There is another barbeque in the planning stages.
Proposed
April 17th - 19th.
Rally to run on IB's server port 8000

Any primes discovered, and there will be a lot of them i suspect, will be greater than 150,000 digits.
Nearly all the primes discovered will be new.

We will have another opportunity to stick it to ROLP and close the gap on them overall.

Lauren, if you could join us with a few of your computers, it would be nice to see you there, like last time. :)
I know it's only a couple days, but, I'm not asking for your whole pharmage... way TOO much work for that short a time frame.
A handful of quads, or whatever you think you can spare from your current plans is more than enough I'm sure.

Bok, care to jump on this one this time around?
It's only a couple days worth of distraction from your main goals.
It would be nice to see a larger participation of members this time around to. :cheers:

Ok then it's on. :thumbs:

If you dont have the client software or have never run llrnet before speak up, IB and myself can help you get going.


Note:
There is no long term commitment required here, you can participate for the duration of the rally, then go back to your regular projects.

I think I still have my clients installed, but can someone re-post what the server settings should be for this new rally?

Also what happened to the NPLB stats we were using for the last rally?

Care Packages
http://www.ironbits.net/files/llrnet-1core-linux.rar - for Linux, single core, make copies into another directory for mulit-cores
http://www.ironbits.net/files/llrnet-4core-win.rar - for Winders - 4 core version ready to go
http://www.ironbits.net/files/llrnet-8core-win.rar - for Winders - 8 core version ready to go

For Linux, cd into each directory and run ./llrnet

For Winders, cd into each directory and run llrnet.exe

or you can use this script for Winders versions
(assuming the location for the directories PATH is as follows C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\... )
Put this script in C:\dcprojects\NPLB and call it Port8000nplb.bat
@echo off
start "NPLB-1" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB1 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-2" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB2 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-3" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB3 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-4" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB4 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-5" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB5 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-6" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB6 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-7" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB7 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-8" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB8 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe

For Vista, you can use this script (Vista allows you to set affinity for your cores :) )
Put this in C:\dcprojects\NPLB and call it Port8000nplb.bat
@echo off
start "NPLB-1" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB1 /AFFINITY 1 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-2" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB2 /AFFINITY 2 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-3" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB3 /AFFINITY 4 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-4" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB4 /AFFINITY 8 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-5" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB5 /AFFINITY 10 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-6" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB6 /AFFINITY 20 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-7" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB7 /AFFINITY 40 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe
start "NPLB-8" /D C:\dcprojects\NPLB\Port8000\NPLB8 /AFFINITY 80 cmd.exe /C llrnet.exe

Edit the above scripts for the amount of cores you have and directory paths etc.

On the *-win.rar files, just be sure to edit each llr-clientconfig.txt at the following line 'usename=', for each core/directory you use, everything else is good to go :)

username = "LaurenU2" ; put your LoginID/UserName/Screen Name here

It don't get any easier than that folks. Join in the fun, it's only TWO days, then back to what you were doing :D

For Linux folks, here is a setup I use for starting the clients using screen

You need to change LoginID to your LoginID, create a nplb directory, then inside that directory, nplb1, nplb2, nplb3, nplb4 (for 4 cores etc)
Edit the llr-clientconfig.txt for you LoginID/UserName/Screen Name

Create a script called start8000, make sure you chmod 775 start8000 and put it in the root of your home directory
#!/bin/sh
screen -O -S clients -c ~/.screenrc-8000

Create another file called .screenrc-8000 and put it in the root of your home directory (note the . character at the beginning of the filename (makes it hidden))
startup_message off
autodetach on
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string '%{= kG}[ %{G}%H %{g}][%= %{=kw}%?%-Lw%?%{r}(%{W}%n*%f%t%?(%u)%?%{r})%{w}%?%+Lw%?%?%= %{g}][%{B}%Y-%m-%d %{W}%c %{g}]'

#chdir
#screen -t shell 0

chdir /home/LoginID/nplb/8000/nplb1
screen -t 8000-1 1 ./llrnet

chdir /home/LoginID/nplb/8000/nplb2
screen -t 8000-2 2 ./llrnet

chdir /home/LoginID/nplb/8000/nplb3
screen -t 8000-3 3 ./llrnet

chdir /home/LoginID/nplb/8000/nplb4
screen -t 8000-4 4 ./llrnet

Done :cheers:

You need to post in the Teams thread (http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=10826) at the NPLB forum. As soon as AMDave or IronBits catches it, they'll get you added to team Free-DC in the database.

In the meantime, your points will be credited to team "-" (no team), though this will be retroactively corrected when you're added to your team.

Excellent! :thumbs:
Assuming you are using Vista 64, be sure to read the 'how to get started' thread where I show you the scripts to run it optimally. :)
I think you'll like how easy it works.
If running under Vista, don't worry about the icons in the systray being wrong, it's normal to be abnormal in Vista (bug), and haven't found a working solution for that yet.

Trying to get this setup on a Linux (Ubuntu) box but having problems...


x@x:~/NPLB/nplb1$ ./llrnet
Running 'init.lua' ...
Loading library 'basic' ...
Loading library 'client' ...
Loading library 'client_server' ...
LLR network client 0.9b7 started
Based on LLR version 3.5.0
Loading library 'win32' ...
unknown host nplb.ironbits.net
LLRMain started
server dialog thread started ...

and then it just sits there...not sure why it can't find the host when the Windows ones are fine :confused:

/edit - right, if I do a PING nplb.ironbits.net it resolves and if I use the IP address instead, it can logon and run fine...just doesn't work if it has a hostname in the config. Hopefully using the IP address is ok for the rally...

PCZ
04-17-2009, 11:48 AM
Linux client does have issues with DNS resolution.
A reboot will fix it usually.

Or just carry on using the IP it's not likely to change in the next 48hrs.

IronBits
04-17-2009, 08:28 PM
I seem to recall putting the IP for nplb.ironbits.net in each Linux /etc/hosts file to get around the problem, however, as PCZ pointed out, using the IP in the config file is not a problem because the IP for the server is static and it won't change in the foreseeable future. :)

Nice! We are kicking some booty! :|party|:

Well, you guys are definitely beating everyone else quite easily for this rally; a swamping victory seems almost assured. However, another target (and quite a stretch at that) would be to try to take back the lead in the all-time stats from Raiders of the Lost Primes. They just crossed the 5-million mark in # of points and Free-DC is only at 2.77 million. (To put this in perspective, Free-DC's cranked out 27799 points in the slightly <24hrs so far on this rally.) Granted, it's a huge undertaking, but if you're looking for a place to bring out the big guns, you've found it. :)

C'mon guys--you're being showed up by a little upstart team that nobody's even heard of outside of NPLB! You can do better than that! ;)

Ah, no need to worry--sieving is, for the most part, the least of our worries right now. Even though the k=1003-2000 sieving is still somewhat up in the air until June (at which point everything up to n=1M will be all set and we can open the floodgates as necessary), we've got truckloads of k=400-1001 work (Drives 5, 6, and 7) that could keep all of Free-DC busy for months on end. :)

IronBits
04-18-2009, 11:38 PM
Schweet! :cheers:

I've been asked to find out what Free-DC would prefer in order to increase the participation level and interest.
The client is absolutely easy to run, as some of you have found out this time around.

What is easier for you, my fellow teammates?

More frequent rallies with short durations or less frequent rallies with a longer duration?

2 day rally
4 day rally
7 day rally
or longer perhaps?

Boinc is not going to happen for NPLB as the admins prefer it the way it is, as do most of the participants.

It would be great if we could keep some pressure up so ROLP doesn't get too far ahead, or,
we could slowly chew through to their lead and sneak into #1. :D

I'm thinking this one would make a nice candidate for Project of the Month! :rock:
Like OGR, the work units will take longer to complete as the days go by...
The longer we wait to make our move, the longer it will take for us to get there.
In 30 days, we would be really close, and perhaps take #1 IF we all pushed hard. :D

2 day rally
4 day rally
7 day rally
or longer perhaps?

Is it over already?

I think 4 day minimum since switching projects on machines takes a little time so once we have things up and running let it go for 4 or 7 days, then we can switch back to something else.

As for frequency, I think once a month is ok or at least every 2 months. I found one new top 5000 prime so I'm very happy. It was in the top 2000 when I submitted it, now it is 2007.

C'mon guys--you're being showed up by a little upstart team that nobody's even heard of outside of NPLB! You can do better than that! ;)
Was any Free-DC member using 100% of there Resources to push this Rally?
I was only at about 55 - 60% pointed here
If this was the common case among us all
I would say let the Dogs :guntotin:of:guntotin: war out and go to FULL Burn to Take First Place
Projection's say about a 50 day run to take 1st If we can maintain a 50K a day

To do it in 30 days would take a sustained output of 92.5K per day:firedevil:

I Might be able to Crunch about 40K :hiya:myself But not sure what the other
members can put on the Table:bar:

PCZ and myself can put up ~16K per day, but not for a couple weeks until we finish the sieve jobs we are doing so we can load up more work onto the NPLB llrnet servers.
32K per day + PCZ/IB
40K per day + Lauren
20K per day (Team Free-DC) of course, more the merrier :D

We also do not have a full weeks run into the stats system, so the time to overtake will take a big drop right?
It shows we are gaining at 16,619, when in fact, we are gaining faster than that right (50,000)? Now it says 126 days


Rank Team Score Average Daily Gain Days to Overtake
1 ROLP 5,104,598 25,775 16,619 126.56

I did it by the math
If the ROLP team stays at there output now 25K X 30 = 750 K + 2 Mil =
2,750,000 / 30 = 91666.666666666666666666666666667 points per day

I'll put at least a core or three on it when the current PotM is over, if we decide to push.

I can add another 230 per hour once I finish my sieve work by May 2nd.
PCZ will bring a tad more than that in a couple weeks, around May 10th.
That's an additional 12K per day. :smoking:

It should be really close!!! :eat: :eat: :eat: :D

So, if we offically start the PotM on May 1st, I won't be too late the the :|party|:

Anyway of having it run unobtrusively? For the rally weekend I could put up with 4 or 8 command windows but if I'm going to run it for longer would really want a better way (i.e. less command windows :p)?

I can see if I was on XP I could install as a service via the system tray icon but under Vista, the system tray icon's menu doesn't show properly :( Anyway to get it as a service via command line?

I use grouping ;)
In Vista, probably not.

Got 1 installed as service (3rd menu option - bit of trial and error when each entry is blank :p) but when I go to do the 2nd service it fails...I'll try and fiddle a bit more :)

/edit - decided to just run LLRNET from the startup folder; can't seem to install more than 1 service as the service name is hardcoded by the looks of it...oh well, no command windows - just dodgy tray icons instead :p

Anyone know of any plans of a new client that plays better with Vista in terms of the tray icons/menu?

PCZ

The native service installer only really works for one client.

I run all my clients as services using srvany and instsrv.
Do you need some instructions ?

I'll stick with the system tray icons for now - was using IB's script that set the affinitys which is why I had the command windows ;p
