Our rankings

[Lagu]

Hi

When sorting the points in Total we have following ranks:

QMC@Home 23
HashClash 12
uFluid 14
Leiden Classical 21

We should strive after to be among the 20 best or with other words be on their first page on their stats page. As you can se we need extra power in QMC and Leiden Classical.

QMC takes more than 10 hours but you earn good points compared with Leiden Classical.
HashClash has very small tasks who takes 14 minutes each I think.
Leiden takes 5-7 minutes each on an Athlon 64 2300+.

Any as feel to run any of these project helping our team AMDusers? If you are hesitant test any of them and feel after if you find it comfortable.

started the qmc thing for the sake of our team. Finished calculations, but no credit to be seen yet.

[NeoGen]

You have been awarded 142.31 credits for that 1st workunit :)

Hi Frederic

Thank you for your loyalty against our team. I wish more members should do what you have done.

Hey Frederic!

Thanks for helping us on QMC. Are you using one of the optimized boinc clients (http://www.amdusers.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1785)? They really help on projects like QMC and Rosetta, when there is one person per result.

[Frederic Brillouet]

i just use the bbc thing. Is there a better (faster) one for me, without losing all my bbc credits? I'm running an athlon 64 3000+ S754 (probably said that before)

By the way, I'd gladly did this for the team because we're all part of it and everybody can enjoy the "glory" a little bit.

[AMD-USR_JL]

Yea, this one right here (http://www.bm-makler.de/setiathome/boinc/pc/Boinc_5.2.13_P4_Athlon64_SSE2.zip) should do the trick. Its optimized for your processor. It won't make your bbc faster, but it will make your QMC faster. It adds SSE2 in the benchmark test which makes you request more for the same amount of work.

Instructions:

1. Stop the running Boinc Manager
2. extract the files in the archive into your boinc folder.
3. If you get a message containing something like "overwrite exiting files" select YES.
4. Restart the Boinc Manager
5. Run the benchmark test

[Frederic Brillouet]

it won't make my bbc run slower? What if I install it on a separate hdd and run it as a second client? would I have any advantage in that?

Hi

Frederic, download Crunch3r version 5.2.13 to your hard disc, open it and shoose your Boinc map. First cloce Boinc. Notice, You must choose the right version. Look after Athlon SSE.

When you start Boinc again you should se this:

2006-04-09 16:50:01||Starting BOINC client version 5.2.13 for windows_intelx86

I have it and my Benchmark is as follow:

2006-04-09 20:28:51||Benchmark results:
2006-04-09 20:28:51|| Number of CPUs: 1
2006-04-09 20:28:51|| 3051 double precision MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
2006-04-09 20:28:51|| 9220 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU
2006-04-09 20:28:51||Finished CPU benchmarks

It is a lot better than the orginal Boinc.

You lose nothing. Boinc continue with 5.2.13 and crunch your task as nothing have happen.

You have to install it over your yuor boinc folder (i think). It doesn't really make anything run faster, it just makes you get higher benchmarks, so you request more. In your Boinc Manager, in help, in about, does it say your version is 5.2.13?

[Frederic Brillouet]

at the moment it doesn't say shit. it refuses to connect to localhost thingie

edit: it was something 5.3.19

edit 2: the processes seem to be running in the background, but the manager still refuses to connect or show the projects

you have to unzip this Crunch3r file into your project file:


Program Files/BOINC/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu <<<




the Trux calibrator you just unzip into Program Files/BOINC<<<<

[Frederic Brillouet]

i unzipped it into the climate change experiment folder, which is the home of the boinc client and manager. now i'm unable to connect the manager to the localhost so i can't see wether i've made any progress or not, and i cant undo things by recovering from the backup becaus it says that some files are already being used

[NeoGen]

Files being used... oh no... you did stop boinc and exited the manager before applying the optimized client, didn't you?

Just joined Leiden - 6minutes 28seconds and my first unit is done :D

[Frederic Brillouet]

yes i did top the client. is there anything i can do?

[Strongbow]

task manager (if you're running Windows) then end task BOINC.EXE and BOINCMGR.EXE if they're still running. Try running it again!

Else, make a quick copy of the BOINC folder and reinstall the official BOINC client (5.2.13) and then extract the optimized one in the same directory and then run BOINC again. Should be fine!

Hi Spikey_richie

Thank you for joining Leiden Classical. Are you surprised? I can tell you you have to run this project hard because you earn so little point for each units.

Your running time seems normal for your computer. Got you many WU´s at the same time?

Lagu :D ;)

[spikey_richie]

I've currently got on my 2 main PCs:

Climate change (20%)
Seti (40%)
WCG (20%)
Leiden(20%)

[Frederic Brillouet]

i finally succeeded in recovering my old client. the new thingie always sees a chance to mess up the client completely

sorry mate

well, i'll keep the thing running again. maybe i can try another client to get higher benchmarks (or whatever goes up)?

(EDITED: there was nothing much here anyway... just keep on reading the next post... :))
