OFFICIAL Holloween Race Roster & Details

[Rise]

FALLOUT 3!!@!!@#$J#~

no it's not off topic. In fact, it's very very relevant. Relevant to the # of PPD I'll be out putting in a given day until I beat this game

[coo-coo-clocker]

got my first eue today, it sucks my other gso is crunching away, but one on an eue fit. is there any way to just restart the card that is not folding? if not, how do i restart both gpu clinets with out loosing my work?

Just restart the clients, and see how they go.
If it's still crapping out, the loss of a 480 pt GPU WU is not a calamity. Just stop the client, delete the work folder, queue.dat, and unitifo.txt and then restart.

[Sparky]

Well my production today is gonna suck thanks to the wonderful 5801 units debacle

[WFO]

WFO/ knocks on wood. Things seem to have stabilized. All my clients have been running well for about 4 hours. Daks penalty assessments are killing me. Only 62K today.

The team is down about 200K.

[road-runner]

Yea mine seem to be going good now also, its about bed time for me so we will see tomorrow...

[Marvin_The_Martian]

No it doesn't HACK queue.dat. It simply auto creates multiply working folders and sets up many clients ot he same PC. You could actually do it manually, but it would be tiresome. It creates a nice little GUI for that.

Ok it doesn't hack the queu.dat files it creates many 'ghost' clients... Same thing

And furthermore to this.... If you actually thought about this for a second WE ARE DOING MORE science and work for Pande while his dayum servers are offline, if implemented with UDmon.
So yes. In some circumstance, such as a GPU server outage it IS better for science. The insinuation that I or others by merely using UDmon as not "follow the rules" annoys me. And this is not the first time we spoke about UDmon.

Whats this about your turnaround drops with SMP? Is this with Dual SMP? as in longer WU completetion time for each?

Stuff it. The WU gets done in good time. I expect that the WU's done on this team are a good margin faster than what WU's get done on the rest of the teams.

Want to get linked to where PG says caching of wu's is against policicy and why? You know damn well what it says. So 'Stuff it' yourself

As to the rest, read this..

It's also abit of a non issue

I don't care if I anoy you, if you think I'm breaking rules, fine do as you did before and delete my posts and ask for me to be banned, if I don't break any rules, you could just as well keep your comments for yourself as they have no influence on me whatsoever.

Then, I did tests on dual smp return times when I was a member of Redline. The outcome was what I just showed you, if I clocked at 3.6 or above, my return times would be sufficient to justify dual smp because I would still comply with the well known whish from Stanford for the quickest possible turnaround times. I would link you to it, but you know I can't ( maybe SnW or RiotCity can though, if that thread/conversation hasn't been pruned? ).

I think you're out of line Riptide.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

for anyone confused by the dual smp discussion..... it's pretty easy to put some numbers on it.

We'll use my setup as an example to demonstrate:
I have 3 Q6600's@3.33ghz all Vista 64 running dual smp's and 8800gt's...

using an example of a smp wu 2665: (preferred deadline=144hrs)
-with dual smp's those 3 Q6600's can turn and burn 6 wu's every 30hrs.
-with single smp's they turn and burn 3 wu's every 20hrs...

what this means is:
-a dual smp setup nets me .2 wu/hr
-a single smp setup nets me .15 wu/hr
which of those rates benefits science more?
more wu's per hour OR less wu's per hr?


it's a pretty easy logical mathematical equation... the more efficient model wins (more wu's per hour).
intel quad = dual smp
(of course, unless you're in xp running gpu's, then the gpu core starts stealing cores from smp)...
(in Vista, the gpu doesn't steal an entire core, so I can also run a gpu client with dual smp's on my Vista intel quads)...

http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.ph...+wu%27s#p56078
http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.ph...=caching#p6972

I can go on, but do I really have to? It's not about wu's per hour, it's about turnaround time per wu.

Still remember I got no problem with dual smp per se if their clocked high enough, and I take everyone here clocks his higher then I can so for XS it might be a mute issue. That still doesn't mean there is no point in repeating what I been repeating, as it is the policy of this project.

Sorry Marvin but it was funny, and the fact that someone is taking it seriously is making it even funnier Please don't hurt me *gets flame shield*

Maybe I was to affected, especially when people start to come back and say how they ment it.

I have to say that Mike did a good job at that, I probably didn't look at the aspect of blowing of steam ( or I just didn't feel that what was said could fell under blowing of steam, still not sure ).

Anyway I'm just as pissed as you guys are, maybe less since I only have one idle card when there are problems and most off you have allot more hw invested in the project, I just don't need to blow steam at the PG ( anymore.. ) if they mess something up, atleast I hope not in a way someone else could see as demeaning/insultive.

[Kondik]

I apologise for non contributing to the XS F@H team yesterday but it was National Holliday here = Another Work Day just from home and the clients running in the backround were bugging me off and afterwards a good 6 hour Dead Space streak [ yes ... Pooped my pants a couple of times ] didn't allow me to do even a single PPD

[DAK1640]

Finally, production back to norm...No more 5801's. Things are running well.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

What remarks? I can understand the frustration of some. But since nobody is advocating voilence on a personal basis, the natural venting is ok.

Tbh, this is the one that got to me..

Sorry to answer your posts in the wrong order, should have started with this one and ended with the one I replied to above. Or I should have spend a whole lot of time cutting and pasting to get it into one post, but then again that doesn't seem to be required anyway But, I repleid to everything, and the above link isn't ment to spur new discussion or repleis, just clarification. I didn't think about Mike needing to blow of steam to stay interested and motivated, that's a misjudgement on my part and I apologized for not understanding it. Like he said, it was ment to cause a laugh, and if you can't laugh about it you should ignore it.

Thing is, it was on the border of being just insultive and demeaning with not much there to laugh about IMO and just so you know, I'm not totally alone in the notion the PG deserves respect in the first place.

Case closed yes?

[DAK1640]

Being that everything is working again & stabilized, Penalties for WFO are back in force...

[MikeB12]

Case closed yes?

Fair enough, case closed court adjourned...

back to the thread subject...
give me about 30 minutes to put together a XSR
for the "DAY AFTER THE PERFECT STORM OF 5801",
and then everyone can complain about their low ppd yesterday...

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Thanks Mike

And yeah where is our update

[DAK1640]

Penalty WFO...

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Whiskey we need to step it up... Dak1640 fair playing time is over just deflate those tires and press the button... don't look at me, I got a vw beetle, not a dragracer like you

Kondik stop turning that rig off at night, I'll buy you some earplugs
skycrane I hope those deino's are all up and running now
Anyone else with troubles with clients, I don't mind some personal 'coaching' to get them in order ( no I can't fix your eue's, whish I could, but if you got a setup problem I'm always willing to help )

Don't think I can contribute more ppd atm with my hw untill eue rate goes down, but I will do my best as always to get your output at maximum

[DAK1640]

You're right Marvin, we need to step it up...If the farm stays green My max daily could be 87K ppd...My son often takes a compy somewhere, my rig at work gets beat, and my office Rig gets abused by the family... I need to move my Farm to a safe haven...Anyway, I should be able to maintain approx 70K per day. Thanks for offering to help other Whiskey members. Let me suggest you help WFO "tweak" his farm...like down to 10K ppd.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Lol you know that installer I am working on, it has this nice coded in feature like this

If UserName = "WFO" and TeamNumber = "36362" then UserName = "Marvin_The_Martian"

[DAK1640]

Lol you know that installer I am working on, it has this nice coded in feature like this

If UserName = "WFO" and TeamNumber = "36362" then UserName = "Marvin_The_Martian"

Installer approved & pure genius...Let me suggest that get distributed to all FoxTwat members with a slight mod to move their output over to Whiskey

Morning output as far as my screen can stretch...I really need a bigger screen, anyone wish to donate?

[MikeB12]

just added gallardo's official team chart graphics..

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Dak I'm not even listed

Need moar folding hw, MOAR

[DAK1640]

This race is expensive...I just bought a GSO off of Ebay for $63.99 + free ship...

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Christmas and 'Sinterklaas' ( dutch holiday ) are coming, expensive months ahead and I haven't even told the missus yet I'm getting some more toys... I'm cutting back on smoking to make up for it

[Rise]

This race is expensive...I just bought a GSO off of Ebay for $63.99 + free ship...

why???? they are only 49.99 on newegg!!!

PS. windows update screwed me again.

[MikeB12]

lol Rise.. I got screwd too.. 3 machine supdated and rebooted last night at 3AM. luckily I'm an early bird and caught it at a little after 4am..

I still refuse to manually update... I'd rather wakeup to find it done than sit and watch it happen on 4 pc's manually.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

I have auto update on, but it needs to ask me which updates I want to install. Still I had bad drivers slip through, but I need the updates to keep this windoze from being to leaky So next time, I just got to pay more attention!
