Countdown to HCC Completion Thread!

[bluestang]

Oh, I can do the photo thing for you. In fact, I'll take the 300mm f/4 off your hands for no charge.

I just picked up the Kirk NC-300 collar for it. Going out Sunday morning to see what wildlife I can capture

I'll actually be selling it towards the end of the year. And my D300 as well. May try and pick up a 300mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8

Very nice. I just picked up a Manfrotto 190CXPRO 3, Benro B3 ball head, SB-700, and a flash extender. When you sell the 300mm f/4, let me know. I have finals this coming week so I'll have to wait until next Sunday to go out.

My system is now running high priority and is causing major slow downs? My w/u's are all out of order causing my gpu to get out of sync with my cpu

Did you get a bunch of resends?

[BlindShot]

Did you get a bunch of resends?

Yes I got a big load of them.

[0ne.shot]

I hope resends this soon won't mean the beginning of the end.

How do you identify a "resend"?

How do you identify a "resend"?

I have no clue, but if there are resends already I'd better cherish my current stockpile of WUs while it lasts.

Well, I'm setting my monsters up to crunch WCG tasks with my non-GPU threads and joining other Projects like Einstein@Home to give my GPUs a honorable job. It looks like you have a few non-WCG to keep your GPUs busy as well. The end of HCC1 is not the end of the world.

[stoneageman]

Just had to do a reinstall & the server is saying no tasks available for HCC

Just checked some of my other hosts & they are reporting the same. Looks like it's the end

[Rob_B]

Same here. Not getting any new wu's today.

[Snow Crash]

We are not done yet ... I'm getting new and resends as I type!

[stoneageman]

Guess somebody squeezed the tube as getting a trickle now

[yojimbo197]

The Q9550 cruncher only has WU's from Thurs-Saturday. The i5 rig has WU's dated through 4/28. How quickly I will go through those however....

[nanoprobe]

How do you identify a "resend"?

The very last number of the task will end with _2 or higher.

[Gandalf]

The very last number of the task will end with _2 or higher.

I'm seeing 5/16 as a Deadline date. The task ends with _1.

[0ne.shot]

I forgot to resume the WCG project after a short pause. There goes 10 hours of wasted time.

I see _2's on cpu hcc stuff, but not the GPU stuff.

[Sparky]

I've got some GPU resends in my queue, but not a lot. Queue looks to be about normal length currently.

[Johnmark]

If only you knew how many times I forgot to restart wu's after realigning it's enough to make a person sick
And of course there is the occasion lock up that has occurred, only to find out days later a 7950/7970 hasn't been in production

But hey I met all my goals and plus got to 100m boinc pts., so I'm happy.
Even the wife is happy as we will now be able to pocket the $250 monthly electricity cost currently being spent on crunching.

That is why God, Microsoft, created the Startup folder.

Edit: I'm seeing _2 tasks, now.

[Embalmed]

damn, seeing _2 gpu tasks now... grrr

I was hoping to get to my 2 year mark before it kicks.

anyone know how accurate boinc's GFLOPS for cards is?

been getting a lot of invalids on my server lately and this is what boinc posts when it starts
CAL: ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon HD 7870/7950/7970 series (Tahiti) (CAL version 1.4.1741, 2048MB, 1865MB available, 50 GFLOPS peak)

that's 7870 xt btw
edit 2: and yeah the os is debian 7
edit3: funny facts

it was working fine on old motherboard running ubuntu and some amd drivers taht i can't remember
i switched to debian to avoid bloat and cause my deluge started to segfault for no good reason, installed latest stable drivers from AMD site, but they couldn't recognize 7870 XT so i went with 13.3 beta, and after that i've been getting a lot of invalids

trying 13.2 beta now to see if it is any better (still reports 50 GFLOPS tho)

I do not have a 7870 and I use WIN 7, so I cannot give you a straight GFLOPS comparison. Your GFLOPS number of "50 GFlops peak" appears to be quite low. Here are my figures: 2 X 7970 each display = 11264 "GFLOPS peak"; 2 other X 7970 each display = 11776 "GFLOPS peak" and 2 X 7950 each display = 10750 "GFLOPS peak"

Yeah, that's why i'm asking if someone knows how boinc gets those peak numbers (actually calculate or get it from a driver) 50 gflops is lower than that of a g-series APU
