Thanks Edo.
Just made a small dump. Let's see if we can appear in the stats.
Let's rock and roll!!!!

OK, guys and gals. New Free-DC sub team is launched. Name of new sub team is Free-DC Mercenaries. It came into existance from PM conversation Carlos and I have for a few days now.
Free-DC Mercenaries' main mission is to help Free-DC reach #1 place on as many DC projects as possible. We can say that we attack 1st places on behalf of Free-DC. Following our mission our goal is to build Free-DC Mercenaries fleet as big as possible. Every new box counts, and we hunt them actively.
First project that we will run is DPAD and we will crunch it until Free-DC reach #1 position. After that we will start looking for new project to attack #1 place for Free-DC.
That will be our style. Once we pick a project we crunch it until Free-DC reach #1 place on that project. After that we move on to the next project where our help is needed in attacking #1 position for Free-DC.
If you want to join Free-DC Mercenaries fleet in attacking 1st place at DPAD on behalf of Free-DC please use attached user.txt or enter in your user.txt following line...
Free-DC Mercenaries[Free-DC.org]
And don't forget the rule #1 - we do it because it's fun (and we want Free-DC to dominate the DC world).

Thanks Carlos!
Let's join the fight for 1st place at DPAD on behalf of Free-DC!
Everyone who is interested, don't forget we scheduled our subteam's dump on every Saturday.
Edo

I"ll help you out this saturday...
Thanks Bok!
So far four members.....
Carlos
Count me in.
I am unable to do auto or manual send. I will email my results.txt files
to Carlos on Saturday. As of this moment, one instance of DPAD has
balanced itself over all the cpus in the box with multiple threads running
on their own. This box has over 1meg of results.txt already.
The other box is about 1/2 meg results.txt. I expect it to kick itself to
take over the whole box shortly.
Stand by for a nice dump this weekend.
Chuck
PS: Let's see if the siggy works ok.
Thanks Chuck!
I though the daily dumps were yours.
Another member is helping us, who is it?

Can we make 1,000,000 Mpts per week? I think I can make by myself ~250k-300k.
Carlos
That would be nice. It's definitely within our reach if we put some serious effort here.

Thanks all for the welcome!
Thanks Merlin for jumping in and helping.
If I can find replacement fans for my CPU case (ANTEC 4U22ATXEPS-550),
I would have more processors to load up.
If anyone knows where I can find the 12VDC, 0.45A, DF1208BA-3 ('-3' is important for some reason) I would be GREATLY appreciative. I could
bring 2 Opteron 2.56Ghz machines into play.
ANTEC customer support tells me to check their 'Antec Store' page. None of
those fans push more than 40 CFM. The OEM case fans (2 in the rear, 80x80x25mm) push a LOT of air and are made by 'Top Motor'. The 'Top Motor' versions used by Antec in manufacturing are something special and *very* high volume, yet extremely quiet. The Antec fans just don't match up to the performance in any way and I can't find a source for single unit quantity purchases (end user) for Top Motor. They seem to sell in 500 unit blocks only. I want only 4 fans (I want 2 as spare)
Suggestions?
(sorry for being slightly off-topic.. Please PM/email me if anyone has a source)
Tnx,

Someone just dumped using the wrong nick. I will contact Stephen Brooks to see if he can fix this little problem.
Carlos
Thanks Merlin.
I'm sure Stephen will be able to fix it, Carlos.
I'm just trying to upload my results, but I can't download servers.csv. Does anyone else have the same problem?

I can't upload results.... sending 2.3M to Carlos to upload.
I can get updates from the site.
Tomorrow I will see if the special instructions I got for a public-IP addy
work. If so, I will try auto-update.
Recv has always been fine... sending (the windows ftp program is dumb)
has been the problem. SmartFTP works just fine, but not scriptable into
DPAD.
Ok gang, It's weekend time.

Carlos: Thank you!!!!!
Thanks all, but I'm just doing my part.
I also should have left the machine alone to do more.
My hobby is music and I am using my music machine to run DPAD.
I'm trying to get my next CD done before this coming weekend
(I get my new car in Pa and get to drive it back to Texas!!!!!),
so I am using up a bit of DPAD's cpu time.
Yes, I'm excited... It's rare to get a Euro-package volvo in the US.
I got lucky 2 of 3 times.
Anyway... I will leave DPAD alone now for a bit. It just started
a new test 'DecayRotA' (?) in addition to the 'DecayRot' ?
That make sense???
Anyway, let's see what the point-meister has to say about our points.
Also, I see the stats have a misspelling... can that be corrected &
credited to us as intended?
Later all. Have a great day. I'm back to snooze for a few hours.
(05:30 am here)
Back to snoozin'

Your welcome.Originally Posted by Chuck
I saw that too. I'm waiting for Stephen Brooks reply.
Go back to sleep!
I think we dumped less than 500,000 Mpts but we only started buffering on Tuesday/Wednesday. So it's normal.
Carlos
I just dumped mine too.....

I just use manualsend to create the .bin files, then stop it once the ftp starts as it won't work for me, then I copy the .bin files over linux and use ncftp...
Thanks Bok for the dump!
I also do manual send, but couldn't get servers.csv downloaded. It reports error all the time. I emailed my results.txt to Carlos, and he already upload them.

Well I just started 3 nodes with(( Free-DC Mercenaries[Free-DC.org] ))
with no auto send How should I set up the sending of finished W/U
Do I send to a person or to DPAD? Do I send on a certain day, time, once a week or once a month ?? Teamwork
Thank you Lauren! Glad you join us. Welcome to the fleet!
We make dumps every Saturday. Next Saturday you can do manual send to DPAD.

ARGH.... I just got my public IP addy, tried to do a send
and got a '500 Illegal port' command....the script barfed.... and I lost all the results.txt.
(I lost a full day's run on the Opterons (about 500K)).
The data is still in the 'results.dat' file, but that isn't enough
data if I understand correctly.
Anything we can do to get this thing stablized or write our own
script(s) to send?
Tnx,
C.

The results are not lost......
They go into a different type of file, dont remember what it is called. But all you have to do is rename the file back to results.txt
Just look for the longest file name with the text doc ending. That will most likely be the file to be renamed. Dont use the results.dat file, not the one.
To make sure, open the file to see if it shows the results text, will look like something like this
tantalumrodr=000;tantalumrodz=595;d10l=001;d11l=000;d12l=000;d13l=0
If that file contains it, just rename the file back to results.txt
It will resend next reconnect.......

Merlin,
Thanks for the info, but that is the file I looked for. The send process creates (as I see it) a .bin and a .txt constructed of a unique ID and the User.txt. Somehow, DPAD ftp script thought the file was sent and deleted the .txt. I managed to recover the .bin file intact. The .txt file was not intact and therefore unrecoverable. That is all I have.
Can the .bin be sent via email to Dr Brooks and converted back / used in conjunction with the results.dat (where there is data), or does someone understand the .bin format? Perhaps he has a 'decoder'?
Also, If this is just too much fuss for 18 hours of processing, please just say so and I'll drop it. I simply am asking because there has to be more of us who encounter problems and lose data in spite of the fact DPAD is a VERY stable program. It would be nice to have some tools/procedure(s) for us to use when things go bad. The only weakness I see is the FTP process. Perhaps a http 'post' process instead?
Tnx,
Chuck

I think the file would be some thing like this if you have it
20060103-051830-Chuck[free-DC.org].txt
Good luck
That's pretty close... except 'Free-DC Mercenaries[Free-DC.org]'
is in there instead. As I said, the .txt is gone, but the .bin version
(same filename) is gone.
I guess an email is appropriate at this point to see what to do,
if anything can be done, otherwise, I'll just let it go.
I *wanted* to get us over 500,000 points today... but I've let
you down.
Oh, well, perhaps tomorrow.

No need to feel that way. We are the best team by no one person but by many members working for one common goalI *wanted* to get us over 500,000 points today... but I've let
you down.
I agree with Lauren. Chuck, you did excellent job for Free-DC Mercenaries and for Free-DC in general. Thank you for that.Originally Posted by LAURENU2
