Two more WU's and I'm in the Top 100!!

[toomnymods]

Didn't think I'd ever get here when I first started crunching but now I'm Knockin at the door ( The top 100 Door) and about to kick it in!!, lol :D Watch out TOP 50 Here I COME Even adding two more Crunchers in the next week or two to help me stay there...


Crunch ON!!!!

[Morpheus]

Sounds great Chris... GREAT JOB!!! I can't wait to welcome you to the top 100 & 50 & 25 &... :)

Happy Hunting!!!

[Basher]

Way to go!! Keep up the good work.

You should try the 1.2MP on an Epox rig. Awesome cruncher. Running mine now at 162x9 and getting 3.5 hr WU times on .4xx AR's.

[DeltaSierra]

Congrats! It takes a lot of WUs to make the top 100 and it takes more WUs everyday with all of the heavy crunchers on this team.

[outhouse]

I hope to join you soon :)

GOOD JOB!

[[Oc]acaridans]

Congrads!!

I hope th be there soon as well..just checked the stats 1 more and you got it!!

Congrads Toomnymods!!

[Morpheus]

congrats Chris... #98 I see...

[toomnymods]

Well to celebrate this occasion I assembled two more Crunchers today.. ( All my gear came in from Newegg, Crucial, and Coolerguys.com today) :D Only Drawback is I still need 2 Cpu's and 2 Video cards.. :( So It'll be a couple of weeks before I can afford to complete my Mini Seti Farm :p Can't get too carried away I think my SgtMajor already will probably flip out when he inspects my room on tuesdays.. But who cares...lol I can just tell him I'm helping find E.T. :p

Crunch On!!!

[Rottys-R-Us]

I hope he don't pull the plug's.

Do you have them hooked up to a NUCLEAR reactor.hehe.

Good going !!

Dave.

[[Oc]acaridans]

Hummm... The government and E.T.
Why dosent that sound right??

[LandShark]

congra. and hope i'll be joining u soon......... too bad i don't have boardband, still stuck in dail-up. so i could only set up my main machine auto-transmit the WU, while the other 2, i have to do it manually everyday after & before work.....:( that sure slow me down since it only take them 'bout 5.5hrs to finish a WU.....:confused:

[Morpheus]

Sounds like a sure case of the need of a work unit caching program... SETI Driver?

Good Luck!!!

Nah, just keeping a place warm for him. :)

[Morpheus]

& I'll keep a spot warm for you in the top 25.... Daman...

:D

Morpheus: how to cach SEIT so i don't have to download and upload a single WU everytime??

btw, i do use SETI Driver.......:confused:

[LandShark]

oh, nevermind! got it. just change the cache value from 1 to whatever i'd like, rite?! but tks for ur idea!!;)

however, i wonder how come the WU time varies quite a bit?? on my PIII 1.0G machine, idling, nothing running, using CLC + SETI Driver + SETISpy. using it shows like high-1xxMFlop/sec, but sometimes, like this morning, it shows the machine is "only" doing 70-60MFlop/sec!! i'm sure nobody used the computer over nite, it's just sitting idle all nite!! how come??? any idea???:confused:

will it b/c the memory allocation stuffs?? but there's really nothing running, even at the background. will a re-boot help?? btw, i did defrag the hard drive. or b/c of the "av #"?? those 0.4xx number under SETISpy. what's going on??

Hey,

MFlops/sec doesn't really mean that much...or as much as you think it does. It basically is useless when it comes to SETI. Basically it is a indictor on how hard that area is in the work unit. My computer ranges from 250Megaflops/sec to 70Megaflops/sec. But my % per hour remains the same. Reboots can help improve SETI times if your computer has not been rebooted for a long time. When I went on vacation for two weeks I left seti running. When I got back the WU's were taking an hour longer then normal. A quick reboot got the computer back on track. So I say a Reboot can't hurt. I very rarely do it though. This computer is really stable, I don't see why you Windows 2000 users knock windows 95/98 both my systems have been running stable for 3 weeks now. I also had them stable for well over 2 months no problems or reboots.

Yes... I would look at power managament features... make sure they are "dissbled" in BIOS and "always on" in Windoze... Turn off any screen savers (regradless of whether the screen is off or not)...

Good luck!!!

[LandShark]

i did turn off any power management both in BIOS and Window. the only isn't set always on if the monitor which i set to turn off after 15mins of un-use.

i've heard u guys saying average time xxhr at av.=0.4xx. what's that?? will the WU's av. affect the time?? i've seen they ranging from 0.04 to 0.6x. which will give u less work out, less time to finish? if i saw a hard WU, could i delete it manually and get a new one?? if so, which file should i look for?

btw, that SETIDriver caching feature really helps!! now i can have all of my machine running STI 24/7 instead of only one of them running 24/7, and the rest doing only 2 per day.

tks again for u guys' help!!!

keep on crunching and aiming for the top 100 spot.

Thanks, I oughta be up there in a couple of months...

(it sure does take a lot longer to head up the ranks once you hit the top 50 or so...)

This is how I run my setup. Works just fine. :)

The lower ARs are going to be pains...they typically have a smaller size, but that's just so that they keep the time similar.

Proze has a program that will look through all of your WU's and tell you what the ARs are for all of them...there's a link to it somewhere in the SETI board, and I suppose it's also on Shadow ÒÓ's ftp server of overclocking goodies (link in his sig). If you wanted to get rid of it, you would just delete the entire folder of the number that it is.

Glad to hear you're getting more work done!

[LandShark]

oh, now i see why sometimes my main machine could finish a WU in just under 5hr, sometimes it takes 5 1/2hr, and the reason i brought up all this questions is b/c i saw a WU's of almost 8hrs!! that's the one w/ an AR of 0.04! now i know why! tks again for u all!!!;)

and for the spirit of science, i don't think i should delete any "tough" WU just b/c to rank up faster.

and w/in next week, i should finish up upgrading my slowest machine. and w/ all 3 of them running 24/7, hopfully i could dip into 100's w/in the next couple of weeks. heheee.....:D

Glad to here that, let me tell you. I almost mentioned it...then thought better of it. Didn't want to seem discouraging or anything. :)
