Quiet around here

[ochadd]

Been fairly excited to get a few new machines and get them crunching towards Team Anandtech. This forum seems kind of dead. Are people posting on another forum or is everyone content to let the machines sit and crunch?

 

[jonesthewine]

What are you crunching, and what hardware do you have?

 

[Orange Kid]

Welcome, please don't let the slience scare you. We are all so transfixed watching our computers work we sometimes forget to speak.
Please do pick a project and fire it up.
If you need help, someone will come out of their trance and give you a hand that is a given

or we are waiting for seti to fix thier servers and forget about everything else

Super frustrated about that right now, as much as I love it being 20 degrees cooler in here!!

Hiya ochadd... I did see you were crunching some Milkyway, so your hardware peeked out.

If you're going to keep at it there, I highly suggest you get the projects optimized clients at zslip.com, even better if you have an HD38xx or HD48xx/HD49xx GPU. :thumbsup:

Mainly I do SETI but I've been having all kinds of issues with it this week. Combination of getting optimized apps working and the servers not giving me work. Still not 100% sure if everything is working. All my workunits just uploaded about 30 seconds ago so maybe it's alright.

Right now I'm doing SETI, Rosetta, Climateprediction, and started GPUGRID last night. Ten cores and two GPUs.

SETI
AMD X2 4850e 2.5ghz
AMD X2 Turion 1.6ghz
Intel T7250 2ghz

SETI, GPUGRID, Climate Prediction
e7400@4ghz
GTX 260 downclocked to 500mhz core 1100 shaders

SETI, Rosetta, Folding
e6750@2.66 - Rosetta
ATI 2400HD

Once I can get a steady supply of work units for SETI I'll probably just do that and Rosetta.

I probably will not continue as it was just a filler for lack of work units. I'll keep that in mind though. Are there any optimized apps for Rosetta?

will make one observance:...

it's a bit fecking sad when it seems you have nearly as much hair growing out of your ears as you do growing out of your head.
and trying to cut it with scissors without getting multiple ear-piercings can be a bit of a ah heck!

don't mind me

Hi ochadd
Nice fleet you have .
Occasionally quiet around here, but we soon pipe up
So what ppd are you getting on SETI & how many points have you got?

 

[TAandy]

i'm going to ask a probably stupid question...
again!

it's to do with member status.
how on earth are these worked out???

i used to think it was to do with number of posts.
but there are 2 elite members here....

one has 2505 posts, and the other has 20820 posts???

not that i'm aspiring to be elite, but i'm slightly confused hehe

Last I checked I'm 4k points away from 100k. Should hit that tonight. I've never had this many machines going and it's likely I won't for very long after I hit 200k.

Total for BOINC I was doing 5000 a day but since moving everything over to optimized apps yesterday it looks like I could hit 8000 or better.

I've commandeered two laptops, my mothers computer, my work computer, and my home computer Eventually I'll be back to my e7400 and GTX 260 at home. Maybe mothers computer part time but I've got her running Linux Mint and haven't figured out how to keep it going between restarts yet.

Thinking about buying a Phenom 9600 setup. I've got memory and a power supply laying around at home so it would cost me $125 total to have a quad core going at it permanently.

It's purely a political process.

Write a lot of PMs, kiss a lot of arse, and do stats for a project seems to be the most direct route.

(edit: I've always taken it as a compliment that it would be unthinkable to consider Sid as 'Eleeeeeete')

The normal status ratings are based on post count; "elite" status is an exception. A senior moderator (i.e. mod about those that are elected I believe) nominates someone for elite, and then it is discussed amongst the other senior mods. That is from what I've heard about it--I don't know a whole lot about the subject.

Hey Sid I've never done any arse kissing ......unless it was yours lol .

Andy
AFAIK you get Elite by helping other members a lot & doing useful/interesting posts, then a load members clammer for you to be elite & then the mods consider it .

 

[PCTC2]

Yeah. It's been quiet. I've been too busy to do anything fun lately.

As for posts, there's a post in the PFI Forum.

 

[ochadd]

Added an Atom 330 rig and that's crunching headless consuming 30 watts on a 300 watt power supply. Brings my "core" count up to 12. Might pick up a few more Atom 330 motherboards to splice into the same power supply. Once they are configured I can probably get a half dozen or more on the one power supply.

Well I finally had to give up on my GPU crunching. Got my electric bill + my AC wasn't keeping up... That should cost me 5000+ per day.

 

[Philippart]

don't forget to install the optimized seti applications:

my C2Q@3333MhZ crunches WUs in 680 sec while a similar core i7 takes over 2000 sec with the stock app!!

 

[Soggysocks]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Aweful lot of noise for a place that's quite. Had to break down and build a new 'Puter for Mama. She can't play her games without the thing rebooting. Not to mention the thing won't crunch with out crashing. Core 2 quad ....4 gig of OCZ Memory and a Asus p5q main board....and all the other stuff needed to make it run.

Enough said.........let you all know how it goes.


And keep the noise down in here.....supposed to be quite....remember!

 

[Denithor]

First two things I'd check - memory & PSU.

Memtest with all sticks installed overnight to check for errors.

What PSU? Do you have a known good unit you could swap to make sure that's not the issue?

Put away the scissors and get one of these.

I would never put any such large monster tool close to my ears or nose! What are they built for? Drilling tunnels? They may eat my whole head!

If you weren't careful, you would perform a self-inflicted lobotomy!

tweezers for andy run lol but here is a :beer: for ya
