What's YURT?
YURT is an idea that enhanced08 had to collect statistical information from Folding at Home clients. The program sends information about your machine -- processor info, memory, clock speed, and so on -- to a database. It also monitors your FAH clients to watch them complete work. As work units and frames finish, the program sends completion information to the site so the amount of time spent completing a given protein is tallied for each machine configuration.

The database has a website front end, where you can view a variety of reports to see how fast your machine is, how much work its doing, how often different proteins complete, and so on. How fast are Intel machines compared to AMD machines? How fast is a 3000+ compared to a 3400+? Does L2 cache make a difference? Which proteins are fastest? Which are the most popular these days? What kind of machines are participating in the project? Who has the most memory?

And so on... In fact, there's probably plenty of interesting reports we haven't written yet, but will do so as we start collecting more data and get user requests.

YURT doesn't cost anything to use. After installed, it runs as a service. It requires Windows; specifically, one of these versions or newer:

  • Windows 2000, Service Pack 3 and later (except Datacenter Server)
  • Windows XP SP1 and later
  • Windows Server 2003 SP1 and later

In respose to enhanced08's solicitations, I stepped up to write the code. After a couple months between my busy work and travel schedule, it's finished and can be downloaded from http://yurt.blaszczak.com/ . Let me again thank the alpha and beta testers for their help and support.

Please consider adding your statistics to the pile, and let me know if you have any questions, suggestions, or need some help.
 
well...i got it downloaded and running...sorry i wasnt around for the beta test....but im not a good beta tester.

VIVA LA HORDE
 
uh-oh.... I hope you wrote mary-proof program! :D


Keep on Folding!! For the [H]orde!!

that is what mary is testing :)
 
I see mary registered his T2500 notebook. I'll be tracking the stats on that one. I like all the info. I'm still trying to understand some of it, like the large disparity of Frame PPD versus WU PPD. Some of the number don't make logical sense to me.
 
Installed on all my Windows machines! Cant wait for the stats to start rolling in :eek:
 
logged into my home machines and have it running there too now

yea, I'm thinking at the time of hitting the send button them bastards gonna give me a hard time on that. Initals, computer.

I need a class in how to name computers, the last job was <user>, and <usernew>,

Hey Mike, You didn't like my YURT artwerk? :( ;)

The programs use the icons you provided, and the website sets it as a favorite icon.

Well, I was busting your balls, but what about this?

or this?

I installed it on 2 of my machines, and when I get home and go by the parents house, it will be on 3 more.

Will this detect new clockspeeds as they change? I'm known to change clocks from time to time.
 
Installed and running..........
On 7 out of 8 boxen.

Will it work with Windoze x64 ?
If so then can run it on all of them.

Luck......... :D
 
I got it runnin on a couple of my work boxen.

p4 3 gigger and an old dualie p3 850.



Dunno if im gonna get it installed on all my machines, thats a PITA. Now if you had a network monitoring version like EM3 that would be choice!

Nope; the clock speed is measured and read when you register (that is, when you press "send" in YURTInstaller).

OK, I'll add it to the homepage on the website.
 
Awesome tool, installed on 4 machines and working on the rest.

One suggested add to the zip file (although there is a probably a more elegant way to do this). Add a file called ymi.bat and put the following in it:

Code: 
echo Installing Yurtmonitor to run as a service.
pause
yurtmonitor install
pause
net start yurtmonitor
pause

Not quite a one click install, but close. :)

I chuckled at the fact that you have boxen called "roo-boxen" and "kanga-boxen" among your animal kingdom boxen names :D

EDIT: In reference to our friends from down under ;)

I'm only missing Tigger-Boxen.............

Edit. My unknown CPU's on Piglet-Boxen are a pair of MP 2800+'s

Luck.......... :D
 
Added 5 of the 6 boxen I have. This has nearly surpassed 100 processor already!! :eek:
 
I just added my 170 and my roomie's 3800+ X2, they'll put some solid numbers up for the db :D

edit: Odd my roomie's cpu is running 2.6 in the bios and in windows yet YURT reported it somehow running at 2.7, wierd... He'd be happy if that was true.

 
Can the person who owns the machine named "GJoeLaptop" please send me a PM? Thanks.
 
Very Nice ! Installed on 3 boxen. Wine + installation went fine :)..... Will come back tomorrow minus the wine to check out all those stats !

Sweet I just noticed that we have someone not from the H joining up for some YURT action. Good thing no one told him that YURT really changes all their points to team 33. :eek: j/k
 
I've made a few small fixes to the site; during the development, I was focused on the client since I figured I could play with the site any old time, as long as the client was running well.

  • added totals to the Team List page
  • added total and average for directories count to Machines List page
  • fixed Protein List so zero-count proteins are blank instead of "0 days 00:00:00"
  • added Work Units Submitted to Machines owned by User page
  • made nice output when Machines Owned by User Page didn't have any work units

Here's stuff I still need to do:

  • add code to total and show L1, L2, and L3 cache sizes
  • add code to detect, count, show logical vs. physical processors
  • fix User List page to show blanks instead of "0 days 00:00:00"
  • add totals to User List page
  • fix ProteinID == -1 problem (which is what I'm bugging Hito about)
  • fix blank rows in Work Rate Per Protein by Vendor report; check correctness of query, too
  • investigate why Points Reported for Frames in Work Rate by Frequency Name is always an integer
  • investigate why Points Reported for Frames in Work Rate by VEndor is always an integer
  • investigate why Points Rerorted for Frames in Work Rate by Processor Name is always an integer
  • make User List sortable

If you have suggestions for a report (or notice a bug) please let me know. (Though, it might be best to do so back in the design thread.)
 
Mike - First great stuff. There is nothing more fun that data to look at.

I think you may have introduced some problem with your updates - either that or it's operator error. :)

On the list of users, my user 33/Shermanator shows 8 machines (which is correct).
However, if you click on the machine count (great feature by the way), it only shows 6 machines.

Those 6 machines happen to be the ones at my house. The two that are missing are the ones at my office. I haven't been there this morning yet, but they were registered and working yesterday. Since I haven't been to my office yet this morning, I can't check if there was a power outage or something, but that shouldn't remove them from the DB, I would think.

Edit:
Hmmm -- update. The other two machines do show up on the machine list (mikeblk and yellow). They just don't show up on the Machines owned by Shermanator report. Come to think of it, I didn't check this yesterday, so it may have been a pre-existing condition.

I'll check in an hour or so, when I get to the office.

Thank you for your kind words.

This isn't a new issue; it wasn't introduced with the recent changes.

You only have six machines that have submitted work, so that's why there's only six machines on the report. mikeblk and alex haven't reported any work, so they're not on the list of machines.

I've fixed it.
 
Fast response, thanks. I'll have to brush up on my reporting and try to get my facts better. :)
 
I run the installer and got http erro code 500. and the monitor says


[2006-05-18 15:50:03] 0 of 71 frame items sent. response was "Error: MachineID 3947016044339940462 doesn't exist"
 
Did you send your machine data within the installer? Did it work? As the documentation explains, simply running the installer isn't enough.
 
nice work mikeblas

got all my machines switched over... i might add some more tom when i am at work

Can you provide the exact text of the message box? That is, when it has focus, press CTRL+INS; that'll copy it to your clipboard. From there, you can use SHIFT+INS to paste it into a message here.

Also, it would help to have a copy of the data that's being sent when you register. You can use the Copy button on the "YurtInstaller - Send Data" box. Feel free to send that in a PM or a mail message, particularly if you feel that the information is sensitive.

Which version of which OS are you using?
