Transcipt of the body of an email that i got from my boss this afternoon. I had asked her about putting FAH on the campus machines:

"I have heard of that program and would be happy to have it put on the lab machines. I will have Nate contact you about it, he is the one that handles the lab images.

thanks for thinking of it."




so....... :D :D :D
edit: should be >100GHz!!

Well if you aren't going to eat, at least get yourself a celebratory drink... you've certainly earned it!

What kind of systems>??
Click to expand...
All of the systems are P4, XP boxen, and i've only seen very few with 256MB RAM, the rest all have 512. In just the labs that i can list off the top of my head they have # of comptures in them:

10
10
40
25
30
20
i know there are probably at least 5 more labs that i'm not thinking about...
=====
135 computers.. at least. So figuring a bare minimum of 2GHz for each machine, that's 270GHz easy. These systems are on 24x7, too.

As soon as can i get them b0rged, i'm gonna keep a detail of exactly what kind of computers are running this, so i can calculate average ram and avg CPU speed. Wish me luck, guys / gals!

Good.. I produce around 1900 points a day though so I'll give ya a run for it.. also I might be able to borg an office of around 30 boxen. Its iffy but gonna try.

Now we could use that as a marketing slogan... I can see it now "En14ge your [H]'s w17h F@H" Send it worldwide to every mailbox we can find... Oh hold on....

Hell.....Yeah!
 
Thanks y'all... quick question, since i'm too lazy to do the math / figure out what math i need to do: does anyone know how much more power we will need to beat the Aussies? I'm assuming a lot more than 0.3 THz.....

Were going to need a lot. The race to 100,000,000 is all but over I'm guessing. In two weeks I should have .1 Tzh going to help out.

Free advice, take the borg slow. Don't get ahead of yourself, as it something goes wrong it's X the number of units which can be a real poop storm. I've noticed most folks seem to not run big blocks on these types of borgs for what ever reasons. Not sure it's worth finding out the reason or not. I'm guessing it's to keep the users boxen from swapping the hell out of itself when the end user is using it (those bastards).

Good luck.

haha I'm killing time.... They will reach 100Mil in about 4.3 days. We would need to triple our team output per day, for the next 4.2 days to beat them there.

lol, thanks. I think i should be able to turn big packts on, even with 512MB, though? Right? Heh... i can always run it on a few machines to test it out. I know that my boss's email seemed to imply that she would let me add this to their images (they re-image all the machines once every semester, so that's good news for the long-run) But i'm gonna ask her if i can install the program sooner if i don't hear from Nate first. But... i'm curious as to why exactly you're saying take it slow? Just so that if anything goes belly-up, it won't be a total disaster? & Thanks for the advice ;)

Umm, images. This is serious, you can't exactly install the folding application in the image cuz the boxen grabs (needs) the unqiue id from Stanford. I work out of images for all my stuff and I include the program, but do NOT install it till the units comes out of the image. IE the program is not installed in the image, so when I install after the boxen is imaged it's grabs the unique ID.

Ummm, problem here (lemme know if I wrong here). A good old network installwould be cool, but then you need to run that aftet each semester's imaging. Plus don't get the network install wrong our you just borned the whole campus...opps.

Slow- yea it's just a step to make sure things are right. I work on alot of boxs, a global change (across all units) needs to be right on the money. It's real easy to jump the gun with these things.

Big Blocks- I'm really just not sure, but if you look at a lot of the big guns they are almost all running small blocks. Just something I noticed.

At our current production 596 days to overtake. They are just starting to cool off down there so they will increase their output.
If you can run big WU on those you are looking at 250,000 points per week (just a guess) if they were all 600 pointers. We are down by 2,134,090 points at this moment so as my foggy math goes...270 more 2gig or better CPU’s will take about a month to catch up.
DatHak512 you have got half that listed as your next acquisition!
Good job, and never falter!

 
I hope they let you borg all at once, and not as they are re-installed.

When I borged the lab at my old job, I used the screen saver and set it as the default windows SS. That way it ran when no one was loged on and didn't impact user performace. If all your machines are 2.5Ghz or better you can probably get away with just installing the service, and not have anyone know the difference. But I imagine that admin will make that choice for you. I just hope the admin lets you borg for team 33. But if not don't loose intrest, borging for another team is still a good borg.

When I had 85 machines up I was just tiping 10k points a day. But since i'm not at that job and can't keep them all up and going they are begining to drop off. So with 100 machines you will probably average between 9-12k points per day.

(Dammit!!! now I have the erge to go back to my old job site and ninja borg my way up to 100+ machines!!!! I have to stop reading this forum!!! )

Heh, yeah... this place will do that to you.... But that's a good thing :).

Yeah, i mean i have the info to log on with admin rights anyway, since i work for the "ITS" team, or whatever you want to call it. So i might polietly (spelling? :rolleyes: ) ask if i can install before the next re-imaging. Of course, every time they re-image, i'm sure all the in-process WUs will get blown to tiny digital bits, but i don't really see any way around that with out trying to totally change their methods...
 
Well you can go ahead and install FAH on the machine your going to image just make sure it isn't connected to the net. That way when your freshly imaged machine starts up for the first time it will grab a new WU.

I meant like when they re-image the second time (first time will install a "fresh" copy of FAH, ready to download a work unit and a core) they will have interupted the FAH console. (i.e. they probably won't save all of the work directories before they re-image the hard drive, so all that work will be lost.) Has anyone encountered this before? Or is it just an acceptable loss?
 
Awesome, good job man! I'm glad I could be of some help with the letter. ;)

(heh, you should use the user name "Schmave" on some of those :D )

Lol... gah... shold i be an ass, or a nice guy? Hmmm.... :D Maybe i'll throw out a few thosand points to you or somethin'. :)
 
ahhhh...that was good for a laugh. Now I need to get to work and figure out who actually runs the labs because nobody ever checks the "contact us" emails for the labs here... :rolleyes: Hopefully I can pull off what you just did.

Heheh...

Yeah, what i did was just print off the letter, sign it, stick it in an envelope, and hand-deliver it to the Boss. I didn't really explain it when i handed it over, i just said "I have this letter for you, and if you have any questions about it, you can get in touch with me over email or phone or person, whatever's easiest." She was busy at the time, so i probably would have given her a little background had there been time, but fortunatly it didn't seem to matter. So now i'm just waiting to hear back from that other guy..... :rolleyes: but hey... i think that my boss had the final say, and she's already said it, so i don' t think that the other guy can say no. Anyway, i just wanted to let you know that you might have better luck just printing it out and delivering it by hand.
 
I think that's a good approach. I sent off a few emails to some of the computer staff here asking who the network admin is. If they get back to me and tell me who is in charge I'll probably print out the letter and deliver it to them. It just seems more official that way.

Oh, BTW, when they re-image all of the machines I think you're just going to have to accept the loss of some work. However, you may be able to write some script that goes out and finds the FAH directory on each machine and saves that directory, as well as some identifying information from the machine it was taken from (so you know which machine to put it back on). That way you could save all the work and simply copy the FAH directories back after the re-imaging. That sounds like a good CS assignment for some student.
