Nitro has a 5770 overclocked. He is making just over 50% of what my 2 4890s are doing, and I'm sure getting better points/watt-hr than I am.
 
Commandos -

I was just looking a a few good projects to maybe consider for the next month or two.

I thought the following projects we could make big gains in
Sztaki Desktop Grid - team ranks
Leiden - team ranks
ABC@home - team ranks

If anyone see any others add them to the list!
 
Some other possible projects could be:
Aqua@home
Cosmology@home
Docking@home
MalariaControl.net
Poem@home

Now these projects are a little longer running such as Aqua and Cosm but, they were project is on Boinc that are under 9.5k
 
I didnt include Malaria Control because it looks like that project is out of work. Has been for the most part since March 1st. I would like to do some Aqua as thats our lowest BOINC project but last I checked the multithreaded WUs they had available would only run on Quads or better CPUs. And Cosmology seems to use so much RAM that its not good for quads.

I guess one month we could do Aqua and Cosmology. Aqua on quad cores Cosmology on dual/single cores.:)
 
Yeah I agree, I was just putting out our lowest projects in boinc. I was unaware that malariacontrol was out of work.

So for a possible list:

May: Stzaki
June: Leiden Classic
July: ABC@Home
August: Docking
September: Poem
October: Aqua/Cosm

That is if we keeping going with these monthly pushes. I like the idea so far. They seem to be able to unite us as a team and keeps interesting in projects.
 
^ That list looks good to me, but I might suggest skipping Aqua or leaving it for December (as there's usually a WCG contest we do at that time), as that one is a bit controversial due to its commercial nature...
 
Oh by all means it can be moved that was just a quick list for possible projects. I think we shouldn't do a monthly push in a project if we dont agree on it. If you want to do the project thats fine but, for a group I think we should be together for the project.
 
Guys, I have an Athlon 64 3200+ (Venice S939), 1GB Ram, Geforce 6200 256MB, in my closet.


Do you think I could use it for folding?
Would it be useless due the fact it's pretty old and slow?

There are some projects out there that have small work units that your Venice CPU can run and crunch in a reasonable time.

However, I don't think your point output will be worth the cost in electricity, but in the end thats your decision as to whether you can justify 10-15 extra dollars a month in electricity to run that box 24/7


Also, sup guys, fired up BOINC again for another run with the commandos. At least until I break 1,000,000 BOINC pernts for the [H]. Got an e8500 @ 4.01ghz and a heavily OC'd HD5850 running collatz right now.

If this machine is already powered on 24/7 in the closet for like a file server or something then yeah the basic folding@home client or BOINC would run just fine on it and you probably wouldnt even notice the difference on you elec bill. If you are not currently running the machine at all then I would guess it might cost you $5-$10 a month to run that thing 24/7.

Hey Shlomo - good to hear from you. Thanks for the help. I'll be curious to see what that 5850 will do in Collatz. Im currently debating between buying one of those or 2x 5770's.
 
Unless Collatz uses a different point system than BOINC, I think something is a bit off the charts as far as GPU units go. See the difference between claimed and given? I'm crunching through each unit in 5.5 minutes and getting 700+?! points per unit?

I generally get the same kinds of numbers with my ATI cards in collatz. Looks like you will be right up there with me in production. I get ~11 minute cycle times with my 4890s, but there are 2 of them.
 
That's the beauty of using ATI hardware for BOINC projects. ;) If we could recruit a few more ATI card in Collatz we could do some major damage.

Couldn't agree more. I think once or twice earlier we talked about focusing on Leiden in May. Any objections to that? If not I'll plan on putting up a new thread on May 1st and then swapping my machines over. :)

So those are indeed BOINC points being credited to my account? That is ridiculous.

1,000,000 boinc pernts used to be like.. impressive?
 
1 million boinc points is still impressive if you earn it the old fashion way with CPU. The gap between GPUs and CPUs for points is too great for time put in by them. GPUs is very easy for 1 mill.

Yeah, but if it's for the good of the team, I don't want to be the only dick about it... :D

Hell, I think it only took about 6 or 7 months for my 4850 at mostly stock speeds to hit 10,000,000 pernts in Milky Way. By Xmas I expect to have 10M in Collatz as well! :eek:

yeah theres a guy on TPF that has 30 million points with 1 system on collatz running 3 HD5870's :p and 18 million on another system running 1 5870..

and just to give you an idea of how much better ATI is on collatz.. his system running 2 GTX 295's only has 8.5 million points and its been running longer then both of the other rigs running 5870's..

yeah its normal because of the way boinc works.. you see the requested but the granted points are based on a bonus system as well for the time it takes to complete the unit..
 
Okay, since it's the end of April, and I'll be out of town next week, I'll need to switch my machines over this weekend - is this the list we're thinking about taking on starting this month? I'd heard Leiden mentioned as well, so I'm down with that for May and Sztaki for June, too. Any thoughts?

if your going to push any boinc projects outside of this thread.. i suggest to stick with science/medical projects.. you will get more people willing to run them..
 
Im thinking Leiden Classic. Stick with the Physical Science category. We are getting pretty close to moving up a couple spots in that section. :) Jathanis I wont have much free time this weekend so I dont know that I would have a chance to make a new thread. You want to make us a May BOINC project thread?
 
I have all but one of my boxen turned on again after however many months. I've had one i7 running BOINC on autopilot for a while, but I added two more boxen to Leiden Classic today.
 
I think that we may have gained on Ukraine though because of this. We are "only" 10K out of 9th place now. :D

EDIT: Yep just went back and looked at my still open browser tab from yesterday. Looks like we gained a good 700 points on Ukraine because the Eulernets removal from the Vault.
EulerNet - [H]ard|OCP (#37 - 8762.886598) vs Ukraine (#16 - 9484.536082)
 
crossed 10 million BOINC points the other day, about to hit 11 million
