[MW@h] Parping into the top 20

Berserker · 7 Jul 2010 at 08:17

Double STOMP overnight to Edge. Ouch! Do you have revenge in mind?

edgedemon · 7 Jul 2010 at 10:27

Yes....
But not quite yet, Im trying to hold onto to my seti -ranking, but Im going to....Ooops - nearly told you! Well stomped s'ah - but I will be back...

Berserker · 7 Jul 2010 at 11:18

Has someone been spending money, perchance?

edgedemon · 7 Jul 2010 at 11:39

No, I blew all my money getting a fermi last month, and Im saving for another one as they are pretty good for seti
I do however have 2 cunning little plans - one always needs a solution or two when getting stomped...
I might ..... or I might........

Either way, you have a bit of time but watch your back..

Oh dear. Looks like kolala's oars fell off! STOMPIO!

Been a good race and I thought you might escape. Thankyou!

Now, double pants takedown today then. Parping might not be a good idea!

kolala · 10 Jul 2010 at 10:34

ooops, yes a slight accident trying to use optimized app, it pulled the bung out of the bottom of the barge and lost loads of half finished work, plus finally got some SETI work and that diverted half the powah.

Thanks for setting up the Certs, know why the text is black?

Berserker · 10 Jul 2010 at 10:55

Looks like the palette needs tweaking. I'll get Mr. Halz on the case or have a play with it myself.

Didn't know there were optimized apps - I'm just running the stock stuff.

seems ok with simple use, but tricky with nvidia GPU I'll have to ask mr tbag, he's seen plenty of appinfo.xml action.

edgedemon · 10 Jul 2010 at 12:44

Its just a case of extracting the files and copying the app and app_info into the MW project directory. Stop and restart boinc and you are good to go.
Im running an nvidia gpu and haven't seen anything untoward..

ToxicTBag · 10 Jul 2010 at 13:21

Afternoon all, looking at the last 2 posts does this mean you can use fermi cards on milkyway? Have only used cpu here and there but its not a great producer, would definately do more if you can use fermi gpu....any info greatfully received

edgedemon · 10 Jul 2010 at 13:45

Afraid not Toxic :mad:

We were just talking about the cpu optimised apps.
MW3 is supposed to work with fermi - but it is not officially available and aprt from a few cryptic forum references, I cant find it anywhere..

ToxicTBag · 10 Jul 2010 at 15:07

Hells bells ! Oh well guess i can do some folding till mw3 is freely available thanks Edge

cpu isnt that bad of a producer with the optimzed apps, try em

takes my cpu around an hour and half to complete a wu with em, takes over double that with stock apps

Thanks for that cyclo, just downloaded and dropped the files in, relatively painless! Course i lost the few tasks that were in progress and it does not seem to want to download new ones just yet but will leave it and see what happens

Berserker · 10 Jul 2010 at 15:27

Tried the optimised apps. Promptly crashed three WUs before I stopped it. No idea what I've done wrong but had to go straight back to stock - otherwise I'd be taking my own pants down too! :eek:

but those links don't include an nvidia gpu option, so the appinfo.xml doesn't include a reference for the gpu so the existing wus get dumped ?

So I tried this file
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=628&nowrap=true#40371
as suggested on the MWAH forum and it still dumped them all

I'd be very interested to see what your file looks like mr edgedemon.

Any way the good news is I've put the bung back in , been bailing all night and I am now UNSTOMPED ha.

edit I might have to take that back, there may be a bit of yo-yo-ing.

ToxicTBag · 10 Jul 2010 at 15:29

Sorry to hear that Berserker, i just looked at the instructions followed em, they trashed the 3 in progress when i restarted Boinc but have since downloaded new ones and allready i notice it is much quicker

Did you choose the right version for your CPU? like SSE2, SSE3 etc..

Berserker · 10 Jul 2010 at 16:38

It's a Q6600 so all bar SSE4 (or whatever the latest one is) is fine. I'm using GPU-only though as the last CPU run took about 15 hours. :eek:
