"...can we break the 500k per week barrier?" - yes we can! :D
Way to go everyone - another team position very soon and another big Team-Tiffy!!!
Sorry anyone who's not been mentioned - you know what to do now

GRRR, I have cold boot issues at 15C LOL!!!

Crashes just as it loads F@H, yet when I restart its fine and its fine until I shut it down 16 hours later.

A string of carp WUs, SSE boost disabling every crash leaving me with 2+hour per update times doesn't help :(

So carp week from me, even with my 2000PPD conroe :(
 
Ah well, I made 300,000 in the end, just 10 days late...

nice tiffy that polomint - lot's of o's in that number :)

Team stomp last week, another this (and looks like one next week too) Team 10 it's on the move :D and the only way is up.

Welcome new folder all, and to the recient recruits that are already in the browns and reds, nice! keep up the good work people. :D

Thanks for the news rich - what would we do without you.

Dispite my best effort to leave work on time (still here now btw) it's not working, however it has ment my weekly total remained above 10K.
So bad week for me but good for the science.

Edit: Oh yes got a little something stealthy planed for the weekend ;)

This team never ceases to amaze me. The old burgundy paintjob is barely dry and we'll have to be getting the red paint out soon :p

Thanks again for the news and thanks to the team, particularly our highest producers for keeping things lively. :)

Just an update on my situation and upcoming increases in production.
I shall start phase 2 of the media centre soon, which means upgrading the cpu fan and overclocking the 3200+ to at least 3500+ speeds, more likely 3800+ speeds, and it will continue to be on 24/7.
Phase 6 or 7 (i've lost count) of the opty will begin, which will involve about my third attempt to silence the damn thing. I think the problem lies in a really bad case in a bad place, but a 2nd drive silencer and some further tweaking should help.
I also need to look at getting surge protection and ups protection for the media centre and ups protection for the opty.
The fileserver is also going into phase 2, and i'll be getting a new board/cpu/ram for that, not sure what yet but it needs more ram and needs to be within a budget of around £100 for those parts. The current stuff was only a temporary solution to see if it would work and it does, however i have run out of pci slots so its time for an upgrade to something a little more powerfull. Not quite sure what yet, i'll have to see what i can find on the 'bay.
I never got round to overclocking the opty again, so i'll do that shortly and i can do it properly this time without dodgy ram.
 
Woohoo! a 25k tiffykat and making it to page 1 with a 5.5k dump.

It was a good week. :D

Well done all, we'll be top 40 before you know it at this rate. :cool:
 
Thanks for the news, Rich!

YEY 70,000 ... I thought I'd never get there, but finally my X2 3800 is behaving itself again (now to OC it once more :cool:!). I've also turned an old PC into a media centre, so that might be getting a bit more use now and I've borged a 3.00 P4 Dell. Together, that should bump up my production a fair bit!

It's amazing how the team is taking off at the moment - almost bright red! Lots of new people joining as well ... welcome all!

Well done team for a super stomp :)

and well done polomint for an excellent tiffy \0/



not a very good week for me.. might have something to do with that my main rig developed a HDD fault.. and I used a drive from another one..
 
A good week for the team :) , but a poor one for me :(

For some oddity the PC does the Amber WU's OK, but most Gromacs crash. :mad: The PC, an Athlon XP3500+ isn't even clocked :( Ho hum, maybe it's time for a Conroe :D

Click to expand...
I'd be looking at the RAM then maybe

what messages do you get - or does the whole system just crash?

edit: actually what are your temps like? Gromacs uses SSE but Amber does not use any optimisations
try running StressCPU which uses part of the Gromacs code and see if that replicates the problem for you
