And closing fast

http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=team&proj=dpad&team=OcUK+-+Overclockers+UK
Thought it seems to be a two boat fight with me and 1fast6 but he is outproducing me by over 300% now :grr:
My Q6600 at 3Ghz is getting 100,000 Mpts but another 250,000 is needed to keep ahead.
Any takers?
Muon1 DPAD is refining the design of a particle accelerator that is to be built in 2015 in the UK and has doubled the efficiency of the design already.

Muon1 homepage Just download the V4.44d file and extract the folder, edit (or add) the user.txt file with your username ,add an [OcUK] tag to the front of your username to get your scores added to the team score.
Then run muon1_background.exe and ignore! there is a pretty graphical version in there too.
it will run until it has 50 results then auto send them in adout a day and a half for my rig or you can run manualsend.bat when you like. (I tend to do it daily).

There is team stomping to be done too, I have Boinc australia, team picard and starfleet lined up in my sights for imminent boarding

I might be able to help, whats sort of kit does the best work?

shadowscotland · 5 May 2009 at 10:52

so we need at least ten cores at 3Ghz or above - fire wall/autoCad permitting you can have my two.

vertica · 5 May 2009 at 12:34

Can't find a way to configure it to use a proxyserver
if anyone knows then you've got my Q9450 @ 3.7Ghz

diogenese · 5 May 2009 at 13:30

There is a forum for questions here but it's not very active, I think Stephen Brooks who runs it is at a conference in Canada at the moment.
A slightly out of date chart for biffa is here. http://stephenbrooks.org/forum/?thread=521&start=400&bork=jhjshwzlxj

Sorry I can't help with proxy server info

Actually I think one 3.5ghz i7 would do

shadowscotland · 5 May 2009 at 16:21

Well its up and running here - has no effect on my GPU2 client

or CAD so I'm a happy bunny - completed my first two units - when do the stats site update - is it dayly or every 3h or so.
Do you need to shut down prior to manual upload?
Or should I just ignore it - I'm a stats junkie as it is

diogenese · 5 May 2009 at 18:53

If you want to do a manual update it will only let you with ten or more results. You don't have to shut down the program to run the manual update. Then it takes maybe 15 minutes to arrive on the home stat's site and on the free dc one a few hours later when that site does an update

shadowscotland · 5 May 2009 at 21:00

Thanks D - be nice to work on a project with you again.
Missed your insights into the world of DC

Marine Iguana · 5 May 2009 at 23:44

You have my Q9550 @ 3.7 GHz working now

I've had a look about and if you understand this then it might help!
in the config.txt file there is this line

Use proxy server for HTTP downloads (server,port or 'no'): no

In mine it's set to no as I don't have a proxy server, if you do then you need to add your server name and port number to get it to connect. I thinnk!

shadowscotland · 6 May 2009 at 13:10

Score on the doors
uploaded my first 12 results - 0.61% of the team total in rising

Yeah makes sense. Will test later, thankyou.

Quick question: for stats to be added to the team's total, i take it from the OP your username is entered "[OCUK]username" ?

diogenese · 6 May 2009 at 22:14

That's right, just stick [OcUK]name into the user.txt file

diogenese · 6 May 2009 at 22:29

That give a list of four plus a possible biffa, that should be enough to keep them at bay

Q6600 @ 3.0 diogenese
E6750 @ stk Shadow scotland
Q9450 @ 3.7 vertica
Q9550 @ 3.7 Marine Iguana

shadowscotland · 6 May 2009 at 23:05

it's a E6750 stock - my work pc

Edit: No it's a [email protected]

vertica · 6 May 2009 at 23:22

The proxy settings work, so i'm in.

will probably start tomorrow as my rig has decided to become unstable today

Its been rebooting randomly since 3am this morning and has done little DC stuff at all today due to this :mad:

I'm in the process of reseating and reclocking everything. Will run stability tests overnight then see what happens, don't want to be designing a LINAC that creates blackholes now do we

diogenese · 7 May 2009 at 07:30

Any exceptional runs are done 5 times to prevent any errors creeping in and the best and worst results abandoned and the other three are averaged. You get credit for all five though

In results.txt the second line of each result has a

(1905.7 Mpts)

bit in it. if it has done a 5 run check then it will be in the 9500 area.
I seem to get around just under 10% doing 5 runs but I don't know what the average is.

shadowscotland · 7 May 2009 at 13:27

just a word of warning the 353 pts F@H units take a major ppd hit (360ppd down from 4.5k) upping the fahcore affinity does the trick.
not an issue with the larger units.

diogenese · 11 May 2009 at 07:47

Oh well, not enough firepower by a long shot I'm afraid. they are still closing in fast

I have even borged a work PC but I don't know if it can send stuff through the firewall or someone turned it off over the weekend!
