What is one's responsibility when captaining a team? I might consider it if I find one or two projects very much to my liking.

To be a captain all you need is to be an active member and help answer the teams questions in the team message area in the project's website.
Since our Team has it's own website I don't think there will be many questions to answer on the projects site.
Be the teams leader (founder) for that project.
Do I hear a volunteer?

Possibly, but I need to find the time to get all my hardware in order, and try some new projects. I'm still down a server (since September) and that's been taking much of my time lately to get up and running again. Besides that and the holiday-related stuff, I'm trying to iron out some kinks in another system that might force me to undergo an OS reinstall. :(
 
Sure, just let me know when your ready.
Is there any you would like me to hold for you?
You can PM me them if you wish.
Thanks APOLLO for the interest.
 
Nomad8u - I see you have unified your Boinc Cross-project ID:
602,441 points in one update was a jump of a lifetime in Free-DC Stats.
You jumped all the way up to 3rd spot on the [H]ard|OCP team stats page. Knocked me back down to 5th spot.
I was getting comfortable in 4th. I'll just have to crunch myself back up there.
 
Hows that for a jump in SETI? We're up to #113, with point gains all around.

I'm out of town unexpectedly for a couple days. We lost power from a pretty good storm last night. So rather than sit around in the dark/cold, we got a hotel for a couple nights to wait it out. My boxen are set to turn on when the power comes back, but until then its just the laptop here with me.

And I just noticed SIMAP finally listed. YAY!

Cool. I've been working on getting that unified. I'm having issues with my Free-DC login so haven't been able to see the results yet.

Trying to get a response email from these guys to fix/reset my password is like pulling teeth.
 
Nomad - hows the 64 bit Linux going? Are you running anything else besides WCG on this box? I was thinking of reformatting my machine to a linux distro if you were having good luck with it. I wanted to run a couple of these "new" projects on it.;)

It's going very well. I really like openSUSE. It makes for a great crunchin' OS. Bit of a learning curve never having messed with *nix besides Notfreds, but it wasn't too bad. I managed to get Samba working on it so I can monitor it remotely from my main PC which is XP. Boincview works fine for monitoring it and another dedicated cruncher that's currently running XP. I didn't have much trouble getting VNC running on it either and can control it from my main XP 'puter via TightVNC without problems.

Overall a sweet deal. I'm thinking about converting my other dedicated cruncher to SUSE as well. But that'll have to wait until February as January is a really busy month for me at work doing overnights without many days off. I don't want to get involved in an OS swap during that.

The current x64 SUSE box doesn't have a Cuda GPU so I haven't tried that on it. But besides WCG it's run SHA-1 for a few days with no issues and is currently doing POEM for a few days. I'm waiting for another box to finish its' CPDN unit and then I'll give that a run on it. It should run any of the "new" projests just fine.

There's plenty of help here if needed. I think Alan is familiar with Ubuntu/Kubuntu distros and Tigerbitten is *nix savvy. CentOS I think. BillR and SmokeRngs are the SUSE gurus and I have a little experience with it now as well.

I found a monitoring app to keep an eye on temps with it. Nvidia has decent Linux drivers and support and even an Nvidia card app to OC and set the fan called NVClock. What more could you ask for... :D

Actually, I cut my teeth on Redhat 7 and SuSE 6.4 back in around 1999, and used a few "real *nix's" before that. I've also ran Ubuntu, Gentoo, Fedora, Solaris, FreeBSD and too many others to count since then. :D

Just watch out though, there's still a few Windows only projects out there. But the BOINC client is good at handling cases like that if you're using an account manager. I use one and my boxes without a CUDA card decline GPUGRID work seamlessly.
 
Overall #113 (no change)

Climate Prediction up 1
Einstein@Home down 1
POEM@Home up 2
Rosetta@Home down 1
SHA-1 Collision up 24
Spinhenge@Home up 14

We're moving in the right direction overall!
 
I see we slipped a team position in Seti this morning. I will be putting in a lot of extra points in to that project to help get that spot back.
This morning Seti had there Tuesday morning maintenance downtime and when the servers came back on line they were so busy that it took me 4 hours to get my daily allowance of WU's.

It's challenging to keep my position up in all these projects.
Our team is crunching some serious work units!
lawn.gif
 
I gave up on worrying where I am in any given project, the 8 CPU cores, 1 GPU and 1 PS3 that I've currently got running isn't going to keep me at the top of any charts. But let's see if I can get this Athlon XP 3000+ and CPU-less socket 754 that I garbage picked tonight doing anything productive. :D

I just wish BOINC could be a little more consistent in keeping 2 CPU units and 1 GPU unit all running together on the box my GPU lives in. Sometimes it does, most of the time it doesn't.
 
I use the standings to push me to crunch [H]arder.
borgsmile.gif

They are working to fix the cpu usage of the gpu units and the turn around time from unit to unit.
It would be nice if the gpu units didn't require there own cpu core.
 
Stats just got updated.

Overall we're +1 to #112

Individually:
CPDN +2
Spinhenge +11
Poem +1
SIMAP +16
SHA-1 +16

Nothing down further in any project. yay.

I added some GPU loving and some for SIMAP as well. I threw 2 cores on separate machines to SIMAP to try and give that a quick boost then I'll move one core to Spinhenge and help out there.

Weird.. the box running the GPUGrid is running 5 units simultaneously(1-CPDN,1-CPU and 3 WCG). All are over 85% effeciency according to BV. Pretty wild. I didn't know they'd run that many WU at one time.

It looks like the projects we're making progress in, we're making GOOD progress.
 
I just threw in on Spinhenge and SHA-1 as well when I saw the huge jump... Might as well add where the movement seems easiest! I also noticed that we don't show teams for ABC, Cosmology, Docking, Milkyway, Primegrid, QMC, or uFluids (among others - these are just the ones I'm currently crunching that don't show up) - assuming we can get just 2000 points each for these seven, we'll jump at least 10 spots, and that puts us about even with OCAU, our old F@H friends! Any idea why none of these show up? (Don't think I'm complaining, Razor and Alan are already busting their asses on this, I'm just happy to be along for the ride right now!)


Totally OT, I thought it was bad when I started GPU folding and HAD to buy the 2 9600GSO just because... Now I'm trying to figure out how many other machines and old hardware I can borg into a farm! Since Alan reminded me, I think I have an old socket 754 XP 64 CPU/mobo floating around somewhere (which can also run another GPU - yay!), plus I found an old 1.5Ghz lappy with a dead screen that will be borged tonight... Those two plus my wife's old lappy will bump me from 1 to 4 CPUs folding (all single core, oh well), and once I get my new PSU RMAed from newegg, I'll add a dual core to that.


:D AND I seem to have gotten the wife's permission to start ramping up a small farm after the first of the year - $50 dual core CPU's, a simple mobo with 2 AGP, and a gig of RAM don't cost much, right? :D


Oh, and BTW, HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!
 
Thanks for reminding me again Jathanis, I need to see if that Athlon XP runs tonight. I don't have a CPU for the 754 box yet, but it's going to get transplanted into my server that I hope to get running again. And I just remembered a Pentium-M lappy I have... :p

The PS3 will be going BOINC as soon as I can grab a USB keyboard so I can install Linux. Can you believe I don't have a single USB keyboard? :D

But anyways, nice jump up to #112. And nice to see no red this update, there's been a little bit here and there, but overall no biggie. Most of the "Team established, waiting to add" projects are coming along too, so there's a nice jump or two again in the near future.
 
We're up to #111 overall

Climateprediction up 3 places
Einstein down 1 place
Poem up 2 places
SHA-1 up 8 places (we're slacking here guys :D)
SIMAP up 182 places
Spinhenge up 8 places

Another great update for us. I'm itching to pull the trigger on a couple more additions to our team page. :p



Edit: up another 77 places in SIMAP in less than an hour. So we can clearly make a big difference quick in any project where we're below the top 300 or so.
 
I think we can delete our OGR-26 "team" from the records. Notice how its listed with no ranking or score? I went to the OGR-26 site and couldn't find us anywhere. I found RC5-72 with no effort, and RC5-72 and OCG-26 are both part of the distributed.net site. And our RC5-72 "team" has done no work since 2003. :D

Another big jump of 1400+ points this past update, but the teams immediately above us seem to be on the rise as well, so we're not catching them very quickly. No worries though, I have a feeling we'll be above 100 by weeks end.
 
I turned in work on Muon1 Distributed Particle Accelerator Design this morning and reactivated the team.
There had been 2 others on the team before me but they hadn't put in any work in over a year.
 
The Vault has been updated to show the new teams that have points in them to date.
Now we just need an update to see where we are at.
Yay!! This will be great!
Also I got them to update our Logo.

http://www.dc-vault.com/showteam.php?team=98

Edit: SZTAKI Desktop Grid is a 32 bit application so it does not run on a 64 bit OS.
 
Looks real nice. All the new teams added, and the ones already there gaining additional pointage. Top 100 here we come.

Edit: So we're basically just waiting for work to become available in proteins@home and the lattice project before we can tear it up in those two projects as well.
 
First update since Razor's mass additions....

We're up to #89! And there's still thousands of points on the table with all these teams in the starter phase with sub-500 and even worse rankings. Top 50 by February!

And look at all the red below us from the carnage Ubuntu Linux and the [H]orde caused. :D
 
Whoa. Now thats an update. nice job with the mass projects guys. I started two more rigs yesterday (after a slight holiday break) and I am starting another X2 right now. Alan/Razor - nice work with all the teams. :)
 
There's a lot of dead weight immediately above us too. Now if only someone could figure out getting an invite for malariacontrol.net.
 
What a trail of red arrows behind us!
Wow! 22 spots just like that. Wow!

Thanks to all of the [H]ard DC Commandos for all your effort, we can see some pay off now.
 
Good lord Razor, leave us something to look forward to next week. :D
 
Will GPUGRID ever get added to the DC Vault?

I tried to add GPUGRID to one of my boxen to get my 8800GS going but it just gave an error. BOINC recognizes the GPU but it doesnt get any work. The error I get is "Full-atom molecular dynamics on Cell processor not available for your type of computer." :confused:
Anyone have any suggestions?

What version Boinc are you using?
This should help. After this just keep trying the update button.

Follow this guide and you'll get work. It'll take up to an hour, but it'll come. Im running 2 simap and 1 GPUGRID unit all together on an X2 with an 8800GS as we speak after this.

And as far as getting into the vault, who knows. Nomad8u and I are on the forum working on it.

http://www.team-ninja.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=44464
 
Sweet, thanks guys. I changed those files and it worked on the first try with the 6.4.5 BOINC client. I suspended it for now. I have some WCG WUs that are close to the deadline so i need to get those finished first. The GPU seemed to slow those down a bit, but I'll be starting it up soon. :) I also signed up for ABC@Home, and will be signing up for SIMAP soon. Need to let e few more WU finish first! Man I need some Quads instead of all these X2's! :D
 
Has anyone noticed the "DC Vault Commentary" daily threads on the DC Vault forum? I just noticed these and we're mentioned somewhere in them daily since the Commando's began the raid. Wait until they get a load of us on the next one. :D

It's only 88 more places, and it'll be done with soon enough. :D
 
Another update, another big jump. Gentoo Linux Users Everywhere and Conrad Hotel at least should fall to us on the overnight update. Great work Commandos!
