A big welcome to our two new members, GimpyOne and xjamesx! Glad to have you aboard!

We lost some 7,000 points in production yesterday. I took a look at some of the other teams and all of the suffered a lower production yesterday. So that's
nothing to worry about. By tomorrow we should be back on track I guess. The only thing that we can learn from that is to increase our cache size to maybe
2 days or so. I have mine on three so I should never have a problem of running dry.

Congrats to our two milestone makers, uallas5 and Doublejr! :beer:

We're leading US-D by 10,000 points the distance to BOINC Synergy is down to 19.8 days.

Thanks for the stats, Christian!
I have the PowerMac up and running BOINC with Rosetta and Seti again. The problem, with the mac is that the Rosetta application needs to write to a temporary file which just is not where it was supposed to be ...
The solution (until a new version comes along)?: I have set BOINC to write to that file each 16500 seconds (the default is 60 seconds) and that means - for rosetta - never (because for my comp the WU is finished in 16200 seconds ...). Thus the write command (which crashes the applicationms and generated the error) never occurs. The price: slower computing - because the application has to keep the whole WU, the interim results and the final result in RAM. But worth it: I prefer a slower comp compared to not having any WUs crunched ... The risk? If the computer or the program crash all computing time is wasted - since there is no temporary file to write the interim results to. High Risk Endevour!

They did post this;

December 12, 2005
Outage Notice: The project will be down starting today at 3pm PST for maintenance. It should take around 2-3 hours. For details see our Technical News."

on the web site, maybe that explains it

What does PST mean,
Pause, slurp, think???

 

[TAandy]

Oh no, don't tell me the 'T' means Throw up, not yet, anyway :beer:

 

[TAandy]

Forgetting my manners,
Welcome to
GimpyOne and
xjamesx,
Rosetta trains not hypersonic yet, climb aboard

 

[GimpyOne]

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm moving over from Seti Classic. I was going to stick it to the end, but I just got too frustrated with server issues recently and decided I had enough frustration in life. Anyway, to more important things:

The computer this is on is a dothan P-M 1.5Ghz, it seems to go through WUs in just over an hour each for about 10pts each.(hight of about 22 right now and low of 7) Does this seem about right?

At the moment I also have a P3-600 I could through at this, any idea what kind of production it would get? It isn't doing anything else at the moment.(I should be upgrading it soon, so this may not be an issue soon)

And finally, any suggestions for getting the most points out of this thing. I've been a bit lazy looking around for optimized clients and the like and would appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

WELCOME to Rosetta and our TeAm GimpyOne and xJamesx! Thanks for joining us! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the good advise and GREAT STATS BMC :beer:
my caches are bulging at the seams with 3 days each!

I think Rosey crunchers all over the world should pat themselves on the back... We're growing so fast, the pipes are bulging!

GimpyOne, I'm not sure there really are many tricks to get more out of your crunchers. The ones I know of are:

In the general preferences of the BOINC setup page of your Rosetta account, make sure to set the option for "leave applications in memory while prememted" should be checked to YES (it defaults to NO)

In the general preferences of the BOINC setup page of your Rosetta sccount, select something like 3 days or so for the "connect to the internet about every ____ days" (it defaults to .1 days I think). This is the large cache size recommendation BMC suggested.

I hesitate to mention this last one... there was an optimized boinc client developed to help SETI scoring be correct. Some people believe using it ups your credit slightly in Rosetta. It's a bit ambiguous as to the "ethical correctness" of using this client for projects other than seti. I leave it to you to research the question and make your own decision.[?b]

Sid, shut up

welcome GimpyOne and xjamesx!!

congrats to uallas and doublejr :thumbsup:

thanks for the stats BMC :beer::beer:

 

[Malak]

Here's to point-boosters.. I mean newcomers! :beer:

Wow we are only within a couple thousand daily points of other teams, we really gotta get a few more people to be safe. I think I'll be sitting at 150 PPD with just one machine going, maybe I need to assimilate a few more.

 

[Wolfsraider]

Thank you BMC and Sid and TA Andy you are all great LOL

I will be adding at least 1 machine and upgrading 1 more soon lol

Merry christmas all

I may have scored a gba sp and a modded xbox as well

Only a few more items to go

 

[JC]

You can run R@H on a Gameboy??

 

[Wolfsraider]

Yeah in a round about way, I get more upgrade money If I make the childrens christmas the best ever lol

Hence the adding more lol

 

[JC]

I see......


"Look honey, I bought all the kids computers!" <under breath> That I can run DC projects with!


lol

 

[GimpyOne]

Thanks for the advice and welcome guys. I can see the dialoge here will be....interesting!

 

[Crazee]

Welcome to TeAm R@H GimpyOne and xJamesx

Thanks BMC

The numbers for tomorrow will be better because all the backup from the outage will show then.

 

[Malak]

Le Gasp! I moved up 5 spots today! I think I'm going to be highest climber 3rd straight day. Lots of slackers in the back, huh?

 

[Wolfsraider]

Congrats Malak

Welcome GimpyOne and xjamesx, Glad to have you aboard

 

[mk]

Thanks, BMC.

Welcome to the R@H crew, GimpyOne and xjamesx.

 

[Dalephi]

Thanks BMC.

Welcome to the new Members!!!

Congratulations to the Milestone Makers!

Slackers? I don't see any slackers.

#1 That looks perfectly right for the current batch of WUs. But you'll see your times vary a lot sometimes. Some WUs took over 5 hours on my X2 4400+.

#2 I run one myslef and it'll give you about 2,5 WUs a day. Mine has 196 MB RAM.

#3 Nothing there to really optimize, just as Sid said, keep the WUs in memory and have something likw 2 or 3 days cache so you won't run dry.
