Hey guys,

I haven't seen a thread on D2OL in a bit, so I made one. 😛

Geoff, thanks for the stats still for all the various projects.

Just wondering how many still crunch for D2OL and still read the DC forum.

Enjoy a :beer: on me.
 
I crunched a little D2OL. I've stopped, though, since I sold all my computers and went to college. I may start back up for a while since BOINC doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast.

EDIT: I just started D2OL up on my Athlon 64 3200+. We'll see how it goes!
 
Not planning to do any more D2OL. FaD uses less memory, has smaller work units to download, and I think it has more potential, so when I next do a biotech project that will be it. But for now I'm focused more on primes.
 
I'm doing good Shame. 🙂

And in roughly a week, I and a friend are gonna be joining one of TA's DC projects and thus do a little cow tipping of our own!. 😉

I still have one machine running D2OL. It's a AXP @ 1.6GHz. I mostly run FaD now. If I ever get the rest of my machines running, I'll be doing more in both projects.
 
Since DF shut down, have switched all my machines over to D2OL, doing anywhere from 100 to 300 units a day. Have moved up 600 spots overall since I started back up on it.
 
hey guys! Good to see we still have a following in this project... I bop over to the forums on occasion, but really lost the desire to be running that project... have there been any significant changes to the client and the management of the project?

I will, of course, keep the stats up and running! D2OL is still the most popular project... check out http://geoff.resodirect.com/admin/page_hits.php 🙂 I'm kinda surprise that SB isn't more popular... that's updated hourly and seems to have good info on it, but it just never took I guess... Each project that I've added has had changes made to the display and the dayend rollover process, including hourly updates. My plans are to fix DPAD, then update the D2OL pages to update hourly. I'll be changing the node information page to update 4 times/day instead of hours... that process is a bit DB-intensive and slows the system down every bottom of the hour. Since the nodes only update every 4 hours, I figure nobody will really be missing anything... the goal was to identify stuck nodes... updating the nodes file hourly doesn't help identify stuck nodes anymore since the nodes only upload every 6 hours... does that make sense to the rest of you? 🙂

I would hate to see the node stats go to 4hr updates 🙁 I and many on the team live off those things. That and I think it would make it hard to quickly catch a dead node... It could sit there for 4 hrs before you could even see it.

I hope XtremeSystems can look forward to a good fight here soon! I would be disappointed if our OT date of 107.79 days stands 😛 You guys still kicken over here?
 
I still do D²OL, but I haven't checked it for a while, and I only now realize somethings not working. I'll fix that tomorow. I'll be back to this great project with a few extra machines soon! 😀

Have they changed the client? Last I knew, the client tried to connect automatically every 6 hours, and there was no way to override that, was there? So, if the client only updates every 6 hours anyway, you won't know until the 7th hour that it's not crunching... makes sense to me... am I missing something?

Geoff
 
I understand that, but they still only update every 6 hours, right? So, if I update the stats every 6 hours, what's the longest a node will go before being detected as being non-responsive?
 
Well... I'll give it some thought... but I have to weigh the processing time of the nodes file (and node numbers are over 100k now, so that file is huge) against performance on the system for the other 5 projects that are hosted. I'm looking at another way of doing it so it may not be an issue, but the process currently runs about 10 minutes and everything else runs more slowly (causing some pages to time out) when that is running...
