Cuboid - Short DC Project

[Silverthorne]

Here's a new DC project called Cuboid if anyones interested. I started a team and you may have to input "TeAm Anandtech" when you first install. Don't know much about it but I have us on the stats page.

looks interesting, but as far as I can tell, it's for Windows XP only.

still running 2K Pro.

Cool thanx Silverthorne!

 

[Silverthorne]

The teams now in 4th place.

Interesting. I've downloaded it and it's running. Looks like something that should be done in Leiden Classical. I don't know how much I'll do with it here.

 

[BlackMountainCow]

Hmm ... doesn't work on my laptop computer, just hangs.

 

[Silverthorne]

Now we're in 3rd place.

It does not work on my comps either. A description of the problem is here.
The Cuboid devs have no forum though ... which is sad ... will look around a little more though.

Yip, exactly the same thing happens here for me on a Core Duo notebook.

I also played with the "affinity" settings, to let it run on one core only, but that didn't work either!

 

[Silverthorne]

Not sure why the client won't run properly for you guys but I do have it running on around 12 comps without any problems. I even have multiple clients running on hyper threaded machines and 4 on my Xeons.

 

[Silverthorne]

Today is the first time that it looks like my clients are not running like what you guys have described but they actually are. If I watch them for awhile they stop but they do run again, it looks like it has something to do with the total energy. When it's really high, like around 500, it appears to stop but then the energy goes down and it runs again.

Would be great if you guys would try it again as we're still in 3rd place but now we're only around 7 million behind AMD Users and they have 11 members to our 3.

Anyone tell me who our 3rd member is, Andrew van Slageren?

 

[Ken g6]

I think it may have to do with cuboids spinning like tops for awhile, before settling on a side. I've seen that several times during the animation phase.

I had a really good run today. My computer somehow got simulation parameters that only rolled the cuboid in one axis. This made for really fast WUs, and I got half a million rolls done in just a few hours. Unfortunately, the stats haven't updated in 4 hours, so I can't see my results yet.

That would be me

 

[Silverthorne]

Ok coolkid, I was just curious.

Thanks for crunching with us.

Works on my computer that has Intel Celeron 2.40GHz Northwood processor (it sucks!). Haven't tried it on my other computers yet, they are all offline at the moment.

I even have multiple clients running on hyper threaded machines and 4 on my Xeons.

Good for you, I only get to run it on my laptop. Cuboid and BOINC are the only two distributed computing apps that I have found, do not flatline my laptop.

 

[Stalin PoG]

Cuboid... cuboid...

While I'm cubing here, how many sim's do you people finish every hour (on average) and what is animation speed relative to real time?

 

[Silverthorne]

I think the animation speed has always been at 0.4 but I could be wrong.
I have no idea how many simultions are done per hour as It seems to change with different perameters.

 

[Stalin PoG]

bumps to get attention

 

[Dalephi]

I noticed there are two different names for our TeAm: TeAm Anandtech & TeAm AnandTech. Will this show up as two different TeAms?

I've seen it appear as 2 different teams on the free dc page. The first name, TeAm Anandtech, was the proper one that I had created the team with. On the cuboid stats page our team only appears as having 2 members but the stats are correct with the 2 different names.

 

[Silverthorne]

We sure could use some more team mates here to catch AMD Users. Remember this only runs till OCT 20. Right now I'm giving her all shes got. LOL

 

[Stalin PoG]

I was in the one with the AnandTech. I sent a mail asking to merge it to the one with 2 members.

 

[BlackMountainCow]

@ Silverhorne: I always thought that "TeAm Anandtech" was the proper name of our team

 

[BlackMountainCow]

I tried Cuboid on my X2, and again, it just hangs!

That's the third PC it won't work with.

Yes, that was the name I used as stated in the begining of this thread.

Are you sure it's hanging and not just doing what it's supposed to? Right now the work is very slow, the cube will not just sit there and spin.
