AMD Users Performance Contest - Spring 2005 (Finished!)

[SlackPawn]

Also check the MB with a magnifier in the vicinity of the heat sink attachment points. There might be some screwdriver injuries there. I've salvaged 3 or 4 used MB's by repairing traces in that area.

If you have the old AT split-power-to-mobo plugs, make sure they are the right way round, but I think you have the ATX.
if the power supply has a 120 /240volt switch, make sure it is set right.
test the ram stick in another machine
also, use the CMOS jumper to reset the BIOS
if you have an onboard D-cell battery check the voltage

[Empty_5oul]

it is ATX and we swappd that already for another but no difference.
It has no switch.

We have swapped the RAM out as well.
I will try re-setting the BIOS.

What seemed as a still prey for DMMc has just started moving again on Dnet OGR25! :P

Yep, SB2 is in da house again, and he's probably just getting ready to show us how to really crunch some numbers! :D

[NeoGen]

Well, it's been exactly one month since I started the contest. One month ago by this time I had made the first data collections.

This has been one fiery month I'll say...

17-or-Bust
In a single month of work in 17-or-Bust we produced 107.8 T cEM's, which is around 16% of our team total value. We took over a year to reach our present 666.07 T cEM's, but at this months rate we'd have achieved this very same value in six and a half months. Keep it up gang! :D (Especially Chaz and Vaughan who have been on their own private race nearly since the beggining ;))

DNet OGR25
Again, we produced alot in these mere 31 days of contest. 482,213 GNodes, which is around 18% of our grand total. At this rate we'd have achieved this same position in less than six months, and the Dnet site says we're working on this project for over 4 years? (Is this correct?)

DNet RC5-72
We're getting better and better. In RC5-72 we produced a total of 43,416 Blocks, which is around 30% of our grand total :!: of over 2 years of work on this project. Doing some simple math we can deduce that with 30% in one month, in 3 and a half months at this rate we'd have reached this same stage too.

Find-a-Drug
We got a grand total value of 107,929,656 GFlops which is awesome, and it's smashing compared to the 5,890,344 GFlops that we produced in this month of contest. But I can't tell for how long we've been running it, it doesn't say on the stats page, so maybe the percentage is low (around 5%) because the project is a bit old already? Nevertheless I feel we pushed quite a bit here too this month.

Folding@Home
Another great month for F@H this has been. 57,380 Points gained in a month, and around 15% of our grand total (387,518 Points) is quite a feat. Again I can't tell for how long we've been on it, but I bet it's at least a couple of years already ;)

Grub
What can I say? I'll let the numbers speak by themselves 20,246,668 URL's in one month, out of a total of 91,564,802 URL's made in over a year. Need I say more? :D (Oh yea, it's around 22% :P)

WhatPulse
And to finish in big style, I'll present WhatPulse! Some people must have their fingertips on fire because we had 11,387,962 Keys submitted in the last 31 days :!: Come to think that we only have a grand total of 32,052,933 Keys, that means we produced a whooping 35% of the grand total just this month! :D I just wish I knew for how long are we in this project, but I do know that at this rate we'd have reached this position in about 3 months.


Summing it all, GREAT WORK EVERYONE!!! :D :D :D
Let's make the next month as productive as this first one, shall we? ;)

FRAK!!!

[Empty_5oul]

nice summary neo, its all looking good.

[vaughan]

I agree with Empty_5oul, nice summary. In fact I look forward to the daily updates.


Now, let's see ... what to do about Mr Chaz ... Ooh what's this? a fishtank with an Eheim pump ... sure I can get that thing to hookup for some H2O cooling of the Intel ... mutter, mutter!!!

How the hell do those guys at Free-DC get Xeons so cheap? I had a look around on-line in Aus and they are INCREDIBLY expensive. Might as well wait until the dual cores come out, maybe that will trigger a drop in some of the prices on the old CPUs.

you could pipe all your CPUs together & heat the whole tank for some tropicals !!!

[NeoGen]

I think all of vaughan's CPU's piped together would boil the fish in his tank...

It would have to be something bigger... like a jacuzzi... or even a swimming pool? :P
