what should i add then? ( what would be most worthwile ) its been milkyway and seti mostly but will try anything

By all means carry on with MW and Seti, though as an alternative, GPU wise ( I see you have a GTX 560) I'd say GPUGrid, poem@home, collatz conjecture or primegrid. In fact there's a week long GPUGrid challenge going on starting tomorrow, thread is here

CPU wise I'd say Docking, cosmology, malariacontrol, rna world these are all good candidates.

I think I've got about as far as I can on RC5-72 now so going to put my 7970s onto Collatz for a few days before returning them to MW which I have neglected for a bit. I can't find if it is possible to run OGR-27 (the other distributed.net project) on GPU?? It would be good if I could do the same on there as RC5-72.

You've done a cracking job on their Phil, it's gone from being one of our worst to one of our better scoring projects.
AFAIK OGR-27 is CPU only, perhaps we can both have a go at it, maybe in the new year sometime.

Well i'm back.. Good work seems to have been done.

Trying to figure out how to do OGR-27 in linux.. only getting RC5-72 atm.

j_Remos · 21 Dec 2012 at 11:36

OK, well thats sorted. Now how do i create an ID and join OCUK ?

switching projects allways provides such fun......

From our friends at EVGA .. post 46 (I'm sure they won't mind

)
Good to have you back

... and in the guide obviously , navigate to our team page, not theres

j_Remos · 24 Dec 2012 at 11:48

Done.

Looks like i was ranked 115 yesterday... so thats nice.

Might get a nice bump over christmas. Think i'm doing about 30,000 Gnodes a day.

j_Remos · 2 Jan 2013 at 16:19

Getting a few places. Should get a couple a week for a while. Unless i can figure out a way to squeeze more out of these CPUs.

hanluc · 19 Jan 2013 at 21:28

It's that time again, we keep getting stomped on poem@home, so I've switched from linux to windows to prop it up, so I'll have to leave you on your own on eon Phil. Currently doing Malaria control, which I've found runs quicker on windows and RNA world & PSP on the other rig. Progress is slow but we are steadily gaining on 12th.

... well that was short and sweet, no poem work now for my GPU.

PhilthyPhil · 21 Jan 2013 at 09:31

I should have another 3570k up and running in a few days, I'm just waiting for the cooler to arrive. Going to retire the Q6600 then I think.

PhilthyPhil · 24 Jan 2013 at 18:27

jon, have you tried psp on linux?

Yes, but I couldn't get it to work, can't remember exactly why.

hanluc · 27 Jan 2013 at 09:35

Correlizer has work again, I've found also that this project runs around 10% quicker in linux.

j_Remos · 28 Jan 2013 at 15:01

Forgot to restart my Linux VMs after i rebooted my servers. oops. couple of weeks work lost.

Back to work on OGR-27

hanluc · 31 Jan 2013 at 08:42

Poem@home keeps running out of work :mad:

, there seems to be a day or so drought then a couple of days work, frustratingly I never seem to get given a surplus of work, a couple dozen WUs in reserve at most , while other guys crunching this project get given them in the hundreds. I've changed the "maintain enough work" to all sorts but it makes no difference.

I've notice this before with other boinc project on my machines, one will get considerably more work the other, these are similar spec machines crunching the same project. :confused:

j_Remos · 31 Jan 2013 at 10:09

I used to get exactly the same issue on Seti and Rosetta. One machine would have days worth the other struggles to get half a day.

Never could figure out why as they were identical.

Anyway. Shall i stick with OGR-27 or is there any other CPU projects that need more love?

Yeah I dunno either.
OGR-27 is a great choice, besides PSP it's our worst project.

PhilthyPhil · 3 Feb 2013 at 16:11

I've been messing about with PSP today. It turns out it is quite a bit quicker on linux.

On a 3570k@4GHz...

Windows 7: 13.6ms per bit using 64bit llr
Ubuntu 12.04 under vmware: 9.2ms per bit

kerrgreg · 3 Feb 2013 at 17:36

Nice! If you can sacrifice windows completely and go full blown ubuntu then i would expect it to be higher still! .

I couldn't remember before what errors i was getting under linux, anyway I tried it now and I get pushd & popd not found, this is after I do the command: sh 4-quad-start-prpclient.sh ... did you ever get that?
