24 days of new work remaining for HPF2

[fallwind]

I have some 980x machines running Server 03 that do well on HPF2 so if anyone needs some help just PM my your weak key.

[bluestang]

Got your PM.....thanks Bryce!

[bluestang]

We pulled 30.5 days today

I had my Q6600 lose power Saturday night and couldn't get to it until this morning to power I back up

We should start ramping up now that the rigs are settling in

Some more info that explains why the project is ending sooner than what we thought...

Great read - thanks!

[bluestang]

Our Senators and Congressman need to read it.

[bluestang]

Another 44 days knocked off today guys

[fallwind]

[bluestang]

48 days for today

How many do you need now to get your badge?

And One-shot, how are you doing?

My PV's should get me over my 3 year target.

[bluestang]

Man! this project just loves to throw errors.

We've thrown 71 errors since 5/19.

Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2
0:212:19:44:42

~45 days/day avg plus PVs, I would estimate we hit Sapphire in ~10 days from now.

Looks like I have 51 threads running for me...Snow's 25 + Fall's 12 + my 14 = 51

And One-shot, how are you doing?

Yes, let us know what you need. No reason we can't get you Sapphire as well with ~19 days left.

[Rob_B]

Looks like I have 51 threads running for me...Snow's 25 + Fall's 12 + my 14 = 51

I have added 8 threads too.

And have 8 more for One-shot if he wants them.

[bluestang]

I have added 8 threads too.

And have 8 more for One-shot if he wants them.

Thanks Rob

We should be able to hit our goal sooner then. And we can then jump on to someone else.

Hey Bill, how short of your 10 year goal will you be?

[wplachy]

Thanks Rob

Hey Bill, how short of your 10 year goal will you be?

Looks like about 2 years. When I saw that GFAM was ending in 2 weeks or less I switched everything over to that one. I can make 20 years if I don't run into problems and it will give the other team members more HPF2 WUs to make their goal.

Thanks for asking

Cost of Cloud Computing

We do a lot of calculations in the lab to try to capture what is happening at the level of protein structure and function but sometimes we do “back of the envelope” calculations just for fun. For instance, a new postdoctoral fellow (“post-doc”) joined our lab a few years ago and while we were explaining the Human Proteome Folding Project to him he blurted out:

“That's a lot of computation! How much would that cost on the cloud?!?”

The “cloud” he was referring to, of course, was the resizable web service grid offered by companies like Google, Amazon, or IBM. Current prices per cpu hour for cloud computing are decreasing rapidly, and 3.5 cents is a reasonable estimate to use. We plugged this value into our calculation and we got a very large number.

122901 cpu years * 365 days/year * 24 hours/day * .035 dollars/cpu hour = $37,681,446

[bluestang]

48.5 days done today...

Can the guys offering cores up and not getting any takers look at the 14 days of GFAM work remaining thread and see if you help can someone out over there also.

Thanks!

[Otis11]

122901 cpu years * 365 days/year * 24 hours/day * .035 dollars/cpu hour = $37,681,446

Yeah, but that doesn't take into account the multiple runs necessary to confirm results on the grid that they wouldn't have had to do if they had a supercomputer.

More like $17 Mill...

Edit: Actually, I have to question this calculation: I ran out my numbers and it says I've contributed $26,600... If that's the case, show me where to sell it. I can use that money to fund even more crunchers....

[bluestang]

Pulled 40 days today.

Currently at 324.5 days

Edit: 6-1/2 pages of errors

[fallwind]

The machine I put on your account runs Win 7 x64 so it throws a few errors per day with HPF2. They all occur less than a minute in so no big loss.

[bluestang]

Yep, all occur very quickly. My 2 rigs that are throwing errors are W7 x64 also, and so are Snow's and Rob's.

[Rob_B]

That could be a problem if we are going to need resends. AFAIK resends go to error free machines that return wu's within 2 days.

[bluestang]

We should hit Sapphire way before the need for resends

[bluestang]

Side note, anybody paying attention to DSFL....days are dropping off like a rock.

[Rob_B]

Another one ending soon. I'm trying to get all projects to atleast 3 years runtime. Got it for HPF2 and I should get it for GFAM too if every things works out. DSFL will be next.

The only active projects I don't have Sapphire for are DDDT2 and Beta testing.

Snow Crash, fallwind, Rob_B .....

In case you haven't notice, we've been enjoying some collective Strawberry Pie!
