a new member that needs a little help

[Okda]

I just got the email about joining Rosetta and i did

downloaded the client and created an account then joined the XS team

now what ?

my system specs are in my sig, what can i do to increase my production and how can i config it to only run @ low priority

how can i config the amount of cpu usage it can use ?

[[XC]Atomicpineapple]

First off, thanks for joining! You should use the latest windows SSE2 version from the page you linked to, its an optimised client so it gives higher benchmark scores, means more points for you and team XS. Just exit BOINC, unzip the files into your BOINC directory and then restart BOINC. R@H already runs at low priority by default, so you dont need to worry there. It uses 100% CPU by default but check the 'your preferences' button i nthe projects tab of BOINC manager for more configuration options

whabt about the client in this page http://calbe.dw70.de/boincw.html

why should i use it and how ?

The work units will usually rin @low priority by default. So they slide out of the way when you start up a game etc. The link you posted are optimizations. So you 1) download the optimizations for SSE2. 2)Close downBOINC. 3) Extract the downloaded zip into your BOINC program folder C:\Program Files\BOINC\. If it asks you to overtwrite... go ahead and overwite the files! 4) Restart BOINC. 5) Go to Advanced>Run CPU benchmarks. Now this is the point where you need to have your machine running nicely... as if you doing a SUPER PI bench... The higher your benches here the highere your score afterwards. Then the work units should start off after the benches...

EDIT: Atomic Pineapple got there while I was writing this.... grrrrrr

[Okda]

so should i run 2 instants of that client cause i have a dual core cpu or just one ?

[[XC]Atomicpineapple]

Nope, the client will just execute two work units simultaneously! If you check in the tasks tab you should see it running 2 work units.

[Okda]

just got those with my cpu @ 2.4Ghz

5/23/2006 8:27:08 PM||Benchmark results:
5/23/2006 8:27:08 PM|| Number of CPUs: 2
5/23/2006 8:27:08 PM|| 4128 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
5/23/2006 8:27:08 PM|| 13479 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU
5/23/2006 8:27:08 PM||Finished CPU benchmarks


so now i should ONLY run the text client and forget about it and Don't start the GUI BoincMAnager , right ?

sorry for asking too much

[[XC] riptide]

Agreed.. it should like this....

[mad mikee]

to XS / Rosetta! Good bench

1. ALWAYS UPDATE after running a BENCH

2. Yes run just the text client and leave boincmgr down (unless you want to what it is doing, then close it afterward).

[Okda]

ok thanks all for the very fast help

[[XC] riptide]

Yes update after benches... (and i knew I was missing it). Oh and welcome to the team!

[sokarul]

I just joined too, and I have a question. How do rosetta know im folding for xs? I didnt have to set a team anywhere.

under account statistics once you login at the boinc website i think

login here

Hmmm Its been a while since my first install... i will install it on one of my Vm's and get back to you.!

You guys are fast

also under the "Projects" tab of the GUI for BOINC Manager under Team XtremeSystems will be showing up.

if you choose to run the cmd line of it you will want to check here after you return some work

R@H Official link: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/top_teams.php

If you have rosetta working go to http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/te...php?teamid=727 and then hit 'Join this team'

If you don;t these are then screenies that you will be giuded through....... First is rosetta attach screenie.....
Then after you do that... then a browser will open up to help you find a team... and you can then search to that team page and hit join!

[[XC] riptide]

You guys are fast

I'd be faster... but its not easy with half a dozen VM's on a gig or ram with 2 instances of Rosetta and host Dimes! Thank god for the 2xraptors page file!

[sokarul]

Thanks I go tthe team selected. I can seem to ind the version 5.50, the one they said is optimised. One link gives me a 404 error.
Edit: I figured it out. The thread thats about setting it up has the bad link. The link up top in this thread has it.

http://calbe.dw70.de/boincw.html you want the latest windows SSE2 version

[OCFreeze]

10x COOL ,niCE !!!
I got the ones with SSE (K7 Athlon) and the result is :

from ~1800 FPU -->2549.3
from ~3050 INT -->10474.97

i noticed that the tetx client connects to the server and download new tasks a lot while the unit it is working is not finished yet

how can i decrease or force the client not to download new units before finishing the current one

[Fr3ak]

You can forbid Boinc to connect to the internet, but this way you will have to update it manually.
Activity -> Suspend network activity

To update: Projects -> Click on Rosetta -> Click update on the left

[[XC]Atomicpineapple]

You need to update your BOINC preferences, click the 'your preferences' button in the projects tab edit you BOINC properties and decrease the 'connect to network about every' time.

[Okda]

ok thanks guys

i will use Fr3ak method
