State of Our Folding

[DaIceMan]

I am running again. Just checked my stats and saw this:

03.20, 6am 3,360 2

Did I get 2 WUs totalling 3,360 points?

Yes, the WU's I referred to that are taking 14hrs to complete are worth 1680 pts each!

Another low point for me...This weekend I'm moving my computer room downstairs so I will probably be down for the better part of the weekend!

I'm going to try to FINALLY get my server room straightened up this weekend. Gonna be without network/internet for the better part of an afternoon while I re-terminate the cables into a patch panel and remove the odd sized cabinet in favor of a rolling rack.





Got a great deal on the rack. My dual card folder, the Folding giveaway machine and UPS will live on the rack in the server room. Got a wall mount rack for the patch panel, with shelves to put my modem, router and switch on. Should clean things up nicely, as well as making troubleshooting much easier when it's done. I'll try to post pictures along the way in a separate thread.

[DaIceMan]

*Note to self: clean the freakin' camera lens!

I got my 8800gt folding again also, but seem to be getting crappy WU's with it or else the MX-2 thermal paste has gotten better over the last couple days - went from 52C max temp to 47C max temp

8800GT GPU1 P5900 420pt WU 2763ppd 2m 11s per step

8800GT GPU2 P5903 1680pt WU 3895ppd 6m 12s per step

Looks like GPU1 (top card) is sitting at 51 deg C and GPU2 (bottom card) is sitting at 47 deg C on the current work units.

i dislike the 2000 and 8000 step units, i want the 480pt units again!

and my cards, even though they have the same thermal compound and fan, one is generally at least 10C colder than the other, 24/7

I got my friend's 9800GTX+ folding for me. My PPD should go up a wee bit. Now I just need my friend's 8800GTS back. He hasn't been folding all week

[smack323]

i am going to get the whole farm fired up for a few days. i just really want to catch dicecca..

[werewolfdaddy]

lost most of my folders. I'm pretty much folding on my own for now. My points should at least stabilize.

[martini161]

ive gotten better at resuming my gpu folding after a gaming session and finally got off my ass and got my points back up

[vicaphit]

My folder is finally back to about 3000 ppd.

[skier]

well the team's average is stabilized, and it seems that the GPU client/Units are as well, as i've gotten 8,900 and 8,100pts the last two days which is very good news overall

[DaIceMan]

power outage nuked most of my last 24 hours on a few machines. turned the pcs on when I got home, forgot to VNC in and start the clients. grrr!

I kicked my office PC back into folding... I just have to turn it off when working on articles as my system bogs when I multitask as I can't stand stutters when scrolling down a web page.

On my third 1800 pointer in three days... killing any good ppd average.

Hope you don't mind if I ask, but what's wrong with your GPU clients? The new clients (1888 point WU) don't seem to lag as much, if any compared to the older WUs. What are you using to fold?

Thanks to my friends, my PPD has been in the 5000s lately. Bad thing is that it's all over the place, but I'll live. Go LR!

[martini161]

anybody here gotten GPU working in linux?

[The Black Pumpkin]

Since I'm back and working on my pcs more, I'm gonna be folding more. Got it running on a skt A Sempron right now, so not many ppd, but I'm back up!

[Sporg]

It sure helps when you put in your personal name and team name...doh! I updated drivers on the rig with the two 9600 GSO cards and updated the folding clients... My PPD should be going back up now....

[Darkstar]

Added a plain vanilla C2D6600/9800GT to the farm, will luck tomorrow i'll get the Skel built with dual 9800GTX and a Quad PhenomII.....



BTW Iceman, waiting for the Server room pics, hows it coming?

[Sporg]

Okay, drivers updated (for all cards), clients updated (on both rigs) and team info updated (derrrr). Kicked out a little over 8k yesterday and will leave my systems unattended for the next few days. Going to Colorado for a wedding, and so long as nothing crazy happens the points should be flowing fairly well.
