No problem Newberg and Blurf, I\we love you anyway. :)

We definitely love you Simplex0 ;) I'm MW user of the day. Do I get double credits?

Yes, on Wednesday and Thursday.

Sounds great, but I wasn't crunching here during the summer and won't feel comfortable about taking the credits I didn't earn.

You can make a small donation, then you can take the double Credit and feel comfortable ;-)

They stopped work generation because there were duplicate assimilators running, which was messing up credit.

Why is it that Caprica continues to suck? Airing it late on Tuesdays is pretty much an admittance of we-know-this-show-sucks.

I still have no idea what Caprica is. Does it make a noise when it sucks?

I think Misfit is referring to "Battlestar Galactica". I don't know...Are you Misfit?

I know it's a show, haven't seen it.

All the shows I watched have been moved or switched times in the last 2 months. Even shows that were on for many years. I guess the channels want to put worse shows on.

1,000,000,000 Combined BOINC ... :)

It is that time of the year again.

Well, Everyone has his right to 15 mins. of disgrace...

And sending squick WU's to CPU and long WU's to GPU won't solve the problem. GPU systems present themselves as CPU only systems and voilà, there you go. Didn't GPU crunching took of for milkyway this way ?

well - any project opening the door for them cheaters has to face them - they simply cannot withstand to dismantle themselves..

I take what I am given in workunits be they short or long. If some people are filtering out the longer ones then I think that is unfair to the rest of us that are playing straight. :-(

If you go to your MW Boincstats page, down the bottom is a table showing, among other things, the actual number of rocks you've got for each of the last 30 days.

Unfortunately, there is an error someplace and I am still, on occasion, getting MW CPU side tasks.

They are the same tasks and can be run on either cpu or gpu.

I know the tasks are the same. But, I am not interested in using my CPU time on MW or Collatz in that I can get far more production on the GPU. So, I have the server side settings set to no CPU tasks... yet I still see them issued against my desires...

And that is the point ...

There is little utility in having a setting that is ignored. Even if the ignoring happens only on occasion.

Here to post my little, little first milestone: 10.000 credits in this project ;-)

But I'll grow more...

Greetings!

*bump*

I would like to know too, if and how it might be possible to lower the load on the GPU? Im working on my PC and the input lag is very annoying. Thx in advance for any help!

Are any of you boys offering stock options, a decent pension and/or company car ?

Alternatively I'm open to a decent sized golden handshake :-D

You get to be president, get to live longer and we'll let you hold the golden balls. In fact if you join PBToyz you get to accomplish a certain number of things. Enough that you will be so far behind that you will never die. What other team can offer you that?

Sorry, no stock, pensions or cars; just help and advice in the best forum and a team that Is relatively new and is motoring up the ranks like no other. ;)

About to hit a RAC of 200,000. Now accumulating over 6 million credits a month (more if MW gets going).

LOL..It's still a long way to the top for bragging rights.

This project has made a joke out of the stats.

I agree, stats based on the BOINC core client model can be compared, but if you are using an optimized app for a project, then you are apples and oranges. The science is getting done, sure, but to lump those credits in with other projects that do not use an optimised app makes that whole credit issue meaningless.

It's like Conan says, doing my bit for science. It's not about credits, but about doing science in different projects, or just one project. Congrats to all milestoners, and anyone proud of the credit they achieve which reflects their contribution to science ;)

Yes, you are doing your bit for SCIENCE, but you are also doing it for CREDITS. Otherwise you would not have posted your accomplishments here in this thread, and your signiture wouldn't be showing how much you have done.

After sitting idle for a few hours I ran over to Collatz for about 12 hours worth of work. I guess I'll get MW work when the Collatz finish

D'oh! Why didn't I think of that while I had the chance?!?! I just allowed new work but didn't stock up before the hoards scrambled over to Collatz... >:(

Mine was also set to GPU only, BUT I was still getting CPU tasks?? Me thinks something is not right?? I've changed my settings back to where I want them.
Lets hope it works ok, so far so good.

This is is my first post on a BOINC forum on an iPhone. Posting on a mobile - rock an' roll ;)

I've made more than a couple posts in these forums from my iPhone too :D

Very disappointed :( - I thought you had got milkyway working on the iPhone. - LOL

Yeah VNC and Vista's anal UAC don't play ball. Have you considered an RDP client instead ?

A pittance compared to you some of the big farmers out there but I now have a respectable 10 mill MW. ;)

Throttling down for a bit to recover from a layoff though. :(

You must have had some wu's error out.

ho hum...I thought Riddick was one of the last Furyans

Almost every project message board is full with your ALPHA BOINC posts, which do not belong here or elsewhere at all, except the boinc alpha test or boinc message board.

200,000,000 here @ Milkyway & 300,000,000 @ Collatz all in the same week ... :)

Fascinating,
And was it worth it?

You'd be fascinated if you watched Pitch Black.

Rahda Mitchell will do that. Hell.

Yes, Fry will do that even as she crash lands. But it wasn't pitch black then. Hell no.

Amber Heard. Hell.

And yet we hear of an entrenched head in the sand attitude to proffered advice.

Weird, looks like I'm back to my old self again.

For Ice/Furyan - how to do it properly :)

A superior profile needs no changing.

Hi It looks like every work unit I did yesterday before the server shut down has been marked as invalid. Also all the W/U done this morning also are invalid. What is going on? Did I lose all those W/U?

I was having some problems getting the new assimlator debugged with the upgraded server software. All new WUs should be fine (once we get them sent out again).

I still dont have a profile, no matter how many times I try to save it. The profile will not save, it tells me it has saved my profile, then when I try to view my profile it tells me I dont have one!I have not tried to do anything with my preferences so not sure if they are affected.

Happy Christmas, Ice.

Fascinating,

Thanks "Furyan" I really need those old app in some cards, thanks again!

Ugh, the crashing. Climate Prediction gives HUGE WU's but gives more than a year to complete. Unfortunately, it ends up "computation error" more often than not.

In the academic world, there is a saying 'Publish, or perish'. In the computing world its 'Upgrade, or perish'.

Thanks for the update.

At the end of the day it is your site and your time and effort put in to host the optimised apps and it is your perogative to do what you like with those sites.

I suppose once MW updates the server side the optimised apps hosting will not be required.

>Furyan
The name is new but the face is familiar...

Plus you were automatically registered as one of my friends without any communication being entered into.

Where are the opti aps now?? The site they were on is down now.

Thanks,

Appears to be up to me.

Does crunching MW CPU with op apps give me more credits than AQUA, yes or no?

Does MW op app CPU in fact have the ribbon, not AQUA?

Again, it absolutely does not matter.

For baseline comparisons, you can not compare a third party optimized app with a project vanilla non-optimized app. Not only is it non-scientific, it is just dumb.
In fact, what is even more dumb than that, is comparing credits of any project against any other project. Cross project parity is a socialists point of view.

(but if you must - yes Aqua-64 bit still grants higher credit per hour than MW/CPU-Opti app- don't believe me, test it for yourself)

And again, the MW opt app or even the GPU app for that matter does not give more credits than the production app, it only allows us to crunch the WU's faster, credit per WU is the same. Credits here are fixed.

Given that, MW is not the highest paying project. That ribbon currently goes to Aqua or Primgrid/64 bit apps

Good point, if you cut out the app that is producing XX% (insert unknown but suspected high number) of the credits on the project you are quite right.

Stock CPU app vs Stock CPU app. Any third party optimizations(unless adopted by the project at large) remain outside the baseline credit comparison charts.

Given that, MW is not the highest paying project. That ribbon currently goes to Aqua or Primgrid/64 bit apps

None of us are going to crunch stock CPU MW since there is an MW op app that gives far more credits.

Which is faster, stock CPU Aqua or optimized CPU MW ?

Absolutely does not matter, baseline benchmarks should be based on baseline apps. And credit "should" be based on this benchmark. If you truly want some stupid lame cross project parity reached.

Stock Aqua, against Stock MW.. Aqua would be higher paying.

Does not matter if people use the stock app here or not, the stock app is the one distributed by the project, and credit should be based solely on the stock app.

And you might be surprised how many do crunch with just the stock app. In most cases, these would be the people that don't visit the message boards. They just attach and let it run. I have several friends that crunch just that way, and yes, they are using the stock-non optimized app.
So your comment of "None of us" is a just a little bit short sighted. IMO.


And the biggest thing you are mistaken about, the optimized app does not "gives far more credits" it just runs the same WU's faster. It does not give more credit per WU.

Given that, MW is not the highest paying project. That ribbon currently goes to Aqua or Primgrid/64 bit apps

60 million in Milkyway, still hoping to retire at 65, but looking for a lottery win so I don't have to ;)

We need to know. i dont like sitting Idle.

Yes ...

you should already be attached to other projects ...

I remember a tale that a scientist was asked what the benefit of his
research was and he replied "What is the benefit of a new born child?"

My hope is that the information gathered in many different projects here can
be used as steps that can evolve in major brake trough in the future.

As of this morning the team Digital Recon will be no longer.

I have been doing the Boinc thing for more than 5 years now and I guess that I have done my fair share for science.

But with a heavy heart and good memories, I am also closing down all of my computers on boinc. It would seem that with my new company that I am starting, I have found that I no longer have the time. To those of you who I have come to know as friends, we will still talk from time to time. And to those who have come to hate me, well I guess that just won't change.

To each of you who have the fever of crunching, Kudos to you. But my fever for it is no longer.

Take care.

Projects should ALWAYS have a CPU option, or I'm the first one outta here.

There is one project that is high end GPU only and that is GPUGRID.

Exactly my point. I don't crunch GPUGRID any more since they made it high end GPU, as opposed to a lesser requirement prevously which my onboard laptop NVIDIA GPU could handle (ie, not bought in and not bolted in just to run BOINC). And LOL or not, make Milkyway@home GPU only and I'm outta here. This drive to satisfy high end crunchers and suggestions that CPU crunching is getting in the way is not for me.

As I said "If a project wants to do anything they like with their app, alienating a subset of crunchers along the way, I don't think the loss would be felt all that much." Which for you and me is a case in point. I don't think the loss of 2 low end GPUs hurt them in the slightest...or even 20 or 30.

Projects should ALWAYS have a CPU option, or I'm the first one outta here.

There is one project that is high end GPU only and that is GPUGRID.

I think projects should have a cpu option

Brian, it seems one solution that has been overlooked is cutting the credits in 1/2 again. In that case all the GPU's would be looking at other projects that pay more and those with CPU's that were only here for the science would be left.

I'd think that would be a long term solution to an overtaxed infrastructure. <smile>

I really only see two solutions.

1. Add one more extra computer to handle the load.

2. Get rid of the slow cpu support that way Science gets done much faster.

Then all that we will hear is my gpu is not fast enough for the project.

Hence no more complaining about slow and no cpu work and the credits will be the same for everyone on the project. :)

No, I don't agree with your #2 Dan, it could have a Negative Ripple through out the BOINC Projects if you Alienate the CPU User's here by cutting them off at this Project. Many of the CPU User's might just say the heck with BOINC if I'm going to be denied Work at certain Projects because it interferes with the High & Mighty GPU User's. They have just as much right to the Wu's as the GPU User's have and they were the ones that got the Project started in the first place so to bar them now would be like throwing them under the Bus to satisfy GPU User's.

What would be next if you Bar the CPU User's, the slower GPU Users ??? then the Semi slow users and then finally it would be well if you don't have a 2011 ATI 6990 Super Duper 16 Core 20GB Memory Video Card we're not going to give you any work.

Looks like i got the php to refresh itself so the teams are showing up again :) Sadly, there are no top teams isn't in the list yet :P

I think i fixed the problem with the teams, it might take a few minutes to show up on the webpage (when the php refreshes).

What do you give Thanks for???

I noticed that, after my last "Update", my account no longer has me listed as a member of a team - although I didn't do anything to "Quit team". My Your account page also has 3 "Database Error" messages at the top right corner of the page. Anybody else having this problem?

Some [ice] are in it purely for the rocks.

This is interesting thought taking distributed computing to a new level.

Here is a thought to help that comment out.

1. All credit rates and times should be the soul ownership of the project admin, Not DA's quest for equal wu parity. As this cross parity will never work. This would be do to the fact that all Science projects will have different needs and require different computer types and hardware. And who will be the credit cops for this new adventure? DA? Then all lower projects should now comply and raise there rates...Right like this will ever happen..

2. Some times in our lives we must as parents let go of the children, and let them grow up for them selves. So Please DA..Find more kids to raise. Please!

3. This whole argument about credits that has been going on now for 3 or more years could be stopped by the admin's of projects, by stating that this point per wu will be this and not change any unless the admin's increase the amount of computer time required to complete the task per wu.

4 All those who think that the credit is too high will be asked to leave the project and find a lower credit project to make them happy, as we want to make them happy don't we? And I will do my best to point them out for the complainers. Hey anything to help those folks out.

5. Have a great day.

There is only one problem with all that...

It makes sense....

I have come to the conclusion that you can do no better than throwing an ATI HDxxxx card into a Windoze machine and pointing it to MW ...<snip>... MW pays the highest credits for effort/money expended.

... but honestly Dave and the rest of us really want to make it so that credit is distributed correctly across projects in some kind of fair manner.

I'd also like to say thanks to all the people who have stuck it out with us through the worst problem we've ever had with the project to date :)

Would they be interested in an HD4850 or is that too slow?

Shouldn't that be no-one@home? :p

A real cruncher never sleeps.. ;-))

Good, because I did not get any. Have another 5970 now, so will bring BlackBeastOne off line and refit.

Hopefully tomorrow I can wax lyrical about MW WU's and the 5970. It would be interesting to see a comparison with a 5870 if anyone wants to do it.

If you send me a 5870 I will be happy to do it. hehe

Nahh.. there is probably a lot of guys in here who happily will try to beat you. ;-)

you gonna thank me for this! i just found a new ATI optimized stuff.
called nothing@home...
try it.
:)

Personally I don't see how anybody could complain about the crediting on this project. Cut it half... still be more than any other project.

OK, just so its all clear then. :)

A Collatz trickle for me too.
I noticed one box had got a dozen WUs so I clicked Refresh on the next one and got half a dozen. By the time I got to the third it was back to the old 'project servers may be temporarily down'.

Nah.. Thats not a philosophical question. But a very important,
skilled question.. ;-) If I shall be checked, I would like to
know who or what I`ll be compaired to.. ;-)

The psychological norm as determined by the "American Psychological Association". Now that's got to be useful ;-)

Anyhow - It would probably take more than one hour to come to a conclusion.
It could be interesting... ;-D

Depends on the payment plan. We could also start a poll to determine the nature of reality. That's got to be useful too...

Then there's the view that there's a multitude of relative realities overlying each other, only useful in their own context and particular plane of existence. That might be more useful.

Yeah.. It`s all very interesting, and maybe useful.. but still we cant know
for sure before all eventualities are tried..
I do think youre right; It depends on the payment plan. ;-))
I think you should sort out someone with a better payment potential.. ;-D

Night night.. I should better leave, since this thrad is not about
reality in that term.. and I am being off-topic. ;-)

Im already getting a trickle of Collatz WU's so Collatz wins I guess!
;-p

hehe -

Well.. I couldnt give it to him.. Someone ate it. ;-))

Well, despite the uploading problems at Collatz and no work anywhere, we made it........

The first 25 Million! for BT Retired Club

It's a 9 year anniversary present as I joined Seti Classic on 22nd November 2000 :-)

I expect to keep working with it as long as they let me :P

But projects are in some ways organisms, they have life cycles, the life cycle does vary from project to project, but over the past 8 months or so, it seems that MW has moved from youthful energy to middle age decline in terms of how the project responds to events and for that matter how it communicates.

Hopefully we can have new hardrives in a day or two and get things back up and running.

Those that are using ATI GPU's do have ONE current alternative. I'd love there to be more.

Yep, relax is the best way at the moment. The Boss-man has one of the most important goals in his life to deal with, kit is on order, it has to be delivered and fitted, and got up and running. Personally I'm not expecting any new work till next mid-week at the earliest.

I'm happy to wait while I start to set up my second 4850 and give it a run out on Collatz.....

4 Million overall my i7 920 is really pumping out the WU's.
;-p Still online for another month, Tanx Mom!!

I passed 50,000,000 at MilkyWay! (BOINC total 82,072,036 today)

The town where I live has been gradually becoming a cold season, too.
MilkyWay on Radeon warms my body :-)

Travis:
I read in the forums recently that you had a number of hard drives damaged due to construction around campus. To reduce the damage to the hard drives, have you looked at shock-mounted external hard drives or shock mounted hard drive internal cases?

Anti-vibration hard drive cases will protect your new hard drives on order.

How about sitting the whole server on a shock absorbing foam pad?

@ Ice
If/when I go offline I wont be able to post unless I go to someplace that will allow me to use their computer, I dont know many people that are geographicaly close enough to me that are online and would let me access the internet from there. Family would gladly let me use their computers but the closest family member is aprox 45 Km away, with no wheels I dont get to see them very often. I'll try to post when I can but it wont be very often. Hope Travis has MW up n' running when I come back, possibly in about 4 months but thats only a guess at this time, I will be back, not sure how long though. Anyway treat my WU's nice ok.
Bruce ;-p

Good day all!
Although I'm not shutting down just yet, my $$$ situation has taken a turn fer the worse! It looks like I'll be going offline sometime in the next week or two!!(I need a miracle to stay online, as my Company Disability benefits have run out, the Gov disability takes 4 months to process"I didn't know this" so I'm living on $570CDN a month "Welfare") So I wish you all the best n' keep on crunching!!! ( Ice you can Grunch all my Wus ok).
Bruce

You could of course buy an second hand ATI card and just run one machine, and still get more credit than you were getting. Just a thought?

just hit 10 million here today. :D

May I suggest a RAID array, so there is always a duplicate

Errr surely a raid array would just have a copy of the crashed database.


Raid arrays are great if a disk stops working, but useless is the data is corrupted

It doesn't matter to me if they get the same credit per second as they do now, they just need to be on the order of 100 times longer...

It really makes me wonder sometimes. Just two posts below Travis says "Due to what we're doing here our WUs need a somewhat faster turn around time"

How do your 100 times longer WUs make for faster turn around time?

They would then take an hour or so like the cpu wus do. How is that not better? Then each gpu would have a days work or more instead of 15 min.

I should imagine that there is a scientific/research reason for the length of a WU. It's like trying to suggest stuffing a hundred days food into your pet dog on day one just to make life more convenient for you.

Travis already said and promised gpu wus 100x longer months ago. He said they had more complex data that could be crunched, so yes it would be scientific.

It's amazing what you can do with a few GPUs these days!

Just passed 25,000,000 here. Yay me....

It appears that the database managed to corrupt itself, then failed in a spectacular fashion.

Validator looks to be down as well as it needs new searches.

Is it only me or do you also get WU? .. Well i got 48 of them anyway...

Why can't i see my computers under my computers?

Dunno. I can see them, at least 31 of them. How many did you lose?

Me too. Is it possible the page didn't load with it being so slow now?

Having joined quite a few projects when they just came out of the gate I have seen a pattern where there is intense interest and lost of interaction with the admins until about 6 months in ...

Then, it stops ...

I am not so convinced that it is lack of interest so much, I suspect that the project gets into a "steady-state" where work is being done at a sufficient rate that there is little pressure on the admins to pay attention to the day to day problems.

5 Million here, 10 Million overall.

You have got to understand here in MW land, the admins here have gotten to a 'this is really tedious' point in this project's life. We no longer get response and participation from the admins, and only periodically (and rarely) do we get anything regarding updates and explanations.

Admin/project folks here simply have (emotionally and intellectually) moved on and are largely going through the motions at this point.

I'd hope they find a way to get re-energized about this project, but increasingly the sympathetic frustration I have with this project is moving through the stages of disappointment and moving toward ire.

I'm getting a message which says "Communicating with BOINC client. Please wait..." with "Retrieving system state; please wait...".

The BOINC manager is disconnected and nothing appears to be happening, all crunching stopped. Pressing 'cancel' against the first message above gets everything going again, but pressumably nothing will happen until I or my micromanager presses the button. This is occurring more and more frequently.

Is anyone else getting this?

What version of BOINC? When does it happen, on system start?

I see the credit wars are still burning like the Springfield tire fire.

400M

I've dropped in, I've said hello, so where is everyone???

:-(

Stuck in traffic?

Personally I long for the really old System (SETI Classic) when you knew if you did 1 Wu you got 1 Credit, it was simple but it worked.

Except for all the scripts and programs that hunted out and deleted the VLAR WUs :-)

Seti-Classic had more way to cheat than you can shake a stick at. The dev had to run a script to disable a whole bunch of obvious cheats account when the user data base was transfered to Boinc. Entire teams were dedicated to cheating the Credit systems. Those were the good old day alright.

Yep they were good and fun

Hey Ice maybe I should let some folks here go to our disagreements area and that way they can say anything that they like without getting modded...Smile.

Next...smile

- some projects are simpler than mw...

... the recent MilkyWay server sluggishness due to short tasks being issued influenced me to switch to Collatz for a while because I can download a larger cache of work there and leave it to run by itself without needing to check often to see if it has run out of work. It reduces the server load here and besides I like to support the other ATI project, it would be better if there were a few more of them.

No, crunching DPDN with CPU [I7 920 @ 3.3ghZ].

Why can't i see my computers under my computers?

Mine came with ccc9.10 installed.
I copied the win64 app_info, astronomy_20, brook64 to boincdata/mw
Restarted boinc, computation error, computation error, ..., CPDN crunching madly.

>with 3 pin English plug
You can't even supply your own IEC lead?! Now that's cheap! :-)

Hey guys!

Here letting everyone know that I have this working with the 5850 on Win7 RTM 32bit. Let me know if you need anything from me!

SinisterMinister

its no good we need more ati asssisted projects ;)
So we can overload them all xD

Or you can just throw more hardware at the problem... :)

What did you expect ?!

slow

Another post or another cup of coffee? I just have to be sure we get this right!

I know this has been addressed in passing in other threads,including those regarding credit lowering, but I'd like a clear answer. I have an older machine with an Athlon-XP-M 2400+ CPU. My WUs used to take 1.5-4.5 hours, now they take 9-10 hours. What's up with that? Besides, I'm crunching for science, not credits (everybody has their thing), and I also crunch for Einstein and Cosmology. Of the three projects I personally view MW as the least worthy of my CPU cycles. So I'd like an Admin to make a case for me to stick with MW.

you can use the "Scheduled Tasks" in Windows to do the same

What command would we use in Scheduled Tasks to make BOINC poll MW every 5 minutes for work?

They must be using the Donation Money to buy more Donuts cause i sure don't see any improvements in the Server ... :P

If I keep trying maybe some day I can get on that list ...

I have a quesion....

How to make, that BOINC MG will automaticly requesting new tasks quicker after serwer error/no works?

Now my host waits..... and do nothing...

I can not manually reset him, bcause now I am in other pleace...

How to make that he will try to download e.g. every 5 minutes?

Slow as molasses since yesterday. Constant page errors. Something needs to be done that will actually help this problem more than a day or week.

The issue has been fixed in version 0.21, thank you for your patience.

I don't know if they are cheating, but it sounds a lot like the shenanigans that where happening on Seti-Classic and really damaged the credit system as well as compromising the science. It is one of the reason Boinc adopted the concepts of replication, quorum and validation of the work. It provides a certain assurance that good science is being done and that the credit system has some meaning. It would seem that MW is failing on both counts. If you leave the door open, there will always be someone taking advantage of the situation.

They were designed to be processed by CPUs.

>Being relatively inexpensive
But on the other hand the price of 4870s should be starting to plummet anytime soon...

I think ATI know what they do in matter of fan speed and GPU temperatures.

I have a small clutch of ATI GPUs and I would be inclined to agree with you ;)

I told you I wasn't an expert LOL! :-) Looks like the latest cards are designed to run at considerably higher temps than a couple of years ago. That is a very good trend, because it means that it shouldn't be necessary to upgrade with after market coolers.

I think ATI know what they do in matter of fan speed and GPU temperatures.

I am no expert in GPU's, but I would make a friendly comment from the screen shot below :-

GPU load 99%
GPU temp 85C
Fan speed 37%

I would suggest that you increase that fan speed and try to get the GPU temp down to within the 60's range. Rivatuner can change the fanspeed on almost any card.

In other words:

Configuration of the number of concurrent WUs with new BOINC clients (6.10.3 and up):

The included app_info.xml declares the app as GPU app for the new 6.10.x clients. This is done
with a <coproc></coproc> statement. This statement also determines how much of a GPU the
application is upposed to use. If it uses less than a full GPU the client will start several WUs
for each detected GPU. Search for the following lines in the app_info.xml:
 <coproc>
   <type>ATI</type>
   <count>1</count>
 </coproc>
Changing the count value to 0.5 will run two WUs per GPU, a value of 0.33 three WUs.

So I try it tommorow :)

Thnx...

EUREKA! Have now passed 10,000,000 cobblestones on MilkyWay.
Also have passed (or soon will)1,000,000 cobblestones on 3 Projects; Collatz Conjecture plus AQUA as well Docking.

Team Cobar Spidershas also passed 10,000,000cobblestones on MilkyWay.
Plus also passed 1,000,000cobblestones on Collatz Conjecture plus AQUA as well Docking.

Team Cobar Spidershas also passed 20,000,000 cobblestones in BOINC Projects Overall Total.

Congratulations to you ICE on 50,000,000 and to TGG for 20,000,000 and all others on your milestones.

You can not run both MW GPU & MW CPU on the same machine at the same time.

Welcome To Digital Recon,

Are you tired of being bored by just crunching?

Would you like to have a good Team stomp?

Do you think of yourself as very competitive?

Do you like to crank up your computer to make it crunch as fast as it can?

Well if you have answered yes to all of the above, then come and join the Team and lets open a new area of crunching.

At DIGITAL RECON, you can make a difference in how the Boinc world Looks at a Team and YOU!

Hi Dan. Your team sounds very tempting. What does 'Digital Recon' stand for?

What I am doing is trying to set up a team who really wants to get down and serious about crunching. Those who want to reach the highest rac that they can and see just how fast they can get there. And the nice part of it is that the science also benefits by getting work done real fast. Digital Recon means looking for folks with fast Computers

BTW ICE nice avatar

I ASSUMED that this application would be ready-to-go when posted.

You are running WindowsXP, therefore Catalyst 8.12 is recommended. That also means you have to use the Win32_amd or Win32_SSE2_amd version (not the ones with "_ati" at the end). That is all said in the readme by the way.

I suspect some of the people having trouble with v0.20b may be running the wrong app for their catalyst version, so I thought this could do with highlighting :)

I normally like to try new versions reasonably quickly, but in the case of 0.20b I decided to wait until it was complete or help was requested in testing it.

As far as I am aware version 0.20 remains the recommended version and the last message regarding the use of 0.20b stated the following:

....."But before you try to download it, it's not complete and not correctly set up yet. So it will probably not work right now. Be a little bit more patient"...... from Message 32135

I have my site updated with the newer 0.20b ATI apps now.

Hi guys, Ice, Misfit, others...

Ice, you look terribly blue, I hope you're not feeling blue as well?

At this time two weeks from now I'll be in Milan, Italy, sipping some very good red wine, and waiting for having dinner served for me cooked by my Italian, he will cook pasta for me. We will have a wonderful time together in Milan. I can't wait! :-D

It's so expensive it makes the less fortunate...!

I think I will arbitrarily pick a goal number and once it is met, pull the plug on boinc in general unless things overall get better.

So move then, Beserk, and stop clogging up this board whingeing about it.

i moved on days ago.

Its been available for a week and no-one's bought one yet?

>You give out a 5000 sec long work unit
Try CPDN - 4,000 hour WUs available there.

And that will continue to scale, the new ATI HD5870 should easily double the performance of a HD4890 at Milkyway. And when the next nvidia generation arrives, I'm quite sure it will do much more than to double the DP performance of a GTX285 ;)

If fast turn around time is of such great importance why even allow CPUs?

Its now time to run, not walk to your local collatz store for more work...Smile..

OK, there is a project that can make use of idle ATI cards when MW is down (again). And yes I use it since I hate to have my ATI cards idle whilst still drawing yottajoules from the nation grid. Thanks to Collatz Conjecture and a project which is honest enough to say "This project is not for commercial purposes, nor it is related to any academic research. It was created because. That's it. Just because."

'Just because' is good enough for me ;)

But for a credit whore, are their credits as good as MW?

The Gas Giant, are you saying that everyone who crunches for Collatz Conjecture is a 'credit whore'?

On the contrary Ice. I was implying that I'm a credit whore and will only crunch projects that give me good credit....except for Malaria Control, oh and LHC (when they have work), oh and some PrimeGrid.

I suppose I'm implying that if Collatz does not give as good credit as MW I will only crunch it on my GPU(s) if MW has no work.....

Its now time to run, not walk to your local collatz store for more work...Smile..

7 million MW credits
and soon to be
9 million BOINC credits

I have crunched some units with the new app. and they last 3:20 (200 seconds) with a stock GTX280. This graphic card took 6:30 (390 seconds) with the previous one.

Impressive: 95% faster than before.

Not quite 95% faster...you may want to redo your maths.

Edboard and I must have went to the same school then.

well is there a central place I can do this or do I have to go project to project?

I have already deleted the team from several projects only to have it reappear a few days later in those very same projects.

But you have to admit we are doing good, quick science relatively cheaply....

An admission of crunching for credit and not for science. Have fun in the top 100 but complaining about your electricity bill isn't allowed. Thanks to this particular project the notion of comparing credits is silly.

Who would have thought, at the dawn of this year, that before the summer was out some of us could achieve a credit total in MilkyWay of

Congrats on 42 Million !

I would have never thought at the beginning of this year, that
I would be able to make it up to 1 Million on any project !

After 4.5 long years crunching on Einstein @ Home I have only
made it up to 440K.


Regards,

Bill

Well done on the million Bill. I can remember feeling pretty good about getting my first million. Now the target is set on the 50, and who knows, 100 billion billion ;)

At the rate this project doles out credit you may exceed the max variable value by next Tuesday.

The title is pretty self explanatory.
I accidentally created a team a while back and now I want to delete it because the creation emails are getting annoying.

......... this is an unusually long time to be without any news at all.

Been crunching Collatz for 24 hours now

And I don't NEED to do anything. It was just a voluntary effort from my side, because I got curious how fast it would be. What did I get from that? A load of work and nothing else. I could have spent my time also with something more important.

Ice, why don't you, in Windows, switch off the use of the sleep button?

To answer your question elendil, it's not that I don't. I can't.

It sleeps and I just can't keep it awake.

If only I knew how...

Write a script. There seems to be plenty of those going around.

Strangely enough, sans script, it sleeps no more.

But then, complying to hypnotic suggestion, I must have done just that - gone to my Windows and switched off the sleep ;)

Or it could be the coffee I brewed. It's extra strong. Hell.

Coffee will be strong in Hell. Otherwise I take my business to Starbucks.

But hell, how did elendil know I've been having trouble with my sleep button? It's spooky. As hell should be. Now the button is switched off and it stops drifting into sleep. And I've stopped cursing it. And feeling the need to throw it through my Windows...

Bloody hell.

I see you have 6.10.4 and Gipsel 0.20 running, so what do you have for a Cat version?

I'm trying to get my 4850 going and am getting a 'no child processes' error on XP64 SP2. I'm assuming this is the Cat 9x problem rearing its ugly head since I already did the amd/ati dll duplication and the VC 2005 runtime update.

<edit> OOPs, I just noticed you're talking about Cpu apps here, so you may not have the answer I'm looking for! ;-)

Alinator

I think the new version of the GPU app is making the server pretty strained again. I'll see what I can do but I'm not sure how much faster we can get her going :D

It just got a lot better some minutes ago!

Hope it stays that way.

I reduced the feeder sleep time to 1 second (down from 2). Sadly I think this is the most we can make the feeder work, so if we go through any more extensive optimizations or have a large influx of users we're really going to need to get another server machine.

Well that pattern has been solved...

Have they proved that crop circles are made by aliens?

Crop circles are made by excessive internet advertising.

Each of my P4 base units takes 120W 24/7, and obviously all the monitors are turned off unless I need to work on them. I could significantly increase my RAC and decrease my electric bill by chucking the lot out, and getting a couple of decent quad core machines with twin 4870's in them. But the capital outlay just isn't possible.

Are the new 64 SEE 3 faster than the old 19 SEE 4.1, and are the new 20 SEE 3 faster than the old 19 SEE 3?

because my RAC is dropping like a rock and I know other projects would give me more.... just a little pissed that the ATI thing has effected the CPU only crowd... I believe we were here first, and are now being treated like someones old gum that I stepped in walking down the street on a hot day.. ewwwww

Speed increase just astonishing.

So what is the result? One can now point every cross project parity fanatic to the credit multiplier matching the equivalent value of SETI by saying MW gets high credits on ATIs just because they are so much faster! Furthermore nothing has changed to the worse here, quite to the contrary. The app is now delivering better results even faster than before.

It's almost tomorrow here (2 minutes of today are left). I guess it will be okay to post a link to the GPU version 0.20 then.

Changes are as already mentioned a higher accuracy with results exactly matching my latest CPU versions which have increased the accuracy above that of the stock app. These differences in the result are all well within the limits given by the project, so I think it is okay to implement it unilaterally so to say. But it should be possible to tighten these limits when the changes are ported to the stock app as well as the CUDA app (Travis and Anthony were given notice of those changes some days ago). This should enable less noisy results which may improve the convergence of the searches.

But I guess most are concerned by the speed of the new versions. I invite everyone to compare their credits/day with the 0.19 versions before the credit reduction and now with the 0.20 version after the reduction ;)

And really important not only this time: Read the readme.txt included in the package!
The included app_info.xml is already made for the new 6.10.x BOINC clients (hope there will be a good working version within in a few days). If you use another one, you may need to remove the <coproc></coproc> statements and adjust the <avg_ncpus> value (i.e. raise it to your needs).

According to recent stats MW was biggest credit generator, so my assumption has some sence ;)

Others lost credit too so your place in top 100 will not change much.
If only your credit was lwered it would be different situation ;)

My 0.20 versions for CPUs are ready and available for download here.
