HELLOOO!!!!!!! ANYONE IN HERE?????????????  

heh...still here, but I've been close to pulling the plug on my 4 1/2 year affiliation with the SETI@home project.  I guess I'm getting a little bored with the whole thing and it's becoming more of a nuisance than anything else.

Additionally, i'm kind of sick of seeing our team's place in the rankings affected so greatly by the whims of members choosing to leave for this reason and that...

Wow, I must have mised a lot! been down for several months (due to job situation) and just now got back online. Just lost a machine due to burned out Microprocessor but stll have my main gun going, Dang - it! Ill never catch you now Pirate.

Just noticed that on the new "hyper-threaded" machines that the client only runs at 50%.  Anybody know how to get it back to 99%?

Thanks...

You have to run 2 instances of seti seti driver can do this I don't know how to do it any other way. My HT machine can poor out 2 units every 3 hours

Okay here is the new goal: Beat Mexico!

Taldren WU: 439300
Mexico WU: 2550330

Tall order indeed.  I'd say some big-crunch recruiting may be in order.

I don't know offhand where you got your numbers but here are mine from the top 200 team list:
Code:

141) Mexico Team    112   504283      580.600 years     10 hr 05 min 08.5 sec
164) Taldren        164   439498      354.856 years      7 hr 04 min 22.5 sec

The difference is probably between the NATION of mexico, and Team Mexico

 155) Taldren 164 439708 354.995 years 7 hr 04 min 20.3 sec

 

Mexico gained 240
Taldren gained 210

for a net gain of -30

I can cut 10  - 15 off the loss once the severs are up and running again and I can get the machines at work running again.

You should see a jump in my production soon.

I will admit I have been a little "ho-hum" about it lately.  I should be able to push 900-1000 WU a day soon.

There will be a smallish one time bump as soon as seti decided to let me see the join group page

!!!
Your company lets you run SETI on it's machines?

That puts my paltry 6 to 7 units per day to shame...

There are 2 P4's and a P3 that need to be running 24/7 in the dispatch. Most of the time they are logged off doing nothing. So I just use the spare clock cycles to run seti with the chiefs OK. Only problem is that because of the network setup these machines are on, I can't use setiQueue to cache and so when the Seti servers go down I need to restart each unit.

I am the Network Admin... I let me run SETI on our machines  

I have actually found it beneficial on machines that run 3d modelling aps such as 3dsmax.  The Win2k Idle thread is bugged and has a memory leak when programs spen a lot of time at 99% processor utilization.  The Seti command line, works much better.  As long as Memory isn't a problem I find Seti to allow the machine to stay "up" much longer without ill-effects.

That would be it.  I suppose Team Mexico makes a little more sense.

Just a little bump.  Welcome back.  Now I have to EARN my way into the top 5.   Sooon.  By New Years perhaps.

Smallish...

 


GOod to see ya back dread.  Time to kick tail...

BTW I will soon be posing about a milestone for me.
 

[DreadlordGW]

I say smallish because besides the units i have, i barely get any now.

Most of my old standby machines got nuked, and i;ve been told not to put Seti on them unless i use the machine a ton (ie my work machine)
