Come and explain to uncle Mike then.....

There are a certain number of people that I need to have a word with....

You know who you are.....

Now just line up over there and bend over.....

It is time I kicked a few arses!!!

I have no idea who's idea this was but lets just say even though I know one person to blame I have no ideas, when looking at "my" stats, who the others might be.

This has put a big grin on my face and for that alone I thank you. :D

Come on, take it like a man.... Own up. Let's hear what this is all about. Let the beatings commence http://serve.mysmiley.net/fighting/fighting0058.gif

ummmmmm.........
yeah, ive been gone for a while
so
what happened?

I think we all know who that is.:D Although it wasn't him this time really.

Maybe I could fill you in on some of the others, but I'm not :rofl:

How was the pie, any wishes for what taste you want tomorrow?

http://youtu.be/q_U0-7GCrhw

I wasn't the mastermind though... he will have to fess up himself!

Such sweet pie, thank you one and all....... Shall we try blue pie today??? :)

I'm one of them :P

me too!

I have no idea what you're on about :D

check OldChap's credits for today. #37 and rising quick !
Some people are crunching under his name i guess :)

Nope, I'm more of a Lime person myself. :wasntme:

Key Lime all the way :-)

Damn, only blueberry. See what happens when my 7770 doesn't want to cooperate and crashed during the night!

(Oh! Did I just say that and self-incriminate)

My 7950 arrived today :)

I need to get busy swapping stuff around. Hope you all find this as much fun as I do! :up:

Good guess.

All we need now is to find out who and Who is the instigator of all this fun nonsense :D

You mean "our" 7950 arrived today :rofl:

Thanks for that. :rofl:

OldChap ... I'm pleading the 5th but if you could set a profile to only HCC + GPU I'm sure once you assign HAL9009 to that profile she would be able to help a bit more :sofa:

"We" now have another couple of wu's a minute. I will start winding it up a bit faster after I have eaten :D

Heat will not be a problem.... crunching @1000 8 threads it reaches 37? with fan @ 50%

What do we think is optimum?? 10 threads @1100? :D

SC: Done.

I have a GPU + GFAM profile and a GPU + HCC profile that I use..... That leaves me two more if anyone thinks it would help to set up something else

EDIT I have tried to change it a few times now but this post changes the degrees sign to a question mark between preview and posting...... most odd

I would tick it up slowly to make sure you remain stable (gets better points than flying high and crashing) and then also track avg time per WU as you increase the concurrent WU count to make sure it really is worth it.

Which 7950 card did "we" get OC?

10 @ 1100 sounds nice to me :)

http://uk.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/AM...D7950DC2T3GD5/

Maybe try 10 tomorrow ...running 8 @1100 now just to see how we do.

Decided to start over with a new install in order to see more clearly so will be doing that in a moment

"We"...uh..."should" be able to hit key lime pie :up:

This is for the hard work that OC put in for the H4SW badge thread :toast2:

Disclaimer: I am not the instagator either :shrug:

... and all the other things he does on a regular basis here at XS ... many good threads to get us thinking and crunching our best ... threads like "working app_info files" which have helped so many crank up their output :up:

Aw Crap, lots of folks helped each other for that. To quote a certain gentleman.... "I was just the cheerleader"

Edit:

.....and as for threads like that app-info one hell I just stole other peoples' work, tested, then put it in one place. If I didn't do it someone would. These are all pretty lame so far, I was expecting something interesting but if you guys are happy to get the badges then I am happy to do my bit in making it happen.

There is still someone that is being somewhat backward in coming forward... isn't there

Ya but you were able to get us going on the right path and made it possible for those that might not have achieved the badge get it :up:

I can testify that I was sitting on the sidelines but eventually joined in the fun as the excitement the drive to help folks out grew. Leading things that help keep our interest peaked which is important as sometimes crunching can feel like watching paint dry.

Watching paint dry can be fun :D

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en....1.lyZYaghJ4ZU

As you figured at POC I have moved 2 GPU's to your account.

I didn't need any badges my self, but enjoyed helping out.

And it doesn't really matter who's party it is, as long as we get pie we are all happy. :D

I know who it is, but I'm not telling :p::p::p:

Well, until someone comes along and says "I cannot tell a lie....It might have been me and it might not" I can tell you this:

For me at least, this has injected a bit of fun (not to mention points) into the mix and, judging from the comments, some of this seems to be rubbing off on you guys.

Just watching for what "we" can achieve each evening here brings smiles :)

Have we added more than Mr Wfo today?...... Keep watching.

We want lime! We want lime!

brings perspective to what SAM is doing too doesn't it?

Will watching paint dry hurt gpu scores?

^not by much ;)

I hate waiting for free-dc to update and see how we're doing today

They just updated. Looking good. SAM has to start watching his mirrors. :)

I cannot tell a lie....It might have been me and it might not! :D

I think I get the picture.... Well thank you one and all for injecting a little fun into this week.

Quick question: Who runs [BOINC|7.0.31][CAL|AMD Radeon HD 7900 series (Tahiti)|1|3072MB|1.4.1741] on a 2600K? Any details of card and about the number of wu's it runs concurrently

I wish that was mine. I like to know the specs too, I still have one rig that needs a GPU.

I cannot tell a lie....It might have been me and it might not! :D

I cannot tell a lie....It might have been me and it might not! :D

I'm Spart-a-I cannot tell a lie....It might have been me and it might not! :D

Looks like we're ahead of 2ch for a change.

Can't post more now. Too busy watching paint dry.

You have to feel it to be sure it is dry, but I'm afraid I will get in trouble when I do. ;)

I'll take full credit for that machine. First rig in my sig. Gigabyte Windforce3 7950 running @1000/1000. Started at 8 WU, but switched this morning to 9 WU.

Like those stats do ya!

Sure do. I'm waiting to see how mine compares. Let us know how that move to 9 goes will you.

Will do. I have my count set to .10, but only 9 run instead of 10. I also try and keep them staggered.

If you want to run 10 you can change the <cpu> tags in the app_info

Code:

---

      <avg_ncpus>0.500000</avg_ncpus>
      <max_ncpus>0.500000</max_ncpus>

I ponder to think if the collective known only as "We", not to be confused with The Knights Who Say Ni, would be capable of such epic proportions as Cherry Pie:exclaim:

Well as a collective we might be able to push SAM off for a short while ... just think about that ... 1 guy ... and it takes a collective to even consider matching his output :worship:

It is a serious feat!

Did you check the wattage this rig is using? That is always one of my main concerns when upgrading. It is nice to have something powerfull, but you have to be able to run it 24/7.

I run what you're asking about on a 7970. The only difference being I run 7.0.36. Running 9 concurrent tasks. Results for last 4 1/2 days.

Will it be re-enabled in the future?

Thanks for that ... I am trying to get an insight into the performance differences in the real world of 7950 and 7970.

I oc'd mine (7950) having taken the view that this is likely only for 3 months this time around and the difference in power is not permanent. I want to sell my 5870's and buy another 79xx. Just now I am thinking of another 7950 due to the price differential.

11/01/2012 0:009:10:52:42 300,743 1,305

1 card dong 100K + Boinc is such a step change that I want to upgrade regardless of the short duration.

EDIT: my understanding is that uploads will be re-enabled at a later date meanwhile imageshack or This old gal's works for me

~302W on the Kill-A-Watt a the wall. This is for the whole sysem though...so -40W for monitor and -5W for speakers = ~257W when sitting there crunching alone.

new server, uploads disabled for the meantime. try tinypic.com, imageshack.us, many others

2.46TFLOPS for oldchap! :up::up::up:

My output will be a little low today. :( My main rig got stuck on 4 WU's again. I checked that rig this morning before leaving for work, and now I come home and see 4 WU's stuck for 10 hours. That happened less than 15 minutes after I checked this morning.:mad:

Are you using those latest 12.11beta4 drivers?

No. I think I have 12.10 on that rig.

I would clean them out and put in the newest beta.

I'm doing that right now. Hope that will fix it.

Hmmmm... seems I picked up 2 new helpers as well.... It confused me for a bit as I have a i7 920 in the house but it is DOA and needs a new MB I did double check it as I swear I didn't fix it while I was drunk installing the 7950s :rofl: Same problem with the Xeon that showed up I have 2 of them in a dead Skulltrail MB. Here I am running around making sure I didn't mange to fix up other boxes in the house while I was inebriated....

Whoever it is thank you, once I moved past being attacked by zombie CPUs it made me smile... we all have our reason to do what we do... mine is hard to talk about but the short version is I'm 38 I've lost 16 family members to cancer to date for the number people that's almost 2 a year. It is why I do what I can when I can how ever I can.


If I find out who I'll do my best to buy you a round someday :toast:

Apologies all round .... Had major internet/network issue here today for around 18 hours :(

I think it is sorted now ...maybe would have been done sooner if I knew what I was doing. For me Internet and network is so fit and forget ......with emphasis on the forget

Thank you OC! A leader among leaders.

OK all who participated, thanks for answering my PM and joining in the fun! Great job :clap:

Now, it is time to let the details out....

So stop in and fess up to OldChap what you brought this week for him.

I'll start..

i2600k @ 4.5 GHz running 9 WUs on a 7950 @ 1000/1100
E7500 @ 3.8 GHz running 3 WUs on a 7770 @ 1050/1000

Thanks OldChap!

i3-530 with AMD 7850 running 2 gpu tasks
i7-930 4 cpu threads and 2x gtx 470
i7-920 2 cpu threads and 2x gtx 660 ti
i5-3570k 2 cpu threads and 2x gtx 660 ti
i5-3570k 2 cpu threads and 2x gtx 660 ti
fx-4100 3 cpu threads and 1x gtx 650 ti

Eh I just had two measly 2600k's, an 950 and an i5 lappy.

I didn't make the full week but did do 5 days or so
i7-930, 7850 - 8 gpu threads
i7-930, GTX670 - 2 gpu and 6 cpu threads
i7-980X, GTX660Ti, GTX295 - 6 gpu and 6 cpu threads

I had a 2700k + 7950 for a day. I only just figured out the correct app_info, so it wasn't very helpful

I had 2 rigs on your account.

2600K @ 4.5 GHz - ATI 7770 @ 1150/1125 running 4 WU's.
3770 @ 3.9 GHz - ATI 5850 @ 900/1000 running 2 WU's.

I will add the GPU OC info when I get home from work. And will put them back on my own account than too.

Thanks bluestang and all that helped. It was fun to do and see we can get pie when we pull together. :clap:

a 2600k@4.2 and a 7950 with one wu (didnt figure why the app info thing didnt work, but now it does)

Now that's team work :clap: I wish i had a fraction of that with my team at work :shakes:

And there are more...

Now come and own up like OldChap wants us to and take your beatings :)

Got everything going gain and then had to be away from home for 2 days...... Then I come home to this....:eek2:

No wonder those figures were nipping at SAM almost.

Gentlemen. You really did not have to do this, after all it is not as if I did the points for those of you trying for badges.... That too was a group effort!!! .... but..... I have to say that the combined effort on your part for the past week has put a smile on my face every day. This has been fun, at least for me, and I hope you all have enjoyed yourselves along the way.

The trouble is I now have a problem....

I got to like the idea of grabbing another mill every 2 days... How the hell am I going to fund that on my own??? :D

Thank you, one and all, for this. Once again you have all shown the true spirit of this XS team. I am proud to think of you as friends.

You are most welcome OldChap...it was a blast waiting everyday to see where we ended points wise!

I know I had fun :)

Can't wait to do it again actually :yepp:

Edit: Oh yeah...this place is pretty awesome, isn't it!

You're very welcome OldChap! Also it provided us "little guys" a chance at pie. I had no idea we had that amount of horsepower and I was loving it!!!!

Besides it was SC week and its all about the team! The same WU's got crunched whether I crunched them on my system under my account or anyone's account. Its a win win win situation :up:
