Hey we've not done this for a while

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Ladies, Gents, Lauren....

I realised something, we've not had a Free-DC BBQ for a while, I just checked we are all out of burgers n racks of ribs...
We need to go hunt down some Cows - Dutch Power Cows to be exact so anyone any idea what projects we should look at to go get us some road kill Cow meat?

FAH? We have a very weak showing there. The DPC's are grazing and unbranded.

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Folding - hmm i'll see what I can do - logs in to my account manager and moves my machines to FAH

Or Not - dang it I used to crunch this but it's a separate project and I can't shell it under BOINC pity means I'd be running it and BOINC not sure BOINC will play nice with it either..

How about DistrRTgen? We're only about 2.5 mil. behind them and it is Nvidia friendly.

hmm and what does that matter :P

It means that there are Nvidia GPU applications available. Maybe I'll turn the boys loose on it on Monday to see what happems. Be warned though, each WU is a 4 MB download and upload.

Hmm small problem, at the moment the Work Unit generation is off due to major heat issues within the server itself and primarily the drives - they got the kit to put in, it's just finding the time to put it in.

[Bigred]

Work is available now.

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Noticed, I got me some Loaded up and ready for Cow...

[Bigred]

Light the grill. It won't take long.

[Bigred]

Time to start the roundup. There is work again.

[Bigred]

This is going to take longer than I thought. I've got massive amounts done but I am having major problems with Server Backoff. The problem is so bad that I'm returning results late and not getting credit for them.

[Bigred]

It seems like I finally got the right combination for my limited bandwidth and we are starting to round up those cows. I'm only able to use three of my GTX260s or I overload my network. It would go a lot faster if someone else applied some Nvidia power to help.

[Bigred]

GPU work is available again.

Let's see what happens when I apply a little stress.

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Yeah yes nice number been looking at my output meh... small

Everything helps. The secret is spelled GPU.

That didn't last long. It seems like somebody went and broke it.

This time we can't even blame Lauren.

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Yes still down so can't even post results got a lot to upload and they are past time too :|

[Bigred]

Cows are back on our radar. Only 4 places to go.

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

I had to drop my XP machine off this as it didn't seem to like DRT keep saying ....DRT....exe has crashed - send error report - aborted all and then told it not to get more.

[Bigred]

My problem is trying to upload results. The upload for eaxh WU is about 8mb and and the server keeps issuing a back off. Tomorrow I'm going to put all the Nvidias on for a few hours and see what happens.

[Bigred]

OK Gopher, fire up the grill.
It's taken a while but it looks like there will be steaks and burgers availble tomorrow.

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Hmm steaks - nice.... Fired up even in the snow....

[Bigred]

Roundup completed.



What's next?
