What equipment have you got?

lopkinfop · 10 Oct 2007 at 16:28

Just wondering how many and what spec computers people are running F@H on.

I have a
P4 HT 3GHz running one client 24/7
T2500 Core2duo 2GHz laptop running one client about 12-16 hrs a day

i cant run 2 on either as i have to use them for other things

i'm going to put an ati 1950 in the p4 at some point as the graphics card in there is too old for pretty much everything and hopefully get a Q6600 or Q6850 after christmas

Hi

I've a Q6600 @3.5ghz running four linuxSMP clients via a pair of VMWare virtual machines 24/7.

It does the job.

A.N.Other · 10 Oct 2007 at 16:53

Q6600 at stock (currently) running 2 x winSMP 24/7 at the moment.

P4 3.00 HT on 5-10 hrs a day with 2 x console clients. Gonna upgrade that to an X2 3800 I've got lying about when I get back home at Christmas.

XP 2500+ sometimes.

XP 2500+ no. 2 ... kindly being run on my behalf.

Also note his one (1) pc is out proforming ALL of my part time machines.

Any way back to the topic in hand - I was going to post a link one of the many 'what have you got' threads but someone been doing some tidying up....

So back to typeing it out long hand
7 P4's (2.66-3.0HT) 1x standard clients (SC) 10h/5d
1 P4's (2.8) 1x standard clients (SC) 24/7
[email protected] 2xSC 10/5 + (WinSMP 24/2)
[email protected] WinSMP 24/7
[email protected] LinuxSMP 16/7
[email protected] 2xSC 10/5 + (WinSMP 24/2)

Q6600 @ 3GHz

4 Linux SMP clients [Native].

Will have an E6600@~3.3GHz in the coming months running at least 1 Linux client natively.

There is also some other computer somewhere dropping the odd 500 points. No idea where it is!

So is that VMWare Server for windows, running two Linux VMWare sessions? What do you allocate 2 CPU's to each session? Then run the SMP client twice in each session?

I might give that a whirl on my dedicated cruncher.

10 x Gerbils, its the way of the future

Yip that's spot-on.

You'll need atleast 1.5gb of RAM to do it, but it runs very well.

221 machines and you only get 13K PPD? That sucks. That's about 60PPD per machine :/

Whitestar · 10 Oct 2007 at 20:52

Ah, that when I'm at full bore. I'm not at full bore at the moment.

At the moment i'm only running

63 x C2D E6300
40 x P4 HT

Plus the odd machine here and there and my machines at home.

SiriusB · 10 Oct 2007 at 20:59

That's still only 100PPD per machine!

Shocking :eek:

All that leccy...

sculptor · 10 Oct 2007 at 21:34

My revised and slimmed down farm using only £3.00 per day for lecky

consists of:

4 x Q6600s @ 3.3GHz running 4 smp clients each (native linux)
1 x E6600 @ 3.2GHz running 1 smp client (native linux)
1 x E6400 @ 3.44GHz running 1 smp client (native linux)
1 x Opteron 165 @ 2.6GHz running 1 smp client (native linux)

I still have some fine tuning to do and may add a couple more quads, Ill see how things go.

edit: forgot my server.
1 x Opteron 144 @ 2.6GHz running 1 Windows client

I did have a look before posting appologies fo those who have done this before

theheyes · 10 Oct 2007 at 21:49

I take it LZ's borgs are in use anyway so its not wasted electricity at least.

Whitestar · 10 Oct 2007 at 23:10

^^^ True forgot to mention that they are only on between 7am and 7 pm most days.

The reasson i've been getting high point over the weekends is because i messed up my WOL configuration, and becasue I don't check EOC that often I had'nt noticed, but thats sorted now.

I know that in terms of points, its better to go for quality rather than quantity. Its easy to get the same PPD with even a 10th of the machines that Iv'e got running, but I'm taking advantage of the situation

theheyes · 10 Oct 2007 at 23:56

Its actually the most efficient way of doing things. If those computers are going to be on between those times anyway its a sin to let all those overheads go to waste. For a small % increase in power consumption they can be folding away rather than sit there idle.
