1) Message boards : Number crunching : Don't need a new ATI card if you have one of these (Message 39358) Posted 2 May 2010 by Stevea Post: Found a couple more wingmen with problems.. This is a different one, but nothing but errors... http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/show_host_detail.php?hostid=169067 Here's another that is not completing any with a wingman.. http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/show_host_detail.php?hostid=126692 I did not check them all, just a few. And here is an output file from the first one.. is that (-np) a legitimate input argument?

4) Message boards : Number crunching : Are we going down this weekend 09-25-09? (Message 31524) Posted 25 Sep 2009 by Stevea Post: Well I've heard rumors, but still nothing on the front page... So are we going to be down this weekend or not????
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Broken WUs (Message 31094) Posted 17 Sep 2009 by Stevea Post: Haven't seen any errors yet, maybe I fixed it :) Seems ok now... time will tell

7) Message boards : Number crunching : Credit lowering (Message 30843) Posted 14 Sep 2009 by Stevea Post: Double post ... delete please
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Credit lowering (Message 30842) Posted 14 Sep 2009 by Stevea Post: 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? Still did not answer the question.... Which apps are faster?
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Credit lowering (Message 30775) Posted 14 Sep 2009 by Stevea Post: 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
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Credit lowering (Message 30773) Posted 14 Sep 2009 by Stevea Post: I would suggest to stop bitching about the lower credits. Just use the new 0.20 ATI version and your credits/day will be back to the values before the reduction or maybe even slightly higher :D MW can afford to have "parity" with SETI ;) And what about the rest of us peons that don't have an ATI card and are running just CPU tasks.... ahhh screw us This is now officially an ATI only project... and since I don't have one, bye bye Must be getting close to paper grading time.... hu
11) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : The GPU ripple (Message 13179) Posted 28 Feb 2009 by Stevea Post: You might want to ask the seti Germany team, they seem to be running the credit distribution of Boinc right now. Maybe DA's paying them on the side... :)
12) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : GPU app teaser (Message 11658) Posted 19 Feb 2009 by Stevea Post: I am doing a quick inventory on my hosts and to my surprise I have found several with ATI cards.. Not sure if they are compatible... HD3850 HD3870 HD4830 HD4850 HD4870 are the comaptible cards. The upcoming HD4890 will be running too. Hummm.... They make an AGP version of the HD3850 if this works, this would be a cheap way to make older hardware scream for about $120 US. Would you forsee any problems running and AGP version of the HD3850? Here's a link to a card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102730
13) Message boards : Number crunching : credit comparison to other projects (Message 10295) Posted 11 Feb 2009 by Stevea Post: LOL... even BOINC's own Beta is pathetic: BOINC alpha test...........0.403 Yeah, well BOINC alpha test is really just for the alpha versions of BOINC, so they can download WUs that can basically be screwed over and have no effect. Just sends out work for the uppercase example app. It's not meant as a full-time project. LOL: Well they could give more credit than that, since they are the parity nutjobs. They can't even keep their own project in line with parity, but expect everybody else to...... nice...
14) Message boards : Number crunching : credit comparison to other projects (Message 10293) Posted 11 Feb 2009 by Stevea Post: I have yet to see even one time that the credit police have gotten a project to raise their credit. Here's the link: http://boinc.netsoft-online.com/e107_plugins/boinc/get_cpcs.php Here's the list : Go sick'em The almighty SETI.........1.000 uFluids...........................0.507 What about the anti-police? Thanks for this useful info. I have word when uFluids is ready to go on its new server the credits will be adjusted accordingly. I've recommended doubling them. :D And then the other 42 projects? These would be a good place to start, don't you think.... Hydrogen@Home...........0.274 ... lol . just pathetic Docking@Home..............0.360 ... this is a joke right? No good science here orbit@home...................0.338 Go ahead and get your magic wand out. LOL... even BOINC's own Beta is pathetic: BOINC alpha test...........0.403
15) Message boards : Number crunching : credit comparison to other projects (Message 10282) Posted 11 Feb 2009 by Stevea Post: I believe that was my point. And until I see the police get even one project to raise credit, the parity discussion is OVER.
16) Message boards : Number crunching : credit comparison to other projects (Message 10280) Posted 11 Feb 2009 by Stevea Post: You know what the project has been barely up for 24hs without a problem, why don't we wait a while before adjusting the credits again. Between the optimized apps, the GPU app, and the stock app, there is no way of being able to adjust the credit to a fair amount for all (hardware) systems, and Operating Systems just yet. If you all are so gun ho for the cross project pairity thing, then may I suggest that you go hound the 95% of these projects that are giving out less credit than the seti stock app.I have yet to see even one time that the credit police have gotten a project to raise their credit. They just go around and pound on a project until they are beaten into submission and the list below is the results. When you can get even 50% of the 90% that give less to give a reasonable amount then I will agree with you that this project is too high. Until then, I use this project to even the field, and gives me the opportunity to crunch other projects and get around the same credit as if there was parity. Here's the link: http://boinc.netsoft-online.com/e107_plugins/boinc/get_cpcs.php Here's the list : Go sick'em The almighty SETI.........1.000 Einstein@Home.............0.842 climateprediction.net.....0.838 LHC@home...................0.619 Rosetta@home.............0.707 BURB.............................0.439 PrimeGrid......................0.709 QMC@HOME..................0.833 SZTAKI Desktop Grid......0.913 .... .9 omg, you better go beat this one down World Community Grid...0.517 uFluids...........................0.507 malariacontrol.net.........0.559 The Lattice Project........0.457 SIMAP............................0.750 Pirates@Home...............0.402 SETI@home Beta...........1.387 .... Of course this is OK, because it's SETI Leiden Classical.............0.474 RALPH@Home................0.557 cpdn seasonal...............1.355 ... omg, better get the police over there now vtu@home.....................0.444 ... much better Nano-Hive@Home..........0.737 Spinhenge@home..........0.563 Docking@Home..............0.360 ... this is a joke right?

If not there are some projects there that are giving out .7 or .8 might want to go beat them down some more. That way everyone will only crunch SETI, and we know how well there servers are handling the load right now, lets see what happens if everyone only crunches the same SETI results 150 each times just to keep everyone with work.

A direct ling to the download site, not to the thread. There are no longer any approved windows SEEx apps, only linux, and mac.
18) Message boards : Number crunching : Jan 24 credit change complaints/comments here (Message 8990) Posted 25 Jan 2009 by Stevea Post: Don't give effort... Travis is the kind of people who bites the hand of the people whom feeds him... He wont have too, once I see sub 1. credits my hosts are gone. I think this is going to punish the Windows users, the linux guy's are able to run SEEx optimized apps, and the Windows guys are not able to. So now everyones credits are cut, because they get more credit than seti's opto app. There's a whole thread in the code section on how to optimize a liunx app, us Windows guy's are up the creek without any know how on how to... And don't say just make one, if I could I would. I have googled for a how to without luck.

According to this site: http://boinc.netsoft-online.com/e107_plugins/boinc/get_cpcs.php The milkyway app is 1.6 x faster that the seti stock app. Cutting by 1/2 will put you in the sub 1. range. I would seriously reconsider giving out less than the seti stock app. This is still an alpha project no?
