    All 4 cores pointed at WCG, getting one brother to set up my loaned Trinity as a temp cruncher, and the other is aligning his crunching with us and might get another PD based right up and running too.
    Richland 6790K @ 4.713 Ghz / 2208 NB / 1123 gpu / 2304 Ram [96 Bclk]
    F2A85-M Pro, Mushkin Black 2133, iGPU (8760D)
    9.7L case (excluding 230mm fan) or 11.6L w/2nd rad fan

    Hey, WCG has just started its new MCM (Mapping Cancer Markers) project! (See parallel thread on this)

    Lots of team members dropped out of crunching at the end of the HCC project, and I think many did this because their primary goal is to contribute to cancer reseach rather than other projects. The end of a GPU project was probably a factor in some cases too.
    I think a lot of those guys would come back for a new cancer project, even if it's CPU only.
    How do we let them know in time for some SC Week action?

    Keep trying to get that mass mailout happening, MM !
    --
    Now, what stats runs will actually be counted in SC week?
    "9-16 Nov" is actually 8 days' runs (9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16)
    I forget what happened on previous occasions.
    ---
    Am trying to get a new machine up - 2600K in MSI Z68A-GD65G3.
    HDD has Win7-x64, trying to set up dual-boot with Debian 7.2. What a nightmare.
    No wonder Linux has gone nowhere.
    (well, I do think it has actually gone somewhere - backwards)

    You do know that Debian is considered a "reference" distro, right? Not really for serious use and quite flakey but handy for building something else from (no, I'm not recommending Ubuntu for the desktop either). Mint is about the most friendly distro I'm aware of right now. The installer is also quite simple to use.

    As far as going backwards ...
    I just discovered that Linux is the OS of choice for the GoPro sports action cameras. Desktop computers really are the only place that Linux doesn't hold market dominance.

    Pfft. If I can get Mint up on an OSX box, you can get it up on a W7x64 bit box. Seriously, I've installed Linux Mint on Vista, W7, and MacOSX drives now. Putting Mint on Vista or W7 boxes has been pretty easy. MacOSX, now that was a PITA.

    For pie I'll be using from 9th 12:00 UTC to 16th 12:00 UTC so as to align with Boincstats updates

    Perfect timing for the SC week, as MCM1 just started! MM, how did you know that?

    Man... We're so close to breaking 10m per day again!

    I pitched in an extra FX 8core (@ 4.4) and a stock A8-6600K today, so I have 20 cores running now.

    C'mon folks this SCW!!
    The other teams used to fear us this time of year...

    If your not crunching WCG, throw us a bone here!

    From sticky thread: "Today's Numbers: Get 'Em While They're Hot!":
    -----------------------------
    Day .................... XS points
    07 Nov 2013 ... 9,321,857
    08 Nov 2013 ... 9,973,315
    09 Nov 2013 ... 9,378,416
    10 Nov 2013 ... 9,585,499

    No increase so far in points for SC Week. Don't think the SC Week message got thru.
    OTOH, the new project has a quorum of 2, so there's often a delay between returning a WU and the points being awarded. We may be in the lag period and points will catch up by the end of the week.

    Anyone dare to put an off-topic post in the Intel & AMD forums, advertising the start of the new cancer project and imploring the cancer-crunchers who left when HCC ended, to come back?
    ---
    The *new* 2600K is online at stock clocks (3.5G w. turbo) crunching under W7-x64 for now, and it got me the burnt slice of pie today.
    Discovered I had hardware instability, fixed that. Installed Deb 7.0.0 no probs, configured GRUB to autoboot Windows loader in case of powerfail, & put it on line, which is how it must stay til SC Week is over.

    Ok, I got the mass email... So it's been a bit ... Hi all .

    Id love to donate some resources, but I've been folding with them ( for a couple teams) id lundrog. Can wcg utilize gpu's as well as folding can? Where can I read about active programs that are using resources ? A year ago I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetics , @ 32, so I have been trying to help resource in that or similar fields when not gaming. That and I lost my grandmother to cancer at 16, and recently my aunt.

    Currently WCG is cpu only. The GPU task completed earlier this year.

    On a positive note, the new cancer project MCM1 is just a few days old.

    We would be happy to see you getting your rigs into that

    MCM project also started, it pushed my cruncher from ~7k to low 3k.

    If you look at the points per Team member on a daily basis, we pretty much kick anybody's a$$ who doesn't borg their university or company computers, including Team 2chan.

    I just traded some server parts for a DL380 g5 with 8 cores. Now if I could only find the edition of SmartStart that lets me install W2008 Server R2 SP2, I'd have 30 cores rockin'.........

    I tried setting up some Virtual Crunchers on Windows Azure, but I had problems accessing them and then seizing root. I will try another stab at it after I get the DL380 up and going.

    Maybe next Super Computer Week we should just pass the hat:

    18 hours, $33K, and 156,314 cores: Amazon cloud HPC hits a “petaflop”

    The company has completed its biggest Amazon cloud run yet, creating a cluster that ran for 18 hours, hitting 156,314 cores at its largest point and a theoretical peak speed of 1.21 petaflops. (A petaflop is one quadrillion floating point operations per second, or a million billion.)

    To get all those cores, Cycle's cluster ran simultaneously in Amazon data centers across the world, in Virginia, Oregon, Northern California, Ireland, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, and S?o Paulo. The bill from Amazon ended up being $33,000.
