21) Message boards : Number crunching : Memory Upgrade (Message 1361541)
Posted 22 days ago by Profile HAL9000
HAL9000 - I like the 2nd suggestion. Need to putting any spare nickels & dime into the kitty.

http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-product-family/dominator/dominator-gt-1-5v-8gb-ddr3-memory-kit-with-dhx-pro-connector-and-airflow-2-fan-cmt8gx3m2b2133c9.html

Jravin -- I always suspend GPU processing when watching DVDs or movies on line because I get errors if I don't. HATE ERRORS.

That is a dual channel kit so if you were wanting to go to 12GB for both machines that would be $435 for 3 kits vs $330 for 2 of the triple channel kits. Using their MSRP pricing.
You could just get 2 of the 8GB kits and run dual channel. Then later get a 3rd to go back to triple channel and build them out to 12GB.

couldn't someone just put an extra large number in there and use that to get more ap work (i know the 100wu per physical cpu will apply)

You can put whatever you want in there. However you may run into -177 errors initially. After a while the your DCF may be adjusted to correct for the value, or if also doing CPU tasks it will bounce around all over the place.
In the end a drastically off number is a disadvantage for you.

By "upgrade" are you intending to increase the amount of RAM, get faster ram and try to push it past 1600, or possibly both?


All three if possible, but I'm kind of squeamish about o/c'ing./ But to use 3-channel on this board, I think I'm limited to 3 sticks.

With having only 4 slots it looks that way. The EXtreme Memory Profile you you are using now is sort of overclocking, but within the specs the memory manufacture deemed to be OK.

If you are a fan of your current Corsair memory.
They do have a 12GB kit that looks to be a direct upgrade.

If you wanted to try faster seeds you could get 3 dual channels kits for your two machines. Something like these kits may be worth considering.

Since it has been about 48 hours after it was renewed I would expect most DNS servers have picked the domain back up by now.

the task creation rate seems to have leveled out and looks to be running a bit more steady.

With the number of ready to send having reached around 300k the creation might go back to the high/low on/off pattern. Which is apparently what they are expected to do.

With the shorties I am surprised there was a steady ~200Mb download rate during the outage.
28) Message boards : Number crunching : GPU on MB + GPU discrete in PCI Express x16 slot (Message 1360643)
Posted 24 days ago by Profile HAL9000
The HD 3000 series is not OpenCL capable, but the hybrid AP app could be used with it. If you really wanted to use it.
However IIRC there is not currently a way to tell BOINC to only run certain apps on specific GPU's. It would require running 2 instances of BOINC. Your current one and a 2nd configured only to use the HD 3300 & the hybrid application.

Posted 25 days ago by Profile HAL9000
I think it was Eric who said we should have about 5 times the bandwidth & that it is really only limited by the speed of the back-end hardware now. I am sure the servers are probably starting to sweat about now if that is the case.
30) Message boards : Number crunching : Total Results (Message 1360402)
Posted 25 days ago by Profile HAL9000
I've been in communications with an Administrator at Free-DC. I ask if it would be possible to include the Total Results like they do the Total Credit in there webpages,
example http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?p...=eah&team=6105.

I was informed that that information was not included in the Projects exported files. He also agreed that such a modification to the exported files would be the authority of BOINC.

When I told him that data such as Total Results would be a useful tool in encouraging new members to join a crunching recruitment effort. That while there are many who are encouraged by credits/points, there are some who value results as a more encouraging indicator of work accomplished. His opinion was that such an inclusion of data should not be that difficult to implement.

Since WCG provides that info for its team members, why not include it for other Project's data.
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/te...rdsPerPage=100

I am posting this thread to recruit support for this concept. If enough Projects and project teams support this initiative, perhaps BOINC can be persuaded to implement this modification.

Respectively,

Your links are truncated & don't go anywhere.

When BOINC was being alpha tested before SETI@Home switched to it I had asked something along the lines of this. The response was something along the lines of "BOINC will keep track of actual work preformed in cobblestones instead of total results".
I see the cobblestones/credit as an inconsistent measure and would have simply preferred the totals of tasks preformed. Perhaps separated into groups by AR or something along those lines.

PrimeGrid does give a count of the number of tasks run. However, I don't think the stats sites get that data in the export.
31) Message boards : Number crunching : Cloned HD , Should it be same size used space? (Message 1360309)
Posted 25 days ago by Profile HAL9000
Look at it in Disk Manager to see if there is any unsed space, hidden partition etc. Also the free space will change depending on the size of the swap file etc.



there is a 100 meg sys part , the swap file should be the same size on a cloned hd shouldn't it ?

Depending on the software you used it might be smart enough to not copy temp directory information. Which can often be a large amount of data.

You could use software to compare the two drives to see the difference, or check each root folder to see if you can find a directory with a large discrepancy.

There were 2 or 3 other threads about 3 weeks ago, right after the move, with the new address. I couldn't find them to link to. So I just posted the address. I have stickies disabled. So one of them might be at the top for most people.

34) Message boards : Number crunching : Java causeing problems (Message 1359428)
Posted 27 days ago by Profile HAL9000
the update tried to install google chrome toolbar I think and I said no I don't use chrome it's caused problems and I wish they would stop doing that shit if I what it i'll freaking download it

Java updates are notorious for trying to install the Ask toolbar -- you have to remember to uncheck it (I wish it were illegal to have things like that selected by default!) every time you do an update. ...and seeing how often they are patching Java lately, and how many machines I ride herd over, I need to do it just about every freaking day!

I agree.
Wish that 'pushing' unwanted programs with somewhat necessary ones was illegal.
Crap should be 'opt-in' only.
Not 'ooops mode' or opt-out.

There was a time they would not give you an option to uncheck things like that, but laws were passed requiring an option to uncheck certain things.

I've contacted Toby a second time via a different email address, and got a response:

Well I did contact the domain owner earlier. Unfortunately the provider he is going through doesn't seem to have an automated way of doing things and he was unable to talk to anyone on the phone. So it looks like things might be down until Monday :(

Claggy

They have until May 27 before it gets released by tucows. I'm sure it can be sorted by then.
36) Message boards : Number crunching : Open beta for OpenCL AstroPulse for Intel GPUs started (Message 1359426)
Posted 27 days ago by Profile HAL9000
Can anyone provide an alternate download for this Intel GPU package ? The domain appears to have expired, so the URLs for it no longer work.

See this thread. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=71428
37) Message boards : Number crunching : Easy way to transfer tasks? (Message 1359051)
Posted 28 days ago by Profile HAL9000
There is no way to move tasks from one host/client to another.

The easiest way is to merge hosts. Then the client on the new system will download the tasks assigned to it as reseeds.

My host give me unlimited storage & bandwidth. So if the lunatics want a backup site I can setup like http://lunatics.hal6000.com or something of that nature. If desired PM me and I can setup some users for ftp.

Mark.

We all know how much you love and all you done for the success of this project.

Go kitties!

Well, it's all legend now...LOL.
Some do not appreciate it when I make some grandiose statements.
But when I do, I have been there, and done that.

I do not posture much. When I say I have been there and done that, I have done it.

Been there, done that, still saving up for the toaster... :D

The 2014 expiration date was throwing me off for a bit. Looking up the info on tucows. It is their policy to set set the expiration date out 1 year when it expires and then give 40 days to renew it. After 40 days they nuke it.
