DC Vault 2

Sounds good to me, it will be a couple days before the PSP tasks finsh on the G34's I will switch them to pogs then. :)
 
Count me in with Asteroids. My 780ti loves this project but I had to dial the clock speed back due to the temps running around 80 degrees C. :eek:
 
Ladies and gentlemen, be advised that there are still download errors with Asteroids and computation on Maxwell is hit or miss. I have had a few early computation errors on the 750Ti's, but that may be a fluke as things are smooth so far.
 
Seen a few download errors on my GTX 460 system too, I think only 2 so far with 12 completed so it doesn't seem too bad.
 
Excellent, then it seems that the issues of Asteroids past have been mostly fixed. I remember it being much worse than it is now.

We are currently 80th in RAC for Asteroids and rising quickly, good job everyone!
 
SETI Germany looks to be hammering Majestic-12 right now. They jumped two spots. That puts them at 6th and we are in 4th. I haven't ran Majestic-12 yet, but may when I'm done playing with GIMPS and SOB. Perhaps another team member could do a Guide for setting up the client?

Current members running M12 and past members are found here: http://www.majestic12.co.uk/projects/dsearch/teaminfo.php?id=147

My WCG team mysteriously changed to Ripple Labs today after the AM statistics update. I changed it back when I noticed the discrepancy. Has anyone had this happen to them? It seems strange my team would change by itself, especially to Ripple Labs.
 
Not I...Mine still says HardOCP. That is kinda weird. Were you checking their stats or one of their team mates lately?
 
Thanks for the heads up. In that thread apparently another DC'er from a different team got changed too. This would be a good time for people to double check their accounts and to make sure they are using strong passwords.
 
Noob question, but if I change my password on a project, will all clients already connected to that project continue to work, or will they require the new password? Haven't changed my BOINC password before so it's probably about time I stepped it up.
 
I don't think it effect the BOINC clients because I believe they are actually using the account key or the weak account key. I could attach machines to your account without your password by using the weak account key. So, I think you are fine.
 
My WCG team switched to Ripple Labs again today. Several people have reported the same issue in the WCG forum. I'm going to change my password after my current work is finished just to be safe.
 
Does it matter that you have work running? I didn't think the password tied anything to your client rather than your account key. I wouldn't wait and give them time to further mess with your account...
 
I changed my password and my clients are sending/receiving work fine. I switched my team back earlier this afternoon. I think I'm OK now.
 
I hope this gets straightened out soon. I would hate for some of the recent converts to experience something like this right off the bat...
 
WCG needs to do something about it quick or they may get a bad rep in the DC community. That is what I would want to do is run my rigs so somebody else would want to hack my account and profit from my expense.

Agreed :)
 
jhindo posted this today

We have found that a few of our members have unexpectedly had their team choice changed to the "Ripple Labs" team. After investigating this, we can confirm that there was no break-in to World Community Grid and users' devices were in no way compromised.

We have identified a computer that was trying combinations of user names and common passwords against our website in an attempt to find combinations that worked. This activity began on March 11, 2014 and successfully guessed the passwords of a few of our volunteers. It appears that users whose passwords were guessed had their account's team choice changed to the "Ripple Labs" team but were otherwise left unmodified. Within 36 hours of the attack, this computer was blocked. We have been monitoring our systems closely for similar attempts. We will notify all members who joined the Ripple Lab team since this began and ask them to confirm their intention to be on that team.

We take security very seriously and follow industry best practices to best protect our users. We will continue to use best practices to block such password-guessing attempts. We will also conduct a complete review of other aspects of account and password management and determine what, if any, additional changes should be made there.

We are sorry to see that this happened to a few of our members. To avoid this kind of problem in the future, we strongly advise all users to adopt the best practice of selecting passwords that are not trivial or common. Avoid using short passwords and those containing simple words, obvious number, letter or keyboard sequences. You can see examples of weak passwords that should be avoided here: http://boingboing.net/2013/12/07/worst-passwords.html. We also advise that you avoid using the same password across multiple sites.

Asteroids is down for maintenance it seems. As always.
 
Some of the Commandos have decided to look into Majestic-12 again. We only had 2 members really active over there prior. CaptainUnlikely is testing it on the server that he rents out and will hopefully have some numbers for us soon as well as possibly a few guides. I installed it and let it run for a while. I had my speeds cranked way down and had the compression set for maximum with the internal compression utility to cut down on bandwidth usage.

My stats were:

Runtime: 15 hours 16 mins 28 sec
URL's: 78,908
MB's transferred: 2,363

I will add that some providers will block the crawling behavior, so some people may not be able to run it. I highly recommend only running the program if you have unlimited data (which my home does not) or that you watch it's usage very closely because it will eat it up.

My internet provider was Mediacom in case anyone wants to reference for success or fail experiences.
 
unzip to home, and copy to pogs project directory while renaming the file to overwrite theirs.
On my system the boinc client and project directory is ....

sudo cp ~/fit_sed_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu_340_intel /var/lib/boinc-client/projects/pogs.theskynet.org_pogs/fit_sed_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu_340

and then the next wu that starts will copy it into the slot and run the new version...
If you restart the boinc client it will overwrite the file unless you add an app_info.xml in the project directory also...

OK thanks I will give it a try :)
 
Well...I'm running it over my cell phones tethered connection and it works great until the shit Sprint network loses data connection. Then my error rate soars a bit. So, as long as my reception is good, it turns out ok. :D I have Straight Talk service but my phone rides the Sprint towers. :(
 
Skynet Pogs has stated no Custom Clients and will release a new version After Easter 2014...

It worked on 12.04 64bit, nice job by the way quite the speed up especiall on Intel early results are
980X 200% gain
Xeon E-5 4650 200% gain
Opteron 61xx 15% gain

While these are early results it is looking pretty good. :)
 
Hmm, I would have expected more like 120% gain on the Opteron...
My wu's when from 13,141s to 6,192s with credit of 212..
 
There may be a bug in the implantation on the AMD MP rigs, I have to reboot after overwriting or every thing will error out, I have a feeling it is not implementing correctly because if I overwrite the file a second time it will start erroring again when it starts a new WU.

Wonderful numbers! Either way, any increase is welcomed. Have you heard anything from the project themselves? Do they plan on including you're new optimized version in the app itself? And if it hasn't been said before, thank you for putting the work into this, this is a really nice surprise. Thanks for your contributions!
 
A little comparison of the Intel 4650's :)
Good Job

Most of the optimizations is being done by the intel fortran compiler (60%gain on the old code) and combo of my changes then increased it to 220% gain. But they would have get the proper license for the intel compiler, (it is free on linux and personal, non-commercial/non-academic use)

When I tried the changes on the gfortran compiler it was only a 20% gain... so next would be to change the code more so gfortran optimizes similar to the intel version. I have been playing with the c++ port for openCL version instead...

I am no 100% sure it is working on the AMD G34 rigs when I look back through the history it is hard to tell. But it kicks butt on the Intel rigs. ;)

Anyway it looks like we gained 2 spots today in pogs and we should pass the cows tomorow. :)

Also it looks like we took 5th place in the Primegrid challange :cool:
