TeAm D2OL Welcomes JWMiddleton and dmcowen674 to the TeAm! Woot!

[mastertech01]

Welcome JW! We are proud to have you on our TeAm and look forward to this going, growing, glowing group of hard working D2OL crunchers to continue to the top of the world! And to serve a great cause as well! Thanks for joining us in this venture!

Update! Now Welcome dmcowen674 to the TeAm! Thanks Dave, very happy to have you aboard! W00t!

 

[dmcowen674]

JW, how many machines did you fire up D2OL on? I could fire up D2OL on 1 machine here too. Does D2OL and SETI share a machine well?

 

[mastertech01]

Dave, from what Baldy18 said, they share nicely and equally.

 

[Shuxclams]

Actually I have had to mess with priority settings to get them to crunch equally. Am running on dual machines for ease.

[networkman]

I was thinking along the same lines.. install D2OL on the 1st cpu, SETI CLI on the 2nd.

Welcome to D2OL, JW.

 

[Slatzman]

Welcome to D2OL JW...appreciate you donating some CPU time to the cause.

[JWMiddleton]

Thanks everyone!!

Ques: Is there any optimization that you should do to the client, like turning down the graphics detail, etc?

Dave, I simply moved one Celly-2-600@900 over from SETI. It will be interest to see how it does with this project.

 

[mastertech01]

JW, yes, open up the properties tab and disable animations, reduce detail to minimum, and use the little joystick at the bottom to stop rotation. Then Right Click and hide Agent from Taskbar. Thats about the best you can do other than try CLI or Folder.. or run Linux.. Linux is supposed to be 25-75 percent faster.

You will probably get 20-30 per day out of her with windows.

 

[dmcowen674]

Where is this D2OL client? I see a thing about CommunityOS trial version, is that it?

 

[mastertech01]

Dave, right Here Just pick your OS..

 

[dmcowen674]

OK, it's running but it only asked for my E-mail address which I put in. How do you sign up for a TeAm?

 

[mastertech01]

Cool, thanks for joining Dave!

Go to THIS thread and it will have links to all the steps.. you just need to register and sign up to the team. Welcome to the TeAm!

 

[FoBoT]

welcome new dudes

 

[dmcowen674]

OK, joined, guess as soon as it completes a candidate it will show up. I've loaded it on my main rig here that already has SETI running, so far no appreciable hit anywhere in the system. Will see in the morning. This thing seems to be CPU and HD intensive while SETI is just about 100% Memory speed only.

Edit: OK, already see me show up on the Team List

 

[mastertech01]

You will show up within 5 minutes.. You can make the adjustments I posted to JW, that will help with memory usage. I dont see a lot of HDD activity on mine but I havent run SETI in ages to compare.

 

[bfour]

Welcome to the "OLD n WISE?"DMCOWEN one of the many stats keeper we had for years in RC5!

 

[dmcowen674]

Thanks for all your help MasterTech on the new project to me (D2OL). Saw your sig My Michelle, so sorry, words are not enough, only prayers.

 

[dmcowen674]

Well can't run SETI and D2OL at same time. It runs fine for a while then the machines locks up for no apparent reason, memory leakage would be my guess.

Oh, well! At least you tried!

 

[dmcowen674]

I'll try it again overnight now.

Looks like you got it going! A little bit ago you were ahead of me in the dailies!

 

[mastertech01]

Good going Dave!

JW you figure out what happened with your Win98 machine? Maybe it just got a corrupted install? I installed a new node the other day with just a basic install of Win Me upgrade, without updating all that mess from the update site and added the Agent and its working fine. Hopefully you will get it figured out soon.

 

[dmcowen674]

Interesting news. I can have both SETI & D2OL running at same time with no problem, there is one catch. I have to turn the monitor off manually when not using the PC. All methods of putting monitor into power save causes the D2OL program to lock up the PC. Maybe someone can relay back to whoever did the code that the program doesn't work with DPMS or Vsync blanking etc.

 

[mastertech01]

Thanks dave, very interesting. Ill see if that has been a known concern in the past. I have been manually turn off my monitors on used rigs all along anyway as I dont use power saving. My other node doesnt even have a monitor attached.. LOL Shes a blind node .

Glad you got it figured out!
