Phil, how do you get high numbers with Dimes? do you just have a lot of machines running?

DIMES is just a case of running lots of machines or VMs.

PhilthyPhil · 30 Jul 2013 at 12:00

I think its a good idea for a few of us to focus on one project... possible candidates: Docking, DPAD, RNA World? We are under 9k vault points on all of those

I'm going to take a break from DPAD when I have reached 120 mil, in just under a month and I'll be up for crunching other things then.

Next team stomp on DPAD is about 45 days, you can't take a break until then!

I have a load of VMs for DIMES, although only 10 of them are working, not sure why. Sometimes you will get a day when points spike hugely for no reason too :confused:

How about DPAD for August?

j_Remos · 30 Jul 2013 at 17:09

Might aswell. Thats what I am working on anyway.

diogenese · 30 Jul 2013 at 19:20

I'm used to be doing DPAD on my own, with a team stomp way in the distance

yo guys i am on the ocuk team but i am not sure where to best put my cpu and gpu to best help out the team my cpu is amd and gpu is amd 7870 tahiti

just let me know how to best help and i will do it with all the power that scotty will give me

p.s. i am using my cpu for world community grid and my gpu for prime grid

hanluc · 1 Aug 2013 at 17:26

Welcome swiftmetal! always good to have new members on board. A few of us are giving DPAD (Muon 1) a Push in August, but really go for whatever you like, WCG & primegrid are good choices, anything on this list is a good choice, you can see what projects support what in terms of CPU & GPU Nvidia/AMD by the icon next to them.

swiftmetal · 1 Aug 2013 at 19:18

Do you do muon 1 via yoyo@home? If not please tell me how

I like the idea of pushing for rc5 72 on my gpu coz we are in a low position and I have had it running via its own client not the boinc but my stats never show on distributed.net or yoyo@home so I am not sure how it works any help on this subject too please

Cheers

PhilthyPhil · 1 Aug 2013 at 20:10

Muon 1 on the standalone client is the one we are concentrating on atm. link

Download the client: http://www.stephenbrooks.org/muon1/v446.zip

Extract the zip and create a text file with contents "[OcUK]swiftmetal" and rename to user.txt

I think thats all you need to do

For RC5, try going here and click i want to join this team

hanluc · 1 Aug 2013 at 20:32

There's an old thread here that goes into a bit more detail for Muon1.
It would be cool if we could get that kind of response again.

..BTW Phil a belated congrats on your 1 billion Milkyway@home milestone :eek:

swiftmetal · 2 Aug 2013 at 09:43

Cheers for the help as of this morning I am running muon 1 and rc5 hope fully it will help

j_Remos · 2 Aug 2013 at 10:14

Every little (or lot ) Helps. With the less popular projects (compared to SETI, Folding@Home etc..) 1 new member can make all the difference.

swiftmetal · 2 Aug 2013 at 10:46

one thing though i have made the user.text file contained in it is [OcUK]swiftmetal i am on the stats page but i am not on the ocuk team stats page or does it take a day?

Maybe its because I have not uploaded anything yet as it seems like you have to finish at least 10 Wu to upload and then I should be there

diogenese · 2 Aug 2013 at 20:25

You can't send results one at a time. Min is ten and it auto sends at 50.
I see you have made it onto the team list now

I'm having a few performance issues with DPAD on my rigs with two cards in, when the GPUs are running they drop the CPU load down to as low as 50%, I've tried altering the number of threads and the background priority but no joy. It's the opposite way round with the rig I have with one GPU, the CPU is a steady +90% and the GPU load drops, but not by much so it'll just have to be the one rig for now.

Biffa · 3 Aug 2013 at 13:22

Are you crunching on both the cpu and cards? Have you tried a third party thread manager?

Yes, well the CPU on Muon and GPUs mining and I have downloaded that Bill's affinity manager thing before that you've mention but to be honest I couldn't get my head round it

Biffa · 3 Aug 2013 at 14:22

Heh.. well it may help, check out this old post of mine here

That is the exact opposite of my experience. I have a 2500k with 4 GPUs and muon 1 is the only project I have managed to run on the CPU without impacting on Milkyway on the GPUs. Do you also have your GPU processes set to normal CPU priority?

hanluc · 3 Aug 2013 at 20:17

Running the Bill2 software and it's a lot better than before. I have the GPUs running 'below normal' and muon1 the same, not sure what they should be, I have tried all sorts.

I've just the one rig on DPAD for now, see how it goes. I've another on Asteroids and another one on Enigma, we've suffered quite a few stomps on those projects as of late.
