Cosmo's rollin good

We're getting a healthy amount of credits every day. Today we were joined by AzErTy, who will probably only stay for a week, but seeing that he's already done 1140 credits in one day (that hasnt finished yet) on his e6400, that week could give us another healthy boost in points. Thanks AzErTy for helping us out, you know I'll give you and your team a hand when you need it on a project.

Also congats to PoorBoy (who will hit 1 mill credits on this project in the near future), Mitchell (who might give ol' PoorBoy a run for his money, given another quad), LeBo (also at a heady 3300 credits as i type), Vaughan (prod those puters, you've got winter so lotsa oc'ing to do heheh), Nflight (nearly 12000 creds mate!), Sou'westerly (got overtaken by Nflight, but hasnt been put off and happily crunches along, also nearing 12000!), sentient_life (also doing the effort for the team!), Liuqyn (huge daily at 1020 credits as i speak), meshmar (10 positions higher today man!)

Congrats team for reaching #1 RAC @cosmo!

We will only be satisfied with 1st in total RAC and total Credits. :icon_lol::icon_lol:

I can't keep it rolling without WUs. Two machines out of WUs, just sitting still. Scott needs to give out more WUs than just a few at a time...:icon_twisted::icon_twisted::icon_twisted:

I've argued that point with Scott to no Avail, he even said he would increase the amount but still hasn't. For some reason he would rather keep the Wu's at the Server than let the hosts have more ... :icon_rolleyes:

My production is down because I'm cutting my clients off during the heat of the day and just running them at night. Come on winter time...:icon_mrgreen:

Last week the temps were over 97°F 5 days straight, today they want it nearly 90° Again. I am in the basement but even so the temps here are abnormally high with temps outside so high, last week it hit 83°F down here, the machine called Rocketship hit 58°C I was about to pull the plug but, didn't. I am still here in the basement and temps are back into the high seventies! Whoopie~! :blob3:

Cooler Temperatures where are you ?

I have noticed that every project that I run is just a little different then the last. Each one takes a little finesse to tweak it to maximum production. I have this perseverance to succeed at getting the most out of my system on every project; Cosmology is no exception. I have succeeded in getting an average of 1900 points three days in a row, this is a tremendous improvement in light of the high temperatures most of us have had to endure these last few weeks here in the Northern Hemisphere. Considering this project has some high points values and I don't think I will reach my personal goal of 1,000,000 by November with out staying on this project for some time. It looks like I planted myself for the time being. As long as the Work Units keep coming I will keep crunching, 1st place here we come~!!! :blob3:

Whoa, you should call that PC the Icebox if it's running @ 58F, I have 1 running @ 70C, now that's a Rocket Ship, temp wise anyway ... :icon_lol:

I corrected my boo boo, Thanks for the heads up PoorBoy ! I usually never let my systems see any daylight above 55°C ~! I am looking to make sure they last a long time! :icon_rolleyes: :blob3:

:icon_lol: ... I knew what you meant but couldn't help myself ... :icon_wink:

The PC that I say is running @ 70C probably really isn't running that hot, 70C is using Core Temp which reads from the center of the Die. If I use Speed Fan the Temp readings are only about 52C for the same PC, Speed Fan reads further out on the Die.

I've read several times that the readings Core Temp gives you that you can take with a grain of salt. But I like to use it because it gives me the highest readings so I can go by that and try and reduce the Temps from there ...

Looks like we may run out of Work tonight, I haven't been able to get any new work for 3-4 hours now with either the Old or New URL ... :icon_rolleyes:

So I've decided to stop the work call on the PC's that still need to be Detached & Reattached to the Project with the new URL. By morning they will be out of work & I'll switch them then. I did manage to get 2 of the Quads switched to the New URL though and will leave work call on them ...

I posted in the Forum about not getting work again but it may be until the morning before Scott gets it fixed ...

I switched my quad over to the new URL and can't get any work.

I have one machine practically empty on the old URL and the other is soon to follow as it seems we are all experiencing this blooper! :-(

I have noticed that all my work in the past 5 or so hours has been placed in pending status, which means I have a lot pending Right now!

There was a message in the message tab that states to detach the Project and re-attach to the correct URL. After I completed that task the Work Units began to flow freely! All is back to Normal...

Good tip Nflight. That worked for me too. :icon_thumright:

I wish BOINC would build in an automatic correction/url update so situations like this, where the project charged its url are fixed without this silly detach / re-attach procedure. It might be OK for one or two PCs but as the pharm grows beyond the teens ... :icon_twisted:

I agree Vaughan, BOINC View makes it some what easier to do but even with just 9 PC's it's still a pain in the rear end ... :icon_lol:

I'm back up to Speed again, I got the PC's all switched over to the new URL and their Caches are full again ... Full Steam ahead and maybe we can catch those French Farts in the next few days if they don't start producing again ... :icon_twisted:

It looks like the Wienie's of the Project have got their way & some sort of Credit Reduction or a different way of giving the Credit has taken place. I notice some of the Wu's receiving Credit are only getting 50 Credits now instead of the usual 60 Credits.

It's hard to tell so far if thats good or bad from the Wu's I've turned in. Some Wu's with shorter run time are getting 60 & some longer ones are getting 50. So Scott may have implemented a Credit Structure like the ABC or APS projects and several others. The Credit is Granted on how much work is actually done or something like that instead of a Fixed Credit System. Thats my take on it anyway as nothings been said about the change in the Forum yet.

Will need a few days to see just how much if any it affects the Total Daily Credit received, it has to affect it to some degree I would suspect if you only get 50 for some of the Wu's now.

PS: The Wu's that are receiving 50 Credits may be just Test Wu's that Scott is releasing because they are a different Series #, not sure about that but I think thats what they are ... :dontknow:

Just noticed we took #1 spot.... GO TEAM

How you like that Poorboy ?

I'll bet Poorboy loves that.:icon_wink:

Way to go Team, a good job by all involved ... :)

Was a busy night not much sleep, Windows did an update, there were ten total, one of them did not like Boinc on One system. Had to remove each one till I found the problem then run diagnostics to solve the issue of a certain non windows program it did not like with a shared file.
I removed the file, Boinc is now running on both systems. File was not even being used by me for over 3 years, now it says it can't do without it. Stupid machine..... hum bug, I will be up to full throttle by tomorrows stats will be right where they should be. Thank god for Regedit and knowing my way around the system pretty well. The point of the this is I have no clue, taking each update and removing it and testing the waters then reinstalling it took alot of time. If you have this happen to you lets hope Windows doesn't do the 10 updates all at once routine again for awhile.

Thats why I Disable Auto Updates, I ain't letting MicroShaft Update anything on my PC's unless I know about it first. Usually when I have to do a OS install all I do is install the OS & then either SP1 or SP2 and then never Update anything else again, they run just fine that way without MicroShafts constant Updating ... :icon_rolleyes:

I agree with Poorboy, I only apply the patches I want and keep auto update disabled on all my machines. I seen it lead to many auto disasters in the past to allow it to run wild on my clients pc's.

Auto Update turned OFF, thanks Guys! I like the reference to MICRO SHAFT, awesome! :icon_wink:

Exactly why did Scott cut the quad cores back to 50 points? I have three duel core and they are all getting 60 points.:(:(:(.....:icon_mad::icon_mad::icon_mad::i con_mad:

I don't know LeBo, I just checked my Quads and it looks like more & more of the Wu's are receiving only 50 Credits. If this is so then it will be another major drop in the Credit given by the Project and & will put it on the Endangered & soon to be Extinct List as far as I'm concerned ... :icon_lol:

I thought yesterday there was a Credit drop but then wasn't sure about it & thought maybe it was only a few Test Wu's. But today it looks almost as if more of the Wu's are receiving 50 rather than 60 so I'm not sure what is going on ...

I posted in the Forum asking nicely about it and will see if Scott answers me, he usually doesn't answer any of my Posts anymore since I made a boo boo in a Post some time ago & I guess It Offended him quite a bit. I didn't mean anything by it & was just using the word to make my Point. So I get the feeling he would just as soon that I leave the Project so if the Credit Drop is such that I'm not happy with it he'll get his wish sooner rather than later.

bummer deal man. :(

That's exactly the way I feel Poorboy..:-(

Still no word on the Credit change if there was one in fact, but still getting a mixture of either 50 or 60 Credits Per Wu. Scott has posted in the Forum since I asked about it but like I said he doesn't usually reply to anything I ask anymore. He may reply later ... :icon_rolleyes:

Poorboy you're the biggest cruncher in this project and Scott doesn't even bother to answer your post on credits. Not exactly good communications considering this project is just starting......:icon_rolleyes::icon_rolleyes::icon_ rolleyes:

8/17/07 @ 10:22 AM CST - Lower Credit for CAMB WUs

50 credit will be awarded from now on for CAMB WUs instead of 60 credits.
____________
Scott Kruger
Project Administrator, Cosmology@Home

He finally made a comment on my Post and made this Announcement in the Announcements Section of the Message Board ... I'm still going to hang with the Project for awhile, 50 Credits is still fairly decent credit & most of the Wu's are only taking 40 min's to 1 hour & 1/2 to do on my Quads. I get a few 2 hr ones but not that many ...

I think I'm holding some of LeBo's credits hostage :icon_redface: just gotta finish some other wu's first, then I'll make sure your creds are granted

HaHa Hehe LOL..:)

Looks like the French Team has all but given up on this Project, for now anyway it seems. We have built up a 130,000 Point lead on them since we took 1'st Place back over. I'm kinda perplexed that they would give up that easily, I thought that they would have put up more of a fight to hold on to 1'st place but I guess not.

I've been in their Forum several times to see if any loose lips would let slip what they were up to but unless they have a Secret Forum like here they really ain't saying anything about it. I did notice though that I'm fondly known as the Turbo One in their Forum ... :icon_lol:
