Have you got pie today?

[stinger608]

This just frustrated because ppl with same systems are getting 2k more PPD then me... Ahhhh I could just pull my hair out not being at home to see what's what with that dam thing.

Ah hell bro, run and get ya a good generator and toss that system in the sleeper.

Throw a wireless card in it and do the uploads when you hit the truck stops.

That's some ingenuity for ya and would be pretty baller!

@fullinfusion I haven't checked, but if you feel you ppd is low, check WCG to ensure you're not erroring out any WU's.

However it does take a whole to fully spool up. Also, there are days when output will be slightly inconsistent: 5k one day and 7-8k the next, perhaps due to time of completion/validation of the WU's.

I have noticed this myself. I get better numbers when the work pc rolls from Fri-Mon as well. Good to know about the spooling.

@stinger608 and @manofthem
Stinger I almost spat my coffee onto the windscreen but sadly that won't work. I run a 10000 watt linear amplifier to the cb to talk to Florida, Arizona and Texas when the solar activity is low.. We chat on the lower side band and its nice come winter when we run into freezing fog or drizzle.. The cb s dead key is around 1/2 a watt so I'll dial the amp up to 4-5k and give the mic a quick key up and I'll whistle for a second.. The ice melts and falls off the monkey made antenna and the home made ground plane lol.. See now I'm rambling again. Point being I need to top up the 6 batteries with distilled water too often, and the boss isn't to keen on replacing batteries every few months if I boil them.

And Matt how can I check wcg for any errors using my cell phone. I have the rig set up to report as soon as the job is done.

A link would be great.

 

[fullinfusion]

Found it and no errors at all

[t_ski]

Not so sure on DC update. I would report some nicer numbers if my better half would stop putting the rig to sleep. Boooooooo. Shouldn't happen again tho.
Edit: Keep forgetting to fire up the work pc when I leave as well sometimes. Last night is an example. I may go in tonight to get it going just because.

Go into the BIOS and set a wakeup time for some point after you leave for the day. That way if you forget, the system will automatically power on and start churning away (provided you don't have to log into the PC or that you have BOINC running as a service).

Time for Pie.....!
September 16th, 2014

Are you in our Top 20?

Or almost there?

Spoiler: Positions 21 thru 30 Today

Loooong day.....
THIS tired!

Congrats to All of our crunchers!!!

 

[fullinfusion]

I have a good feeling on today's numbers.. What time zone DC use? Because I'm already showing yesterday and now tonight I'm over 5k or I'm just reading it wrong.. And I'm on the hunt for taking that guy outta the 200000 spot by Friday

The crunching bug is circling and getting ready to strike!

 

[fullinfusion]

Haha hey I was just on the wcg page and I checked and have no errors at all. Put I have 4 pages of pending but haven't got credit for it yet. What's the deal with that?

Oh and called the wife a few min ago.. @4.6 the hottest core is at 62c with fans on lowest speeds.. She's going to 4.7 when I get home for a week and then the mighty 4.8 for a week just to see the difference.. Might even play with the CPU cache to see if it helps out some.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

That sounds like a pretty hot wife.

 

[fullinfusion]

Oh for sure she's hot I'm a lucky man for sure but to my question why do I have 4 pages in pending validation?

 

[manofthem]

Oh for sure she's hot I'm a lucky man for sure but to my question why do I have 4 pages in pending validation?

I can't say why, but don't worry about it. I have "Pending Validation" stretching all the way to like 12 pages, with some scattered "Valids" in between (with 1 "server aborted", which is a first for me), so I say it's nothing to worry about.

Often it takes a while to get validated; C'est la vie!

 

[agent00skid]

Oh for sure she's hot I'm a lucky man for sure but to my question why do I have 4 pages in pending validation?

Most WU's are done by multiple machines, where they are then compared to validate the result. Pending validation just means it's waiting for other machines to finish it, so it can validate the work.

That generally makes there be a certain amount of Pending WU's at all times.

 

[fullinfusion]

So with that said once its been validated my daily PPD should go up?

And matt what was your PPD average using just the 4770k at you ?? Clock speed?

 

[manofthem]

My 4770k is at 4.3ghz and 24/7 crunching averages just under 7k for me, around 6.9k (I averaged it our just the other day and got 6.9k). I think maybe your. 4790k may do a bit better, so I'd expect around 7k or better when fully spooled, especially if you're clocked at 4.6+

 

[agent00skid]

Not really like that. The validation system makes a kind of buffer of WU's to be validated, which means that even if the machine is stopped, points will still trickle in the days after. As long as the machine is running, there will be some amount of WU's to be validated.

Generally it takes a couple of days for the queue to be built up, and PPD to reach it's average.

Oh yes its at 4.6ghz sense saturday. I'll post a screen shot with the time up so no tom foolery is involved. I ran it for 24hrs at 4.8ghz but like a parrot its a new bios and being on the road I can't have a rig bsod on me so I backed it down to where I know its 110% stable. That's why I called the wife to check the temperatures to be sure the silly pump didn't stop and have the CPU throttle way back like it did in the past with a different CPU. But yup nice and cool and when it starts to cool off a bit more I can up the frequency even higher sense I know the inners on this particular chip.. The bios is great that just came out and I have a special platinum 16 GB 2666 kit being sent out in Thursday so crossing my fingers it shows up for Friday. I do know the last set of 2666mhz sticks did work better for me and I do see the drop in certain programs using 2133 sticks but they sure look cool

Now I am all and very happy for you fellers, but could you tone down the "make me jellous" comment section.

 

[mstenholm]

6.5 kPPD @ 4.6 BUT it varies a lot. I had mine off for some time and got around 8 kPPD for the first days when I fired it up again. It beats my 11 thread @ 4.0 GHz by a fair margin. Don't look at my current output since my main rig (the 11 threads) has been on and off.

Canadian friend I'm leaving you in the dust ma manjust kidding. I'm happy we've moved up a few more spots today but I want that 200k spot by Friday but I'll take what I can.

I think the rig is finally starting to spool up

Question to whom can answer:
My RMA GPU is going to be here Friday so if I stop bionic and power down and run some tests on the card to be sure its ok will the rig need to spool back up? I'm confused on that part

As far as I know it takes about a day for your rigs speed and stats to be seen as being as capable as it is. So the longer you run the more often equations are sent your way. If you stop, then once you join back in it starts or spools back in. This is what I gathered from reading previous posts I may be off thou.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

will the rig need to spool back up?

The longer the system is off, the smaller the amount of work is left pending validation. So the answer is, it all depends on how long your system is offline.

Woot!!
