SETI@Home Wow!-Event 2014

[biodoc]

Seems, in my opinion DC now is either totally boring or totally absurd (Bitcoin)

Yeah, it's only TeAm related stuff and races that keep me going. Oh, and my teammates too!

EDIT: I'm in with my GPUs. Hopefully my 2 rigs running linux will get enough AP WUs.

 

[QuietDad]

Just dumped three days worth of suspended network stuff in. Looks like about 23k with a bunch still pending. Might not be much, but everything helps.

 

[petrusbroder]

Yes ... my dump of more than 1550 WUs is successfull.
More than 135K credits validated + at least 160 more WUs "validation pending" + 88WUs "Validation inconclusive". No errors, no invalid WUs (yet ...).
The pending + inconclusive should add som 35 K more ...

 

[minendo]

Count me in.

 

[petrusbroder]

Welcome to the race, minendo! Good to see you!

@ Petrus :thumbsup:

 

[Essence_of_War]

I've got a little Haswell quad-core I have access to for the weekend. Hopefully this will result in a little bump

Every WU helps

But you have to sign up for the points to count for this race - they will still count for you and the TeAm too.

[salvorhardin]

Just dumped a little over 70k worth and still have about 50 pending.

 

[Pokey]

A few odd thoughts:

Peter wasn't fooling around. That was quite a start........... He will be hard to catch. Nice job Peter.............

The guy with the data center is really skewing the numbers.

My group is Pisces, the smallest group. I can only hope we have a heavy hitter or two.

So, we are off and running on a two week marathon. Good luck everybody and keep 'em cool.

 

[petrusbroder]

@Pokey:
Not so hard at all: Your and Lane42's production is twice as high as my, you'll catch up within three days or so ...
My "newest" CPU is a i7-3770, two i7-860, one i7-920, the others are AMD Phenoms (the oldest ones) or C2Q; my highest producing GPU a NVIDIA 670 ... all others are much less.
I am considering some upgrades ...

 

[Pokey]

...........
I am considering some upgrades ...

I understand. I am a total sucker for upgrades................until it comes time to pay.

Not looking bad at all!
As said in a post above: Pokey and Lane42 have passed my initial dump with awesome speed!
<Petrus waves>

 

[biodoc]

Thanks for the stats Peter and Lane42. :thumbsup:

I'm afraid this is the best I can do. All my cpus are in play and I'm using optimized apps from the lunatics website. Unfortunately there is no Seti_v7 cuda app for linux and no AP cuda WUs being distributed so my 660Ti and 570 are idle. My 780TI is actively crunching v7 cuda50 WUs since that card is in my 3930k win8/linux dual boot rig.

 

[Pokey]

Had a little hiccup today.
Woke with all my cruncher's at the login screen. Seems I had some sort of power outage or blink during the night. Then a network switch decided to take a break from the action.................
At least I had completed WU's which did upload after I unclogged the line.................
So back to situation normal...................

Our TeAm Anandtech is doing ok.

My Group (pisces) in this thing is on the bottom. As much I guess because we are the smallest group. It is like that every year. Surely there are as many Pisces as other signs............ Or people aren't fooling around in June like they ought to.............. ()

 

[Assimilator1]

Lol .

Wow, you guys are massively outgunning me! Hmm, I wonder if it's cool enough now for me to run my 2nd PC & GPU crunching?.......

Welcome to the race Biodoc & Joe

Joe
Did you manage to register?

Started a thread at the SETI forums regarding std vs optimised apps on my rig.
Going to switch to optimised apps once I've got some results for my GPU.

Both rigs & both GPUs crunching now but I don't know that I'll be able to leave them all running even just for the race as I don't want my room to be an oven .

Four of our team members are among the top-100:
Pokey, Lane42, petrusbroder and GLeeM!
There are 783 crunchers in the race, and 124 teams!
We are doing good!

 

[Assimilator1]

Congrats on out top 4 being big guns!
And no6 isn't bad at all for us , I thought we'd gained a place until I saw you'd got rid of 'no team' .

Finally got my 5850 to work with SETI (was having 'driver not responding' lock ups), turned out to be an old driver but also the SETI binaries weren't changed when I updated the driver!
Going to try the optimised app latter.

Thx for the stats Petrus

Wow! KWSN have a lot of members in!

 

[GLeeM]

Make that 5! biodoc is now in Top 100 :thumbsup:

Thanks for the stats, petrusbroder

 

[lane42]

Thanks for the stats Petrus

 

[biodoc]

Thanks for the stats, Peter! :thumbsup:

My Q9550 used to be a linux/win7 dual boot but at some point during a linux upgrade, grub screwed up the windows MBR. I fixed that and was able to boot into windows again. After suffering through what seemed like a ton of updates and moving my 660Ti into that machine, I now have my second video card in play. Hopefully that will boost my production a bit.

 

[Pokey]

This years challenge has turned out to be quite the gathering. Over 800 now.

Thanks for the stats, Peter! :thumbsup:

I had pretty much the same experience. Dual booting isn't all it is cracked up to be, especially if it is a long time in between boots. I finally switched back to windows altogether.

GPU's are the way to crunch, at least in seti and folding...................:thumbsup:

Five of our team members are among the top-100:
Pokey, Lane42, petrusbroder, GLeeM and biodoc.
There are 810 crunchers in the race, and 133 teams!
We are doing good, but Team China is coming very strong and may pass us in a day or two.
