oops... almost forgot to put in the team for those two installs! :roll:

Now... all this time, the dual XP1800+ stats server has been dedicated to just running stats... I wonder....

The only questions is WHICH DC project should be running on the stats box... I may be biased, but I believe FaD would be an excellent choice. By default it will take advantage of the dual CPUs and will also not use CPU when it is required by other apps.

 

[GeoffS]

Fired up FaD on just now... I'll monitor to see if response is impacted and pull it if it is...

 

[GeoffS]

btw.. I'm a one-project-guy... I like devoting all my power to just a single project at a time... dunno why, just am...

 

[networkman]

My provider is TDS Metrocom(they've been very good to me), I had them check the DSL line(yeah, redundant, sorta like NIC card) ... anyway, they report it IS up and they can PING the modem/router; however, the internal DHCP server is still fubar'd, so I'm going to try another DSL modem and turn on DHCP in one of my servers for the time being until I can get a replacement.

Hope to have more FaD results in tomorrows run.

Sure makes it easier
At least it gives you a change to catch up with me.

bty does anyone have a mass remote service install for FaD ?

 

[GeoffS]

Yeah... I know you're spread out pretty good... coming for you just the same!

service install would be nice... is there a link for that somewhere?

 

[Freewolf]

I wish

Mondobyte or Silverthorne, just curious how many machines either of you have working for FaD. I am impressed with the amount of points you can generate. And I need to know what I am up against, if you do not mind telling.

My hordes are waning ... at peak ... hmm perhaps I had between 125 to 150 nodes running (maybe more). At a certain point ... numbers of nodes processing becomes indistinct. Any day, I might have a several dozen nodes offline. I use the term nodes instead of machines because many of the machines are multiple processor or HT or both which results in multiple nodes per machine. There are machines that are running FaD that I have not "visited" in person ... ever. I remotely installed the client and it runs as a service. So ... the technique is "find" the machine, "FaD" it, ... and "forget" it. (of course, with the written permission of the owner).

I've "idled" at least 80 nodes about 3 weeks ago and most will not return to the hordes in the near future. What is left is still "crunching" steadily but there are a lot of slow computers in the mix. I'll be "idling" another segment of nodes in the next month or so. As I recover from my situation, I may be able to bring those machines back online but that is probably months away.

At a certain "level" of production the numbers kinda blur into an average points per day of output that is pretty consistent. I know that it sounds like a pretty cavalier approach but ... hey ... all fact -- no brag.

Keep 'Em Crunching!

Thanx man!

I hope you gain your health back sooner than later. We are always here for a chat when you feel the desire.

I hope on day FaD works on an antibiotic for Staph... it seems like real nasty crap!


Take Care

Staph is getting harder and harder to treat with todays drugs. Nearly kill both of my parents at one time or another.

Very nasty "crap" ... much nastier than I would have ever anticipated.

The mend is slow ... but I am on the mend, I believe, ... at this point.

Cannot express how disappointed I am with my current situation. This was unexpected!

We all pick an choose our battles but this one was certainly one I would not choose to do again.

 

[networkman]

My DSL modem/router fried - am awaiting replacement - probably mid-week. Until then, no uploads from me.

 

[GeoffS]

The good thing is that I understand the client has intelligence built into it so that is generates its own work if it can't connect, so keep those crunchers fired up!
