Two week drop in output.

Whitestar · 19 Dec 2006 at 08:50

Well, the christmas holiday is upon me, which means most of my computers switched not on.

Also I figured out why I'm only crunching on a third of my machines. The woman who works with me two days a week has been uninstalling folding because of it sing 100% cpu.

Its my fault really, I should have told her it was there and ok.

Anyway, Sculptor. You have two weeks to TRY to overtake me.

Thanks for the warning. At least we won't all shout at you in the news about the drop in output

Also, stupid woman, what was she thinking??

The slowdown in output will hit many of us with borgs. Mine will die off too at the end of the week. Can't really justify the office network should stay running for a week of no users doing anything

Ditto. Only the server will be on here at the farm (and that can't down/upload units)
So I'll be down a week and a days output.

Whats worse is that I can't do the usual week of leaving the pcs on for 'updates' before the kids come back. Staff come back only a day before the kids.

Thanks Whitestar, theres no way Ill overtake you but Ill try to up my production to help compensate for your PCs not being switched on.
I am on the case as I type and should be able to get my ppd to about 12,000 which aint bad for 15 boxes.

Edit: removed the extra zero.

15 boxes

They most C2D? Probably been asked before, but i've been away for a while.

I think it evens itself out a bit with school and office machines not on, but home machines that aren't normally on will be on all day.

Mines off for a week while im not at my house

Not sure it's really worth putting it on this 2600+, no idea when it was last cleaned inside and as such whether it might overheat :/

As follows:
1 x P4 Prescott @ 3.7GHz
3 x X23800s @ 2.6GHz
6 x Opteron 165s @ 2.6GHz
1 x E6400 @ 3.44GHz
1 x E6600 @ 3.2GHz
1 x Opteron 144 @ 2.8GHz
1 x A64 3500 @ 2.6GHZ
1 x A64 3400 @ 2.6GHz

Hopefully by Christmas all the dual cores will be running the SMP Client, it makes more sense than running the Standard Client along with the GPU Client.
The AMD procs clocked to 2.6GHz can rack up very good PPD, it certainly suprised me.
Anyway dont leave it too long before your PCs are not turned off.
