TPU's WCG/BOINC Team

I just got back from the memorial service for a 16 year old who died from ASPS. https://kickasps.wordpress.com/ LET'S KICK CANCER'S ASS. Kill it. Stuff it. Mount it. Display it in a museum. Right next to the 8 track.

I still would love to see some Epilepsy research going on, but thus far have found squat. I even did a quick Google search to see if there may be some other project outside WCG that does it, but found nothing.

Perhaps consider just donating money? Sure, you miss out on the fun of building up a PC, but a lot of pennies are spent between hardware costs and power costs. A similar amount donated to a charity would likely gain just as much (or dare I say more) research as BOINC would, depending on the organization.
 
Well, I introduced myself and wife to our neighbor and was telling him that I had no dang internet until at least Monday..............Bhahaha, he said I was welcome to "rob" his wireless for a few days! :respect:
So, I have my rig up and running and of course Crunching once again. :rockout:
 
I apologize that this is off topic...

Just saying that I swapped out the avatar back to Jaws. The big guy shark needed some love after a long sabbatical w/ Godzilla :laugh:
 
Mulling over building another 4P Opteron or Xeon E5 V3 system in a month or six weeks, depending on how many of the i5 systems I sell.
 
I am thinking of selling my 2500k, and pentium. Then buying a 4790S and putting it in place of the pentium. Would be a reduction in ppd though.
 
Between the two I get about 6,557 ppd. It might be close ppd wise. @manofthem gets about 5,891 with his 4790 which should perform identically to a 4790s. I would save about 100w of power though with a reduction in about 666 ppd.

The main reason I want to do this is to save some space, and upgrade the living room computer from the pentium. That, and it would be something shiney and new.

You're good with Linux so you should be able to squeeze a little more out of it too. :)

I could get more out of it, but the system runs windows 10 so it is family friendly. It fills a living room htpc role, along with crunching. I want the 4790s for better gaming. It has to be the S variant because it is an mitx case that does not need anymore heat put into it. But I have a secret method I want to try to get the cpu for the astounding deal for $250.
 
Just in to say HI, all is good with me and mum. Keep crunching. (strange white stuff on the ground?)
 
We had some a few weeks ago, more in the forecast late this week.

Have you noticed what's going on with OET? Look at the number of results for the last 2 days. I switched over to OET on the 1st.

Yes I'm getting LOTS of tiny WUs. Like less than 10 minutes on the 2600k. The E5 4667V3 system looks like it's on track to do 100k points today. And nearly 20k from the 2600k system. Crazy.
 
Well, looks like the fun's over. I ended up 4th yesterday with 48K! My results page tripled, but it's now almost back to where it started.

I had a record day too, but only 1/20 what you did. ;)
 
It's starting to get cold up here- time to fire up a few Opteron's!!! :D

Started up my 4P this morning to take the chill out of the house :toast:
 
Not yet cold enough for that to be necessary here. But I figure that when it cools off a bit more outside, one of the 4P setups will be sufficient to keep the room pleasant :)
 
It has been snowing here. It is cold enough where I think I need to start folding again. I stopped because it was just too hot.
 
LOL, yea, speaking of getting cold, we got about 2" of snow last night........And in this God forsaken area, the wind is blowing steady 50mph with gusts well above 60mph today. :banghead:

Last I looked we had a wind chill of 10 F. :twitch: Its frigging cold:(
 
Still warm here in Ohio, 56 degrees right now. We're supposed to have an abnormally warm winter. Something about El Nino or somesuch...
 
I've found someone else who's willing to take two more of my Dell workstations. So moving 20c/40t to a new free-electricity home tomorrow after work :)

I always love when you drop in and say hi. ;) :toast:
 
Selling off my 3770k later this week. It's a decent performer, but the money will be better spent on more parts for another 4P setup or Xeon E5 :toast:
