Proteins at Home

[Nflight]

Well we have a place to call home, our Team is moving up the ladder pretty fast right now as we head into 3rd place. I am only using one of my Computers on this project but after Saturday Afternoon I should have two systems crunching. :blob3:

[PoorBoy]

:icon_eek: ... Have more Coffee Nflight, we've been in 3'rd place since at least early yesterday ... :icon_wink:

:qleft7: Day's to Overtaking BOINC Synergy : 17.37 Days | Gap : 60,993 :qright5: We can do it ... :icon_thumright:

[gatekeeper53]

You guys go fo it!! I just brought 3 more dullies online that I built this week and I'll hold our place in Xlab. God I love Xmas presents from the wife. But, I am getting a little tired of running elec circuits to the bedroom. Next spring I'm going to build a shed in the yard and move my zoo out there.

[Steve Lux]

Make sure you put air conditioning and plumbing in, else the wife'll move back in on ya.

[gatekeeper53]

Already told her she'll be invited out for about an hour about 3 or 4 times a week. lol

[Nflight]

But, I am getting a little tired of running elec circuits to the bedroom. Next spring I'm going to build a shed in the yard and move my zoo out there.

I had to laugh at that comment. MY ZOO ! I have heard a rack of servers called many things just not a ZOO~!

[gatekeeper53]

It's the wife's term. lol Among others at times.

[meshmar]

My small collection has been called the output from a zoo ... a Pile of %$^&.:dontknow:

[Nflight]

Meshmar That is more along the lines of the compliments I recieve, I pile of Roo dung is the best so far! Lately these baby's are my chew toys according to my neices. To young yet to know what they are used for! This afternoon I will be switching my Rocketship over to the Protein Project. I will be leaving the warmth and power with the Zoo Tender, (Go Gatekeeper53)! :blob3:

[PoorBoy]

I just brought 3 more dullies online that I built this week and I'll hold our place in Xlab

I should have 2 more Core 2 Duo's up and running by the end of next week or early the week after. I've had the CPU's, Memory & Video Cards sitting for a month now waiting for the Motherboards to come in. I finally decided to go with a different Motherboard that had the Features I wanted and actually cost $115 less each ...

I had no idea when I would get the other Motherboards so I decided to go this route instead ...

[Steve Lux]

Oh, it was your computers that you were calling your Zoo.

[gatekeeper53]

This is what I had on a "wish list" from a couple of months ago.

The problem is that I had decided I didn't want any more 4800+'s because they run so hot. The wife saw the old list and ordered me 3 of them for christmas. Once the boxes started showing up she just went ahead and told me. No way was I going to pout and tick her off so I'll just have to wait till spring to get what I've been really wanting. I want to try one of those Tyon boards and build a server. The dang boxes are getting out of hand and I think it's time to try putting all of this into racks. Even if I have to find a way to make a cold room. A shed will work but even then I'll have to have two rooms. One to work in and the other for the machines that I can lower the temp in. I just ordered another KVM switch to gang onto the one I got last month. I really like the D-Link so I stayed with that brand, but the cables are out of sight.

Yea Steve I used to name them after the family members that I built them for but I ran out of kids so now I have Zebra, Roo, Cheata, Tiger...........

[Nflight]

Someday I will dream of all those goodies I can add on to my collection. But, for now I just need to get cranking on Proteins at home project. So Rocketship has just signed on, Will see what I can do with these two machines and how fast we achieve #1 place. P.S. Gatekeeper53 you know since you ran out of kids names you could add a few to the corral and keep the wife busy and out of your hair? Just a thought! :blob3:

[Ototero]

What a wife, I want one like that (but I can't because I'm already married and bigamy isn't allowed here)

[PoorBoy]

It looks like Free-DC is going to give the Protein Project a little Push. Bok was there on his own & not really doing that bad by himself, but he's got help now so without any more help here I don't know how long we''ll be able to hold them off ... :help:

[Nflight]

H E L P - I am not sure how much more I can holler I am getting hoarse here! Flags are waiving, maybe if I turned the light on someone could see me over here! :blob3: :blob3: :blob3:

[NeoGen]

I've just reserved some for myself.
I had an idea they were heavy for my machine... but the one it's running now it's at 50% in 15 minutes... is that normal? are they that fast now?

[Nflight]

The work Units they are dishing out right now last from anywhere of 23 minutes down to 11 minutes. Thats pretty fast compared to just two days ago at 1.5 to 3 hours each!

[NeoGen]

This is the kind of workunits I like :)

[Nflight]

Proteins Home page is down. Has anyone else noticed this! According to there foresight they published teh a few items of the project would be down due to a break in classes at the university. I believe we are seeing this happen as you read this.:icon_rolleyes:

[Steve Lux]

This is why I run at least two projects on each system. Chances are that both won't be down at the same time. I despise the thought of wasted capacity.

[Steve Lux]

Congrats to the team! We have reached second place in Proteins@Home (Proteins@Home). However, FreeDC will be taking that place away from us tomorrow.

Yesterday I cranked up my second system to 100% on this project and the stats should show it tomorrow, but I can't make up for what FreeDC can put out. PoorBoy is putting out a massive amount of work - #1 in the world, but it will take more team effort to retain our standing here.

I have a third system that I can eventually bring online for this project, once I get it running. It is being, problematic.

[PoorBoy]

I pulled a few PC's off the Proteins Project for awhile today and put them on the ABC Project, but they'll go back to the Protein Project tonight. I should have a Quad Core up and running later this week, have to see if we can run Free DC back down again or not ...

[vaughan]

I've put an XP3000+ on Proteins to help out. :)

[Beerknurd]

Alright, I am tired of helping hackers... :lol: I am going to put the farm on Proteins@Home or as Terry would call it... "The Zoo" :lol:. I will have 5 PC's on it in the next couple of hours...

[mitchellds]

ok guys,

I just signed up and put 4 dual core pc's on it running split time with another project.

[Beerknurd]

Woo Hoo!!!

:wav:

[Beerknurd]

What is up with this projects pending credit??? I have over 1000 points pending... Geez... Is there a quorum or something??

[Beerknurd]

Ugh... There is a quorum of 2... I hate that... That is why I stopped running Sztaki, they had a quorum of 3... It took over a month for me to get all of my credit. :lol:

[Steve Lux]

Got one of my son's +4800 cores working on Proteins again. (We each have one core working on D2OL and one core on Proteins)

[Beerknurd]

2,242 pending now... :(

[Evil-Dragon]

Still working on this one till i hit 10,000 credits and then i'm on to another project to do the same.

[gatekeeper53]

You can always try for 10,000 in Pi Segment. lol

[PcManiac]

Has anyone else noticed that Proteins@home has been down a lot?
mainly today and yesterday, there will be like an hour where I can't report a project, or get new work ... and the homepage times out too.

[PcManiac]

here are some errors that I am getting .... :

[Steve Lux]

I've just put 3 systems (6 cores) on Proteins. We, the team, are about to lose 4th place to one guy named "Woody Woodpecker" (Team Wristshakers) - how embarrasing. He is the #1 in the world producer for Proteins with a RAC of 6200, so I suppose that is some consolation. Apparently he works for the Finnish government and is a cartoons and blues lover and possibly plays in a band (hence the "Wristshaker" monikker). I was thinking of inviting him to our team, but he seems to be settled with his team name. Here are his web sites: http://www.myspace.com/velipekka and http://www.wristshakers.com/

It will take a day or so for one of the systems to kick in as there are about 16 - 20 hours worth of PI-Segment work left on it.

[Nflight]

From your request I put one of my systems on this project due to Tanpaku server being down!

[Steve Lux]

Thank you for the help Nflight.

[Skuzz]

I moved a couple of cores over this morning.

[Steve Lux]

Thanks Skuzz. Unless the Team wants to stick to Proteins for the long term we won't keep ahead of the Wristshakers team. This guy simply has too much capacity, so we will be losing 4th place.

I see two options:

1) If we just stick a few units on Proteins for the long term we can eventually catch Boinc Synergy and get our placement back by passing them up.

2) We, the team, could really hit Proteins hard for a few weeks and pass them up quickly then leave a few units on to maintain our placement. I don't see this happening very soon due to needing to recover from the PI Segment effort in so many projects.

I have two units (4 cores) that I plan to leave on Proteins for the long term in any instance.

[Steve Lux]

Welcome to Proteins Team Aqua, we appreciate your assistance.

[Steve Lux]

Wheee! Lookout PoorBoy, I'm on your 6! I just passed 50,000 in Proteins today. (toot'n my own horn)

[PoorBoy]

:icon_rolleyes: ... :icon_lol: ... That's why I had rear Bumper Guards installed ... :icon_wink:

[Steve Lux]

Looks like a few of the guys from other teams that had passed me up during the Pi push didn't care for me passing them back up after coming back to Proteins. 3 of 4 have turned up the heat and 2 of them have doubled their output. It's on now. (My new 185 Opteron processor should be in on Wednesday and my RMA'd board should be in next week - ought to be worth about another 500+/day once I get the system going.)

[Steve Lux]

Hey guys, we're doing very well in Proteins. Keep up the great effort everyone!

[AQUAJOE]

Yea looks like we are picking up some on Proteins.

I am still trying to build up a head of steam. I had to shut it all down for 1.5 days Monday night. My firewall hardware blew and I had to build a new one Tuesday.

All is well now.

[Lagu]

That´s good to hear.:)

[Steve Lux]

I lost about 8 hours of production today. My system shut down and started to re-boot. I think my power supply is dying. I have a spare but don't want to take this system down until I build the new unit. If my system keeps crashing I'll have to anyway.

I also need to figure out how to get rid of the darn password request at boot. I did an MS update and suddenly my system started asking for a password. Consequently it won't complete the boot process and the autostart applications won't re-start.

[vaughan]

Google controluserpasswords 2

[Steve Lux]

Yeah, I know the process. But my system tells me there is a file "ginamsi.dll" that is forcing this logon prompt. The problem is that I can't find that file.

Ok, I fixed it. Thank Google. I just put "ginamsi.dll" in Google, did a search and went directly to a solution web site which directed me to the M-$oft solution website.

[Ototero]

I downloaded PowerToys for Windoze XP and set the auto logon there.

[Steve Lux]

Looks like Dr. Dan T. Morris of SETI.USA didn't care for my passing him up in Proteins. He's ramped up his production from 200-300/day to several thousand a day. SETI.USA is now a threat to us. How much of a threat depends on how much he/they ramp/s up. I'll be watching.

[Steve Lux]

About 1500 more team points to go and we will re-pass team SETI.USA to regain 5th place. Unless there is a change in pace we should have them before the weekend is up. (hoping that Dr. Morris isn't paying attention)

Also, just another 9,000 points after team SETI.USA is team Boinc.Synergy, who we can pass up for 4th place.

[Bender10]

I'll give you a hand for a while....

[Steve Lux]

Thanks for the help.

We have taken 5th place back from SETI.USA and it doesn't look like Dr. Dan has reacted yet, so we may be safe for a bit. We are less than 5k from passing up BOINC Synergy and they have yet to turn up their production also. So, 4th place may be ours within the week.

[Steve Lux]

Apparently Dr. Morris was paying attention. He's turned his farm back onto Proteins so SETI.USA has passed us again. We are back down to 6th place. However, I intend remain a thorn in his side in Proteins, so he had better keep at it.

BOINC Synergy still doesn't seem to be paying attention and we are rapidly catching up to them.

[Steve Lux]

We've passed up BOINC Synergy to recover 5th place. They certainly have a lot of members, but only two have turned up production in the last few days - it's not enough to match us so far.

[Steve Lux]

Seems awefully quiet in this thread. Only a few of us quietly crunching away here. I just passed 100,000 in proteins - look out PoorBoy, I'm sneaking up on you..

[Lagu]

Wow, Steve Lux that was amasing. Congrats and well done!:)

[Steve Lux]

Wasn't enough to keep our team placement though. We just lost another position.

[AMDave]

About 9 days away, but the troops are assembled and we are on the march.

Keep that flag up Steve! We are coming.

[Skuzz]

Giving just a little push to help get our positions back. Unfortunately, it can only last a couple of days.

[mitchellds]

I plan to run that next also

[AQUAJOE]

I have been trying to get at least 2 days worth of WU's. I can't get it to work. What do I need to set it to to get it to work?

[Skuzz]

I'm not sure why you can't get work units. I'm keeping a small queue, because I can't keep these machines running too long. My setting for how often I connect to the internet is 0.1 days and I am not having problems getting work units right now. They show they have over 37,000 wu's to hand out.

[Skuzz]

We are back in 5th. :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

[AMDave]

Well done on passing 50K:shocked::blob3::icon_thumright:

[mitchellds]

so how do I get around the daily quota that this proj is telling me I have of 4 wu's per day? I see there is a setting for 5.10.x clients to store more days of work? Is that in play here? Is anyone running that boinc version and see's that it has a effect of the number of wu's that can be downloaded?

[Bender10]

When I look at one of my computers, I see a 100 wu/day quota (boinc 5.8.16).

But, I have run a few wu's prior to this race. PoorBoy may have a better grasp on the wu thing.

[Nflight]

so how do I get around the daily quota that this proj is telling me I have of 4 wu's per day? I see there is a setting for 5.10.x clients to store more days of work? Is that in play here? Is anyone running that boinc version and see's that it has a effect of the number of wu's that can be downloaded?

I am running 5.8.15 and have that setting at 4 days. There is more then 4 WU's per days in my system and all from one download of work from the server. I'd say the system has had a bump up of allowable work Units!

[vaughan]

Is anyone running that boinc version and see's that it has a effect of the number of wu's that can be downloaded?
I'm running 5.10.7 on almost all my PCs but haven't switched fully to Proteins@Home yet. (I'm back in BRS trying to claw back to 2nd :icon_wink: but BigMac can easily stomp me :icon_twisted: and Bok is looming up on my 6 :-()

[Skuzz]

I am running version 5.8.18 and the only problems I have had with WU's is one machine ran up against a 400/day limit one time. That was just on one machine, the others could still download wu's. The only other problem is the servers running out of wu's to send.

[AQUAJOE]

I am running 5.10 and and have it set to 4 days but it is only giving me about 30 hours of work.

And my fastest machine get like 4 hours. I have no clue what the hell is going on.

They all have the same settings.

[mitchellds]

I have the same problem Aquajoe, my fastest 3 machines only get 4 WU's a day, while my slowest machines get all they want. Whats up with this crazy project?

[Bubben]

Maybe this can explain the problem:

I got this from boincstats:

Proteins@home Alpha

It´s a alpha project!

[Skuzz]

It has progressed to Beta.

[Nflight]

I have the same problem Aquajoe, my fastest 3 machines only get 4 WU's a day, while my slowest machines get all they want. Whats up with this crazy project?

I have my system set to connect to Server set at .1 days and the extended to capture up to 4 days. Of this the total of work units currently in my task load is 10. but as soon as two are complete they are reported and 2 more download to fill there place. So an endless stream of work units seems to be available no matter what you set it at, they keep flowing, At least in my viewpoint, Sorry mitchellds that your having such a hard time.

[NeoGen]

Guess that there are not going to be mega-flushes on the 1st day of contest on this project. :icon_rolleyes:

[vaughan]

Aquajoe and mitchellds this might contain the answer you seek. :)

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/sched.php

[AQUAJOE]

I need a translator. I didn't see anything that explained it.

[Nflight]

AquaJoe I just downloaded the 5.10.7, I now have some 50 work units in tasks that I have waiting for my system to Crunch. The newer Boinc OS allows more substantial downloads it seems. I am impressed.

Are you hogging all the work units mitchell? Is this another sabotage? I'm all for keeping the race going though if they get it fixed soon.

[Skuzz]

They are showing they have 24000 wu's to send out.

[Nflight]

It seems to be fixed from my end, all is working and I am downloading sufficient Work.

Woo Hoo Kalamazoo ~!

[Lagu]

Protein works fine for me. First there was no work but after a few hours I got some works.:)

[Steve Lux]

Sorry I have been away for a few weeks. Very long hours at work, but the increase in pay will be appreciated when I take my vacation out to Nevada in the 3rd week of July.

We're making really good headway here for the team. I'm afraid BOINC died on my systems for some reason several days ago. I have reset the project on my system and have e-mailed my son to reset it on the two systems he has running. Yesterday I kept losing power due to severe storms and lightning - finally I just turned it off for several hours last night when it got especially intense.

When I Reset BOINC for Proteins it may have sent me more work units than my system can crunch. I have literally hundreds and hundreds of WU's due by 1 July. BOINC was calculating that I would crunch the WUs in 15 - 17 minutes when in fact my system usually takes around 30 minutes each WU per core. I wish I could OC this system but there are no options for OCing in the BIOS. Ah well, we do what we can.

I don't see any significant increase in effort by the other teams yet in response to our increased output. It's good to see so many joining in the effort to recover our placement.

[Nflight]

June 28, 2007 June 28, 2007 18:00:00
After much hard work, Proteins@Home is ready for a vacation! We hope to finish all the workunits that are currently on our server or being crunched by volunteers over the next couple of weeks. After that, the project will go offline for a few months. We will be posting a progress report on this web site within a week or two. All participants will be notified by email. Meanwhile, many thanks to all of you for your help and participation!

Any as have been affected of such messages? I’ve had it twice this week. That means I lost a lot of crunching hours because I have been out and away to another place. Seems only affected Intel C2D and not AMD´s.

[Skuzz]

This problem has been reported and talked about alot on the proteins forum. The only solution so far is to just abort the offending tasks. I had this hit a couple of my machines one time and they restarted the same wu's all night long (tying up 8 cores of processing power). Maybe they will fix this after their "vacation" it looks to me like they have about a days worth of wu's left on their servers before they go on vacation.

I got home today and found 3 of my rigs had that error, and I run all AMDs.
worst yet, 2 of them had been idle for over a day and the 3rd was down for almost 3.

I'm not getting anymore wu's....

Reset the project. The problem is pretty insidious to the point of killing explorer.exe on my system. If you reset you get a new set of WUs and so far the problem has not reoccurred.

[Strongbow]

Glad you said that, I found my systems explorerless (and BOINC had closed :icon_rolleyes:) a few times, I was testing out beta BOINCs during the racing and I just thought it was due to that!

Hey - I ended up with the top crunching computer in Proteins.:qgreenjumpers:

[PoorBoy]

Reset the project. The problem is pretty insidious to the point of killing explorer.exe on my system. If you reset you get a new set of WUs and so far the problem has not reoccurred.

What Version of the BOINC Clint are you running, if it's the v5.10.0 or up then theres a known bug in the Client that Kills the Explorer & your Desktop goes Blank or should I say theres nothing on the Desktop anymore.

I first reported that bug to the Alpha Test Group but they pretty much ignored me at first. A few days later I reported it again and other people started to chime in too with the same problem. David Anderson himself took a interest in this bug too and instructed Rom Walton to devote his energy to fixing it.

Since then they have released v5.10.11 & v5.10.12 with supposedly fixes to this problem. But with the v5.10.11 I still had it happen a couple of times, but the 2 incidents it happened could have been related to something else, I don't know. The v5.10.12 released is no good either mainly because most people can't get it to install, myself included.

If you experience this problem of the Desktop losing everything then it's probably because the Explorer.exe has been stopped, you can get the Explorer back by bringing up the Task manager with the 3 finger Salute (ctrl\alt\del) then in the Applications Tab choose New Task and just type in explorer & then hit Enter and you Desktop should come back without a re-boot.

Your probably going to lose everything in the Task Bar Tray too, I just manually start up everything thats supposed to go there & then fire up BOINC again and wait for it to happen again. With the v5.10.11 I've only had it happen twice so far, with the v5.10.7 & 8 I had it happen a couple of dozen times, so it less frequent now anyway ...

[Bender10]

Geez, I'm still running down wu's...I guess I got a little greedy...:icon_redface:

Leave a piece of Pi for me?

[Skuzz]

Ahh - so you are why I still have over 3,000 credits pending :icon_razz:

[Jason1478963]

that might be me too. I still have a days work left on a few computers

[NeoGen]

Geez, I'm still running down wu's...I guess I got a little greedy...:icon_redface:

Proteins are good for you, make you strong and healthy! :icon_lol:

But we'll leave some Pi for you guys, just see if you chew your food this time!:icon_razz:

[Bender10]

I'm almost done, this evening I think. I am also down to 1400 'pending'....Whew..

[Steve Lux]

Just a FYI: PC Perspective Killer Frogs (another French team?) is making a run on our position in this project.

[Steve Lux]

All right, now where in the heck has Poorboy gone off to? Here I have been dilligently sneaking up on him in this project for a year or so, and now he's not even there in the stats. What's up with this?

Most of my fun is camping on a project and seeing if someone is interested in keeping their placement.

[Beerknurd]

PoorBoy decided to leave the team. He will probably be moving all of his points away from us.

It was his decision to do so. He is not mad at anyone. He just decided to move on.

[PoorBoy]

He will probably be moving all of his points away from us

Sigh ... Any Points I earned @ any Project while on the AMD Team will stay with the AMD Team @ every Project even though I may no longer be on the Team. Thats the way it should be & thats the way it is in the BOINC Projects unlike a lot of DC Projects where the Credit is lost by the Team if a person leaves, I still get the Personal Credit too no matter where or who I Crunch for.

As Beer said I am not mad @ anyone, I basically just like to crunch on my own & was surprised I stayed on the Team as long as I did. I've had the Itch to move on by myself for a long time and finally pulled the Trigger a few days ago ... :icon_neutral:

[gatekeeper53]

Don't be a stranger, stop by and say hi from time to time. Thanks for all the GREAT numbers that you put up for the team, and I hope you know that your welcome back anytime.

[Steve Lux]

Well, I have to admit I've had that itch every once in a while myself. I tend to get dissapointed that the projects which are important to me aren't as important to others. But, I was married once, I understand dissapointment. Poorboy will be missed, in several ways.

I was wondering what happened to you on BOINCStats and the projects' main sites. Your name was disappearing from our team on all of them. I thought it was a CPID issue like a few people are dealing with. I'm glad it wasn't related to any disagreements with the team like what happened with Dr. Morris recently. It was certainly a pleasure having your workunit crunching domination on our side!

Crunch forth and prosper Poor Boy! :icon_mrgreen:

[Steve Lux]

Looks like Proteins@Home has run out of work and is shutting down for now. On their website they state that they are moving into another location, but for now they don't have anyone to run the project. They are looking for 20 post-doc positions to fill.

As Predictor@Home is also not issuing work (and it doesn't seem I'll get the opportunity to catch Mitchell) I'm moving over to Einstein@Home to help my son get another team ranking before moving back to chase KeithW's heels in D2OL. Someone has to keep that young man working...
