F@H Cruncher Slug Out - Mk. II ** In Progress **

Oh noes, I had to power down my main fleet for a while to identify a cruncher that was rattling like mad. Found it. Found a fan had come a bit loose inside and fixed that. Replaced another fan. Removed a few dustbunnies and back on within an hour. :)

Think I found everyone.

I think i found the reason though. I had a look at task manager and the other WU running (on the 4400) is taking up 80-90% of the CPU, does that mean its running on both cores? It was running at 50% before this WU started. Although i dont mind as thats a 376 pointer. :)
Are you sure it's picking up both cores? That doesn't sound right to me.
 
It's not supposed to happen at all (well, sometimes it'll get to say 55%, but that's all). I've never had any rigs do this and I've got one dual core (Yonah), one dual CPU (Xeon), and several HT boxen. Sounds like something's not quite right to me (mobo, BIOS, chipset drivers, I know not which).

Climate models can hog both cores if you're watching the pretty graphics, but that's still two processes.
 
Mr. CSO2_duncandonuts, Sir. Your Stanford stats are showing four active processors. Could it be possible that you have accidentally broken the prescribed competition rules?

Damn Americans (expats included) :p

Oh, and CSO2_Cereal-Cruncher is showing three active, same applies.

I'll waive the incident if you let us know how many points the offending processor(s) claim (assuming there are any such offending processor(s)). Or we can just divide your final points by the number of processors and multiply by 2, your call. :)
 
Yup, that's fine then. I didn't allow for the HT clause. Knew I should have taken precautions to prevent you from running away. Wonder if BillyTheImpaler is game for some cheap internal flights. :p :D

The same may apply to the other one I found, in which case I apologise in both cases.

I also have a Dual Xeon, but it runs HT-less these days because it's over three years old and I'm afraid of it catching senile demeture if I tax it too hard. They're a tad expensive to replace, and I currently have £90 cash and a lot of debt to my name (paid Monday). :(
 
Gone a bit quiet in here. :(

Few obvious runaways at the top (figures), but mid-tables looks close. :eek:
 
I'm happy for you to follow Rich's plan. Finish current work and re-join on Thursday (under a new name), and we'll double the points. Accidents happen and it was clearly an accident, not a deliberate attempt to cheat.

** CSO2_Clever_Nickname (BillyTheImpaler's entry) was found to have been accidentally set up to run Beta workunits, hence the exceptionally high score. This host has been disqualified and BillyTheImpaler will re-enter under a new name on Thursday. Anyone else who hasn't already done so may also enter on Thursday at 8PM BST, and will receive double points for one week. All other rules remain unchanged.

So, dunc has been knocked off his perch by a drunk Scotsman (just not on Welsh Whisky) and someone who likes cereals. Plenty of gainers and losers show that places are still up for grabs.

Until this time tomorrow for the next installment of OcUK host warfare.

Well, first place is looking pretty set, having been the same two days running, but there's still various battles going on throughout the rest of the table. Also, for the first time, the newsmeister has risen from last place. :)

Until tomorrow...
