Free-DC Super Computer

[IronBits]

Ok folks, we've waited far too long to get this going.
Beside a few linkage repairs, missing teams and cosmetics, we bring you ... drum roll ...
The Free-DC.org Super Computer (http://supercomputer.free-dc.org/) :D
Alternate linkage: http://fsc.dbestern.com
Get them boxen added :thumbs:

Are Hyper-Threaded Xeons considered 1 or 2 CPUS?

In reality, they seem to perform at about 1.7x times the speed of the CPU.

Just trying to be accurate :)

[the-mk]

Great system! :thumbs:

I've added my small farm of uneviable three computers...

Something that would be interesting are percent-stats about:
- operatingsystems
- cpu-type
- amount of ram
- ...
that are used.

But indeed a great system! :thumbs:

I'm just an idiot. I didn't see that "MORE STATS"-link... :crazy:

I'd say count it as one (physical) CPU, and increase the Mhz rating by your 1.7 factor -- reasonable??

[Darkness Productions]

What do we have to do to get a project added to the list?

The project(s) I'm speaking of are ZetaGrid and Entropia. There may be others, but these are two that I'm active in, and I wouldn't mind seeing them up there ;)

[rshepard]

Another project related question--
How would you handle a dual-processor box running two different projects; one on each processor?

[Darkness Productions]

Also, you may want to check the title of the pages. It currently says "Ars Technica Super Computer"

[magnav0x]

Great! More stats to juggle! I'll keep adding boxes as they are stable and let loose on the Hydra workforce :thumbs:

[IronBits]

Go easy on the suggestions... ;) I dug it out of mothball :D
I'm trying to recruit the .asp pro and author - JTrinkle :)
He is on a much needed R & R excursion... hopefully he will return soon.
Until then, just keep adding your boxen and shaddup already :p :)
Keep up the kudos tho! Maybe we can encourage him to return sooner :smoking:
:thumbs:

[rus6]

What a cracking idea :thumbs:

[PY 222]

Just added one machine in to the Free-DC Super Computer score card! Will add more when I get around to it.

Excellent work guys! :thumbs: :thumbs:

[Darkness Productions]

IB: If you can't contact JT, I'd be more than happy to make some updates if you want. I'm decent with ASP as well, and since I'm now down to three classes (from 4) I may have some more time ;)

THINK Comment: Rename THINK to FaD AND (!) add UD ('cause they're not running think any more, but Dock/LigandFit)

[IronBits]

I thunk I think I got *most* of mine listed... finally. :sleepy:

[PY 222]

Holy cow IB!

You sure have alot of firepower! :scared:

Got other ones: SeventeenOrBust, DPAD.

Anyway, a great idea, great work! :thumbs:

[IronBits]

I've been busy skinning the heck out of it.
Sure hope ya'll like the way it's coming along...
DP is gonna have to figure out how to add stuff to the database :p

Thanks :)
Just wait until Condor, Dyyryath, xj10bt, and a few others get to listing theirs! :notworthy
:shocked:

[IronBits]

I finally was able to get ahold of JTrinkle. He's OK, but very busy in RL so can't assist... :(
BUT, he helped me remember how to do some things....
I can do the following now:
add New Project
add New CPU
add New RAM Type
add New Operating System Type
Needless to say, I have added the projects you asked for above :smoking:

[Supp]

Yer great man, IB :thumbs:

[Paratima]

Very cool, indeed. :cool:

As soon as I get a coupla minutes free, I'll add my meager pharm.

[the-mk]

What about the AMD Athlon XP CPUs? Shall I enter their XP-rate (e.g. 2000 for an XP2000+) or their real MHz-rate?

I've entered its real MHz-rate, what about the other crunchers?

[IronBits]

REAL MHz only please...

Done. Renamed THINK in the DB to FaD.
Do you want me to rename the THINK forum to FaD ?
http://www.uab.edu/son/fad/home.htm

To everyone --
I need precise corrections, additions and linkages for the Super Computer DB and site only.
Saves me lots of time by not having to run everything down.

Put Free-DC.org website suggestions where they belong,
right here http://www.free-dc.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=19 so I can keep them separate.
Thanks!
:crazy:

[ulv]

Added my boxes, wow, what am I doing with all this power in my home;)

And, I think the megahertz ratings are a bit pro- Intel, you know that AMD- Mhz and Intel- Mhz are different nowadays:jester:

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Absolutely AMD Mhz for Mhz kicken ass Intel :P (says he who hath a XP2000+ what exact chip name is this again - can never remember, so many name banded about :> and IB why not move some of "lower Calibare" machines back to seti or Im I allowed to just continue to Speed away (lmao :jester: :jester: )

[Beyond]

Once I get some bills paid off I'll be bring the rest of the pharm online, then I will add them to the page.

[IronBits]

You got more??? :scared: :D
Bring it! :moon: :)

I have 2/3rds of my pharmage on DFbeta atm. :smoking:
I'll let you take the lead for awhile...
Appreciate it if you didn't kick up so much dust while your doing it tho! :spank: :)
Of course, I do have some under a different name if you want to do the math :crazy:
I left them at the home of my first love, Team Lamb Chop :thumbs:

in a word...yes :D Mostly T-Birds 1.2/1.4's

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

IB you Biatch (yeah and that when the others are being polite when speaking about ya :p), :rolleyes: where is that good for nothing Mr Clyne...
that's not my dust, me thinks ya need a few of your machines dusted out maybe the will work better :P or are they :notworthy of your attention - Ve Must Vin at all costs Top Von Hundred here ve come

IB Bring it on....

[PY 222]

Checking the Free DC Supercomputer I saw Angus taking the No. 1 position for Total MHz but during closer inspection, I realised that Angus's Intel Pentium4 Xeon has a speed of 4750Mhz.

Just wondering if this is correct?

[IronBits]

5 boxen with 2 CPUs each...

[PY 222]

With 10 CPUs at 4750, this will make each processor run at 475MHz and I have never heard of a Pentium 4 Xeon running at such a low speed.

I believe Angus must have made an error when he typed in the speed of the processor.

[magnav0x]

read this topic over at the DF forums PY

http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2925

[PY 222]

Ohhhhh..... :blush:

Thanks magnav0x for clearing the air regarding Angus's P4 Xeon running at 4750MHz. Also, Angus did post on the second post of this thread regarding the HT enabled Xeons.

As you all can see, the HT enabled Xeon processors created some confusion in my mind because I would never expect to factor in the 1.7x of HT.

So, how can we clear up this confusion in the future? How about the Processor type of the 'Pentium4Xeon' include 'Pentium4Xeon (HT)' ? It might help.

Thanks again guys for clearing up my confusion.

Especially seeing that HT can be turned off/on at whim via BIOS.
Should we start listing XP3000 as 3GHz? I think not.
Real speed and/or OCing speed using multiplier/FSB boosts is ok because it lists actual Hz, and that's what we are tracking.
But it's up to the family of Free-DC.
I put in an entry for Intel PentiumIII Xeon(HT), now ya'll can do your own multiplying, in your head, with whatever number meets your fancy. ;)
Now were did I put that Opteron :p :jester:

[Angus]

Gosh, I never wanted to make this an issue. i just wanted to truly represent the processing power.

I'll change them to whatever folks think they should be listed at.
