Retaking # 1

[BrianM]

Since we have been out producing US-D by a couple hundred a day. How long before we retake the #1 spot?

[FoBoT]

it might take a while, but i may move some more fast machines to this :drums:

[offamychain]

I was doing some math on this last night & forget what I came up with, but it was a long time. With the large #'s of USD's Eon-team members who have found other homes, they really only have 4 or 5 members who are interested in it.

With just a half-dozen dedicated members here, it could EASILY be done. Same as in Chess. With a small amount more fire-power on these 2 projects, both of them would be ours.

The #1 rule in Eon is "Linux RULES!!!"---3 to 5 times as fast!!!

[FoBoT]

crap, they are ahead today :mad:

they had somebody get back onto it and is way up there and bumped them ahead of us

it is a really easy client to install, but putting linux on the boxen first takes a spot of time :geezer:

[offamychain]

Although I am DEFINITELY no Linux expert. I DO know how to download it, burn it, install it, & get Eon, Chess, & DNET going in maybe an hour. I did 3 machines like this in a couple short sessions around a month ago.

This is RedHat9 & these DC-projects only. I don't know how to do anything else (but Ubero) But my 3 run 24/7 like this & never self-destruct, so I guess I did it good.

Anyone interested, PM me & I'll send you the step-by-step instruct's that I used. They're written at grade-school level 'cause that's all I can understand.:D :D :D

I think I still have them on this HD. If not, I can have them rewritten by tomorrow night. No worries.

[IronBits]

We put a mandrake server back on it :D
:cheers:

[Bok]

I was out on my machines for a couple of hours while I moved machines around, lost about 800 or so I guess.

Should be ok now, though a few machines are still offline. Had some 'all you can eat crab legs' plus Guiness with an Irish friend so I'll fix 'em tomorrow :)

Bok

[IronBits]

:drink: :stretcher

[offamychain]

Hey Bok, did ya have some hot butter to dip those things in? ?
I quit drinking after leaving the military, so I'd have ta give you my Guiness, but I can make myself hurt for days with those legs & butter.:p :p :p

That Mandrake should make a noticeable difference.:D :D :D

[PCZ]

I only have one linux box left since I decommissioned my farm :(

Fortunately it is the PXE server :)

Note to self:
Must resist temptation to switch linux nodes back on to crush US'd

[magnav0x]

Just threw a P4 2.4 and 2.8 HT box on this today. Both running Linux naturally. Hope it helps you guys out.

I can not get it to run on Mandrake 9.2, trying to download RedHat now to get going.

[Paratima]

Runs like a house on fire on RH. At least back when I was running it, it did. :p

Hey, PCZ, if you just can't hold yourself back, we'll understand. :rolleyes: :drums:

Before you trash the mandrake install, try this (http://www.open-dc.org/eon.tar.gz) , it worked for willy1 on mandrake 9.1

I've already tried that......no luck. However I have just got that copy of the client to run on one of the FreeBSD boxen. :)

[Bok]

Odd, what error do you get under Mandrake ?

btw I'm running it under FreeBSD 4.8 on one box also :) One of my last remaining boxen which is not converted to gentoo :p

missing (libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2)

I still have 2 FreeBSD 5.1 boxes. :)

[Bok]

I thought as much :)

Just copy it from another box into /usr/lib/

or symlink a later version to that one and it will work.

ln -s libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.2 libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

or whatever you have in /lib or /usr/lib

[Bok]

Nice output guys and with FoBot fixing his machines tomorrow it can only get better .....

I've got a few in reserve too :machgun:

Bok :D

[IronBits]

What kind of output should I be looking for with 1 eon client on Mandrake 9.2 with an xp2600 and lots-o-ram? ;)

[BrianM]

Dam they are ahead of us today as well.:swear: :bang:

[FoBoT]

is the server out of work? i am getting nothing :(

i restarted my boxen, the power in the building went out for 9 seconds on saturday morning :spank:

i gotta get more of these units on UPS's

[Bok]

Yes it's out again. Luckily it's monday morning so it should be back soonish. I'll mail Graeme for good measure

Bok

IB, I'd expect about 100-150 per day with that setup

[Bok]

It's running again now :|party|:

Bok

[FoBoT]

yes, it is :)

i am going to convert 4-8 AMD 2400+ to linux/eon ASAP , might not get them all done today, we'll see

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

hey PCZ, don't resist give in to temptation and SLAM THE US-D into the ground (besides I need ya to help in the fight):Pokes: :Pokes:

smokem if you got'em ! :elephant:

[PCZ]

I think when US d find out what we are planning they will make a fight of it.

Hope so it's more fun that way.

I think rjkc4 found our planning. Look at the stats.

Carlos

[Bok]

Well, rjkc4 is one of the good guys over there and has a lot of power at his disposal. If you are reading, hi Kevin, it's been a while!

I think they are mainly playing in Boinc anyhow.

Bok :thumbs:

[em99010pepe]

I think US-Distributed is starting to move a few machines to eOn.

The battle began?

Carlos

[em99010pepe]

I hope so.

Free-DC vs US-Distributed

Carlos

[Bok]

And we now have #1 :)

Well #2 technically, but who's counting University of Washington :|party|:

Bok

[PCZ]

No point counting them the have only got 4,674,882 points :rolleyes:

[Mustard]

Heh.......... yep, I'd say that U-dubya isn't going to be doing much more eon since the project moved to UT. But we keep at it and we will move past them anyway.

As for USD, if Fritz gets active on this it could really get interesting in a real hurry!!!! We'd have a real contest running then. :)

[Scoofy12]

i threw a box on it. how do i tell it what team I am on?

[rjkc4]

Hey Phil,

Sorry I did not see your post sooner. I had been crunching SOB pretty hard and FAD also.

Hope all is well with you and you are keeping your chin up.

Congrats again to you guys good crunching.

Kevin

First you need to get a password for your account. Go here (http://eon.cm.utexas.edu/getpassword.php).

Then go here (http://eon.cm.utexas.edu/login.php) to join Free-DC Team.

Carlos

[FoBoT]

did we pass USD?

the stats i just looked at showed up over 1,000,000 thingys and ahead of USD

or was i seeing thingS? :confused:

[Bok]

Yeah, we passed them the other day :)

And we hit 1M early today too.

Flying along now!

Bok :cheers:

[Mustard]

And I see that USD keeps adding to the fire which is good!! Nothing like some competition to keep things exciting! :) And of course the end result of it all is that it helps Graeme and his students with their project!!!

:cheers:

[em99010pepe]

Within 5 days we are going to lose 3rd place.

Carlos

[em99010pepe]

Do you guys really like to see me as top cruncher of the team:moon: ?

:cheers:

Carlos

[em99010pepe]

One month later....

Wu's are smaller and the server is 90% of the time up.
We are again behind US-Distributed but with a little help we can reach them.
Each one of you can spare one machine.

Carlos

[Bok]

I've got a couple of instances running on my non-FaD machines. This new Magnesium experiment is pretty fast!

Nice output from Lexx today !!!

I'd just be worried about the Eon server if more people jumped back on at this point, that's when it crashes :swear:

Bok

[em99010pepe]

Well, right now I only have one machine running it.

Do you want to add more machines to see what happens!?!?!

Carlos

[rsbriggs]

Well if a few more machines breaks the server, let's see what happens when I move 20 or so over tonight and tomorrow. My target is team 5th place....

Do I remember someone saying that the client produces more under Linux?

How does this do on a multi-proc and/or HT box?

Does it like Intel or AMD better?

[black_civic55]

ughhh as my struggle for top 10 will increase even more now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im just playin, I'm all for whats best for the team. Cant wait for that new computer so ill have one more on EON.

I think the difference between windows and linux is much smaller these days. Also based on a post from graeme yesterday/day before, the wu's are about to get longer as they switch to a more metallic experiment...

AMD/Intel doesn't seem to make a difference.
