So does anyone here figure on crunching on the new distributed.net project??
I checked the site, and did not find mention of a new project??
EDIT: Ooops, found it...OGR-26.
The OGR-NG stuff is under the open public testing releases at the moment. I didn't see an OGR-26 when I was looking. I guess I need to go take another look. :)
I think that OGR-NG was the new client software...maybe.
yep, as far as I can tell OGR-NG is the only one out now, OGR-26 is yet to come out. And I gather that stats are a couple days or so at least out in the future yet. Also I gather that this effort won't be as long as the OGR-25 effort was.
wow.... so far I don't see any AMD_Users team in the OGR-NG(26) stats.... bummer... :(
Can't have that as AMD_Users has been in a bunch of projects. So in this evening's distributed.net stats run, yota91 should appear in the OGR-NG status run under the amd_users team. Didn't want to use the brucifer account as the email addy has expired, and I can't move it to any more addy's. I guess over the years I have maxed out the email addy's that can follow one account. I could change the name on the account, but then that would bung up the points in the other distributed.net projects. No tear-jerker anyway as the name is for my heavily modified 91 toyota 4x4 p/u that has been built up for rock crawling. :icon_mrgreen:
From the keyserver stats page on distributed.net some of the "guessers" are estimating that the project should end around February of 2010. So it isn't going to be as long running as the OGR-25 sequence was. And then it will proceed to the OGR-27 evidently.
I'm crunching OGR-NG. It's called OGR-26 on the stats. Which would you prefer I call?
We're in position 77 now.
Hey... :) YOU are the stats guy so you name is whatever your little ole heart desires! :icon_mrgreen:
Yesterday's stats run now has us in #12.Quote:

We are 41st overall and 12th for yesterday.
picky picky :icon_mrgreen:
Well letz see where we end up today in the overall... :icon_mrgreen:
I haven't tried the new OGR application / project yet. Is it still Dnet or a different download? Is it still detected as a Trojan by AVG and Kaspersky?
Couldn't tell you as I'm running it under linux. The client is in the beta/release candidate section of downloads.
OK, where do I find the OGR-NG application?
I looked at distributed.net boy what a confusing site with HEAPS of out of date links. Clients that go back to Windows 3.11, crikey :icon_wink:
Could I find a Windows XP 64bit client? No.
So I d/l the current latest 32 bit Win version and install it.
It's configuration lets me adjust all sorts of weird and many inexplicable things. But only OGR-P2 and RC5-72 ... no OGR-NG anywhere.
Useless pile of $#%$ ... back to BOINC.
pre-release download
enjoy
sorry, no points in today's stats... I was messing with something else and missed the dump time. :( Will get some tomorrow though. :icon_mrgreen:
OK I think I managed to join this project.
One observation so far - when it finishes a "block" the application closes. What part of configuration do I have to adjust to fix this issue?
Never seen that before. What OS are you using it on?
It works out of the box for XP.
Vaughan,
All I can say is :icon_mrgreen:
I have honestly never heard of it doing that either as it is one of if not "the" most stable clients in the DC world. I am assuming that you downloaded the client from the "Pre-release/Beta" clients portion of the download stuff. At that point all you should have to do is to go into the app using "dnetc -config" and take option 1 and enter your email address. Then if you only want to work on ogr-ng(26), just go back into the configuration thing again, take option 2 for performance stuff, then take option 9, and you will then see both RC5-72 and OGR-26. Change that for RC5-72 to be RC5-72=0 (that's a zero) and press enter. The options for item 9 should then look like RC5-77=0, OGR-26
and then back out. and start up the client and it should run just fine and work only on ogr-26. If you still can't get it to work, then PM me your email address, and I will edit a dnetc.ini file for you and email it to you so you can just copy it in, and I'll even email you the correct executable file too. There is not a 64 bit windows XP client.
Bruce
Vaughan, below is what your dnetc.ini file should look like, other of ocourse than the id= line which should reflect the email addy you are using for the project. You can use notepad to edit your dnetc.ini file to look like the example below. You don't need anything else in your dnetc.ini file. It will then load up 25 work units per core and start crucnhing and should run all the way through those and then re-connect with a distributed.net proxy and dor the up/download thing. If your executable file doesn't recognize the parameters in this example dnetc.ini file, then you are using the wrong executable file. Let me know and I will email you the correct one.

Thanks Brucifer.
Mine was like this:

checkpoint-filename=ckpoint
frequent-threshold-checks=0
[misc]
project-priority=OGR-NG,OGR-P2=0,RC5-72=0
run-work-limit=1
[display]
progress-indicator=auto-sense

id=vaughan@whatever.net.au
The real culprit there was that run work limit line which was causing it to run one work unit and then quit.
Anyway, hopefully you are on the road to crunching bliss now!! :icon_mrgreen:
Cool.... :icon_mrgreen:
Good output on the ogr-26 stats run tonight! I see you showed up Vaughan, along with the stats guy Ototero, and a new "participant" :icon_mrgreen:
So we have AMD_Users reflected among all the other long term teams in ogr again now!!
That was me using my other e-mail address.Quote:

Yes please. I guess in theory I should be able to do something with the re-naming on the Dnet site but it isn't user friendly, IMHO.Quote:

My stats system will allow me to use anything you like.
Vaughan the Aussie.
Barbies R Us.
Tinnie.
You choose.
This is SO Vaughan :icon_mrgreen:Quote:

Ahh the smell of T-Bone steaks cooking ... the onions caramelising with just enough beer splashed over them ... 'taties roasting under the Al foil ...
OK I'm hungry now. :icon_mrgreen:
You have a PM.Quote:

However a couple friends started running it at amd_users after all so the team would be placing on the project. So as long as they keep crunching it there then I will with them. If they cool it, then I will too and return here."
I'm still running with you. As the 3x+1 tasks finish up I'll put some more cores on OGR. I can't have you getting too big of a lead now can I? :)
Hey vaughan, betcha my 3x+1 cache finishes before yours.
Then you'll be hunting us both down :P
I'll be the roadkill that you back over as you pull the pharm machinery out of the driveway and head off down the road. LOL
Yes the 3x+1 closing sale has captured our attention.
But we wouldn't be die-hard DC fanatics if we didn't give it a serious thumping in its final throw.
And well that we did as we seem to be gaining from it.
I'd downloaded the '26' clients when the 3x+1 news hit the wire.
so I'm prepped and champing to get some '26' runs on the board
I have given the 10K challenge a hard run over the last year with some very pleasing results, so it is no surprise that I'm looking to go 'classic' again for a while.
... just counting down the wu's as they retreat, thoroughly crunched and beaten, back to the server. ;)
LOL.... if you can bring more on the effort then go for it!! :icon_mrgreen:Quote:

And I realize too that you have the running thing with AMDave with the 3x+1. :) We all get into multiple efforts! I'm glad though that you and Ototero are putting some of your stuff on agr-26 as it's good to see this team in the distributed.net projects as it's one place where you see most of the teams in the DC world making a presence in varying degrees of participation.
I've just hopped on this train. to look how this project does (ran in waaaaay back when i still had my 3000+)
the intel is frying:
core 0 72 degrees
core 1 69 degrees
core 2 65-66 degrees
core 3 67 degrees
(never need to heat my room...)
and in the continuing saga of multiple projects, I'm getting behind in some others that I have been hacking away at over time so I'm gonna slow down here and beef up my points in a couple others that are lagging.....
Is there a team proxy?
It has come to my attention that this lastest OGR challenge is going to be short lived (much like the first round of OGR-24) so I'm thinking of moving some machines over here soon.
I am going to need some direction getting started in this here project. Seeing that I and Jamers have never tried this before, where and how do I sign up?
P.S. I only have one core off a dual core to put on this, is this possible?
Yes, it appears you can select the number of cores to run the client on. I'll post the command switches in the dnet forum for reference.
I don't know what the difference is between Windoze and *nix clients. can't be that much.
