The "Oh My, Look Who Has Pie" Thread

[Movieman]

Ahhm how fitting..Thanksgiving and I get a small slice of pie..
And here I was wondering if I should sell off the Beast to fund some vid cards!

Time to prepare our gear, cleaning filters, testing cooling fans, power supplies, clocks timing etc... for the next round of GPU tasks.
For what I understand it will be the last opportunity. We will have a 100 days worth of WU's. At our crunching rate and with some additional firepower it may be even less. After that there will be no more GPU crunching at WCG for a long time I suppose. There is no other project mentioned.
It reminds me a film title: There will be blood.

Hate to say I told you so! But lets hope they get some more work soon.

Sam,

There appears to be something wrong with today's XS pie picture. Like possibly three zero suffixes....!

After reviewing yesterday's team's production #s, it becomes quite apparent that our XS WCG points generation process is very dependent on ATI hcc WUs and GPU crunching. The glossary reductions in team production are approx 30% for team 2CH, 15% for IBM and 75% for team XS...

Sam, you just got to re-open that portal.... HyperNova is closing on you anyway...

With most of us using app_info it means those machines stopped crunching entirely. I know I haven't reset my two crunchers back to regular production.

And pie is up for grabs!

Correct. But if you had an app_info file with HCC and another project like GFAM or SN2S then you should have continued crunching. I did this with a few of my rigs, so they continued crunching. But doing it on all the rigs was too much work. Anyway high power fuel is flowing again.

Sam,

Mrs Miggins pie shop must have gotten plenty of pie filling ingredients. Today's XS pie looks a lot more juicier....!!!

Did I just see 10 MILLION WCG points in one day by one person?
Nah, can't be possible..My old eyes must be playing tricks on me!

[stoneageman]

Must be possible, as it's the second time it's happened.

[Movieman]

Must be true, as it's the second time it's happened

It is really a hard fight. Catching that stone rolling in front of me. A big rolling stone...........

I'd love to see the setup he has..
We'll have to start calling him the "DDTUNG of the GPU"...

Sam is it possible to get a small picture of your supercomputers, just to have us drooling.
And btw I wonder how many boards and of what type do you use to achieve over 10 million points?

[jeanguy2]

Eta,

I see that you are ready to engage your computing WARP engines and join SAM in that very exclusive 1,000,000 PPD BOINC points club.

Excellent work...

You can view a picture of one of Sam's rig at post #3 of the "7xxx sexiness" thread http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=1#post5151646 If you read on, Sam does provide a few more details about that particular rig.

Nice work, guys!

[sRHunt3r]

I moved the 3 7950's to one hex rig and added a new 7970, the numbers are still going up!

I am not in the club yet. But a few minutes ago my two new black holes two ASUS HD 7970 Direct CU II went into orbit. This should definitively allow the hyperspace jump over 1M Boinc points/day.
Thanks for the thread. Impressive machines. At the moment I have still one GPU board per CPU. I hesitate to do multiGPU yet. The fact that the CPU has to split itself among the two GPUs, I wonder if it does bring down the performances of the whole set.

Think one thread of your hex cores per GPU WU so a max of 12 per hex cpu..
Now put yourself in my shoes sitting here with a 32 thread machine with a MB that has the required 3xPCI-E X16 slots and no cards to try it.
Boggles my mind to think what this could do with 3-7970's running 32 GPU WU at once..
