SETI@home News Vol. 115 (12/09/2010)

[TheTross]

All my remaining SETI WUs have just been sent

Edge, I detached and reattached einstein and thankfully my lost WUs were resent, so no harm done. Might give it a miss for now trying to build an app_info to get more than one GPU WU running, though it'd still be interesting to see a) if it's possible and b) if there is anything to be gained.

Im uploading - slowly, but about 20 wu's have gone through
About time as I have too amny uploads to get any downloads, so hopefully I can get some once they turn things back on..

edit

Shhhh - dont tell anyone!

Roger that Mr Edge....doh too late

I'm off for the night, as I finally have my first wc loop on test (borrowed some power from another PC). A couple of minor leaks during the painful and back breaking filling exercise (so I'm leaving the rig switched off overnight to ensure it is fully dry), but coolant is finally flowing (in the pipes) !

Pity I'll have to partially drain the system again to connect the waterblock

Mr Toxic, I faithfully predict you'll have an absolute hoot doing this wc stuff!!!

A hoot indeed lol all my parts are here but am not ready mentally for the assault, need a few days of no nonsense with my machines behaving as they should while i keep pencillling in plans, and changeing them 5 minutes later.
I have to be 100% sure of myself before i tackle it and right now there's some pressing issues at The Towers to contend with first.

'Ere...who slammed there foot on the go slow pedal...darn it was doing ok there for a while

**Edit** you really cannot consider going to bed and leave the pc to thoroughly dry out, whats wrong with you peep....turn the hair dryer on it and throw the power switch

 

[Berserker]

Everyone else - like me - uploading did!

9 PCs worth!

 

[ToxicTBag]

Mmmm green with envy i am

Just joined the team

 

[ToxicTBag]

Way to go Mason...glad to have you aboard sah!!

 

[Marine Iguana]

Hello Sah

 

[Mason-]

Hello Does it usually take so long to download tasks? (new to this)

 

[Marine Iguana]

Chances are that everybody is trying get work so the servers will be slow at the moment

 

[TheTross]

Welcome to the team

No, it's normally quick 'n' easy to download tasks but they've had recent issues with the air conditioning so they had to shut down their systems whilst it was sorted. All this means that there's a backlog of results to upload and people in their droves wanting to download new tasks, which obviously leads to slow-downs.

Bear with it, you will get work

 

[Mason-]

Ahhh yeah it's because I had my preferences set strangely it's now working away.

But only with CUDA tasks no CPU tasks as of yet

Another question how do I get a sig like yours?

 

[TheTross]

Halz - one of the members around here - sorted those sigs out for us but I've not seen him around for a little while. There is another site that I think Biffa hosts, but I can't remember what the URL is for that

 

[Biffa]

http://www.teamocuk.co.uk/tsig/setup.php

And Berserker hosts it, I just hacked it together from some other scripts.

Thanks but how do I get it to work?

Look below that's all I get. What do you put for SETI handle?

 

[Marine Iguana]

Should be you user name but I haven't got a clue to be honest

 

[Mason-]

Ah well, is it me or do you get more CUDA tasks than CPU tasks.

I think this is pointless as the majority of people have more CPU cores/threads than GPUs.

 

[Marine Iguana]

GPU's can process work much faster than a CPU so you will get more GPU work

 

[Mason-]

1 GPU core is faster than 4 CPU cores though?

 

[Marine Iguana]

Yup

Your stats will come to life in a few hours after server updates
