Celebration may be premature!!!

[rkhands]

All of this celebration and slapping of backs may very well be premature. OCAU has OUTPRODUCED [H] by about 1000 points so far today.

SO, FOLD more celebrate less.

 

[DR_K13]

I AM NOT HEARING THIS!

 

[magnusvir]

It [H]appens. Could be something to do w/ the time difference.

 

[KodiakStar]

1k isnt too much to cough at... the actual WU turned in... how eoc tabulates their data (not getting ALL of the WU each time) what time the WU's are turned in etc...

so. maybe it is an hour later then what it would be....

you cant stop the steam roller once it has smashed your legs...

 

[Kvothe]

I think we were just waiting on a points dump... current @ Stanford, 11:54 AM Est, 51884 points back, so we've picked up 5k on them in the last 5 hours approx.

 

[Hito Bahadur]

The first 2 updates of the day usually have OCAU and [H] close in production. Probably because of the time difference.

But, their 10am update is a surprise. They have definately stepped up production.

 

[Hito Bahadur]

Expect us to be about 10k better off after the 12pm CST update.

 

[wake6830]

They seem to have added about 100 folders from what they had a few weeks back.

 

[HoosierDad]

I say we start the party now so it can last longer.

 

[magnusvir]

I say we start the party now so it can last longer.

Yeah!!! Anyobdy have some [H]orde themed music?

 

[gnewbury]

Current calculations at Stanford show 48,248
POUR IT ON!!
I'm wasting my lunchtimes and evenings sneakernetting these darn WU,
and went from 10K a month to 10K a week , I don't know how long I can keep it up, but I'm trying.

Agreed, ive doubled my production, and have a few more coming...
Glad I dont pay for my electricity!

Next tuesday one of our big contributors will be back with updated machines

All P4 3Ghz... they are estimating the points output will be 200000 a day, they are a school with plenty of computers


OCAU #1

That will be great for science. Let us know when Sceggs is back up.

no extra zeros on there? nice... for you anyways.

looks like we gotta pass them now, so we can at least have that. seriously, 200kppd would what, double their output? we better make up the 19727 points left so we can get in front

 

[Irishllama]

Booo p4.

 

[Megadeth_Guy01]

Looks like we will pass/equal them 6AM tomorrow .

hrmm, you serious? 200k a day would require like, over a thousand computers... so i think maybe you got an extra zero but whatever... damn that means im going to have to get off my ass and borg those 100 new P4 2.8's we got... oh well...

 

[KodiakStar]

naw. sounds like too much work...
let them have a small chance of catching back up once we pass them.. and flog them..

 

[noboundaries_au]

would require like, over a thousand computers...

i would not be surprised if they had that many lol

 

[Bugalaman]

dammit, why won't my computer fold faster!?

 

[chestRcopRpot2]

As relic* used to say "bring it dont sing it"

I woudnt get too carried away noboundaries_au, lets not our chickens before they hatch.

*cant remember if relic was the original author of that phrase. but he sure did use it

yeh i know...
im gonna start folding again , (coz over summer my room gets uncomfortably hot), may the best folder win, and beleive me we will hehe

 

[DougLite]

Not if I have anything to say about it.

I've got a 3.0C, OC'd to 3.5GHz, HT on: 7000
Dad has a 2.8E, stock clock but HT on 5600
I've got two Athlon XPs (Mobile Bartons, both at 2GHz) That's about 3000+ x 2 = 6000
A pair of PIII 550s and a PIII 600, another 1700
And a Via C3 800MHz, which probably only counts for about half that: 400

Assuming F@H is HT aware, that comes to 20,500MHz. Without HT and AMD performance rating bonus, it's still over 12GHz. May be enough to put us over the top if we all keep working

I realize that the [H]orde is [H]uge, but I don't think you guys are going to sneeze at that. Looks like no SMP goodness though - that takes out one of my PIIIs and the HT tech on the P4s. Hmm...Can I run United Devices on the other CPUs?

EDIT I got everythign except the PIII 600 online (waiting on my Low Profile Volari V3XT to come for hooking it up to my HDTV)

 

[gigglebyte]

well I am going to make a visit upstairs either today or tomorrow and see if I can get a couple of G5s workin for the [H]orde...have a few friends that owe me a favor...I may not get 24x7 out of them but I should be able to get off hours and weekends

 

[HekoAridese]

I've got a 3.0C, OC'd to 3.5GHz, HT on: 7000

DougLite: Your processor isn't dual core, and 2 threads are certainly not doubling performance. I'm even doubting if they help do anything at all... HT is just a big bandaid over a big problem that Intel's Pentiums always had.

 

[DougLite]

A) Better than nothing.
B) I realize that HT is not full blown dual core, but allowing two threads to execute will still be better than only one.
C) I'll give every watt and every KB of cache I can to the [H]orde
D) It's still well over 15GHz altogether (12GHz in raw clock speed alone from all of my boxes, not counting HT or AMD performance ratings), and that Northwood chip cranks out a frame in less than a minute, so it's nothing to sneeze at. BTW, that Northwood chip is a faster folder than any of my Athlons even without HT, so I wouldn't say that Pentiums have big problems.

Not trying to start a flamewar, but I wouldn't nitpick somebody who is paying for the electricity to have every MHz available to him Folding away. I could have kept the money and spend it on more fps for my games, but I'm not selfish.

 

[KodiakStar]

Doug... dont trip.. he is just jealous of your [H]ardness and [H]ardfast devotion to the [H]orde!

 

[Kvothe]

And we love you for it!

Also, to answer your question about SMP and HT, you can use -local flag as shown in this thread to get your multi-processor and HT boxen folding more than one thing at a time!

 

[KodiakStar]

That was the best Reply I have ever seen p[H]ant0m make...

I just wanted to share that with everyone...

Our Mentors are the BEST!

 

[OSUguy98]

I think the general consensus with HT is that you gain about 5-15% output by doing it… Stanford says that it doesn’t matter (much) to them if you use HT or not, they leave it up to the individual…


Keep on Folding!!

 

[gnewbury]

Two threads with HT seem to give about 30% performance increase.
It seemed to me that when I ran 4 threads on two HT enabled processors I only got about 10% to 15% performance increase.

 

[HekoAridese]

Oops. I just realized I corrected a moderator. >.<

I'm not starting a flame war either, just correcting you

 

[DougLite]

Technicalrobably RAM bandwidth limitations result in the diminishing returns as you add execution paths.
Moral: Thanks for the support guys...hopefully I'll get some overtime at work so I can buy more FPS _and_ more folding I've got them all working, and it's starting to get hot in here. June and July here in Indiana will probably be unbearable, but we'll catch those Aussies by then. I'll sweat (at least a little bit) for the [H]orde too! Also, if anybody has a copper 478 heatsink they'd be willing to donate, I think I can get even more work out of that Northwood (right now it's running only half of the HT because of temps)

If the Mod is wrong, the mod should be corrected. Don't feel bad about that - besides, I'm only a mod in disk storage, I have no power here.

 

[Kvothe]

May I suggest the parts swap thread. I've not taken a look through it in some time, but I imagine someone in there might have one.

And as a fellow Hoosier, I suggest you crank up that A/C, mine's already been running for a week!

Indiana != hot. At least not the hot that we get. Every summer we get to look forward to 95F and > 80% humidity days. At night it 'cools down' to the low to mid 80s. You do get slightly longer days though thanks to being further north though.

On a side note, I have only run my A/C for about 30 hours since March. I'm used to it being about 80F in my place though, to keep the electric bills down during the summer.

Sorry, mainly an AMD folder here, but like mentioned above, check the parts swap thread. We are a generous group as long as we recognize the person.

105F at my house in TX, and up real close to 100 and occassionally over here in NM. Just cranked up my folding, I couldnt keep the room under 85F or so during the winter because of heat from my AXP1800+. Now that the A/C is on, I'd be glad to host boxen here if anybody in NM needs a place with free power + AC...

Stop ya whingin your goin against us aussies here

dammit, why won't my computer fold faster!?

I got my folding faster I hit the turbo button. The little display numbers doubled.......woohoo!
