Anybody looking for a deal? I'm not sure how new this stuff is, but looks like it's up somebody's alley :D

He actually lowered the price to $175 shipped after that first post.

That's the generation prior to G34 iirc... they suck up lots of power for low ppd output and only go up to Quads on the chips- G34 supports cpu's up to 16 cores each ;)

I figured someone here would know more about it than I would.

Guy's, I'm late getting WCG running on the servers. Looks like I have to upgrade to 12.04 LTS 64 bit in order to get WCG installed. I'm currently running 10.10 with no support avail for that version. I will do the install tonight and be up and running in the next day or two. Anyone know if Software Center is still supported in 12.04?

:toast:
 
Software Center is a key app of Ubuntu, so yes it is.
 
Yes Software center is still there for 12.04 and it is in 13.04 which is the version I run.

Indeed it is! :toast:
You should just be able to do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade from a terminal window. I did that to upgrade to Ubuntu Server 13.04 on my AMD 4P today :toast:

That's what I was thinking, unless, like, 10.04 is so old it.. doesn't.. know how to upgrade it?:confused:

You may have to do a fresh install from 10.04. It just may not be able to upgrade to 13.04. You are 5 versions and I am not evening counting the small updates like for example 12.04.1.
 
I am at a loss here and may just shut down crunching for a while but a few days ago I reported going from 2-2.5k ppd down to 400 or so a day and now I am at 0 yes ZERO for the last three days! I know my machine has been crunching cause my proccess monitor shows 7 days of up time along with average load at 98%. I checked my pending validation, pending verification, error, and invalid results on WCG page with NOTHING in each of them.. It does show some that are in progress and NONE have been aborted or suspended.... I am at a real loss for words here and do not know what to do?

Tried many times and I keep getting 404 errors as if the IP address for the update server has changed. Just gonna wipe the drives and re-install. One of the drives has poor performance and needs to be swapped out anyways.

What version were you running before the upgrade?
 
Did you type sudo apt-get update (or have you been using the software updates manager recently) before trying sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? You could be right though with the software sources, but perhaps a clean 12.04.1 LTS install would be better anyway.

Consider clicking on the reset button in the projects tab (advanced view).
 
This picture is the,"Now"...

Methinks, it will be a little different, tonight after work.

little down, my i7 setup 1st bios went fubar ... :eek: i managed to re set it up (thanks 2nd bios button) but it took me long enough to figure out, that i had to shutdown boinc on the X4 955 rig and tear the parts to build a temporary rig, still have to gather the pieces and re set the crunching rig.

i wonder what went wrong, some weird issue where : ram amount at total random, attempt to re install win7 allways ending on a weird error and also every games i started (only online tho) got a crash with nvd3dum.dll, memtest86+ separate ram testings showed no problems, and no Nv drivers got rid of the error, but until i switched to the 2nd bios nothing worked correctly ... thats weird

luckly tomorrow i dont work until 5:30pm, i will have time to re set the cruncher up
 
Reminder: if you want participate in the CEP2 Challenge gieaway, post in the apppropiate challenge thread in order to confirm this.

Interesting post(s) @WCG here:

http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewpostinthread?post=433627

Shows credit per hour by cpu for the 3 current projects ;)

Is it accurate? At this point idk... I just saw the post and didn't look at it too much yet :o

Working on organizing and graphing out that list. Very interesting, although I'm sad that it's missing Linux and AMD.

Edit: Anyone have any suggestions on a good way to graph these? LibreOffice's built-in charts are fine, but often inconsistent.

AMD cpu's are on previous posts in that thread (some Linux too) ;)

There's quite a few here in this post (on previous page):

*note- Linux data is one post up from this link.

Not sure on graphing, I use Excel for almost anything involving #'s

On another note...my X58 mATX system is dead atm :mad: :banghead: I suspect that it's the brand new Seasonic psu that has crapped out :banghead: I'll try to fire it back up with the AX1200 and see what happens.... hopefully it's the psu and if it is, I'll need to RMA the thing and likely won't get it back until after the Challenge starts :(

I just got conformation that my board will be here friday :) I am excited to hopefully get another cruncher up if it will put out PPD LOL
 
** UPDATE**

The X58 mATX rig is back up and running... swapped the psu's and it fired right up!

Now to return this Seasonic M12 back to NewEgg and let the return shipping cost eat up most of what I saved on it :shadedshu

I had some that appeared to be crunching but were actually stuck. The processing time went up by I wasn't paying enough attention to see the remaining time never moved, and I was suddenly days behind the deadlines with no end in sight. I think a new client update fixed it, but I don't remember...
 
Damn, I thought the two days of jobs I uploaded this morning would bring up to 224! Oh, well 200 + points is doable. I will have that spot, tomorrow!

This did change, a bit. :)

Points per hour:

FA@H
169.8
FA@HVina
123.2
CEP2
100.9
Microsoft Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3317U CPU @ 1.70GHz [Family 6 Model 58 Stepping 9]

Not so bad.
