I just want to give a huge shout out to stinger608 for hooking me up with a copy of L4D2! Not only is he rocking the crunching but he's also helping fellow crunchers! Dano, you're the man for real :respect:

Observations about MCM so far:
PPD seems to be considerably down from FAAH. Not sure on the specifics, but my average has dropped by 2k PPD already since switching over from pure FAAH to a MCM (and I'm sure that there is still some FAAH stuff getting validated).

RAM usage seems lower than FAAH, not to mention CEP2. Windows and Linux are both seeing just under 50MB/WU. Awesome!

Effective load on the CPU seems lower. My i7 QM, which is by far the most temperature-sensitive of the systems I have going, is down about 10-12C. Rather enormous. The ULV C2D is showing a decline of about 6C.

WU runtimes are highly variable. The QM i7 has two WUs at about 88% complete right now, one with just over two hours of CPU time and the other with about ten. I'm seeing this same thing on several systems, too.

I would agree that the CPU load seems lighter. While the temps are still running about the same, my PC seems a little more responsive while they're running, at least compared to CEP2.

The first 10,000 WUs were a test run AFAIK. The scientists are going to certify the results before going in full swing.

That might explain why I ran out of them already for a brief while.

Can anybody tell me what a couple of Intel Xeon L5639s might do PPD?

[Ion] · Nov 12, 2013

What clockspeed? What OS? Linux at stock, probably 8k PPD. Windows at stock, probably 5.5k. Generally an i7-920 @ 3.5GHz will get 4.5k PPD, and I'd suspect that they would be about the same clock-for-clock.

t_ski · Nov 12, 2013

The guy said his max clocks were 20x182=3640MHz. Not sure if this is a step up from my 3770K rig.

That's like a 75% OC! :eek:

If they can hold that stable, damn. Probably 9k in Windows and 12k or more in Linux.

Is this something that you've found over at [H]?

He said it depended on workload, but that was the max before the USB got flakey.

No, somewhere else

Mine is at 2.8Ghz and gets near 5k ppd in W7. I ran a 980X for awhile and it got 10-12k ppd @4.1Ghz in Linux.

Nordic · Nov 12, 2013

My minty 2500k appears to be turning off on its own making me loose ppd. I don't know why. I lowered the clock my 100mhz just to be sure, although this cpu has been stable at 4.5ghz for over a year at those settings.

Ohhhh, right. I was looking at the wrong CPUs. These are six-core CPUs. t_ski, up my PPD estimates by 50%.

W1zzard has now graciously added wcgsig.com to the list of allowed domains for signatures, so anyone who wants can now get an exciting WCG signature like you see here :toast:

Visit http://wcgsig.com to request one!

Great, but I will continue to use the multi-project one from Free-DC that I use now.

Been doing another YT video for the past six days. And gee, video making /editing is HARD. I finally finished it. ...two days overdue of my original deadline
Been working on it so much non-stop, I now reek, am hungry like a wolf in winter, my hands are shaking like a leaf and my back hurts like no idea what.
I say: screw this! And so despite all the protests, just informed my "employer" that I am taking a vacation. Conveniently, during that crunching challenge. :laugh:

Okay time to get some of that well-deserved sleep. phew... :ohwell:

MCM project paused

FYI- this project hit a snag:

Temporary pause for the Mapping Cancer Markers project

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We launched the Mapping Cancer Markers project this week and accelerated the first batch so that we could check the results sooner for any anomalies. Unfortunately, we found a limitation with the default random number generator being used for the project. The increased volume of results revealed some duplication of computation due to this. That is, the results computed are valid and correct, but in some cases they are duplicated instead of exploring new regions of the search space. For this reason, we are temporarily pausing the project and making some code changes to improve the random number generator usage. We will run a brief beta test for this change and if all looks good, will soon (in a few days) resume the project at full speed. The nature of research is that it often contains unexpected surprises and this is just one of them. Members will receive the normal credits for the work already performed. Thank you for your contributions and support of the project and more importantly thank you for your patience with this.

Should be resolved soon but in the meantime, adjust your rigs accordingly...

Mine has non-functional USB ports. When the guy told me I thought it would be a burnt fuse but they seem alright. Then I thought, "bad bios flash" (my Z77X-OC had a similar problem due to a bad flash) but that wasn't it either.

Meh, whatever, throw in a $5 USB card and done. I got the board for pennies so if it ends un working fine that's a win for me.

i also had that board ... good board indeed but the refresh with front usb 3.0 header is a bit better, tho both the original and refresh have a weak power phase (4+1 iirc)

the AM2+ rig nostalgia is currently crunching. (well better than nothing ... )
