Joining World Community Grid the easy way

[hlonipha]

sorry for all the questions!!
I installed boinc on my c: drive and I used ssd's in raid 0. Will running boinc on my ssd's deteriorate them? do i need to install boinc on one of my regular hdd (d:\ drive) ? will it be ok to leave it on my raid 0 array of ssd's?

[Vinas]

That's how I run it. The ssd's are so fast I could care less TBH.

I'd say you can expect 30-35k PPD on WCG with that i7 depending on the projects you're running.

I'm curious about that 275 on GPUGrid though... 780 core? what are the shaders at? That thing might be able to make 40K PPD...?

Shaders at 1620mhz which is the most I could get out of it at stock voltage. I'll see if I can get the shader up some more. I'll probably clock it down some, maybe back to its stock voltage for GPUGrid because IDK how much stress this is putting on the caps. I'm running 1.28v (stock was 1.17, DMM read 1.14)) and I have heard that around 1.3-1.35 caps start to burst. I'd like the card to last at least the next year. Its been folding at a 740mhz core for 6months with a slightly less boost in voltage, and a few months at its max-stock voltage OC before that, seems to be hold up well though.


edit: Another quick question, how much of a boost does HT offer? When I run Folding@Home I see little to no boost in the newer releases.

Thanks for the guide! Will definitely hang about through the supercomputer week, and hopefully a while longer after that

Replaced the dead links with the orginal pics BUT remember, it's the XtremeSystems team you want to join not TPU

Is it wrong?

That is what Dave really meant.

To join the XS team, you would go to this page.

Cool, Fixed
But somebody has to change that picture.

[sierra_bound]

Yes, someone will do that. The original poster seems to have disappeared. He put all the original pics at the Photobucket.com hosting site and later deleted them. So all people saw were a bunch of boxes with the Photobucket logo in them.

[Sam_oslo]

Cool
I hope the rest is right. Just got it up and running, how does it looks like? Do I have to do something else before 1. May?

[sierra_bound]

Everything looks fine. The work units for each project vary as far as time to completion. CPU speed is also a factor. Once each unit is completed, it will automatically be sent back to the WCG servers, though not right away. BOINC uses a scheduler. If for some reason it's not sending back the completed work units, go to the Projects tab on the BOINC Manager and hit Update. That will force the servers to take in the completed units.

For some reason my photobucket account got banned (grrrrr). So all the images got fubar'd. Thanks for re-hosting them!
Sorry for being less active around here. I kind of got bored of WCG (but hope to rejoin soon).

Looks like 123Bob is trying to up TR's numbers.
Guess he is the one that uped the newest photos.

[sierra_bound]

Bob used Angmaar's pics with some modifications for the other team he crunches for. We borrowed Bob's pics to replace the missing ones. I gave Dave a couple of replacement pics. When he has time, I'm sure he'll insert them into the first post. I can't modify other people's posts in this section.

If Angmaar still has copies of the original pics, he can always replace them himself. Just needs to find another hosting site.

[Lu523]

I know, was just messing with Bob a bit. To be honset I have a rig over at TR.


Good to see the team working to pull this off.

Hey Lu, SHHHHH.....It's all part of my master plan to rule the world...

If I edited these pics for this thread, they would have to be put in by MM. I can't edit Angmaar's post either. I'm up to my eyeballs in other stuff right now but I'll try to get a corrected post up tonight. I think I'll start a new thread and give Angmaar due credit for it.

Angmaar, as to photo_bucket, I don't get them sometimes. They zorched a really good picture I had posted of Raquel Welch, but they let racier stuff go by.... I think they were just jealous that such an old lady looked so good, long before they were born....

Sadly, I lost my original pictures.
Whats another good hosting site BTW? I was thinking imageshack.

I didn't have any of that "stuff" on my photobucket. I messed with some of the "personal" settings to add a bit more privacy and then it gets banned.
I'll take new correct pics in a bit and will post them.

[Lu523]

God I love this place. I can mess with someone and they come right back at me.
I know Bob is doing all that he can for the team. As are many others. I am glad to be be part of such a great group.

[Angmaar]

I switched the TR team Join to XS. They're hosted at ImageShack and saved the pictures this time. (I didn't sign up for an account though, that shouldn't be a problem right?).
Happy crunching!

Sorry for the mix up.

OK Angmaar, thanks for saving me the work... A couple of tweaks and we should be back somewhere near your original.

1. Please remove MM's red text at the top. The pictures have been updated by you.

2. Most of the text in the body of the post is from TR. That's fine, go with it if you like but please change all my references from "TR" to "XS" or "Xtreme Systems".

3. You are most welcome to clean it up for new users by taking the quote marks out and removing my sign off if you want. You generated the original post, I'm just glad I had this one to help pay back the debt....

What we want here is a clean install guide for those who have never done this. I think we are very close.

And to the new folks out there, WELCOME! I think we are on our way to showing one heck of a supercomputer here....

to the Xtreme Machine....

My best,
Bob

Am I doing something wrong?. It has been running all night, and i woke up to 12 pages results, but no pints. :Noob:
An I updated the project too.

[D_A]

Those aren't all returned results. Those twelve pages include everything that you have waiting in your queues waiting to run AS WELL as what you've finished and returned. To check what work you have pending validation you need to play with those drop-boxes and filter the list to show only Pending Validation units. hth

[Movieman]

Sam, Like DA said, use the drop downs like this:

[Sam_oslo]

Sam, Like DA said, use the drop downs like this:

No valid records, the list is empty, but I know it has finished several tasks. That's what made me worry if I was doing something wrong.

But when i look more, under "My Statistics"-menu and "Statistics By Projects"-section it says:
"Statistics are unavailable until within 24 hours after returning your first result to the server."

Maybe this 24 hours after start applies to all points and statistics? I hope so, otherwise something is wrong.
