Greetings, crunchers, folders and point chasing loonies the lot of you. :D I'm not dead, just got... bored? Distracted? Being WFH for nearly three years certainly played a part in the whole thing. Think most of my boxes were doing WCG and, when that stopped putting out WUs for however long...

As the subject says. I've tried all sorts of ways that supposedly allows this to happen; but wind up with a red screen (red text, black background) after switching boot type to UEFI. [just occurred to me that this red screen could be due to an add-in video card; going to remove and try again.]...

One perk to my job is having some pretty powerful systems that come into my possession. This just came in for a certain project and figured I'd have some fun putting it through some tests and such before converting it into its real role next week. We'll start off with what most people would...

Sometimes I really do get some amazing toys to play with. :cool: Try not to short out your keyboards with drool and enjoy. :D (y)

OK, I have this 4P 8160 rig "Dream Killer" online, and used Manjaro (based on Arch), as it's what I've been happy with thus far; but it's only showing 128 of 192 threads/cores/whatever. Now maybe they're all really there, and it's just a bug, but before I leave this thing crunching away at NF...

Has anyone done this successfully and received proper credit, etc? Let's say I have a box that's seriously overloaded with WUs that might not get done in time; but have another box with zero WUs for said project. Is there some way I can shuffle WUs around to balance things out? Suspect it'll...

I'm a very angry geek right now. Those five systems I stayed until ~10PM on Friday getting online have been doing piss all. Have the preferences setup setup to never stop working like always; but for some reason they've been sitting idle pretty much all weekend. I've never, and I mean never...

Just a few 2P Gold and Silvers. Guess I'll have to do some stress testing, eh? :sneaky: ;) :whistle:

Looks like I might be going to Seoul for a week; but have just finished updating the bulk of my systems to stash 7+3 days. Barring any unexpected reboots (or bad cables, lol!), the systems should continue to chug along even if the proxy crashes. Will keep an eye on things the best I can! :)

Silly as this may sound, I actually feel kind of bad about our taking away the #1 spot in D@H from South Perth Hospital; but done is done and we're now #1. :p Still have a *large* number of WUs awaiting validation, so the gap should still grow by quite a bit over the coming weeks. Took a...

Figured I'd share here vs. cluttering up Skillz thread. *lol* Not sure when I started in on this project again, but pretty sure it was Monday night or Tuesday morning as I didn't bother to immediately detach from Rosetta after the sprint was over. None the less, here's my report thus far...

Looks the like Czech team blew their vaunted wad yesterday. :p Are we trying to take them down, now that the other projects don't see to have crap for WUs? Or something else? Realize I have a few more systems I could bring online; but not sure if we can catch them or not.

I've been at this way too long. It's late, I'm tired and haven't eaten in 11 hours. I've tried everything I can think of to get B+VB working nicely on that E7 box with Server 2012 R2. Nothing works. Cosmo will boot the VM and then sit at a line about DHCP. Funny thing is one VM actually did...

Figured I'd share, since I had to set my computers to private due to a certain box. Just realized there's one more lower-end 4P Xeon I can bring online; but this is close enough. :) The higher scoring boxes were brought online 12MAY @ ~1500PST. All other boxes, including all Linux systems...

I've never used the BOINC + VB client before. For whatever reason I thought it wasn't needed; but the more accurate explanation is that I didn't understand why that option was there. Just installed BOINC+VB on my home computer (E5-2596v2 w/ 32GB RAM, 1070GTX, etc) to try and help with LHC at...

OK, seriously. A couple of my 2P Haswell systems pn the PG challenge are only running on two cores at 10-16%. Have everything configured to run at 100% and the boxes are completely dedicated to running PG at this time. Only thing I did differently was to turn off hyperthreading. Otherwise...

Am sure this is old news to some, but I've never seen negative credits before. We're not talking a few either... rather just over 842K worth. Ouch. :( What gives?

This is really the only subforum on [H] that I participate in and, while I do have access to General Mayhem, I've decided to share this here as most of you "know" me. One week ago, on Tuesday October 6th at approximately 5PM, our little boy Damon died suddenly. He was only two years old...

So I have this for a very, VERY short amount of time. It's. Well. Let's just say it's the most expensive box I've ever had in my lab. Take a gander at those specs! :cool: However the damn thing refuses to stay solid at 100%. It'll hangout there for a while, then drop down to...

Is this still the best way to make a 2P/4P Ubuntu box scream along with BOINC? http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1040429103&postcount=9 Just went through a bit of a disaster trying to upgrade the Ubuntu provided client to the latest one from Berkeley.. that didn't go so well. :p Was...

Until the 10TB drives come along this is the fastest way to 120TB. :p To be fair eleven of them are 4Kn drives and four are AF (different use cases) but all are SAS12. Some time back I posted four of these; but didn't have the hardware to test. Now have 15 of them and will actually have...

Sorry if this comes across a little... out of it... I am damn near asleep at the keyboard and doing this before I forget. At work we're being tasked more and more often with groups needing tons of storage, but we're seriously limited by rack space. Budget? Not so limited. We can justify a...

Sorry if this is a "duh" type question, but I'm not seeing an obvious answer! :) Under "Proth Prime Search (PPS, PPSE & PPS-Mega) tasks" it reports that one prime has been found. Obviously I'm curious as to what that is; not that a non-math person like me will be able to make much sense of...

How about 4TB or 8TB of SSD goodness? Seeing how 8TB Enterprise class SAS12 HDDs cost ~$1,200 each I dread hearing what these SSDs cost! :eek: PDF Linkage... http://www.foremay.net/pr/4tb-ssd-hard-drive-8tb-ssd-drvies-4tb-solid-state-drive-8tb-ssd-foremay-sc199-ec188.pdf

*edit* It's all me it seems. */edit* Did you guys seriously disable Right-Click functionality? :confused: Use it all the time for going back in my browser (habit) and just noticed it's not working here.

These are the first four of quite a few forthcoming 8TB Hitachi "Helium" 12Gb SAS drives. Think they'd solve my home storage needs quite nicely! ;) They'll be connected to a new 8-series Adaptec; will be interesting to see how they perform.

I've researched this a little; but in all honesty every time I start I get pulled off onto something else and then I'll forget about it for days. Am hoping someone here will go "AH!" and spare this poor bastard some frustration. ;) It seems like a straight problem... but don't they all...

We've been potentially asked to provide network fail over capabilities on some of our legacy systems; however free slots are at a premium. Is it possible to team/group/whatever-the-hell-you-call-it a port on an onboard NIC + an add-on NIC? Am guessing that if this IS possible that they'd both...

Originally saw on SD, but know that not everyone looks there. Levi's usually tend to be over priced IMHO; but you can get three pairs of most jeans for under $80 shipped... not too shabby. www.levi.com 12-5pm EST, use code FLASH40 at checkout Seems they also have some sale items too and...

Well, kind of... Pay what you want for eight pre-defined titles, "above average" for 20 pre-defined titles, or $34.99 for all 32 games. Of course most of the ones I'd want are in the $34.99 column. ;) (Man... Die By The Sword... haven't thought of that game in ages!)

OK, so I've asked something similar before, but that was more along the lines of what used to be possible "back in the day" with older versions of FAH; so meaning just having a bunch of computers share the load over ethernet. So much for that idea. Now I've learned that one of the other...

For those that are interested / curious ... E5-2680 x2 / 8101 TPF = 17m (just under) E5-4650 x4 / 8101 TPF = ~9m50s Systems are running with all cores active. Am going to try and get the assignment servers to dole out some 690x WU's as I'm curious to see what the results are. IIRC...

With the help of one of our esteemed "elders" here, I have finally... at LONG LAST... been able to receive a 8101 WU. This R820 4P system just turned in a TPF of 10m8s - that any good? :) Makes me sad knowing this 4P won't be with me for much longer. :( My esteemed benefactor can reveal...

Seriously though! :p Trying to get some "quality' work done with this dual E5-2680 R720 before I have to give it back (hoping to get a little quality time with our R820 with quad E5-4650's over the weekend and until they pry it out of my grubby mitts), but right now I can't get anything...

*edit* Turns out I am a confused idiot at times, as pointed out below. Leaving my original post intact; but nothing to see here! Move along now. ;) */edit* So I may have one of these Intel X5687 processors with my name on it; but trying to decide if it's worth it or not. Can find desktop class...

It's a lot easier to grab some random folding time during downtime on the various engineering servers I support if they stay on OpenSUSE 11.x than going through the trouble to install Ubuntu. The program seems to run well enough, but despite setting the flags correctly this time (hey, I learn!)...

Yes, yes, I know! Use Linux! With that out of the way. :) At the moment I'm compelled to have Windows on these servers, so thought while they aren't being used over the weekend I'd have them fold. Ah, now I can feel something else coming on... "Use vbox!" Well, I tried that a while back...

So this system has been running great for the last five days or so. Checked it this morning and see the following error. Tried the obvious stuff first - delete queue.dat and work dir, no good. Delete those + machinespecific.dat, no good. All of the above + delete core + uninstall kraken = no...

Seems to be having lots of problems lately. Is their server under powered / running out of space / etc? Never know if grateful people (which should be most of us) might have extra hardware lying around that would make their system(s) work better and allow us to get our fix / badges / etc with...

Just curious since, if there's a database for such things, I don't know about it. :) So once I pulled my head out of my ass and configured my Ubuntu client properly (D'Oh!) this 4P system grabbed a 6900 bigadv WU (was hoping for something more exotic) and is going at said 4m30 TPF. Have a...
