More cores is always a good thing.

/wishes I could talk about bringing more "cores" on./

 

[petrusbroder]

/hope and wishful thinking/
Yeah - next week I may get a tax-return. When I see that, and if the amount is sufficient I may get myself a dual core Athlon 64 - if the kids do not need - no, they can not again - new T-shirts and jeans! and socks! Am I made of money or what?
/end of hope and wishful thinking/

I don't even have kids, and I can't bring more cores on for a little while yet. I just spent all of this month's "funny money" on ski equipment. Soon it will be snow season, which is also known as "heating your house with DC rigs season" ! :laugh:

 

[petrusbroder]

That season is approaching soon here in northersn Sweden too ...
OC-time when the temp in the basement drops to 15 degrees C.

 

[mrwizer]

Hmm... Here in sunny southern california, it is never warm your basement time

OC'ing with ambient air would require a fridge.

AMD Users are still out producing us by about 1000 a day.

More firepower anyone???

I can bring another 3-4 machines on, I think.

 

[rise]

let me try to figure out how to run two instances on my x2.

 

[mrwizer]

In the settings on your project home page, you can choose the maximum number of cpu's to run. default is two, I think.

 

[rise]

thats a beautiful thing. thanks mrwizer

 

[mrwizer]

Oh, and if it is working, great. If not, you may have to update to get the new settings. And I had an issue with one of my machines not picking up another WU. So hopefully that was just me.

 

[rise]

yeah, mine worked fine. hit the update and it pulled in some new units and running 2 at a time now. thanks

now, is there a way to make that machine specific? i guess i'll just have to suspend one wu?

i lwas hoping to run 2 instances on one computer and 1 on the other. i guess suspend will work.


edit- well, thats not a good solution. all it does is load the next wu. so i have-
1 running
1 suspended turned to computation error
3 suspended by user


i would imagine next update it will load more in my queu which will start running.

 

[mrwizer]

There are home, work, and school settings. You can set up each one different, and then select which machines use the settings for each. It makes it easy to control all the machines through the net this way, but means you can only setup three seperate setting profiles.

 

[rise]

thank you mr wizer. i'm an idiot, i was figuring it out as you were replying. i think i got it.

excuse my ness

 

[mrwizer]

dont even worry about it

 

[rise]

yowza, great day mrwizer!! 1500+ :Q

and you think you can bring a few more onboard

 

[mrwizer]

Thanks

I just put two more on, which puts my E@H fleet to two machines (both of which are low point crunchers). I have two comps that are not running right now but both work, and I can technically bring the last two from E@H on. But I will see how it goes against AMD first. Hopefully they just had a good day. And we are within striking distance if we can outpace them a bit.

Peter, are you ready?

 

[rise]

its looking like our friend GleeM is picking it up too

 

[mrwizer]

Here is a good graph of the outputs of AMD and us.

[petrusbroder]

Good morning, mates. I had a good night's sleep. :Q
Yes I am on board.
I have just increased my "resource share" from 250 too 400, which - with all other projects at 100 - will give my rosetta 60 - 80% of the crunching time.
This is when considering that LHC is out of WUs, that my comps run either Seti or Einstein and that I have quit predictor.

 

[mrwizer]

Looks like we got two new members that have not shown up in the stats yet.

And good night to you

Watch out for errors that occur when running Rosetta with other projects. It seems that even when left in memory, it does not play well with others. Unless you have not had any issues...

 

[petrusbroder]

I have not had any probs.
A total of 6 bad WUs since I started in September ... lost only a total of about 26 hours crunching time due to those 6 errors.
However, I had a problem with the Mac client - discovered that the client runs with Tiger (OS X 10.4.x) and not with Panther (OS X 10.3.x) I had there 260 WU-errors in less than 24 hours ...

Rosetta@home just made my day! Petrus is UotD!

maybe it was UoTH(our)? it seems not to be you unless i'm missing it (again lol)
