BOINC 3.20 available - all standard platforms

[chaz]

I dont install services, so im afraid I wont be of much help there. but, I see in the forums a guy who installed his by typing from command prompt: boinc_cli -install

You think that might work?

I also added 4 processors to my list, compliments of a friend. they are dual CPU machines which I will upgrade when I determine which parts to put in them... Does anyone know what the best AMD pn-for-pin replacement is (I can get tons of older processors) for the P2's and P-Pro's? that are socket 7 from personal experience? Both of the machines (currently dual CPU but can run as quads), have the arbitration logic on the MB to permit uni-processor CPUs to run in an SMP config... (aka, pre Athlon MP on-chip arbitration).. They are true 'servers' with redundant power supplies and split busses .

Will an Athlon 1200 or a bunch of K6's run in this type of config? I honestly have forgotten.

I dont know if you'll find anything to replace the P2's, if I remember right those are the little Nintendo cartridge looking buggers. You could go PIII to replace the PII since the PIII has more cache and higher fsb.Here's what I found:

Pentium II:

32 kB L1 cache
512 kB L2 cache running at half the CPU speed
FSB either 66 or 100 MHz (450 MHz model has 100 MHz)
MMX instructions


Pentium III:

64 kB L1 cache
512 kB L2 cache running at half the CPU speed
FSB either 100 or 133 MHz (450 MHz model has 100 MHz)
MMX and SSE instructions
Then I guess it's whether or not the board will support it also.

About the Socket 7's, need to know if it's a true Socket 7(66fsb) or Super Socket 7(100fsb). If memory serves,some older Socket 7 boards will not support a K6-2/3 because of different voltage requirements.
If your real lucky maybe you can find a K6-III 450, those were the screamers. I used to have one, it gave my Mom's PIII 600 a run for its money.
P-Pro's are another story they are socket 8.

Is there a way to sort the stats on the AMD Users Team page by total work and not averages?

Is there a way to sort the stats on the AMD Users Team page by total work and not averages?

Jeff,
sorry for being gone so long.... I made a big mistake an (OOOOOPS) last night.... accidentally pushed the Vcore the up to the max... *POOF*

As for the sorting by stats in the team page... I passed on the request. It will be added. Since this machine doesn't have my account key, I will have to wait until the main is back and I can grab to cookies/email.


I'm breaking in a new CPU now... ..I decided to bust my piggy bank and go for broke.. Only thing I need now is more registered DRAM. and I'll be able to bring it up fully in Quad channel mode.. For now, she sits here in BIOS.

I hate the factory supplied coolers... they were running at 115F... I don't even have this AS-5 broken in yet and it's running at 101F. The joys of copper over aluminum!!

I also need to find my DVM and calibrate the PS voltages... I replaced that as well . I want them on the snuff... they appear to be off a bit, but the DVM will tell the tail.

When all said & done, I'll have my 3200+ back AND the new machine.

I won't keep up with you 5-10 cpu power users, but I should stay a solid 3rd place in the team from now on...

How *IS* Predictor (mfold + charmms) all running for you (and everyone)?

I have only had one problem. I have a file that is in the transfer tab but it never transfers (3 days now). It keeps saying temporiarly failed transfer. Will try again in X... minutes.

"Predictor@home - 2004-07-14 22:01:03 - Temporarily failed upload of t0212C_1_3121_1_0

Predictor@home - 2004-07-14 22:01:03 - Backing off 1 hours, 2 minutes, and 49 seconds on transfer of file t0212C_1_3121_1_0"

Any suggestions?

Also, I recieved 5 work units, with less than 24 hours deadline. That is too short! I had to go out of town yesterday and with storms around I shut the pc down while I was gone, so they were late getting back. All others give almost a week.

The team is in position 7 now.

I have 6 machines, 2 running Ubero, 2 running Predictor and 2 running D2OL.

There isn't one place to collate all the teams positions so I'll stick them here. You can chastise me later.

The team is in 5th place in Chessbrain.

D2OL is really boring. I need to run something that a P4 will kick ass at. "Like Ubero"

Hey all,

** Predictor was down for about 20 minutes an hour ago (as of
this post ***.


FINALLY, after a hardware failure, corrupted file systems,
power supply failure that undervoltaged the CPU and MB (which
are being repaired under warranty because they were not over
clocked over overvoltage.....

I am just waiting for the last piece... Waiting for my DSL router,
which *conveniently* went out at the same time... (I suspect a
a 'California brownout'..... I should be back up at full speed tomorrow
when the router is reconfigured... It arrived today and I didn't have
time to get it done.

As for predictor.... I have some good news.....

I will be catching up & contributing at a much higher rate now....
While waiting for my A64 3200+ to be repaired/replaced and
then brought back on line, I am enjoying the first of a block of
Sledgehammers (clipped) to emulate an FX-53. It'sprogrammed to
report itself as a FX-53, but is a true Sledge, just unable to run
in SMP mode (the cpu-id pins are clipped)

This is my learning machine and is taking some getting used to in
this configuration. It's 1/2 way between both worlds... You know
this as the Opteron 800-series and the FX-53... It was cut to
make my life easier.

So, learning and recovering aside...


I posted a hundred or so results to Predictor tonight (FINALLY).


Also, Predictor now works ok in 'Windows XP service mode'...

The details are easy (as I think I said before)... and the next update,
which is about to hit test, will give us full distributed computer
RPC capability w/ the GUI fully detached from the 'service'.

Hollar w/ questions....


I would also like to cross-post & go off topic for a sec... and welcome
the new Predictor teams members as well as the new AMD Users to
the group!


I'll heading for dinner now (yes it is late here in PST USA land), but
everything is stable and I'm HUNGRY!!! LOL


Best of regards,
It's good to be back..

I'll share what I know about BOINC projects and Predictor ....
Just ask away.


THanks to all...
BC (Chuck)



PS: Jeff, While AS-5 is curing, is 55C under full load at 2400 Mhz
a normal temp if the chassis is at 30-31C (84F)? It seems a bit high,
but I also knw it takes time for things to cure.


Anyone with an SK8N MB can answer..... I'm running MB drivers 3.77 and BIOS 1007, Corsair CMX512R-3200PT C2.... it's dual-channelling just fine. And I do have the mod in place for quad-channel, if needed.



Again, Catch ya all shortly,
Chuck (BC)
