Sometimes I just love the way that BOINC treats us all equally, and couldn't care less who does what.

Look at WU 710018053.

Todd Hebert has 12 cores, 4 GTX 295, and 14,095 tasks.
MJS has 12 cores, 4 GTX 580, and 7,117 tasks.

And they can't get an answer between them.....

So my mother's 10-year-old first generation P4 gets to decide.....

Sorry, guys, you're just going to have to wait ;-)

Well, at least they will get a quality result. Thats just funny!

I agree! My crystal ball is a bit dusty, but seems to be suggesting it'll come down on the side of MJS's 580s. [Edit: eventually :P]

I agree too,

Yes, Todd seems to be on a one-man mission to keep us warm during the drought.

Work is still flowing at Beta, so the drought is only affecting Seti Main,

And it's still flowing at AQUA and Einstein (and presumably other projects that the P4 isn't attached to) - so don't expect that result back in a mere 10 hours..... :-)

Given his RAC and the amount of data he is processing, I don't think his invalids are excessive. He may have a GPU core running a bit on the ragged edge...
I don't show any invalids since December in my results currently.

That is great. An old P4 is going to be the judge and jury on this one:)
kind of why I havent taken mine off line. They may be slow and power hungry. But man they just keep on doing excellent work. Ill have to see if I can find the last time mine errored out.

And did you see the last one mum did? 691634173? An old vlar that had been hanging round since January, only just timed out? Us old time tortoises have our uses, cleaning up the droppings from the hares as they rush past!

As some of you may know, I am still running a dual P3 server and a dual Prestonia (P4) based server. Both are productive across different projects, even if a little slow.

It's interesting being at the balance-of-power point!

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Terrific John!

I just unleashed an old HP laptop on SETI a few days ago. It's a Pii 300MHz. It should finish its 1st mb task in about 2 more weeks. There's no temp monitoring at all, so I'm just running the cpu at 50% usage.

After this mb finishes, I'll install the Lunatics app and let'er rip!

You've all been warned! LOL

Until a few months ago I was running a Compaq Proliant server with 3 400MHz/1MB PII Xeons. A 10 day cache on that meant it had 6-8 tasks at a time.

Maybe it's possible to let run HWMonitor to measure the temps?


The Lunatics Installer have no MMX opt. MB app. You have to do it alone.

Found this WU,also an strange result outcome. (The rig below is my Q6600+GTX470)
And run 2 at a time on BOINC 6.10.56 (32BIT), SSSE3x optimized CPU + Anonymus GPU LUNATICs V0.37 Installer.

[ADDED]
Got 2 PII's , a COMPAQ and TULIP(Now failliet), maybe good in winter time, but
they're terrible about efficiency.........
Maybe a PCI or AGP graphics card, or do they only have ISA slots, don't know,
have to take a look at them.

I wonder why the 560i made a mistake, clock too high? Don't know....
(Had this on longrun 8-12h GPUgrid, above 1.6GHz (480), it started to make errors, nothing to do with heat, anyway.)
Not on SETI WU's. Clock can be set at 1.8GHz, no problems, with MB.

And here a 1GFLOP (standard)PENTIUM 4 CPU.

I used to use Motherboard Monitor for years, but the last new version, 5.3.7.0, was done in 2004. The newest 1.17 HWMonitor doesn't work on some older hardware. An older version such as 1.15 is needed. Sometimes 1.16 will work if you are lucky.

I PM'ed Todd a while back about one of his machines that was kicking out about 90% errors. He said he'd have a look at it. I hope its not the same one.

Sutaru & HAL9000 - Thanks for your suggestions! I tried versions 1.09, 1.15 and 1.17 with no success. No voltages, no fans, nothing.

I just ran the laptop at 100% for a few minutes to see if a fan would kick on, but not even that happened (at least, I didn't hear anything!)

So, it's back to 50%, and after a few wu's have completed I'll probably just pack it up for another 10 years or so. It will be fun to see how it compares years from now when a laptop or desktop pc is unheard of, and a "cell phone" is a supercomputer by today's standards.

It might be working fine. My 6 year old 1.5GHz Pentium M notebook would have to do work for around an hour before the fan actually kicked on. I know Motherboard monitor work on my 1GHZ PIII Dell I had, but with that vintage notebook maybe there are no sensors for software to read. Anything displayed in the BIOS?

No readings anywhere. BUT, (it's a Phoenix BIOS) under "Power Management (APM)", the mode option was set to customized and I changed it to Full Power.
