p: It'll kick more arse when the WinSMP arrives, or if you get VMWare/Linux on there :D
Hope that machine gets it PSU & comes out of the ER safely today Windforce, you need it on to catch me :hehe:
'Redefined Sparkle Day' has arrived (for GAM)!
I look ahead and all I see is Sparky giving me the moon :moon:
And so he should given he is 48,412pts ahead!!!! :upset:
