Always download the .zip (clean) version of the gadgets!

It's getting a tad toasty in here today.
I already had 2 rigs shut down to ask me to remove their cooling fans and remove the kitty fur buildup.

Here, near Ft. Lauderdale Florida, 87 Degrees & 77 Humidity, and not REALLY summer yet. A/C basically 24/7 now.

Keep side panel off desktop and always cleaning kitty fur from desktop and laptops.

My kitty's, Ralph - Trixie - Charlotte - Arthur - Smidgeon, say Hello.

hi there
my english is not good enough to explain my idea, so it's better to write it in german.
Das Credit-system kennt keine Prozessorerweiterungen wie SSE... oder AVX
Dem Creditsystem ist nicht bekannt, dass Computer mit solchen Erweiterungen schneller, und effizienter rechnen, wenn die Anwendungen sie unterstützen.
Mussten mit einem alten Prozessor zwei Berechnungen durchgeführt werden, geht das heute mit aktuellen CPUs mit einer. <
Dann noch der Unterschied 32 vs. 64 bit....
Es werden Esel mit Rennpferden verglichen
Es ist eine 'Normalisierung' nötig, die den den Geschwindigkeitsvorteil der Prozessorerweiterungen beschreibt, und die Rechenleistung entsprechend anpasst.

Wie viele flops würde die Berechnung einer WU benötigen, wenn die CPU keine 'modernen' Erweiterungen hat, und wie viele mit Erweiterungen?
Wenn das berücksichtigt wird, passen die Credits auch wieder, und alle sind glücklich!

Das creditsystem hat die Prozessorentwicklung verschlafen, und berücksichtigt sie nicht.
oder seh ich das falsch

Abgesehen davon kotzt mich die Arroganz der Verantworlichen an!
SETI@Home wäre nichts ohne seine Teilnehmer. Respekt, wurde ja schon mehrfach angesprochen, der fehlt. Seti sollte sich nicht als Gönner hinstellen, dem die User für die Arbeit danken müssen. Seti kann ohne User nix, gar nix, man sollte dort mal überlegen, wie weit man ohne die Beteiligung wäre, oder was für ein Rechenzentrum sie haben müssten um die Arbeit selbst zu erledigen.

maybe anyone translates this


'Google Translate' to English:

The credit system has no processor extensions such as SSE ... or AVX
The credit system is not aware of any such extensions with computer faster and more efficient expected if the applications they support.
Had with an old processor two calculations are performed, this is now with current CPUs with a. <
Then the difference vs. 32. 64 bit ....
There are donkeys compared to race horses
It is a 'normalization' necessary, the speed advantage of the processor extensions describes the computing power and adjusts accordingly.

How many flops would require the calculation of a WU if the CPU has no 'modern' extensions, and how many with extensions?
If that is taken into account, the credits also fit again, and everyone is happy!

The credit system has slept through the processor development, and does not consider them.
or do I see this wrong

Apart from that pisses me the arrogance of the party responsible!
SETI @ home would be nothing without its participants. Respect, was already mentioned several times, is missing. Seti should not pose as patrons, the user must be grateful for the work. Seti may no user nothing, nothing at all, you should consider how far you would be without the participation, or what they would need for a data center have to do the work yourself there once.

I have been participating in this Project (off and on) since '99.

Perhaps we are searching for the wrong data, in the wrong part of the universe.

Time will tell, but...

This is the only continuous Project involved in this very, very, very important search.

It always strikes me as kind of annoying when folks can not be bothered to string a few words into a sentence and simply post "+1". Is it laziness or an educational issue ?

Im sure there is a project that will kiss your butt with sweet credit.


This is not language suitable for a moderator.

It can be acceptable (barely, and depending on the occasion) in a flaming discussion, which this is largely not (we are just debating what is happening), by a normal poster.

Not by a moderator.
Who, by etymology, should make sure spirits do not go too high. What you wrote goes in total opposite direction.

And no, I am not pushing the red-X.

But I want this not to be forgotten too quickly.

And I am not going anywhere. I stand here, as many others do.

Sleepy


Ditto

I, and many others, understand the frustration regarding the present situation.

But please let's be civil about this.

No I speak for myself. And If you have a problem with my reposne, hit that red X and report me.


I would only ever red-X one of my own posts.

You're right seti@home has lively discussions second to none.
CreditNew is Boinc specific.
Many Setizens were with seti@home before Boinc was a twinkle in Dr Anderson's eyes.
If Dr. A. wants to use seti@home as the testbed for evolving Boinc a bit of proactive PR would go a long way.
As it stands now his approach is, to say the least, arrogant and condescending.

Arrogant and condescending...

That of course is the real problem.

No response of what happened and why from Dr. A.

No response if this the 'New Normal' from Dr. A.

No response...

Many contributor's to Seti@Home have spent money upgrading their equipment for this project, not to mention electrical costs. Just common decency, and ethics, requires a response. Then we can have a intelligent discussion regarding this.

Unfortunately, in my experience and history shows: An arrogant and condescending attitude, by many intelligent persons towards others.

This is what may be happening now. So... Let's continue crunching and hope those who made these decisions begin to show us a little respect.

My RAC has plunged 25%, from 139K to 104K, in less than a week and it is still dropping . . . and with that observation I say "goodbye" to SETI crunching and munching.

Good luck to all of you and solong!

Maybe you need another beer!

Before 430K, now 333K and sinking... but i will remain crunching until the last beer!


Keep well stocked!!! :)

Posted 16 days ago by Profile CLYDE
I have been crunching sine 1999 have a rac of 35,000 and a credit of 25 million and that is with one cruncher so I crunch I use my 4 tons of ac to my domicle cool. So it is possible to crunch in the summer time I do not sacriface my laundry or cooking or watching tv in the summer so not my cruncher either.


I guess all of my appliances are more energy efficient than yours...My cruncher gives off way more heat than my t.v.'s, etc, etc.


My 60" HD Plasma TV emits a great amount of heat, but a great picture.

Than you CLYDE
Post me screenshot, please

For all testers - I need few screenshots, strongly need in case bag


DONE!!!

RE: v9.00

Running Seti v7 (1 NVIDIA GTX 650 GPU)

Running Einstein (i5 CPU)

Windows 7 64bit

Using Advanced calculation method.

Not using graphs (Space limitations)

No problems, and updates to Progress Bars and numbers MUCH faster than previous versions of BOINC Monitor!

1) All the Stock v7 GPU apps are Lunatics apps now!


now everybody runs optimized apps, and the credit calculation still based on the old standard 'SETI@home Enhanced' app runtimes / performance.
credits/h go down 75%
lol, im not sure to waste more energy and money with this project. plan was to reach 10,000,000. credits, but not with this conditions.


What is the point in reaching 10 million credits? Do you expect to get a free car then?
Why not just doing it for the sake of science (like most people here do)?


Well... I reached 10,000,000! Where is my car?

The science is now getting better with V7. Here's to Science - not numbers!

Left two laptops on the patio (They were on) and got hit with a terrible Florida thunder storm. Both DOA!

Buying two replacements (Tower still good - indoors of course)

Wife very mad!!!

SORRY - SORRY - SORRY :(

Has anyone tried disabling TCP fix after relocation of servers?

Yes... I disabled the TCP fix after the relocation of the servers.

Downloads are now extremely fast, so maybe there is no need for this "fix".

Running Win7 on all computers.

As Richard Haselgrove said:

"And to repeat, yet again - this thread is not about speed, it's simply about reliability. The idea is to get your downloads with no http errors, no backoffs."

And as I say:

So far, so good.

But...

Let's see what happens Tuesday!
