How To: Getting BOINC setup for WCG

[DRDNA]

How do I get on TPU's team for this?
I just installed it on the XP mode and set it up.
brb gotta reboot windows 7 now to set that install in.
EDIT:All set crunch a bunch now for TPU!

Don't run it in XP Mode, run it natively in Windows 7, XP mode isn't nearly as fast for CPU-intensive tasks. I don't know which client you installed, but you should install the x86_64 client (link). It gives about 10% better PPD than the x86 version. That i7 should be incredible for WCG (up to 4K PPD BOINC, 30K WCG, depending on what else you do with it). If you need any more info, check the Essentials thread in my sig

I am running it in windows 7 while running it in Xp at the same time..SO now on the rig in the sig I have two WCG clients running one in Windows 7 one in XP mode and I have one F@H running in xp mode and one F@H running on GPU and one F@H running on Windows 7 CPU......
I think XP mode is turning out better numbers than WIndows 7 is...AT least F@H CPU client is running faster in XP mode...not sure about WCG yet tho..
I had to down clock to 3.8GHZ becuase all that goodness created a mini furnace of about 5000BTU...lolz

wierd the way u set it up but as long ur crunching its all good

Actually I was surprised that XP mode was turning out 30% more on my rig than windows 7 was....But indeed on my rig XP mode is faster than windows 7 with the CPU GUI by 30%.
EDIT: at least wise while both are running simultaneously.

some one else please test this ...this could be very useful for laptop folders!



Sorry dbl post ...got damn excited...


Just doesnt make sence tho.

I just join the Project, I have added my work machine I might install this on my home machines also.

Ok, I finally convinced my friend to crunch for WCG, but he set it up him and isn't crunching for a particular team. How can he join the TPU team? Does he have to go through the Bionic website?

I've been lurking for a while and have decided to go ahead and join the fight. I'll be adding my C2D E8400 and Phenom X3 8450 to the arsenal. I'm sure if I could get my E8400 to 3.6GHz or so that it would put out a lot more, tiem to do some research

Awesome!
Check out this thread to see a simple WCG PPD estimator I wrote if you want PPD estimates for your computers

guys Reefer86 need some Help thanks (i'm lost lol)

'' help sorry to ask but i wen to the link and i already made an account. but on the thread it says click here to make an account and join the team. so im trying to make another account using the link but it is asking me to log in......''

Click My Team to join TPUs team # 22175, you may have to search with that number or by name, TechpowerUp.

EDIT: I really rushed this and its been a while since I had to sign up with the website, but this should get him started, if not he can post up in the thread and the assistance can be much more specific.

 

[Reefer86]

is there any projects we are striving for guys?

Ive managed to join the team btw thanks onedub

We run them all really. Human Pro. can cause issues with some computers, so if you see problems with those WUs, opt out of that project from WCG.com

So basically you're only going to see problems with the Human Pro. Project if you're overclocked? I've been crunching on both of my stock-clocked rigs at for a few weeks now and have seen no errors as of yet.

I think the vast majority of people who have had issues with these WUs are those that are OCed. Before going 24/7 I opted out as a preemptive measure. However there are times where I am assigned these WUs anyway and have had no issues OCed or not.

So if you have had no issues keep crunching them, if you have errors opt out. Whatever you do Crunch Hard

Sidenote: Where has Mike047 been??

 

[hat]

Well my rig is occt linpack/linx/whatever stable forever/7 and HPF still spits out computation error.

 

[Black Panther]

if you run a 64bit OS then you should use 64bit BOINC as its performs a bit better than the 32bit version. you can find it here... http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php

When I download the 64 bit version above I get a "cannot download" error saying "content decoding has failed".

Try this link. A screenshot of the error would also be nice

Crunching for TPU! =)

Welcome.

Crunching for TPU! =)

Awesome, always glad to have another cruncher
Check out the WCG Essentials thread in my sig, it should be of use to you if you haven't already seen it

 

[15th Warlock]

Thanks for your awesome guide

Just joined the TPU team

I have a one year old kid, and I hope to God he never never needs this research, but I also hope we can help other kids and many other people by finding a cure to their problems

Special thanks to Ion for his suggestion

 

[BinaryMage]

Thanks for joining.
We all hope the research is never needed, but in case it is, we're glad to contribute, and it's a lot of fun!

hello to all

I have a little problem with Boinc manager ...

like that

12/16/2009 10:29:41 AM World Community Grid Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
12/16/2009 10:29:41 AM World Community Grid Requesting new tasks

12/16/2009 10:29:43 AM Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.


yes the date is.... 2009 (I need that date to run a software...)

so I open the ports 80,443,31416. same problem

I also have an ideea it's posibile that Boinc Manager to generate same session key base on date tmie?

any new ideea?
