Formula Boinc 2017

made a new account and it worked? inaway I set up the other server and after 2 hours of swearing I am going to have to buy another wifi adapter as i can not get a shared connection via ether net, it must be operating system related because if i share the internet on my main pc with win 7 it works Ethernet to Ethernet on a server, yet server to server with win 8.1 on it doesn't.

should i be stuck on 17% though? i mean it might just stay at 17% then shoot to 100 when its completed right?

I think when it's new they do jump around and once it gets settled the percentages get reported better.

Glad you got them going

ozaudio · 13 Apr 2017 at 20:32

I could just swap the wifi from board to board every day to upload/download work but I have a £5 giftcard for argos and a tp link is only a £10

I think you need to work on your cable management skills and keeping your toes out of a photo

ozaudio · 13 Apr 2017 at 20:45

At least the toe nails weren't varnished :eek:

over 11 hours and still not completed many WU's at all

not sure how the other server is doing I need to check it

ozaudio · 14 Apr 2017 at 07:17

seems a and tech took notice of my dirty set up lmao

asked Ba if he fancys running any of his machines on this and hes switch a 48 core xeon over

also figured out why when I use an Ethernet between the 2 system and either share the wifi or bridge connections it drops the internet, because by default the system goes for what its thinks is the best connection , which is the Ethernet, but really there is no net as I was using the Ethernet to bridge the systems, I had to reduce the metric value of the wifi connection to 1 so it forces this to keep connected, I was thenable to bridge a connection. I can keep an eye on both systems a lot easier now!

BaBa · 14 Apr 2017 at 09:13

That 48 cores is a single chip

Having a few WU's complete in 2 seconds is this normal?

Switched another 48 on now.

PDW · 14 Apr 2017 at 09:28

Cool

Yes, some just run a couple of seconds and you get no credit for them !

This is going to be fun

ozaudio · 14 Apr 2017 at 09:29

it will be if all the old timers ive messaged switch over

after a night shift im off to bed now both systems are running without any problems ( touch wood )

hope to see some more members joined up when I wake up ( hopefull )

PDW · 14 Apr 2017 at 15:40

When you wake up you need to check why you aren't reporting any results from those 'new' systems !
Also they are talking about you again and trying to crush our spirit :eek:

But at the same time talking themselves into just getting a bronze medal

10esseeTony · 14 Apr 2017 at 16:26

Oh, I wouldn't say I was talking us into a Bronze. We are just well aware we are taking on what should be a superior team, and would be thrilled to place well enough to maintain our lead over AMD Users in the Marathon.

As for crushing your spirit, I have to admit it's far more satisfying to be crushing you in entirety.

Ok, enough banter. I just wanted to stop in and say hello, and to congratulate you from recovering from a bit of a slow start.

Formula BOINC has never been much fun, but these Sprints were a brilliant idea! And it's good to meet some new IT nutters.

Not one single toe is in this picture, enameled or otherwise.

Hi and welcome

Congratulations on a well framed photo, looks like you play a mean game of Tetris

Now for the love of all that is OCD in this world can you please get those post-it numbers in some sort of logical order :eek:

Shhhhh, maybe he's preparing a MOAB (mother of all bunkers)

Hello and welcome Tony.

10esseeTony · 14 Apr 2017 at 17:17

Not a chance PDW, those Dell's must weigh 60-80 pounds each, and I'm lazy.

MOAB, lol, I like that.

And how much do the post-it notes weigh ?

colinmcr · 14 Apr 2017 at 17:37

Message received with regards to Numberfields, I'm on it. Sorry not been around much dual system still resets on a regular basis so its been idle a long time. Working again so busy busy with other stuff.

The better question would be how hard is it to rename the machines so that I could then move the post it notes to a more logical order.

Oh, boy, one MOAB and another power user to fend off.
