77 Days until....

TOP BABY! #1 We got this shit.

 

[RedShred]

Them Roo's will be back in force when their climate cools. we gotta get [H]ard and stay [H]ard to keep that ducky.... if they let us take it.

I did notice our cpu count has been going up lately, and somebody just posted asking how to hook up 40+ GHz of boxen so they can all fold,

Things is looking up,

 

[exharrison]

Keep in mind that toasty has several computers running, I believe about 250 GHz, that are only folding until the 3rd. He may not be able to keep those folding after that. That means that we need to be more hardcore so that we can compensate for it.

 

[rayman2k2]

you think we can be the first to 100 mil?


i remember when we hit 2mil, what a landmark...

 

[SmokeRngs]

I'm hoping to keep the extra 2 Ghz I recently borged going. It looks like I probably will too. At least until his next re-install. Then I'll probably just have to reinstall it after he's done. I'm also looking to add about 3.5-4 Ghz within a couple of months. If a couple other things go right, I might be able to add another Ghz or two in the same time period. I know it's not much, but it will help in the long run. Plus, mine shouldn't get shut down or underclocked when things start to heat up again.

Got a vapo-chill lightspeed ready to go in my encoding/folding box this week, but it can't make up for toasty's performance. Having one insanely powerful box, won't cut it. Everything available to me is folding in my name. In 24 Hrs. we have reduced the projected overtake date by a week. I have 3 big tinkers, and 2 monster Gromacs running. We have to learn how to borg enterprise level systems. OK, so I need to learn. Hopefully one of my teamates has found a simple, and I do mean simple, method to distribute 100+ F@H packets. Across a secure network., let me know. OK, so I realize there are many borg threads available here. Please pop in with a few links. Toasty is probly a good source of info, but in 6 days I have access to a system of over 18,000 cpu's. How do I borg 'em?

Um... you should have said something sooner. I'm sure we could have gotten a horde to show up and help you borg them all by hand if need be. It would be work some time off work to do this.

DAMN!!! That's awesome if you could do that.

D00D!!!

Okay, here's my suggestion. I'm guessing you've got windows on these? Too bad. I'd set up a caching proxy (squid for win32?) so you don't swamp your connection trying to get the cores, and then set up the clients to talk thru the proxy. That's one of the things that I'm putting in the fold-server project. If you need help with squid-win32, please PM me, I'll send you my config file and help you get it working.

They have to stay in whatever OS is on them, right? Otherwise, try Overclockix or my server-install CD.... that'd be really easy.

Ask Toasty as to how to actually borg them. Not a windows admin here.
No [H] tags because in o[h]io.

WOW! 18,000???!!! Yep, email me at toasty@drydenlan.com for the scripts I used to Borg 100+ systems in minutes......I got them a few years back from some forum.

I now understand why so many folks have problems getting their schools, companies, and local governments involved in this effort. It's not the computer related worries, but the darned red tape. Had to see the head of the tech department this morning, to get a waiver for some classes. Tested past all technical pre-reqs, and had to get approval. She put me in touch with Sys. Admin cheif. For half an hour, I was treated to a painfully detailed assessment of the hoops that must be negotiated to mass deploy anything. The pinheads at the state board of education, refused to allow the state supported schools to move away from IE." We paid for the MS liscenses, by gosh we're using the browser that came with it." I found a sympathetic ear to our cause, in fact, he'd actually seen Dr. Pande's lecture video.

As I slid farther down the chair, he explained, that he had already attempted to get a team for the school. In no uncertain terms he'd been advised that his job was in the balance, if even a single instance of any distributed computing program were detected in the network. He's not even allowed to suggest it to any of the students.

Is this level of violent opposition normal?

Every single seat, in every single classroom has a computer. They are all shut down for Christmas break. I fealt like an Ethiopian, invited to watch a buffet.

It was suggested, that I get my school supplied website up, and attempt to recruit from the student populace. Become active on the school community bulletin boards. And do my best to raise awareness in Folding. Mass Deployment is not an option here, but the students own more computers, than the school does. Time to do it the hard way, one computer at a time.

 

[rogue_jedi]

that seems to be a common response by large organizations. unfortunately, due to the current situation where someone would sue their mother for a buck, i don't know that i blame them. being a public institution, supporting one distributed computing project would be assumed to be showing favor to said DC project, or downplaying the others, and therefore the significance of them, and possibly the signifigance of what they are trying to find. so doing that would not be good for them. so they could get sued by any number of people for supporting a DC project by running it, so they play it safe by not running any. so they all lose.
