XEON's at work...

[ericlp]

Well, I finially did it... I just could not stand it any more.... I couldn't let a 4 Xeon's go to waste just sitting in an a/c room doing nothing but dishing out web server crap and files and backing stuff up. So, I installed Seti on them... We shall see if that improves things any...

Depending on processer speed you could get 25-30 a day from them.

Make sure you have permission!

We don't want ANYONE getting in trouble or losing their jobs. Plus, it puts DC projects in a bad light with businesses, who will be reluctant in the future to help out.

Assuming all is good, that setup will crank out some WUs!

Nice work! I just added a Athlon 1400 and a Dual PIII-733 to my Dual 2.8 Xeon box at work. My boss said it was cool. Wish I could run it on our Dual 3ghz Xeons with 6 GB of RAM that we use for wimpy web serving. WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY Overkill! -Tal

Grats! That should be a great crunching machine!

I've got Intel on the wire to send me at least 1 P4 3.2GHz EE, and I'm still working on them to send me a Dual Xeon box myself, so hopefully we can throw more into the mix and give BBR some dust to eat

I've been trying to convince my friend to ask his boss about SETI. He currently manages 126 IBM dual XEON Blade servers


Good job ericlp! :beer:

Xeons were MEANT TO SERVE, and I applaud your decision. A quad can handle it's usual (normal?) tasks, and run SETI too, with nary a blip or whimper. If they whimper, lecture them on CAS latencies and otherwise obsfucate.

Pity I only have a dual, but I dream a lot.

Like to hear from you if you get an "EE" before I do. I have two D875PBZLK FMB 1.5s boards that will support the "EE," but am currently running 2.8Cs in both.

Well, it was not really the permission issue... But the fact that I did it under my OWN power and time... If I want to make it to 10,000 while seti 1 is still alive, I'll need a little help from the government...

At least I'll have done 2/3rd's of it with my own funds and machines. That's providing seti one will last for 2.5 more months...

Not only that but I really felt confident after playing Unreal 2K/Call of Duty with full eye candy on and running two instances of SETI and NOT once has my computer crashed under the load I felt fairly confident that Seti Driver was doing a good job balancing out the load and I wouldn't have any problems at all. So, I think that it will run pretty smoothly with the servers. As for each Xeon Chip I dedicated 8 catched WU's to it. So it won't have constantly download WU all the time.
