500th Post! :D

[LAURENU2]

IB were you camped out on the door steep to catch the 500th:cheers:

[the-mk]

So, is this thread our longest one? Or do we have longer one?
:cheers:

[Chinasaur]

Wow! Go maefly!!! :|party|: :cheers:

[the-mk]

Only about 1,200 GNodes were missing yesterday to re-overtake "BOFH@Chalmers"!! :cheers:

Go maefly go!!

[the-mk]

We made it back to #25!
:cheers:
Go maefly go!!

[maefly]

25th place! Woohoo! :banana:

[the-mk]

maefly, you :train: ed me! but overall it'll take another day until you overtake me :D should be done tomorrow at your current output!

do you want to tell us how many hardware you brought to OGR25? you crunch that amount in a few days where I needed years :cry:

[maefly]

Sorry about that, mk :)

Right now I have around 45 P4 3.0 HT machines on it. That plus around 20 lower power machines. They aren't full time right now...but they pack a good punch!

I hope to bring a little more power to the cause..stay tuned.

[CaptainMooseInc]

maefly, did u stop on LLRNet for awhile?

[maefly]

maefly, did u stop on LLRNet for awhile?

Um, yeah..maybe...:blush:

Not quite yet, but moving on....ssshhh...I haven't broken the news to Lee and Bryan yet :umm:

I'm in the habit of moving to new projects after a year on them...it's my anniversary! :|party|:

After much thought :scratch: I decided on OGR....

So, I'm gonna rock :drums: and roll :rotfl: with it!

(the "Smile List" is coming in handy tonight :lmao: )

[CaptainMooseInc]

If you've still got your own k's let them know soon. Also if your production is dropping I'm sure that they have picked up on it by now. They realize DCing can be fickle and I'm certain they won't complain. I mean you did find a prime for them and knock out HUGE amounts of k's.

Maybe you'll come back around to them some day once you make your rounds with your huge amount of power. :)

[em99010pepe]

Guys,

Added my work machine (AMD 2200+) because I'm tired of Cuboids and its upgrades during the night. I will try to dump every month or so.

Carlos

[the-mk]

We are climbing up ladders very nice :D

:notworthy maefly

Did you notice that "BOFH@Chalmers" stopped production since a few days? Do they want us to roadkill again with a huge :dump: ?

With current output we should :train: "TeamUFies (All Hail the Dust Puppy!)" too in a month or two :D

keep going!
:cheers:

[alpha]

No posts here lately so a quick update is due...

We've taken #24 and we are consistently the top producing team each day in ranks 19-29 (as far as I have seen). Yesterday we did 157T whilst the team in #23 called CCC.de did 65T. We're about 4200T (4.2 million Gnodes) behind them so we should take them in about 46 days (21st November) if production rates stay like this.

Maybe we could set a deadline as a target? If we can find another 10T per day it should shave off about 5 days so we'd be overtaking on 15th November. Of course, this is all very approximate because our (and everyone elses) daily rates vary wildly each day.

I take it everyone with an AMD CPU has upgraded to the latest pre-release client (http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11739) with the new optimized AMD core?

[the-mk]

Yes, I upgraded some minutes ago!

We'll see how my production improves :cheers:

[alpha]

Nice 237T dump maefly. :smoking: Looks like your weekend production is consistently higher than weekday by about 80T over the past 3 weeks!


About 3854T to go for #23!

[the-mk]

The new 498-prerelease client shows a little improve :D

:eek: 237T dump?? :shocked:
That's massive!!

:cheers:

[alpha]

The second phase of the project is 30% complete as of yesterday.

This is based on the number of stubs, not the number of Gnodes required to crunch. Since the stubs nearer the end of the project are likely to be smaller, the latter part of phase 2 shouldn't take as long.

In other words, we're doing the hardest part first and the latter part of the project should take less time to complete. Quoted for truth:



The higher-diff stubs overlap with the smaller-diff stubs from later sub-phases, so there is less work (fewer average nodes per stub) left for the later sub-phases. This makes the overall project percentage for Phase 2 (which is measured in stubs not nodes) seem to progress more slowly in the early subphases, than the later subphases.

[the-mk]

Today it looks like guru wants to stay ahead of maefly :D



Rank Name Project Rank GnodesY GnodesT
3 guru 219 (+8) 134,676 8,260,726
4 maefly 220 (+11) 233,898 8,213,918


That will be a close race!!
And yesterday we were the second best team!!
:cheers:

[alpha]

I think maefly has put some back on SoB, hopefully his OGR production will stay high.

We're still flying though! Overtaking doesn't look too far away now.

Over the past 9 days we have averaged 244T per day.
Over the past 9 days CCC.de have averaged 67T per day.
We're 2607T behind.

But if guru can keep up production like that we should catch them in no time! :thumbs: :cheers:

[the-mk]

Stats are down once again :D

What Fiddles .plan (http://n0cgi.distributed.net/cgi/dnet-finger.cgi?user=fiddles) tells us:


:: 30-Oct-2006 16:08 CST (Monday) ::
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, stats are down again. More information when we know more.

[Chinasaur]

#22..with a bullet!

Because of the heavy hitters on the team..we jumped TWO places in one day! To number 22!!!!

Way to go Maefly, Guru!!!!!!


:cheers: :cheers:

[the-mk]

I think it was two places in two days, but it is a great result! :thumbs:
Way to go team!

Glad I can come help again now that the weather is cooler and using less energy ;)

[the-mk]

Hey!
Free-DC is in TOP 20 in OGR-25!!!
Way to go team!!
:cheers:

[Chinasaur]

maefly and guru's output beat the Cows yesterday for #2 for the day. Amazing output you two!

[maefly]

Top 20! That's great..good going team!
:clap:

[the-mk]

Thanks for your huge contribution, maefly!
:cheers: :thumbs:

[Fozzie]

Anyone fancy doing some OGR WUs?

I've popped a box on it to test the water.

[the-mk]

That will take some time until we could reach top 15...

Guru is racing ahead of maefly... I think that he don't want to be :stomp:

[Fozzie]

Got one box on OGR 24/7 to help out.

Added my X2 for a while too.

[maefly]

Thanks Fozzie! :thumbs:

[Chinasaur]

Hey Fozzie!

You want to use the Free-DC OGR Proxy? Add this to your dnetc.ini

[networking]
autofindkeyserver=no
keyserver=*:2064;www.open-dc.org

Then track your daily work at: http://stats.free-dc.org/dnet/ogr/byemail.html

:cheers: mate!

[maefly]

OK, I'm using the Free-DC OGR Proxy. But, my e-mail address shows...how do I get my username (maefly) to show instead?

[em99010pepe]

Last Monday I added one machine to OGR and it's running offline since then.

Carlos

[Chinasaur]

OK, I'm using the Free-DC OGR Proxy. But, my e-mail address shows...how do I get my username (maefly) to show instead?

Maefly, go to the Dnet site and Edit your paricipant data. You can select which way to display your name. I "think" this is how I did it. Can't remember my password right now so I can't login :)

[Fozzie]

for the next 24 hours.

Let's see what that'll do.

[Fozzie]

we'll get Winbiff in 12 days, but if we try hard we might get SPring8 by New year but we need a bit of an extra effort.

So who fancies pushing OGR for New Years Day?

[Chinasaur]

MK!

You and I seem to do the same number over the weekends. What do you fire up on wekeends? I've got an iMac CoreDuo 2Ghz with a 1.8Ghz Turion.

How you doing otherwise?

:cheers:

[the-mk]

- on weekdays (Monday to Friday)
it depends, if I'm at home or I'm on a business trip. If I'm at home my AMD 3800 x2 is running for about 12 hours a day. If I do have a torrent download running, I do that on a extra machine, which is a Intel Pentium M with 1,7 ghz. That runs the about the same time like my AMD. The last few weeks I'm on business trips so I don't run any computer while I'm away from home...

- on weekends
I'm most time at home and have my AMD 3800 x2 running from Friday 6 pm to Monday 6 am, and if I have download running, the 1,7 ghz Pentium M is running too.

The AMD 3800 x2 is running on windows and the Pentium M I've switched some weeks ago to Mandriva Linux, but the output is pretty the same like I had on windows with that machine :D

My plans for the future are retiring the Pentium and sell it to a friend, put the AMD 3800 x2 to the "Download Server" position with linux (where the d.net OGR client has an increase in output), and substitute the AMD 3800 x2 with an Intel core 2 duo... maybe with a Dell Dimension E520 or I put together a nice small form factor PC with a Shuttle Barebone SD32G2...

[Chinasaur]

I'll be very interested to hear the output variance between the X2 and Core2Duo when you switch :|party|:

:cheers:

[em99010pepe]

I get the same ouput for an AMD X2 3800+ (2GHz) and for a Core 2 Duo T5500 (1.66GHz)

Carlos

[Chinasaur]

Thanks em..interesting results :)

[em99010pepe]

Added another machine to OGR. Dumps every 1000 units.

Carlos

[Fozzie]

I get 10% more from the Core 2 Duo as I get from my X2 3800+.

[em99010pepe]

I get 10% more from the Core 2 Duo as I get from my X2 3800+.

My Core 2 Duo is a laptop, maybe that's the reason.

Carlos

[alpha]

Foz, is your X2 overclocked?

[Fozzie]

the X2 is running at stock, found overclocking it more trouble than it was worth.

Just looked at the logs I get 25million per core on the X2 and 27.5million per core on the C2D.

[Chinasaur]

So I'm getting 23.6 on a 1.8Ghz Turion. 54 on a CoreDuo iMac 2Ghz.

PPC still stomps everything else OGR. I did 60+ on a Dual 1.8Ghz G5 PowerMac :banana:

[JustEmazing]

Okay, so Fozzie recruited me to OGR-25 for my 2 FreeBSD 6 boxes. I've installed on one server and it seems to be crunching fine. I'm using Bok's pproxy. Hoping I got the whole buffer config right, etc. Looks like I can't join the team until I complete a packet and I don't know how long that takes :) We'll see where this adventure goes! :thumbs:

Great to have you on board! :thumbs:

T'is true, you won't show up on stats until the following day after submitting your first stub. Actually, the official stats are down right now so you might have to wait a few days.

The stubs take varying amounts of time to complete but it should be anywhere from a couple of minutes to a couple of hours on modern hardware.

[Fozzie]

to get yourself a password to access your stats and then you can do al the modifications.

Welcome aboard bro. :cheers:

[em99010pepe]

Added another machine.
So I have:

1 - AMD 2200+
1 - AMD 64 3000+
1 - Intel Dual 2.8GHz

Carlos

[em99010pepe]

Almost a week with no stats. I think I dumped 100k Gnodes on OGR.

Carlos

[alpha]

100T? If so, that's a nice dump - congrats! :clap:

Hopefully the stats will be back soon.

[em99010pepe]

My benches:

AMD 2200+ (1.8GHz) --- 22 Mnodes/sec
AMD 64 3000+ (2.0GHz) --- 25 Mnodes/sec
AMD 64 X2 3800+ (2GHz) --- 52 Mnodes/sec
Intel P4 dual 2.8 GHz --- 34 Mnodes/sec
Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 (1.66GHz) --- 51 Mnodes/sec

[the-mk]

Nice benches! Are all of them running with windows? Or do you use other operating systems?

[em99010pepe]

Nice benches! Are all of them running with windows? Or do you use other operating systems?

All under Win XP.

Carlos

[Chinasaur]

Wow! The dual P4 really gets hammered by the X2 3800. Very good example of faster is not better :)
:cheers:

[the-mk]

If you calculate it back to MNodes/GHz per Core you will get pretty the same numbers... but the Intel Core 2 Duo has a nice performance!!

AMD 64 3800 X2 (2GHz) has two cores --> 13 MNodes/GHz/Core (=52MNodes/(2GHz*2Cores))
Intel P4 2,8 GHz has one core --> 12,2 MNodes/GHz/Core (=34MNodes/(2,8GHz*1Core))
Intel Core 2 Duo (1,6 GHz) has two cores --> 15,7 MNodes/GHz/Core (=52MNodes/(1,6GHz*2Cores))

[alpha]

An update on the stats situation from TheJet today:



The new drives are en route to the stats server [will be delivered first half of next week]. The plan is to attempt a staged installation to prevent any data loss [utilizing the RAID to our advantage for once]. I'm not sure how long the process will take, but I'll keep you updated as I know more.

[em99010pepe]

Stats were updated today, only made 50k instead of the 100k :blush:.
Free-DC work: 99,924,420 Gnodes, almost 100,000,000 Gnodes!!!!

Carlos

[the-mk]

the next few days we might climb up the ladder :D

[wirthi]

/me is again full on OGR, my new Intel Core 2 (2.4 GHz) is now online 24/7 and doing about 73 MNodes/sec.:thumbs: :rock:

[the-mk]

you mean the E6600, right?

/me bought a Shuttle SD32G2 barebone, which supports Intel Core 2 Duo and I'll put in an E6300 (need to buy that one and all the other things like RAM and HDD and VGA, ...) and let him run, when I'm at home (depends if I'm on business trips or not...)

glad to have you back wirthi!
:cheers:

[the-mk]

BTW: while looking at our stats I noticed that we really climbed up the ladder!!!
:cheers:
Great job team!!

From #20 to #19

Wow! :clap:
:allhail:

[alpha]

Congrats everyone, finally broke through that barrier! :|party|:

Unfortunately, the hill is getting ever steeper. We're 5P behind #18.

[kitcat]

Some nice crunching :cheers:
:kitcat:

P.S. must move off your proxy one day and I think Bok can fix maeflys handle on the proxy.

[Bok]

Hey buddy, long time. :hiya:

Your'e more than welcome to continue using the proxy :)

I can indeed fix those, I haven't looked on that page for quite some time...all done, but they'll have to wait until the next update..

Congrats on the 100M!

Bok

Thanks, Bok! :hifi:

[Chinasaur]

We're 5P behind #18.

Actually, there is no "we". It's Maefly and Guru..and was FoBoT. The rest of us just run around in the weeds. All movement is due to the 2-3 heavy hitters. Anything we do is just noise.

Not to dampen the spririt of the team in any way ;)

:cheers: :cheers:

[alpha]

That's pretty harsh China! If you ignore FoBoT, PY 222, maefly and guru then we've still done over 25P between 67 of us which is about a quarter of the entire team's production. Without us we would be about #28 instead.

Lots of users with quite low production seems to work for DPC! ;)

I see what you are saying though, maefly and guru can do more work in about a week than I've done in almost 6 years. :eek:

[Mustard]

Seems like the daily stats run from dnet is late.... :(

[alpha]

Congratulations maefly on your most productive day to date!

:clap:326Tnodes :clap:

[maefly]

Congratulations maefly on your most productive day to date!

:clap:326Tnodes :clap:

Well, thanks! But I think it was because the stats were down a couple days. I didn't add any more machines, so this number just seems impossible.

[alpha]

I don't think so. Look at your daily stats (http://stats.distributed.net/participant/phistory.php?project_id=25&id=458450) and it shows normal activity each day with a peak on 17th.

Usually when the stats are down they don't return with a cumulative number. Rather, each day shows like normal and you have to backtrack to see what your production was on those days.

Do you run a local pproxy?

[maefly]

Do you run a local pproxy?

No, I just use Free-DC's pproxy. I guess I got lucky :)

[kitcat]

Hey buddy, long time. :hiya:

Congrats on the 100M!

Bok

Thanks Bok, I think I might still be using the dog as a proxy. (I'm sure Bok will understand).

Looking like I might get stomped by maefly tomorrow in the overall standing unless I can find a few packets, that's some great work.

Since it's holiday I'll let all my machines run 24/7... An E6300, a 3800X2 and a 1,7 GHz Pentium M :D

I think until new year I could reach #1000

Looks like sTs950 is going to stomp me in tomorrow's stats update. Congrats, but when I ramp back up over here, I'm coming for you. :Pokes::thumbs:

[alpha]

In light of pfb's recent dumpage I've decided to do a 500 stub mega dump on a single machine. I've just started crunching it today - let's see how long this puppy takes.

No idea how many Gnodes it will be worth, but I'm sitting on 506 Gnodes from 11 stubs so far. That would put 500 stubs at 23T, but it is a bit early to be estimating at the moment. It would be a nice surprise if it turned out being enough to take #13 from DP! :)

Edit: looks like sTs950 will break 1P in tomorrow's update - congrats!

[maefly]

This Thomas Svedberg guy...wow! :eek:

[alpha]

Yeah, ouch! (http://stats.distributed.net/participant/phistory.php?project_id=25&id=177989)

I'm 90 stubs through my 500. Playing too much Guild Wars so it isn't getting much CPU time. :) Building a Barton core XP 2500 (mostly from spare parts) for my gf in the next few days, might get it to join in with 500 of its own.

[the-mk]

looks like this Svedberg is producing as much GNodes per day as I've ever been doing since beginning :D

[Chinasaur]

Anyone know the story on this person/group of person's?

:cheers:

[the-mk]

I'd be curious too who's that heavy hitter :D

[Chinasaur]

hey MK! How you doing? Ramped up for the weekend yet?

[the-mk]

Hi china!

Not much to ramp up that weekend, just the usual crunchers :D

I've been out for a business trip the whole week, so I've shutdown my cruncher... next few weeks I'm on customer site too, but I think that I can drive home in between to crunch a little bit :D

:cheers:

[Chinasaur]

I picked up a G4 laptop that puts out 31nodes/sec..but runs so hot..only run on weekends when I'm home.

Had to find something to keep up with your weekend numbers :D

:cheers:

[alpha]

BTW guys, I'm 344 stubs through my 500 now. :)

Got the 2500+ up and running at stock 1.8GHz, but it is running pretty cool so I'll mess around with it soon. Should add a little bit to my dailies, though it will only be part time and probably not even producing every day.

China, hopefully you mean Mnodes/s otherwise it isn't worth powering that bad boy up! ;) 31Mnodes/s is about what my single core 3700@2.5GHz does.

[alpha]

Well, I left it crunching overnight last night and when I woke up this morning I saw that 509 stubs were complete. I must've hit a large number of smaller stubs. :(

Oh well, they've been flushed now. I think I'll start 500 stubs on the new 2500+.

[wirthi]

My core2 did about 8600 stubs in 30 days (190000 stats units)

[the-mk]

:woot:
Let me guess, its a Core 2 Duo E6600?

Nice numbers!!

He, amazing :)

I did a little test last night on my Conroe clocked to 3,0 GHz and it showed 90 Mnodes/s or 7800 points per day :)

Edit: yeah it will be on shortly, want to flush some caches first

[guru]

My next monster is in the works. Dual Xeon 2.66Ghz Quad core. 8 threads at 2.66Ghz each or a total of 21.28Ghz. I need to talk to my French buddy so I can overclock them to 3Ghz or 24Ghz total.

:smoking:

[the-mk]

Question: does the use of Hyper Threading really improve output? I have no machine with HT available, but what do the output-numbers do, when you disable HT? Can anyone give me numbers with and without HT on a non-overclocked machine?

[guru]

HT for ogr helps very little. Around an extra 17% or less.

Is this a commercially available proc ? The cloverton?

[guru]

Yea it's a clovertown, I think they are for sale now. My pair has been burning a hole in my desk for a while. Hopefully my motherboard will arrive next week.

[Fozzie]

16th place.

Keep it up everyone. :banana: :banana:

[the-mk]

Do we have a list with best Team-day ever? We made 413,386 GNodes at last stats update! This must be one!

Only a few days until #16!

:cheers:

[Chinasaur]

Have a new 1.66CoreDuo™ cooking away to keep up with your output MK :)

:cheers:

[the-mk]

I saw you man! It's not easy to keep up with you at the moment :D

Is it just a CoreDuo or a Core 2 Duo?

I think after passing the 3,000,000 Gnodes and Free-DC getting #16 I need to retire from DC :D

:cheers:

[Chinasaur]

I hear ya. Truth be told, I needed a new cheap lappie, and a refurb'd CoreDuo™ 1.66Ghz was the only one left with XP Pro on it. Running my G4 iBook turns it into a blisteringly hot little box. Both laptops only run on the weekend.


:cheers:

[guru]

Ok, got the 8 core beast built with linux. Here's the benchmark scores for a single thread. All cores are running at 2.66Ghz.

[Mar 22 21:34:54 UTC] RC5-72: Benchmark for core #7 (SGP 3-pipe)
0.00:00:17.13 [9,599,831 keys/sec]

[Mar 22 21:36:50 UTC] OGR-P2: Benchmark for core #3 (GARSP 6.0-asm-rt1-mmx)
0.00:00:16.93 [40,910,083 nodes/sec]

All 8 cores comes to:
RC5: 76,798,648 keys/sec
OGR: 327,280,664 nodes/sec

Anyone want to do the calculations for me to get the 24hr totals?

[alpha]

:rock:

327 Mnodes/sec
= 19.620 Gnodes/minute
= 1,177.2 Gnodes/hour
= 28.3 Tnodes/day

I think that's about right.

I get just over 2 Tnodes/day from a dual P3 933.

[the-mk]

:scared: 28.3 Tnodes/day out of one box?? :scared:

Impressive!!
:cheers:

[guru]

I'm shooting to get another 6 dual core 3Ghz xeon systems online this week. That should be good for a total of 23 Tnodes/day.

[JustEmazing]

:Pokes:
Overtaking moomin : 0.56 Days | Gap : 177,597
Overtaking Team Depaul : 0.99 Days | Gap : 393,505
:cheers:

[alpha]

We passed them both! :D

We're now 30 Pnodes behind #15. The teams above #15 are grouped quite closely so once we reach them we should be able to climb fairly quickly.

[guru]

Ok, I added 6 3Ghz xeon (woodcrest) systems yesterday and another 4 today. Each system averages about 8K Tnodes/day. 80 Tnodes/day plus the 25K Tnodes for the 8 core system should put me over the 200 Tnodes/day mark.

[JustEmazing]

:cheers: very nice guru!
I should be able to double my current output sometime next week.
That should avg me around 40T per day.

[IronBits]

... over the 200 Tnodes/day mark. Awesome guru! :metal: :hifi:
:shocked:

[alpha]

In light of Ironbits passing me on the proxy stats (:swear:) and my approach to the exclusive 1P club, I've decided to up my production a little. Nothing major compared to most of you guys, but I may be able to double up to somewhere near 5T/day. I've rolled out the prerelease client to most of my boxes now and have seen a very small improvement.

We were #3 yesterday with nearly 587T.

[the-mk]

I missed the climb up to #16 :cry:

Awesome job! Way to go!

Another dump like this and Nitrousine will :train: me...

[alpha]

Ouch, watch your back!

Just realised I've recently been passed by a few and wirthi is getting closer too. My new X2 does 60 Mnodes/sec but I'm busy with a few BOINC projects at the moment. When I return, I'm getting those lost positions back! :)

[the-mk]

What X2 is it exactly, alpha?

[alpha]

Only a 3800+ and I can't remember what it was clocked at when I benchmarked OGR. It's running stable at 2.4GHz at the moment but I still need to play with it a bit.

I think I might be able to get up to almost 10 Tnodes/day if I bring all I have to the table. Not enough to catch you any time soon! :cry:

[the-mk]

got roadkilled :cry:

"only" a 3800 X2? Which socket? 939 or AM2?

My 3800 X2 (a Toledo for 939) is doing about 52.5 MNodes/s with 2 GHz

[alpha]

Well yeah, it's a low end X2 but it outperforms my single core predecessor by a mile so I'm very pleased. :)

It's socket 939 (Manchester) with 2x512kb L2. 52.5 Mnodes/sec sounds about right for yours at 2GHz, if mine does ~60 at 2.4. Aren't you gonna overclock that CPU? Over the past few days, mine has been running at 53C in the night and 55C in the day, on stock cooling.

I'm still playing with the overclock on my gf's Barton 2500+. It's only running at 2GHz (~50C), so I think there is room for improvement. At stock speed it did around 25 Mnodes/sec, so I might be able to get it near 30 if I'm lucky.

BTW it looks like you're safe from Condor for a while but keep an eye on him!

[the-mk]

I'm safe from Condor? :D Well he is far far away, but he has higher output than I currently have...

I'll keep my 3800 X2 on standard speed, because I want a silent and stable system, but it would be more silent if Cool&Quiet would enable it, when CPU has only 1% load or something like that... but with crunching... what ever...

[alpha]

From bovine's .plan:



Dear friends,

We would like to announce that we have just recently completed
OGRp2-25.1 (ie: OGR-25 phase 2 sub-phase 1). For a full technical
summary of the current progress and phases of OGR, please see
http://faq.distributed.net/?file=230

We are continuing to make progress on OGRp2-25 (sub-phases 2, 3, 4,
and 5) at this time. Due to the arrangement of the stubs within the
sub-phases, there is less work (fewer total stubs) left for the later
sub-phases. Our current estimated percentage complete for all of the
OGRp2-25 work is ~51.13%, as of 2007-04-25. You can see the current
percentage at http://stats.distributed.net/projects.php?project_id=25

Of course RC5-72 is also actively running, so you can choose to
participate in one or both of our projects.

It is also exciting to be able to announce that this month marks the
10-year anniversary of the start of distributed.net! We thank everyone
that has participated in our projects to date and look forward to
continued success.

Moo! ]:8)

This is quite exciting, since sub-phase 1 consists of 48,979,672 stubs and we know we've got sub-phases 2-5 well underway anyway.

[JustEmazing]

hmmmm...alpha's back. I better borg sumpin' :clap:

[the-mk]

wow, alpha is back! :thumbs:
where did you get that power from?

[alpha]

Don't worry guys, I've just been hoarding for a few days. :)

I've returned with everything though, I want to claim a few places back!

[the-mk]

Way to go!

I'll be back here for the next week as OGR is the most reliable client to leave running unattanded, and I'll be out of town.

Here's hoping it doesn't prove me wrong, and crash after a day. :bang:

[alpha]

Agreed, Fozzie. This thing is rock solid.

You might like to pull in a good cache on your clients just in case stubs dry up on the keyservers again, though you're probably safe if you use Bok's pproxy. Regardless, I like to keep 1000 stubs on each of my clients and my local pproxy caches 1250 stubs of its own.

[alpha]

As JustEmazing said a few days ago, we're creeping up on Team Hungary STB+ and BOFH@Chalmers now. Top 10 for us should definitely be a realistic goal and would give us the presence that we deserve!

wus to crunch offline.

[wirthi]

Just download them on one client and copy the .in and .out-files to the other machine. You do not have to overwrite the existing buffers there (but of course can), you can also use the "-import" command line parametert.

Didn't mean to interfere with your ramping up there Fozzie :) Just wanted to help the team get some points to try and make the push into the top ten before the project ends. With the numbers that everyone is generating it looks like we should be able to do it too.

[Fozzie]

aren't interfering at all, good to have your boxen with us again.

I've just tried out a little offline test if it all goes well I'll pull a few GHZ over from DPAD.

The client keeps stopping when I run it offline. I've collected enough wus but it runs for a while then stops for no apparent reason.

[[NGS]Cpt00Kirk]

Hi Fozzie.... you "problem" is very easy to resolve.



[buffers]
frequent-threshold-checks=2

change the number 2 ( you had here a 4 I think) into a zero and off you go again until your buffer is emty.

0 = crunch without connecting with a sever / proxy
2 = crunch wu and download a new 1 directly (so offline means that de core wont do anything because he cant download 1)

have Fun MegaFlushing :rock:

can you request longer lasting wus?

No.

You can only request more.

[the-mk]

I'll be cutting my production for the next week because I'm on vacation in Greek :D drinking some Mythos and having some fun
:cheers:

[Brucifer]

Okay, time for the dumb question of the week, month, or year... :) The powers to be say that the project is at 52% or so completion. I would assume that is based on the percentage of total number of work units completed? I'm watching my crunchers just chewing through work units as we seem to be in a bunch of really short buggers. So supposing all or the majority of work units left for the project are short buggers, then does that lend to the belief that the second half of this project could go by really fast as compared to the first half???? Or is there some other way that they are tracking the completion percentage for the project?

edit: The competition is getting a little too close in my main project, so going to have to put some effort back into that to build up some distance again. sigh....

[JustEmazing]

Brucifer: I don't have the answer about how the percentage is calculated. I do think we can make the top 10 before the project completes. I may have to start tracking their "completion" percentage. It is definitely rising as we pick up steam. As for switching back to the other project: thanks for joining us with whatever you can spare!

I'll get something back here shortly, just won't be as high as it's been. I'd like to see the top ten before the end of the project. Would be cool for the team history. And I'd like to see if I can get down into the 300's too. :)

Your thoughts to track the percentage probably isn't a bad idea as it would give an idea on how things are tracking.

[alpha]

Looks like I came back just in time to see us take some places. :) Of course, we had a power cut whilst I was on holiday so lost a couple of days production.

As for percentage calculation, this has been discussed extensively in another thread (http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12240&p=111851). To summarise:
percentage completion is based on the number of stubs, not the number of nodes
average stub length should shorten as we progress through the project, so percentage completion will rise faster as we get nearer to the endOh, and have a good one the-mk! :cheers:

Far as I can tell..it's just, and always, been the heavy hitters at the top (1-3) doing the heavy lifting.... anyone else is along for the ride.

:lmao:

Timeframe to #13 is about one week with yesterdays production :cheers:

[LAURENU2]

I am still adding Nodes to this project
I am at about 75% deployed as of right now

I guess at the rate of pay you could expect me to pitch in about 140 or so K a day at full speed

what is it to 1st

[wirthi]

Much longer, the project will run out of workunits much earlier I fear.

Edit: #1 Team has 10times as many workunits, and is still three times as fast as we are. Check http://stats.distributed.net/team/tlist.php?project_id=25&low=1&limit=100

what is it to 1st

Ouch I blew a circuit today:swear: and a 1/4 of my crunchers were down for part of the day :swear:

[IronBits]

If it was one of the new 30 amp circuits, I'd say you are close to burning down the barn! :fireboun:

[LAURENU2]

No I replaced the Main 30's with 40 amps and they are holding OK now
It was one of the local 15 amp I am probably just a bit unbalanced
Or could just need a new 20 Amp breaker:bang:

[IronBits]

Rule of thumb is 8 CPUs per 15 amp circuit to be safe.

100 watts =~ 1 amp

most DC computers use 150-200 watts or more, each.

If you can get your hands on the Romex and it's hot, back off a few. :looney:

[LAURENU2]

hahaha IB even my Main drop from the street is warm:fireboun:

Even the transformer on the poll BuzzZZ's allot when I am at Full Power:scared:

My Meter spins like a helicopter trying to lift off with a car load of my money:bang:

:jester:

But what is a DC'er to do:cheers:

[wirthi]

At yesterday's rate, we will be #10 in 55 days:

in 4 days, we could beat Russian Team for #13
in 34 days, Namibia RC5-64 team for #12
in 36 days, Team EvangeLista (Macs Rule! :-) for #11 in
in 55 days, Monochrome BBS for #10.

Czech D.NET Team is quite fast too, thus harder to beat.

[LAURENU2]

:umm: Are We There Yet :jester:
:idea: I think I need More power:rock:
Now where did I put that Dark-mater collector:looney:

[JustEmazing]

Wow! We could pass Russian Team tomorrow.

Way to go! :cheers:
