Not when you just did a complete rewrite of the application and you're only running test units and you're after feedback rather than completed units.

Im focusing on OGR-27 and it still seems like we are losing massive amounts of points, other teams must have put alot toward there OGR-27 teams.

It's kind of funny now that we were one of the first to jump on OGR-27 and everyone is playing catch up with us. :D
 
OGR-27 is just the next phase of OGR-26. It uses the same app. What we have now are teams that gave up on -26 long ago and are beginning to "get back in the game." They want those lost points back. It's probably going to take awhile to stabilize.

Oh I was unaware that they were redoing their code.

Yeah we had a huge jump in points thanks to Mfl0p but, it seems when he is not running OGR-27, that I can't come close to matching his points.

That's going to be the case everywhere for a while. There's 40 projects in the Vault that aren't F@H and WCG, and there's less than 40 Commandos. When we go and attack something, then multiple other somethings get neglected. But, on the other hand, there can't be too much SIMAP work left, so those of us on it can spread back out again.
 
I've been disappointed with distributed.net lately. For now my big boxen are back with Stanford. Distributed.net has a very talented group of programmers and porters, with the vast majority of their client cores coded in ASM, which you will hardly (ever?) see on other DC projects. You may know my opinion on RC5 cracking (pointless) but I do see some value in OGR.

However, dnet's lack of attention to detail on stuff that matters to participants like me is why I'm cutting back on OGR27. Why are the OGR26 stats still broken???, where's my 2 million plus gnodes I contributed to that?? Why don't they email me back when I asked about getting the team contact/founder changed so we can get rid of the wack HTML code on our team pages? Small stuff that doesn't contribute to THEIR goal of completing the project, yes, but these are big things for the participants. Maybe this is part of the reason the RC5-72 status page says "we'll hit 100% in 206,857 days at yesterday's rate" with about 5% active participants.
:confused:
Oh, well. Back to folding it is.

 
Good lord, 4.1 years on the board and this is your first post. You really need to fix that ratio. :D

But either way, welcome to the forum and thanks for all you've done for the DC Commandos, and all that you will do.

Welcome.gif
 
It's already been noted on the forum, though I don't know how anyone could have noticed us jumping over a hundred places in the rankings that fast. :D


I did grab some screenshots since I doubt it'll stay like that for much longer.
 
What's amazing is that even after 48 million points, we were still only the third-ranked team in Yoyo. :eek:
 
Well, it was fun while it lasted. We're back down to 107. I guess the RAC of 4 million stood out a bit. :D
 
Does anyone else notice that are POEM@home score seems kinda low at 6,737? Since it is a Boinc Project. Maybe a possible raid this weekend or in the near future?
 
I've been the only one crunching POEM recently, but I stopped to do SIMAP. Progress is kind of slow.
 
I'm game on POEM after the SIMAP dries up...

Oh, and welcome, Tr0ach! (finally...)
 
im joining ogr-27 after i finish simap.. since i dont have anywhere close to the same amount of cores as you.. i cant really spread my self out to thin..


btw everyone simaps dried up.. i received my last and final projects about 6 am this morning and now just says no projects available instead of saying 30 WU limit reached..

Project status
The project has currently no work (see below).
The similarity matrix of the SIMAP project is currently up to date. All workunits from the last calculation period are distributed, thanks to all users for chrunchig them.
The calculation of new simap workunits containing the novel proteins from March 2009 (simap app) and their domains (hmmer app) will start around April 1st.
 
Count me in for a little POEM too. Once the SIMAP finish, I'm going on POEM and yoyo (for those who haven't been paying attention today, we're not really 3rd with 9947 vault points in yoyo :D) for a little while.
 
Yeah mfl0p - I'm going to hit OGR-27 on and off with my quad so I'll be helping.
This weekend I'm throwing the quad at EON to help get us up where we can pass the next few teams.

Edit: By the way mfl0p, thanks for getting that HTML code off our Dnet team page. Looks much better now. Glad to have you as our Dnet Captain.
 
The core i7 is up and running, and it's a monster. I'm going to work on overclocking this weekend, and hopefully I'll be able to get a nice OC on the i7 and Phenom II with reasonable temps.
 
got about 5-6 hours left on simap for this system.. then its on to OGR-27 for about a week.. then ill drop it down to a single core and run the rest of my boinc projects on the 3 other cores..

I'm a little pissed at the yoyo project right now - had one WU run for over 40 hours that came up with a computational error at 100%, so I get no credit for all that - and the forum is in German, so I can't even figure out how to register to complain! Guess I'll have to fire up a crappy online translator and figure it out...
 
I spread out to 5 projects since SIMAP is done for now. I kinda want another quad just to run WCG on, but I doubt I'll be adding any more boxen any time soon.

Odd, on every other BOINC project its the same login for the "Your Account" page (also the email/password you give the client when you attach) as for the forum. As I don't speak German either, I have no idea what that page is telling me when I attempt to login.

But, in all fairness, yoyo is just a BOINC wrapper around a few non-BOINC projects, so there's a good chance the error wasn't yoyo's fault.

I know, and now that I'm not at work, I'll have a few beers and forget about it - it's just thinking about the 800 or so pernts I missed out on in SIMAP that gets me pissed. Then I realize that 800 pernts won't change a damn thing, so off to find a cold Guinness! :D
 
ok ive grown impatient waiting for this simap stuff to finish.. 2 projects left.. time to work on overclocking this phenom II 940 without blowing up this crappy motherboard..
 
ok got it to 3.5ghz @ 1.42v on a board thats not even suppose to be able to handle this processor.. let alone overclock it.. not bad..


ok running ogr-27.. 4 crunchers at 124,064,323 nodes a second.. not sure how good that is though..

though the one problem i see with ogr-27 is that its not optimized for the phenom II.. it just comes up as an unknown athlon model 16 processor.. when its actually a model 13.. so it may not be taking advantage of everything the phenom II has..

Your noderate looks OK, OGR27 seems to vary wildly depending on what stub you are working on and which cpu architecture (cache/memory access). I didn't see this as much with OGR26.

Even though the client isn't detecting the processor yet, make sure that it's starting the correct number of crunchers for the number of cores you have when loading the client.

Also, it should automatically pick Core #2 (rt-asm-mmx) for OGR under win32. 64bit operating systems get different core numbers and names.

You can benchmark all available cores in the client, and make sure that's the fastest one. 32bit core#2 is coded in ASM with some MMX features used... Newer SSE,SSSE stuff isn't used.

COLD Guinness :eek:
Click to expand...

Yeah, I'll only drink Guinness at room temp when it's coming staight from a tap in Dublin or someplace within a few hundred kilometres from there! I can get the 4 pack of 16 oz draught cans for for $6 at the Bevmo around here, but those have to be cold! The bottled stout is better, and needs to be drank a bit warmer, maybe 45-50 degrees, but costs more and is harder to come by around here...
 
not bad.. less then 24 hours and i already have 4k points for ogr-27.. :p

avging about 136 million nodes/s when EON isnt running any projects.. when it is im getting a little over 111 million nodes/s..
 
Anyone know what happen to Tobit?
Hope he is all right. He's been MIA about a week now.

no clue.. havent heard from him in a while..


btw 36 hours already up to 25k points in ogr-27.. man i love this quad core!
Click to expand...
Nice bro. Keep the pressure on!
I put in an hour or so on OGR-27 then switched to D2OL to get our points back. I'll hit it again in the morning after I get a few k of EON built up for the upload.
