Not to seem like an opportunist, but.... I'm gonna be coming for some Pie in the next week. Better get those CPU's cranked up

Please remember that AMD cards(7970's etc...) are pushing some decent numbers in F@H right now.

I may bring a 7870 over along with the 2 GTX 580's, which are still giving me issues with an internet connection atm :banghead:

TRWOV · Apr 30, 2013

I was wondering why my ppd is going down:

My pendings increased almost twofold :eek:

I guess that some people turned off their GPUs or something. HCC was supposed to end last Wednesday and some might have skipped over the WCG post about the extra WUs. :wtf:

AlienIsGOD · Apr 30, 2013

i may throw one of my gpus towards F@H after HCC gpu units are done, i have a 5 day buffer for work so i still have many wu's left to do (as long as i get them in by due date).

Side note, the 3570K is @ 58-60c at 4ghz while crunching, it idles at 38c

From NRftW (Nut. rice for the world) thread over at WCG forums

"another paper is close to being submitted detailing the new very fast and accurate clustering methods that were developed to deal with the large datasets generated by NRW. The resulting software package Protinifo-cluster is GPU/SSE/AVX accelerated and optimised. It will be released to be used without restriction and should be of use to the general protein folding community. This is the software being used for the re-clustering."

yay GPU optimized software

I saw a posting for a new client on one of my rigs (7.0.60 or 64 IIRC), but when I clicked on the link it was gone. Not finding it on the other clients. Is this new, old or a problematic client?

Peter1986C · Apr 30, 2013

You can download the latest client from the berkeley website, http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php

t_ski · Apr 30, 2013

Yep, I familiar with the site, but just hadn't made it over that way yet. I was hoping for a little feedback from any of you that may have tried it.

I've had no issues with 7.0.42 and 7.0.60 (haven't tried any other revisions)

librin.so.1 · Apr 30, 2013

the latest version - 7.0.65 (this version used to be beta, but got promoted to "recommended" recently) works perfectly fine for me. I recommend getting it, since it not only works fine for me - it's now officially, uhm, recommended, too.

I'm still on 7.0.42 for most of mine (one is 7.0.44 and one is 6-something IIRC). I know there was a big change in function going from 6 to 7 with the GPU configs. I may try this on my Vista rig: it's the one on 7.0.44 (I needed an x86 version for this one) and it seems to crash the most often.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Apr 30, 2013

I'll upgrade my client when the gpu units run out. I am still using the old client with the app info file. Which is working perfect right now. Also I have a couple more rigs waiting for the gpu to dry up so they can start cpu crunching again. Cores, cores, Cores got to have lots of cores.

And Amd will get more of my money soon. I hear FX calling. :toast:

TRWOV · Apr 30, 2013

I want some FX too but I've burned too much money lately

Hopefully the 7870s will sell soon and I'll get a 8350 or at least another 1055t.

8350 is the way to go! Wonderful chip but it does like eat some power and will definitely give your cooling solution a workout :cool:

I would buy another w/o regrets :toast:

librin.so.1 · Apr 30, 2013

For comparison, my OC'ed but undervoltaged FX-8120 system w/out a GPU, w/ one hdd and one additional NIC draws 140-150 watts from the grid when crunching.
I wonder how it would go with more efficient PSU. Gonna swap in a couple of days and see.

I'm actually quite surprised that the power consumption is that low. What are the clocks/voltages?

3.4 GHz on 1.2XV (can't remember the voltage for sure)
I could go higher on that voltage (tested when I used it for my "main" computer ~year ago), but the slight heat output increase makes the cooler fan spin a bit faster [which in turn produces A LOT more noise]. So I am keeping it like this now. As I sleep less than 2 meters away from my computers.

Not bad at all! I personally like having noise when I sleep, so the computers don't bother me at all (otherwise the GTX470s and AMD 4P in particular would be atrocious).

t_ski · May 1, 2013

Please post up if anybody starts running out of GPU work. I'm still going strong ATM.

TRWOV · May 1, 2013

I'm getting some "M" WUs :confused:

HCC WUs usually start with "X". Received 81 "M" tasks today according to the log. First time I've seen them.

manofthem · May 1, 2013

I haz a sad

thinking that my gpus will be sleeping for a little bit. Maybe I'll get a little a gaming in; I've been slacking in my gaming recently.

librin.so.1 · May 1, 2013

@TRWOV Yeah, most of my GPU WUs are prefixed with 'M' now. Haven't seen such codes before either. (half of my non-GPU HCC WUs are also prefixed with 'M' now, too.)

@[Ion] Ditto. Along with my computers, I also have a loud fishtank pump working 24/7 nearby. I can't stand the pitch of its sound without my computers masking the sound, lol. But when the cooler fan of my [almost] dedicated cruncher runs close to 100% speed, it also makes an annoyingly pitched sound. So I keep the temps for the cooler fan to run at ~ 50% speed. Meanwhile, the Corsair water cooler on my main computer is actually louder when the pump is not going at 100% speed, lol.

@t_ski yeah, going strong here, too. I hope there will enough WUs for me to get the golden badge. I crunch a bit more than 4 days of CPU+GPU time of HCC a day && have 15 days CPU+GPU time left for the golden badge. I am counting on 'dem returned/overdue WUs keeping me up with HCC work. *crosses fingers*

OK the flow has stopped for me. Last unit sent four hours ago. 1296 pages in progress and counting down fast.

My rigs wouldn't report their work units earlier today.... had about 4-500 waiting to go in. :confused:

It should be ok now as I have just reported in my remote rigs about 15 minutes ago. Checked the pending validations and found an extra 120 pages waiting to go through.

The current discussion on WCG seems to be saying that the intermittent and resend units may have started flowing (M units?). This may be the beginning of the end
