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.

A grand buys a bunch of Rolling Rock! :beer:

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.
