Anonymous: I'm coming for you!

[angra]

With the bigbetas, I'm gunning hard to overtake Anonymous - at least in daily or weekly production. It looks promising so far, but it's too soon to say for sure...

Nice job! Coming from a humble folder (even if I was an extreme one), your production is amazing.

hey now, this is XS. There is no call for humility here from anyone!

You're right, we're always aiming for the higher goal... now get to work and put some more servers online so that team XS is breaking

three million

ppd. *insert rofl smiley here*

Very inspiring Mr. Angra. =)

[angra]

I don't think I'm going to make it this week - I've had heavy usage from primary users and I have a 1/2 day power outage coming later in the week. I think I can do it over a week with some good breaks, but this week has gone badly....maybe next week!

[ctgilles]

It's probably been said to death angra but... what systems are you running? I'm getting an SR-2 this/next week with 2x E5649 (hex) Xeons.
Are you running just -bigadv?

[angra]

I am mostly running 18 dual X5660s. I have a few other minor clients, but they are not really relevant at this point.

I am running -bigbeta to get the 6903s, which are getting me about 50% more PPD than -bigadv

Thanks to a newly acquired GTX 460, I'm currently 19 points away from overtaking TheMysticWizard. It's only a matter of time..

I just soiled myself

PSU and memory were in route for delivery but nobody came Its tracking still states "out for delivery" :s Oh God I hope they haven't "disappeared" again :'(
Going to Fedex tomorrow to pick up the CPU's. Turns out they are ES :-/ Might ship them back.

[angra]

At least for one brief moment, I have held the lead over Anonymous for the week. I am not too optimistic of holding it, but we'll see!

[Sparky]

I never thought that possible to be higher than anonymous. That's...nuts.

[angra]

I seem to be getting a lot of "not bigbeta"s:

02:Progress: 78%  [|||||||___] (6903)
08:Progress: 64%  [||||||____] (6903)
07:Progress: 64%  [||||||____] (6903)

14:Progress: 2%  [__________] (2686)
17:Progress: 0%  [__________] (6903)

which is hurting my productivity a bit. A run of good draws on the WU will help a lot.

Will bigbeta fall back to bigadv? Or regular WU's? Would -bigbeta -bigadv fsck something up?

[angra]

I don't know :/.

In the end I was beaten by a good solid 20% for the best week I could muster. I don't think I'll be passing anonymous until I am able to upgrade my facilities.

[Sparky]

Well then, time to upgrade

[angra]

Workin on it! I have 20 C2050 Teslas I could throw into the fray if I could get them up and running under native linux. v7 beta client might be an answer but it seems to require an older version of python than my nodes have installed.

[xVeinx]

I haven't begun to mess with v7 at all, but it might be possible to install a separate version of python and point it to that. I have older versions of ActivePython in tar files that I can give you access to on my webserver if you need them, or can compile an older build for you. I think you are using Fedora 13, and I have a workstation with the same, along with one on SL6...

[angra]

Nodes are now fc14. I really can't play with the configuration too much - they really need to be pretty close to standard for the main users.
