That's more less the computing power of 20x Core 2 Duo CPUs (for example 20x C2D E6420 with the E5320 Xeons :])

About 30k RAC, I guess... 8D

RAC would be more like 15k, for Seti, due to download limit. The other half of the day it would have to crunch other projects, and as they don't have optimised apps means less credit for half a day, at least.

No. It is in fact 5 different computers in one box.
On other side, limit is per CPU: 40*100: 4 000 workunits per day. Enough.

I don't think so. If BOINC recognized the cluster as one host, you would only get an allocation of 400 results per day due to the 4 CPU max limit.

For the scenario you suggest where BOINC is run on each node separately, then you could theoretically up that to 2000 results per day (5 nodes X 100 results X 4 CPU's).

However based on questions people have asked using BOINC with clusters, doing that is easier said than done.

*HEY*! Cut it out!

This thread is to get the attention of the powers that be, and to solve a specific problem with the project.

Take this argument elsewhere.

That is a relief...well sort of.

I noticed the change in the leaderboard a couple of days ago and couldn't find anywhere within the site why this has changed.

This host: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=3067426 should be in at least the top 5 with a RAC of 5,586.75 (at the time of this post) but is missing from that list.

Why do you hide your computers? Just curious...

Why are you so curious?? Just curious.

Why do you care? I like to compare computers...Oh I forgot...SETI.USA is secretive...seems we have been here before...

The memory architecture for the 5000 series chipsets has to manage ECC memory. As a result I am seeing a 10% reduction in memory speed vs a comparable Core 2 Duo motherboard. However, as of this morning my humble Core 2 Xeon is sitting at 40th on the top computers list. Another member of SETI.USA just built a quad Xeon (8 cores). His computer is 3rd in the top computers list, right behind the expensive Apples. Blackjack has not overclocked his system yet either.

Martin, I encourage you to sift through the results of the top computers and compare WU's from Core 2's vs Xeon 5XXX. Blackjack has noticed a slowdown with 8 cores though. I think this is because the 8 processes are frequently requesting OS file time. Running only 7 processes, could speed up processing by reducing memory bandwidth needs and giving the OS a cpu to manage file operations.

As far as peripherals go, I will repeat my earlier statement: "I use my system as a development box at my software firm.". I have audio and a cheapo PCIX video card plugged in. When I get bored, I play Weird Worlds. The game runs good on a Nvidia GE Force 7300 LE, however in large custom maps my video gets jumpy. The audio is sharp and clear on headphones as well. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/digital_eel/Weird_worlds/1.htm

One should never buy a Xeon 5XXX series motherboard for strictly gaming use, but it will do the job when asked.

sniped.....It's the definition of the term. I don't know how to say that any other way....

Definitions of indecent on the Web:

* not in keeping with accepted standards of what is right or proper in polite society; "was buried with indecent haste"; "indecorous behavior"; "language unbecoming to a lady"; "unseemly to use profanity"; "moved to curb their untoward ribaldry"
* offensive to good taste especially in sexual matters; "an earthy but not indecent story"; "an indecent gesture"
* offending against sexual mores in conduct or appearance; "a bathing suit considered indecent by local standards"

* A dictionary definition of Indecent#not conforming with accepted standards of behaviour or morality. #not appropriate
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indecent

Indecent and obscene are not synonymous. They cannot be interchanged without changing the entire meaning of the sentence. What's "indecent" about exposing a breast on an airplane is specifically that it's a body part which is normally covered in that particular situation. It would not be indecent in a bathroom, in your home, or on a nude beach because one would expect to see exposed body parts in those locations which would otherwise be covered in a different setting.

Nineteen states exempt breastfeeding from public indecency laws

She didn't have to do anything of the sort. I doubt all baby formula's are on the banned liquids list, AND she was offered a blanket which would have solved the problem before it ever started.

Sorry guys, I'm totally not religious, but I DO believe humans are better than all the other animals on the planet combined. In my opinion this isn't any different than monkeys flinging poo at each other or dog's sniffing each other's butts. Humans are better than that.

Hi BJ....

I called it indecent, not obscene.

There's a difference between something that's sexually offensive and exposing body parts that would otherwise be covered in a given situation.

On the otherhand, since new regs prevent anyone from bringing ANY liquids on a flight, she had 4 choices:

1) don't go
2) find alternate transport
3) let baby starve
4) go to the john or use blanket.

Hello!

Normally I have not activated JAVA... Internet Explorer'll ask me if I want to "see" some JAVA (when needed)... but no question from IE... when I go to the "stomp watch"...

For a long time, I wanted to sign up on your SETI.USA homepage...
But I didn't received the "welcome- e- mail" to complete the registration...
I have an e- mail at: ......@web.de
I saw on some homepages, that sometimes these or these e- mail will not accept... I don't know why...
Then I sent SETI.USA a message over the "homepage- comment" (feedback) but I didn't received any message from the team...

That's not very friendly... :-(


Friendly Greetings! :-)



BTW. SETI.Germany have a "counter" too, there you don't need something special... ;-)

Your team still looks bad even if I stopped posting about it. Me shutting up doesn't change anything - it just helps hide it.

...None of the other top teams, like Germany or the Czechs, have done this. Leave it to American zealots to make us all look bad. Kind of like our President.

Doh.........I didn't mean to pull the plug on your strike! Please continue the strike. While your at it some here need to learn what a strike is.

Traditionally those who go on strike have to give something up to join the strike. That usually means that you give up your pay check and put your bills and family at risk! Many here think it is fine to just set "no network access" and continue crunching for the week. What are they giving up?? That action is NOT a strike that is delaying the normal paycheck.

Anyway........please continue the strike.................if that's what you call it.
