*THE* FaD Thread

[BCinSC]

Hey D347h - how about temporarily giving 100% to FaD to get us past the Cows?

When you say it doesn't always start right, you mean it snoozes initially? All mine do that and I just right-click, snooze to kick it off.

On a side note, something weird happened to my dual 933. Win2K is nutty - maybe malware induced, but my CPU rating was bouncing all over map: from 40-180 (should be 76). 2 large jobs were rejected as corrupt, so I removed it from the pool. I think it's time to reload OS (was wanting to anyway - been too long)

Have you cleaned up all your unnecessary services running under Win2k?

 

[BadThad]

How long before I show up on the TeAm list in stats?

 

[BCinSC]

Have you complete jobs and uploaded? If yes, then within 6 hours. Next stats update is around 2pm EST.

Just upgraded my ProLiant 1600 from Dual P2/400 to Dual P3/450. I know it doesn't sound like much, but 100MHz combined plus SSE should help.

I'm only running FAD, CB from DC on my comp, MyIE2, M$ Outlook 2k and NAV from software... So, I'm trying my best....
97.14% - 128 hits....

BadThad, did you specify team 2039 in Setup?

 

[SNC]

Up to 30th!!

So, how do the numbers work?


CPU ranking 140
Time comp runs: 16hrs/day

= 2,240 points contributed per day?

 

[BCinSC]

That's about the extent of it.

 

[dxkj]

and right now we are doing about 30-40k points a day?

 

[BCinSC]

37163 so far today and 352795 this week. Bringing up two more P4/2.53GHz/533 now.

Pretty sure. I'll check when I get back to work next Tuesday.

Will the client automatically send and recv work? I left it running, hoping it does.

The client snoozes for the first 15 minutes to allow all other programs that start on startup to get going first and then it stops snoozing automatically. The problem I'm having is sometimes it doesn't start at all. So I click on the shortcut in the startup folder and that doens't work either. Then after a reboot it works perfectly again. Deffinetly not something I'll put on a remote machine.

I've also had a lot of corrupt files recently. I went about a month before getting any but now I've had >10 in the last four days. It isn't related to the machine either because I've experienced it on 4 different boxes.

Thanks for the plug. I'm new to FaD, so I wouldnt be able to help.
I hope one of the other guys will come up with something.

 

[BadThad]

SNC and I made it to the stats page! w00t! I'm at #31 on the TeAm.

 

[Baldy18]

BCinSC has been with FAD longest of those posting in this thread (I think?) so he would be most qualified to write a news article.

It's good to see support rallying already. I can see our rate climbing already.

 

[BCinSC]

I'm working on it, though I think Ranzou may have a "think" or two to say about it. What about mloot defending his place?

Pfft!! Not likely. I've only got my P4A to run FAD on and a few hours a day on my wife's XP 1500+ laptop. You guys will prolly pass me up by the end of the week, I'm sure.

 

[BCinSC]

Preliminary draft for news article. Comments, changes, complete rewrites welcome.

Find-A-Drug Distributed Computing makes huge gains, but needs help.

Back in the top 25 and gaining on the Dutch Power Cows (the group many projects are trying to pass)

Some new blood and many returning crunchers. Come test your metal (er, silicon).

Slick, easy client runs in background using only idle cycles. Can run on across network without remote installs, just point to the master share and start crunching.

Hey BCinSC, I send back this large WU I've got.. 191 hits for the TeAm !!

 

[BCinSC]

Excellent. Click the HISTORY button in the Jon Info window to see how many points it was worth.
