Top40 in the daily!

[magicfan241]

We are ranked 39th for the DAY!!!!!!

We are showing what Free-DC can be!

Can we break top 30??? DPC style dump anyone?

magicfan241, :notworthy to those who do the major producing

[the-mk]

That's great! But I think that the dailys will drop after the gauntlet is over :rolleyes:

Breaking the top 30 would be sooo cool! :)

[PY 222]

Wow.. we have been slipping down the ranks on this project for a long time but it seems that we are widely awake now.

Maybe we should continue on and ramp till we reach the Top 100? Even after the gauntlet?

Well crap, I moved everything back to OGR after the stats deadline last night, got a boat load of "nice" OGR stubs that need to be completed "real soon" and Nitrousine is right on my tail in the other project too. :(

what to do..:confused: :( :confused:






/edit/ Contributing to the team's effort(s) is just as important, if not more so than personal goals/accomplishments...production on RC5 resumed.

Hey! Where the heck did you get those nice OGR stubs? Why do you get OGR-24?

I want to have some too. That's unfair, I just get OGR-25s :swear:
[/TRASH-TALK]

Well, I would say that you'll finish those nice stubs and change over to the gauntlet. Or would you share those OGR-24s if they really need to be completed very soon? :Pokes:

@ the-mk YGPM


@ everyone else, have switich all the Win boxen to the pre-release client v2.9007.489b that can be found HERE (http://http.distributed.net/pub/dcti/prerelease/rc/dnetc489b-win32-x86.zip) . So far across all processors I am seeing a great improvement in speed;
P4's are seeing 15-18% incease, T-Bird and XP (barton) cores 25% increase and the old XP 1700's -1800's 20%-22% increase on RC5. However it looks to be a little slower for OGR, 2%-3% slower.

I tried this client on FreeBSD and saw a very small increase =< 1%. :rolleyes: :(

As always YMMV, but well worth the time and effort to make the switich IMO.

Well Spotted Beyond! This core is much quicker on my XP's, for example:

XP2400 on 486b: 6,599,111
XP2400 on 489b: 7,717,604


It's also the first time I've cracked 10Mk/s on a uni-proc x86 CPU (FX51@2.6GHz):

Zowie!!

I'm getting almost 30% increase on my P4s :bouncy:

The P4 2.0 went from 2.687M to 3.450M
The dual P4 2.8 went from 7.7M to 10.7M !!!

Should be a good day today :cheers:

Thanks for the tip.

[magicfan241]

Well, finally 3 months after the new core was first given and proven to be stable, they have added GO 2-pipe, and SGP 2-pipe.

If I remember right, GO used some MMX instructions in it, and that was why they were able to get that measure of speed increase out of it.

magicfan241, waiting for a linux release.

[magicfan241]

Well, the new client does absolutly nothing for the Centrino.

The new cores are horrid on the Pentium M.

I hope the other computers have a good reaction. When they have a DOS test, I'm going to test the C3 on the new cores.

38th for the day!


And up 4 more spots to 224th overall!!

Well done, folks :cheers:

[guru]

Where's the linux client? I've got 9 P4 3G systems but their running Linux. In the near future I may be borging another 27 P4 2G systems and I could use the better client. :swear:

[willy1]

guru-

Here's the page with all the pre-release clients.

RC5 PreRelease clients (http://www1.distributed.net//download/prerelease.php)

[guru]

Willy1, I've already been there. I got the windows client but they don't have a x86 Linux client yet. :swear:

guru

[willy1]

WELL, alrighty then!

If it's not on that page, it don't exist I guess.

[guru]

I bet they are working on it. Windows first, linux second. Hopefully they will have a solaris sparc client soon as well. :notworthy

One can only hope they are working on a linux client....

I for one, am really hoping they are working on a linux client....

Thanks Beyond, but I think the gauntlet has more priority to me now :rolleyes:

dual 1.25 ghz G4

[IronBits]

:scared: Nice output! :smoking:

How much does a dual 1.25 ghz G4 cost these days? ;)

[adream]

if apple still sell them they are about 1100 uk pounds, i got mine for 800 pounds


dnetc/buck its a sure winner, i get over 500 units a day just from this one machine, more than the rest of the pc network here (in my workshop) put together


adream

:)

[IronBits]

$1895 USD (1100 UK pounds / 1600 Euros) dayum! :(

[adream]

i agree that macs aint cheap, but you do get what you pay for

i haven't studied the stats...... what sort of pc can crunch at 26,262,134 keys/sec ?

i dont really understand why the '86 version of dnetc runs so slow...intel and amd aren't that bad at making chips.. wheres the bottlenecks ?

i run 8 windows boxes 3 linux boxes and three macs so you cant call me mac centric, however if i ever need to do any paid work (graphic design, music, video etc) i just use the mac, the other boxes are a render farm, and help keep the workshop warm :)
