DHEP speeds

[Empty_5oul]

im curious to know how machiens compare against each other, and wanted to find out how much i was doing per second.

i opened paint and then got my DOS window and did a "print screen", quickly i pasted this into paint and re-opened the DOS window and did "print screen" again.
I then compred the two to see ish how much production i was doing - this is not definate but i think the top line goes year.month.day.time.hr.m.s.fraction of second
and start of the next line is generated [Gen:]

my values were
Gen: 17,363 Time 16:43:01.734
Gen: 17,447 Time 16:43:10.687

Gen: 84 Time 00:00:08.953
The differences being as above and when divided 9.382 per Second on AMD 3200+.
this may be complete rubbish but if you want to plz do it and post your results and processor done on.

[Ototero]

Gen: 874,329 Time 18:06:42.075
Gen: 875,476 Time 18:08:08.589
---------------------------------------
Gen: 1,147 Time 1:17:925

= 14.719 per second on AMD 64 3000+

[BigDawg]

since mine is running as a service, i have taken the total amount of time in seconds 39000 and divided tht into the amount of work i have done 18265944 which comes out to 468.19 per sec. so i think i might be doing something wrong. any ideas???

[Ototero]

You just might be super quick :shock:

[BigDawg]

i am not that lucky :shock:

[Ototero]

read your pm (Bill)

[Empty_5oul]

we will be able to compare tomorrow as on the stats page it has the total number of evaluations for our team.

i did have mine running lke that bill as a service but after a re-boot couldn't get it to work - so with ototero's help switched to cmd line version and now am under the correct team aswell :P

[BigDawg]

Thanks to Ototero i have the bat file running.

Gen 10,819 Time 13:19:00.984
Gen 12,337 Time 13:21:00.750
--------------------------------------
Gen 1,518 Time 2:00.234

= 12.625 per second on AMD 64 3200+

[Empty_5oul]

just out-guns me aswell then bill, i need to get a 64 so i can compete with u guys. when i have my 3200+ and 64 things should level out a bit ;)

[jlangner]

Thanks as well, that really made easy to get going!!! Is there a link on the DCProjects page? I didn't see one yet.

[Beerknurd]

Mine is running without a DOS prompt... The only way I can tell it's running is by looking at the task manager.... Is that the only way to run it??? Is that the fastest way???

[Empty_5oul]

thats the fastest way to run it as displaying stuff takes time and cycles. Leave it for the rest of today and see what your yesterdays score is tomorrow, you can then compare it to the rest of the team - you should also get quite high in the total standings - currently ototero is 6th, im about 25th. ** seeing as you have 2 machines on you ar emore powerful than me so should get on front page as you will be in top 20.

[Beerknurd]

Will do....

[jlangner]

Gen 86720 Time 10:56:00.544
Gen 87290 Time 10:57:00.750
--------------------------------------
Gen 570 Time 1:00

= 9.5 per second on AMD 64 3500+

[Empty_5oul]

i see my way of testing has really taken off lol.

i dont know what avg:1.0 means - the very last bit. i take it avg is average, do other people have 1.0 aswell ??

[jlangner]

I have 1.0 as well. I didn't do printscreen so I maybe off some. I just wrote down 1st 3 numbers and right when hit 0 seconds wrote next 3 then did same 1 minute later. So not 100% accurate on mine but at least pretty accurate.

[jlangner]

I am way disappointed in my numbers though. Do have several background programs open though.

[Beerknurd]

I seem to be gaining nicely... I have already passed you.... :twisted:

[jlangner]

KMA! lol.

On my AMD 1.2 Tbird I am getting:

4.7/sec.

[Empty_5oul]

its better than nothing tho. i think ototero said we needed 11 machines running for a while to rank up, im not sure what speed he meant tho - now he has me (3200), beer (p4 + gateway), jeff (64 3500 + 1.2), bill (64 3200) vaughan (no idea).

thats 7 machines already - most being pretty powerful, hopefully we can take 4th with that, ototero will have to do calculations at some point, see how long or how many more machines we need converted.

[jlangner]

K- I have about 4 pcs at work I can put on tomorrow. Mostly 1.2 tbird or p3.

[BigDawg]

I am way disappointed in my numbers though. Do have several background programs open though.

Did you update your java and ad the java client server path into your wrapper.conf file??? that will make a speed increase if you didnt

[jlangner]

I didn't, I'll try now.

[Empty_5oul]

jeff that would be excellent, that would hit the 11 and hopefully we will be meeting ototero's requirement

[jlangner]

That made a major difference on the Java.

13:42 - 1070
13:43 - 1965

=14.92/sec!

[jlangner]

k-

My 3500 went from 9.5/sec to 14.92/sec

and the Tbird went from 4.7 to 8.58/sec.

[Beerknurd]

How do I update my java??? What path do I use??? Right now it's not running in a dos prompt... How do I change it??

[BigDawg]

woohoo, you mean i actually knew something :shock:

http://myweb.cableone.net/c4guru/bsig1.png

[Empty_5oul]

ototero would that effect me, could i do it and get an increase ? - i dont think i have a wrapper file anymore

-- i see for circuits evaluated we are now in 3rd, ototero what do you take our position fomr, circuits or effort ?

[Ototero]

I haven't changed anything except the xms xmx parms.

Bill, what did you add?


I'm still getting 14.719 per second on AMD 64 3000+

[jlangner]

How can I make my client go fastest? Is it slow because it's written in Java instead of C?
The Server Virtual Machine introduced in Java 1.4 is able to dynamically work out which parts of the code are crucial to the speed of an application, ie. those parts it spends most of its time executing. Then it recompiles these bits into optimized native code for the machine its running on which is no slower than C, answering the second question.
How do I install the Server VM under Linux?
First install Java 1.4.2. Now edit your client script changing the line that looks like ...java -D... so that it looks like ...java -server -D.... Enjoy!
How do I install the Server VM Windows?
First download and install the Java 1.4.2 SDK. Now go to where the SDK was installed (probably c:\j2sdk1.4.2 and go into jre and then into bin. Now copy the folder called server by selecting it and pressing Ctrl-C. Now go to where the Public version of java was installed (probably c:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2 and go into bin and Paste by pressing Ctrl-V. A new folder should appear there called server.
If you used the windows installer or are running your island as a service then go to wherever your client was installed (Program Files/DHE perhaps) and edit (with Notepad for eg.) the wrapper.conf file. Insert the following line anywhere in the file:
wrapper.java.additional.2=-server
Now save wrapper.conf.
If you're using a script (like islandNT.bat) to run your island then edit it (with Notepad for eg.) changing the line that looks like ...java -D... so that it looks like ...java -server -D....
Enjoy!

[BigDawg]

Thanks J, you beat me to it. :D

http://myweb.cableone.net/c4guru/bsig1.png

[Empty_5oul]

is that just what you and bill did then,

add the extra line of code

did you download the java program aswell tho ?

[BigDawg]

go here to get it, yep udated the java to 1.4.2_06 and added the code

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html


:occasion1: woohoo got another star :occasion1:

[jlangner]

Yes you have to do SDK version and copy the "Server" folder as well.

[jlangner]

Beerknurd - Hope you got that rearview mirror - Cause here I come. lol.

[Beerknurd]

I noticed.... I'm doing the server thing now..... Do you add another cpu or did you just do the server thing???

[Empty_5oul]

i just added it from ototeros way of installing it as a executable not a service and it has hardly made a difference. i dont know if i did it right but i C: i found a folder called EvoBIST containing related files, i edited the wrapper.conf in here.

bill i think you had it running the same way as me, have i done it properly or not ????

[BigDawg]

Thats the way i did it. just added the -server. Its easier for me to run it as a service, i loaded it the other way so i could compare stats. still trying to find a way to make it run as fast as ototeros a64 3000. jlangners a64 3500 i can understand being faster.

[Beerknurd]

Is this right??? Why is jlangner kicking my butt?? Do I have the server thing right???

Bill, what did you add?


I'm still getting 14.719 per second on AMD 64 3000+

just the java -server -D, and updated my java. i figured that was the problem when i saw what jlangner posted, because i had the same thing before i read the faq.

on another note, i just read in a forum that if you use IBM's java platform it will run about 30% faster. I am going to experiment with that.

[Beerknurd]

I think I may have downloaded the wrong java.....

I downloaded J2EE 1.4

I should have downloaded J2SE v 1.4.2_06 SDK .


Am I correct???

[BigDawg]

Beer, try puting it here instead, it seems to work faster for me

# Java Library Path (location of Wrapper.DLL or libwrapper.so)
wrapper.java.library.path.1=./
wrapper.java.additional.2=-server

and make this change also

wrapper.app.parameter.6=-i
wrapper.app.parameter.7=5
wrapper.app.parameter.8=-c
wrapper.app.parameter.9=5


and did you update the java and copy the server files into the bin?

--------------------------------------------
Bill

[BigDawg]

I think I may have downloaded the wrong java.....

I downloaded J2EE 1.4

I should have downloaded J2SE v 1.4.2_06 SDK .


Am I correct???

yes that was the wrong one you need the 1.4.2_06

[Beerknurd]

I believe I did it right.....

[Beerknurd]

All I know is I was whoopin Jeff's butt, then He updated his java and started smokin me..... I gotta figure this out quick.....

[BigDawg]

you will have to reboot and then check to see id the service is running

[Beerknurd]

My stas have not moved in a while.... Neither have Jeff's???


I looked in the task list and it says it's running at high priority.....


I'm confused.....

[BigDawg]

it might be one of those things where they run better on amds like lifemapper

[Beerknurd]

Ok well it's going up.... But Jeff's haven't... Maybe he turned it off for the night... I hope so cause I need to catch up.....

[BigDawg]

looks like you should pass him before the nights over

[Ototero]

Beer,

Oli is outperforming you by more than 2:1 :)

[BigDawg]

i cant even run dhep now. when i try it says
java isnt recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

it wont run as a service either, any ideas???????????????

[Ototero]

Go to a DOS prompt and type JAVA, press enter. It should test out ok with java sysntax message.

[BigDawg]

it said the same thing any ideas???

[Ototero]

It would seem that java needs a re-install. What have you done that might have caused that?

I'm using IBM java btw.


(you have crunched some dhep today from the stats :? )

[BigDawg]

well, i tried the ibm java from our download site, dhep wouldnt work so i uninstalled it and tried to put the sun java back on. i thought it was working cause lifemapper is running fine. but i tried so start dhep and thats when i posted silly me. how do i fix this???

[Ototero]

Have a groundhog day and start again from yesterday :lol:

You've had so many version of java installed, it's probably screwed. Have you looked at java in the control panel ?

[BigDawg]

it says i have java2 j2re1.4.2_06 j2sdk1.4.2_06 and same with virtual machine.

[Ototero]

I know it might sound silly, but from my help desk days......have you tried re-booting :roll:

[Beerknurd]

I'm pretty pissed too. I just found out my Dell droped the dhep service early last night. So it hasn't been running.... I had to start it again this morning.... :evil: :mad:

This must be an AMD project.... Stu your kicking my ass....... :shock:

[BigDawg]

only about 12 times,,,,what if i use add remove programs and uninstall all the java, reboot, and install ibm java 1.4.0 , its the one i wanted anyway but i coulndt get dhep to work with it.

[Ototero]

:P Why is everyone having problems except me.

Picking up on something Oli said a while back. I needed 12 people each with 2 machines to be able to crunch enough to make headway.

We're not there yet, but I've seen us move up the daily rankings :D

I wanna get 1/2 billion circuits per day or more :shock: Yesterday we got 214 million.

[Beerknurd]

I'm gonna run it regular.. This whole server thing has been nothing but problems for me. Yall are just gonna have to deal with me getting a puny 33,000,000 per day.

[Empty_5oul]

i think a lot of us have learnt the hard way that you cannot over optimise it, we all originally had it working fine and then got greedy. We should just be happy with what we already have, the comparissons we did we all pretty similar.

[BigDawg]

i wouldnt say that i got it working again and check this out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GEN 16,120 time 06:12:00.527
GEN 21,475 time 06:17:00.497
--------------------------------------------
GEN 5,355 time 5min = 17.85 per sec

[Ototero]

At last. Somebody who out crunches me .


Bottom, bum, bollox etc ;)



What did you do ?

[BigDawg]

i got mad and reinstalled the ibm 1.4 right over the top of everything else and told it to be the java source also. then boom i did 3 different time studies on dhep while the bat was running because i didnt believe those numbers the first 2 time trials lol

[Ototero]

Mines the IBM SDK 1.4

Works well, others, take note.

[BigDawg]

yep, thats the one i got also. I REALLY LIKE IT :P

[Beerknurd]

Is it the same java we were using for Ubero?? And since i'm an idiot, who wants to walk me through setting the IBM Java up??? :roll:

And to start the service what are yall clicking on in your DHE folder???

Cause everytime I try to start it after I close it, it never works right. I have to uninstall and re-install the whole thing over again.

It's been a royal pain in the butt...... I was up till 1:00am last night messing with the stupid thing.....

I cam real close to shutting the whole thing off and running Ubero.....

[Empty_5oul]

bill can you post a new link with the way to do it and easy numbered steps of what to do so everyone can benefit, with a doubling in speed like that we could half the time taken for the next position.

[Ototero]

Beer,

go to a command prompt and type :

java -version


Tell us what it says.

[Beerknurd]

I'm at work so it will be a while. But I will post the results as soon as I get home.....

[BigDawg]

i dont think you guys want to do it the way i did, my java didnt work for 3 hours and i got it working with as much luck as anything. i think someone with a little more java experience is needed for the step by step instructions

[Ototero]

Beer,

download this and start again.

http://www.stats.amdusers.com/Dhep.zip

[Beerknurd]

As soon as I get home I will. Thanks!!!

[Ototero]

Looks like the daily stats are not updating. :cry:

[Beerknurd]

I think their server is down.....

[Empty_5oul]

im cmd prompt i get


java version "1.4.2_06"
Java 2 Runtime environment, standard edition <build 1.4.2_06-b03>
Java Hotspot Client VM <build 1.4.2_06-b03, mixed mode>

is this the newer updated faster one ??

[Ototero]

That looks like SUN java not IBM java

[Jeff]

You can find IBM Java in the downloads section.

[Beerknurd]

Stu...

How many PC's do you have crunchip DHEP?? Is it just 2???

[Ototero]

No 4.

A64 3000
A-M 2200
I 399
I 700

[Beerknurd]

Ohhhh. Cause I thought you were getting 103 million with 2... That makes more sense......

[Empty_5oul]

your production on 2 would have been pretty amazing - it cold be possible with the daily optimisation we seem to achieve though.

sites still down/ not updating - i hope its back by tomorrow unless we have all screwed out clients up totally so they are all non-functional.

[Beerknurd]

java version "1.4.2_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_06-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_06-b03, mixed mode)

That's my java version......

[jlangner]

Yep still down.

[Beerknurd]

dammit.......

[jlangner]

lol - somehow you past me anyway! Just wait till is up.

[Beerknurd]

I creeped up on you last night..... :twisted:

[BigDawg]

i hope it comes back up soon, it is already using almost 200MB of memory and 500MB of my pagefiles, and i would dearly love to dump these
1,160,000 generations onto the server.

[Beerknurd]

I crunched all day with the server down... I hope I didn't loose anything... :?

[BigDawg]

i know , we are in the middle of a storm here. and i think power might go out, it is starting to flicker and my ups is good only for 22 min. Since this is all done in jaava, if you close window or shut down machine you loose all your results right??? :-(

[Ototero]

I don't know, there isn't anything stored (or at least not in an obvious place.)

By the way, Oli, there were 5 active dheppers yesterday.

[Ototero]

DHEP is back up running. :lol: :lol:

[Empty_5oul]

i meant in total for the whole of AMD users, i was gonna say to whoever that guy was who doesnt join any teams - we may not be gaining members so quickly but already have .....

[Ototero]

There are 35 in the team, I'm there twice, bwhite 3 times, goatherder 2 times..

The individual stats are on-line

[Beerknurd]

I put my machines on SOB for now... I have to catch Stuart..... ;)

Or at least in 9th place....

[Empty_5oul]

in SOB are you still storing and sending bulk or block by block ??

yep, i want to be in top 10 aswell beerknurd.

[Beerknurd]

Naw, I just let them go.... They don't seem to be scoring right though... I'll give it 24 hours and then restart them... I should be crunching at 2.6M or 2.8M. But it only has me @ 1.65M or so.... I'll let it catch up.

[Empty_5oul]

i see now a few people are more focused on SOb from recent events we are doing some mege production:



AMD Users - Work sent last hour (in McEM): 231,968
TNT - raching just 30,249
MajorGeeks - just 12,498

Things are picking up and we should have a few more positions shortly,

we need to break some more targets quickly tho,

[jlangner]

Hey I thought this was DHEP thread. Ya'll just changed subject because I am put my machines on it. lol.

[Ototero]

Back on DHEP.....

Crunching for us today:

ototero
jlangner
irdepesca572
Mori
bwhite_a2
Cabanas
AMD_MP_USER

Thanks and welcome to the Big Push.

[vaughan]

I did some too!

[Ototero]

Who's "today" are we talking about ?

I'm looking at a local spreadsheet I knocked up that shows who is crunching at this moment. I've got no results from you (Vaughan) since 8am GMT.

Yesterday, you did a mill and a half.

[jlangner]

I have 6 full time on there now.

[Ototero]

Great, I can see you catching me.

You're 7th fastest in the world today.

We still need more power :P

[jlangner]

Ai Ai captain - but the shields are already stressed, but I'll try my best. :D :D

[Ototero]

He tried to say in a Scottish accent ;) :lol:

[jlangner]

BTW, I don't think you have to worry about me catching you with the lead you have - but I'll try. lol.

[Ototero]

As team leader for this, I want to get to number 1 spot. Probably in 90 days.

But I might have to stick more machines on it to bring the time down.

[jlangner]

I have 2 more I can put on - Hope it helps!

Must have been pretty good accent for you to recognize Scotty. lol.

Update: You got 7 now.

[Empty_5oul]

i know i have asked before but what are you counting the positions under, total circuits evaluated.

1 Sussex 277198338325
2 US-Distributed 43996166838
3 Free-DC 37367053731
4 Team_Picard 33208073282
5 AMD_Users 12084259397

yesterday we were mege out produced by team_pickard in 4th, that is double out output per day :


our yesterday evaluations - 60753025
Team_Picard evaluations - 125044731

[jlangner]

Then we need more power!!

[Ototero]

They are called effort units.

At the mo, we have 12,086,144,197

And are in 5th overall

[jlangner]

I've done 50M since yesterday so we can do it! :D So I bet will be alot closer when updated.

[Empty_5oul]

ototero do you have any other optimisatiosn to make or a way to force the IBM java to be used instead of whatever i am/was using.

[Ototero]

At a command prompt, type java, that'll tell what version you are using.

If it's not ibm, then load it. If it's already loaded, go to control panel, select java icon (there might be 2) make sure each one is pointing to ibm.

Voila.

And I'm using the batch settings that were in the files you loaded.

[Empty_5oul]

k it wasnt even in control panel, in c: i have 3 versions of java:
j2re1.4.0_01
j2re1.4.0_04
j2re1.4.0_06

06 being the one i need loaded, but 1.4.0_01 appearing in control panel.
it is uninstalling as we speak, i will post progress as it happens and hopefully me speed increase

[Empty_5oul]

now in dos i type java -version and get

<build 1.4.2_06-b03>
meaning it should now be correct, however when i run DHEP i am getting speeds of 5.5/sec up to 6/sec - this is shocking for a XP 3200+.

[Ototero]

In the dos box, does it say IBM, mine does.

Are you running anything else apart from WP and TKC

[Empty_5oul]

the exaclt wording does not have IBM in.


java version "1.4.2_06"
Java<tm> 2 Runtime environment, standard edition <build 1.4.2_06-b03>
Java Hotspot<tm> Client VM <build 1.4.2_06-b03, mixed mode>

can i have a new link to the IBM java then plz

[Ototero]

You've got Sun,

Click Downloads on the left Then click java.

[Empty_5oul]

42.9meg !!!!!!

i think i remember starting that download then deciding i would use what i already had - i installed the java version we use at college here. the dl speeds are quite good downloading from this site, sorry if im lagging it for everyone else lol ;)

[Ototero]

I've just DLed it for another machine :?

[Empty_5oul]

would have been quicker to copy and paste wouldnt it, definatley for me using sata drives - amazing data transfer speeds

[Ototero]

Nah, I'm on an 11.b wireless

[Empty_5oul]

java version "1.4.0"
Java<tm> 2 Runtime environment, standard edition <build 1.4.0>
Classic VM <build 1.4.0, J2RE 1.4.0 IBM Windows build cn140-20020902 <JIT enabled: jitc>>


i take it this is finally right, also now in control panel i get IMB java plug-in 1.4.0

is this it ??? i did my test and got 10.3/sec which is better

[Ototero]

Yee ha.

Is that on your 3200+

I'm still getting 14+ on my 64 3000+

yep, still on the 3200+.

to install somewhere else e.g. gateway i install java first then copy over DHEP files and create new / edit batch file as its in a different location.

then it should work immediatley ?

[Ototero]

Yep, that easy.

Go for it.

K - Just put pc #8 on it. Also, I am using Sun Java on all. Is there much difference as far as speed? I am getting 14.92 on 64-3500@2.2ghz.

[BigDawg]

i think it makes a diff. i am getting around 17+/ps on my socket 754 3200+

but the diff between 14 & 17 only ads up to 259,200 over a 24hour period. it makes a diff to me since i am only running one machine, but where as you are running 6+ if you could get a 2per second increase on 5 machines that would be an increase of 864,000 per day.

Congrats jlangner, just Broke 100million in dhep =D< :thumbup:

Jeff,

Oli went from 5.5 to 10.3 on his 3200+ when he switched from Sun to IBM.

[Empty_5oul]

i got a mega boost - i would definatley reccomend it, simple to do aswell.

add / remove programs take ALL java off then dl new java and install, say yes to all and then at end check it is in control panel (imb java plug-in) rather than java plug-in 1.0.06 or whatever it was.

checking the most powerful for today we have:
3rd - ototero
4th - jlanger
7th - gilligans
14th - Empty_5oul

i really cant believe im there from 1 machine, oh well.

[Empty_5oul]

right, its noe on the gateway running under IBM java. installed exactly the same and getting a grand score of 1/second (433MHz)
ohwell, guess it will add to my score a tiny fraction lol :P

[jlangner]

k - I'll try - dang, got to switch 9 pcs. lol. oh well. BTW I put las pc I have on it - so got 9 now. Is that enough to accomplish our goal? BTW congrats yourself - You are Gilligan, right? lol

[jlangner]

Java question - I am running as a service now. With Sun, you had to install Java run time and SDK. After installing you had to copy server folder from sdk to rt. What do you need to do with ibm to run as a service?

[Ototero]

Nothing, there is no server parameter.

[jlangner]

k - Thanks

[Empty_5oul]

so what is the speed increase of running as a service compared to dos box like then - in IBM java, surely the saving isnt that vast.

[jlangner]

no but, since some of mine are at work. Peops would keep closing out the dos box. :D

[Ototero]

From what I've garnered from other forums, the Sun SDK -server parm gives the same speed as IBM java.

I have no comparison times for Dos / CLI.

[Empty_5oul]

k,
i was wondering if there was an equivilent for the -server command that was possible in IBM - then they would be really good lol.

[jlangner]

Then since I am using server parm, I am not going to switch right now.

[jlangner]

My stats haven't gone up in awhile. Is the server down?

[BigDawg]

it must be down. keep getting a socket timeout when trying to connect

[jlangner]

We must have drained all available work - lol.

[Ototero]

Yep, it seems to be down :cry:

[BigDawg]

switced to lifemapper till it comes back up

[jlangner]

All of my pcs are still at 100%, so I assume they are still working and will transmit when back on-line, correct?

[Ototero]

Back online now, we're in no. 2 spot for a while :)

[jlangner]

woohoo! :D

[Beerknurd]

I may stick with SOB for a while.... I'm running at a decent rate... I may switch once I get in 9th....
