ohhhh no (runs and hides) :eek:

i bet it just got late comming to HF,thats all


No, Krazy. I've been around long enough not to fall for that one (I also don't use Hard Folding site, **Gasp**). It is not showing up on the Stanford site. Obviously Stanford is having some points issue. Not the first time. All the team's are having serious dips in their numbers for yesterday. The good news is that this usually gets fixed within a few days to a couple of months.

HardOCP's numbers were down 180k points yesterday (36%) and OCAUs were down 168k (33%).

Stats server maintenance

Vijay Pande said:
We are working on updating the stats server for v6. We will need to take the web interface to the stats down for several days. We will therefore not do this all at once, but starting Monday, we will have the stats update down a bit so our update can catch up. The actual stats will be updating, just the web interface for people to check their stats will be down.

Chelsea,

Thanks for the update. Glad to see you are still tracking Stanford's site and keeping tabs here at the Hard Forums.


It looks like we have some Elephant Dumps to look forward to in the next week or so.
 
ChelseaOilman - blast from the past!

I see that you are back reading the forums. So, when do you get the farm going again to do your next 2M? ;)

 
$4,800 barebones unfortunately. 16 cores though......yummy!

http://www.eastluna.com/hardware/details.php?id=1470

+$2920 for 8 Opteron 265
+$1,440 for 16 sticks of 512MB ECC Memory
+$200 for HDDs
+OS

$9,360 for 16 cores of folding..... or 8x Opty 165 systems for approximately $4,000..... I like it though.

Around 2,500 PPD
 
The prices are a little high right now but I think that's partly because it just came out and supply seems to be very limited. I would be more interested in the Intel version when it comes out later this year. Some LV Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Xeons is more what I would be interested in.

Yeah,

I'm probably getting a E6600 or 3 and retiring my Athlon XPs. I figure I can retire about 3 for every 1 Core 2 Duo I buy. Should save me about 150-200 watts per E6600. That's $20 off my Power bill per month per E6600
 
I'm seeing the points issue your talking about. sometimes Standford is updating almost immediately but HF isn't getting it for almost 12 hours..

Things seem to be sorting themselves out, bit by bit, maybe.






 
I noticed this going on yesterday. Maybe they started something early over the weekend.

 
i wonder if that's what killed my service on my and my dad's ipcop machines. i've got a thred up asking if other saw it, then i remembered seeing this thread earlier.... possibly something with the ipcop addon that kills the service if it gets too many errors.
 
The big news in this though, v6. If they're getting the backend ready, the client must not be far behind. :D

 
not sure if this is related at all, but last night i finished bringing up a new folding rig, and went to bed while it was looking good.

tonight i checked it out, and it was not doing a thing, cpu sitting idle. restarting the service didn't help, and i looked at the log, throwing out "file unreadable" errors. but that wasn't the really odd thing.

the really odd thing was that there were 2 executables:

FahCore_78.exe
FahCore_82.exe

so, i deleted everything but the client.cfg and work folder, re-ran the installer in that directory, and now it's back up without errors, nearly 2 hours later at 140K of 1M runnign without problems.

Actually the number of cores isn't anything to worry about. My main rig has 6 different ones. Each of the different WU categories normally has their own core executeable. It is good practice though to blast out the cores if you're having trouble, they sometimes do get corrupted and sometimes there are minor tweaks and revision changes.


 
well, EVERY SINGLE TIME i find multiple cores, it coincides with a complete shutdown of work on my windows machines. This is what the log says:
