Teams are now available for Climate Prediction

[Idlorj]

I just check my stats and team creation is now available for the climate prediction DC project. Someone may want to create the Anandtech's Team.

 

[Smoke]

Very cool, Idlorj.

I just created a team entry for "TeAm AnandTech" so we'll participate in this project too.

 

[beatle]

Hmm, now I have to decide whether to join this or go back to DF.

 

[Smoke]

Here is a link to the "Climate Prediction" Website

You can download the client from there.

 

[PraetorianGuards]

Good luck guys! In 11th place and moving up, go TeAm!

 

[Smoke]

Once you have registered be sure to join "TeAm AnandTech".

After you have done that you can look at the stats here: TeAm AnandTech - Climate Prediction Stats

Nice. :beer:

Added my 16 model years to the team tally (user "teal97").

The team was at 14th when I checked. Probably shouldn't read too much into the rankings until after the first couple days when most of the current participating teams will be registered.

 

[gistech1978]

i added my 43.76 model years.

 

[naddicott]

The team is in 9th place today with 173 total model years.

Just 4 additional model years would put us in 7th place. The gap to 6th place is a little larger, 82 model years.

"Team Baked Alaska" (Ars Technica) in 3rd place has 579 model years. Is there an existing rivalry from other DC projects that would make catching up to the food court team an incentive?

I just started distributed computing today with seti, would it be rude to change over to Climate Prediction? We are having one huge dry warm spell here..........

 

[naddicott]

I don't know what the etiquette with switching DC projects is at AT, I would assume your contribution is appreciated wherever it is made.

IMO, go with whichever project / competition interests you more. You can read more about the ClimatePrediction objectives here.

ronnn, I think as long as you stay on the TeAm, the folks around here will be happy. I'm torn between climateprediction and F@H myself.

You run what you want to run. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. If anyone gives you any flack about it, let me know, and I will "straighten them out."

Enjoy!

 

[gistech1978]

lets see...i have seti, CB, DF, probably SoB...now climate prediction all for TA
i have jumped around alot. like an earlier post said, as long as youre staying within the team, any contribution is welcome. thats how i feel, im not going to get pissed off when someone switches projects. its entirely your decision.

 

[SlangNRox]

I just joined the team. Hope the 14 years that I added help

 

[beatle]

Welcome! We're already in 9th, very close to Swissteam!

Man, how long does it take to complete a model? I've installed this on one of my computers and it appears it is going to take days! :Q

You're just not listening are you Smokie. :disgust:







About 2 weeks for a top-end PC i think is the "rough time" There's a lot of data to be processed! Not like these tiny little work units for Seti looking at a tiiiiny bit of the sky!


(And to clarify, I ran Seti for over 2 years non-stop, and that isn't in any way, shape or form having a "go" at Seti )

hmmm
my 2400+(10.5*188) an oced 2100+ RAM is running @ 188 too, crucial pc2700.
has done this

Total Model Years 32.509
Total CPU Days 15.944
Total Petacycles 2.729
Allocated Runs 1
Completed Runs 0
Ranking 156 out of 64235
Last Phase : Timestep Reported 3 : 43264
Date/Time Reported (GMT) 02-Oct-03 01:40:19

so. roughly 2 model years a day. about 3 weeks give or take to complete a full run.

 

[naddicott]

We're in 8th place now. The Swiss team has been overtaken. We need 45 model years to overtake Russia.

 

[beatle]

Woohoo! Go TeAm! Maybe I'll start running this on my Barton while I go to work.

 

[SlangNRox]

I seem to be at around 2 model years per day also. I'm running a dell p4 3.2ghz from that deal awhile ago.
I've been mixing it up with some sob and video encoding, but when its running by itself its been getting around 2 years/day or slightly better.

Anyone interested in stats check out this thread
http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=712

I have a amd mp2000@1667MHz running 24/7 and it looks like about 38 days to finish one run.

 

[The Magicman]

I've just jumped on the Climate train

Does anybody know if the Climate client is memory bandwith or cpu bound?
I'm asking because I have a dual Athlon (2800+ Barton MP) and quad P3 Xeon (550MHz 2MB cache) and I'm just wondering if running more clients (each on in a VMware virtual PC because the client doesn't support SMP or multiple instances) would increase my production (if it's cpu bound) or keep it the same or worse decrease it (if the client is memory bandwith bound)

 

[gistech1978]

the client likes fast memory, the magicman
welcome on board.
