Best Buy was closer, but wouldn't price match the local Fry's, so I drove 20 miles extra and bought mine from Fry's in Tempe yesterday.
Personally I prefer this OLED TV over most of the 4K TV's out there, the quality of the image is much better IMO. At $1499 out the door (they paid for sales...
yeah I added more machines and still couldn't get half of the old PPD. Sad eh?
I do have a trusted host that has full internet access. For F@H I configure a proxy IP & port number for that trusted host to act as the pass-through. I was hoping for something similar in the next project for...
For my rigs the internet connection is pretty restrictive (hence the need for proxy configuration).
Through the proxy I can have the machine download and upload work units no problem, but the proxy is how they reach the internet.
The machines are on a restricted VLAN behind multiple layers...
I forgot to mention RAM.
Every rig I have has at least 96gb of RAM, most are well over that mark.
Grandpa, as you noted I do have a fair number of machines. With that automated operation once configured is crucial as I really don't want to babysit my machines.
Does this change your...
Well, I had hoped to make a run for taking down Anonymous for #1 in F@H. Then PG had to go and make a bigger mess of an already imperfect system leaving me with less than half the point generation I had before. I don't think I need to go into specifics, but if you look at my folding history it...
it's also at the bottom of a riverbead area. It's dry this time of year but come monsoon season it's very much underwater.
IMO it's likely a disgruntled employee
really disappointed with these new WU's
Going from an avg of 9 million PPD to 3.8 million PPD (even though I've added more machines to folding)
Quite a gut punch to go from overtaking Anonymous to falling behind :(
thanks for the info all
Almost all of my boxen are 2x E5-2660's so 32 threads to work with and seem to be running the new WU's just fine with the bigadv flag kept on.
You think it's worth jumping to bigbeta on those or do they not have enough threads & horsepower to make it worthwhile?
what can I say I have a lot of love for Team 33
I was hoping to beat Anonymous before they took away bigadv but that doesn't look like it is gonna happen
Passed the 4 billion mark sometime last month. I'm not currently on any other projects, but I did add 4 more boxen to the lineup today.
Currently in the 8.1 million PPD region, not my best but it's been sustained at this level for quite some time now.
I wish I had the free time to work on this myself but I'm already spread incredibly thin on time with my existing projects.
With the right node communication network (again, I really think Infiniband is ideal, QDR 20 minimum) and the right control interface you could get this working without...
I don't think he's after clustering exactly, but rather High Performance Computing, sometimes referred to as Grid computing.
My understanding of what OP is wanting to do...
Over simplification: The idea is you can take a bunch of nodes and tie them together using a high speed bus interface...
My HPC & grid computing experience is limited to AIX and Linux and has thus far always used Infiniband usually on the gx+ or gx++ side of things, enabling cpu time to be shared across all the systems in the HPC/Grid. I've always wanted to try folding this way but it's not supported in AIX or...
