Have you got pie today?

[Arjai]

Just ordered my 3rd T3500 w/ a xeon5670. Now to pick up another AMD 240 on Amazon and I will be climbing the ranks, again.

I am kinda surprised at my numbers lately...I will have to investigate this, on Sunday. I should be averaging close to 10 grand more, per day.

This is looking bad!!

Yesterdays pie... Anyone interested in finding out what they managed??

Spoiler: 21 - 74!!

Another successful day of crunching That top 10 is now getting pretty hard to get into with a few points now!! Shame the sun isn't out much here and my electric bill just come through!! lol

I've noticed mine has dropped quite a bit @Arjai but I think with a combination of some of the other work units not giving us the points, most peoples scores have dropped a little.

Your running them all, 24/7? If that's the case, why not compare what results you have been putting out, it'll give you a total of how many per day etc.. You could see if the amount has stayed the same, dropped or gone up.. Might help a bit there maybe??

Who's up for some more pie today?? Who's hungry??

Spoiler: 21 - 73!!

Another great day for TPU's crunching team, congrats everyone and many thanks for contributing!!

 

[phill]

Anyone hungry for a slice of sweet pie??

Spoiler: 21 - 75!!

Great work everyone Stunning job!! Team TPU is steady as a rock with it's production, such a great team to be a part of

Looking at myself getting consistent 30,000 ppd, I am so amazed. Once upon a time I remember thinking that 30,000 ppd was a ton of points and I don't know if I will ever get there. Given moors law, and the amount of PC's I have crunching it was only a matter of time, but still I remember that feeling.

 

[phill]

@Nordic - What is your WCG user name please? I get confused with some who I don't recognise

 

[phill]

Well yesterdays pie looks a little like this...

Spoiler: 21 - 74!!

Great results for yesterday everyone!! That top 10 is going nuts for trying to get in!! Nothing less than 36k to get in 10th place, massive thanks to those in there!! (solar is not working so great in the winter - surprised?? er, no... This is the UK!! It always rains!! lol) but still when it shines I'll be putting a few more rigs on Plus some new ones on route.... Hopefully!!

Massive respects from me to everyone who is contributing, doesn't matter if it's one work unit or ten thousand a day, everything helps so thank you

Hope everyone is geared up for Christmas!!

Looked at my device results, turns out one of my T-3500's is not crunching, along with my Optiplex. I rebooted T3500, number one, a couple of days ago. It seems that it was locked up on the log-out screen?

So, tonight or in the morning, depends on when I get home, I will be re-booting my machines. May set a Calendar event, so I reboot on a monthly schedule.

Are they all on Linux @Arjai ??

 

[phill]

Well how's about another slice or day of pie??

Spoiler: 21 - 73!!

Nice work everyone Looking forward to tomorrows figures!!

 

[Arjai]

Are they all on Linux @Arjai ??

Yes. The T3500's are on Mint Sylvia and the OptPlex is on KDE 18. I really like the KDE 18 and Might switch all of them, except the I3 UtraSlim's, to KDE. We will see, maybe switch one and see if there is a difference between the T3500's.

On another note, the new, to me, T3500 has arrived, along with the tiny sized R7 240. I ordered it with a 1TB HDD and for some reason, a wifi adapter and forgot to order RAM. So, I got 3 4GB Ballistic Sport on Amazon. However, UPS delivered 2 boxes to my apartment door and the memory to a UPS Access Point ( I think), that is closed until Wed. Go figure, either that, or they still have it, and tried again today? I got an announcement from my Amazon ECHO of a delivery, this morning.

The ECHO, though, won't tell me the contents because, "I don't want to spoil the surprise." So, I don't know what UPS tried to deliver. Amazon simply says, all has been delivered. I am a little confused by all this. Hopefully, it will be all sorted Wed. afternoon. The truly confusing part is that one of the boxes, at the access point, is 22 pounds. That one IS a surprise! I have no idea what it may be. The second one, there, is a 1 lb-er. That, I think, could be the memory. Which means the delivery today, alerted by my ECHO, is another surprise!

Anyway, today is some maintenance on the Farm, some adjustments to box locations. Then once all placed, I will do some measuring for wiring them all CAT5 to an 8 port Switch I bought. I will probably just buy a bundle of 6 foot cables and call it a day. I don't really want to build individual cables, too time consuming, and I would have to buy a tool, I lost my cable/ wiring CAT5 pliers, somewhere.

I have a bunch of velcro tie downs and I will spend my time managing them rather than making them. That's the ticket.

I am also thinking about buying a label maker. It is starting to become a little hard to trace wires, with 7 computer's on the rack, and another to join them later this week! So, coffee, breakfast, Amazon and then tackling my computer rack and rebooting them all (and an OS switch on T3500-1, for comparison to T3500-2).

Hopefully, I can have a late lunch at the bar, then come home and break down some boxes and bring them to the bin, maybe do a load of laundry and then prepare for tomorrow, with a good 8 hours sleeping!!

Merry Christmas!!

 

[phill]

Anyone interested in seeing who got what for Christmas Eve numbers??

Spoiler: 21 - 72!!

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope everyone had everything that they wanted I'm still recovering from the dinner I eat lol
Massive thanks to everyone still contributing

OK, well. Turns out T3500-2 IS on Kubuntu KDE 18, already. It is now up and running, as are T3500, OptiPlex and HP-3770. I have not touched the 3 I3's yet, but they seem to be doing ok. I am writing this on the I5 OptiPlex with Mint KDE 18.3.
The HP-3770 is on Win10 and was also a bit boinked (), as in BOINC was locked up but the OS was running. It is doing fine now and will be shut down momentarily, for a move from one shelf, to another. I will now have all 5 towers, when T3500-3 is done being built, on the lower shelf. That will leave the middle shelf open for Diagnostics, build space, mouse pad and general use of keyboards and such.

I bought some blue and yellow CAT 6 cables, prices were not much different from 5e so, why not? I also bought a label maker, a plug and play model that uses a USB for power and data. No batteries to buy or AC adapters... I can then label my wires for easier tear down and diagnostic ease of use. By Thursday I will have all the stuffs and on Sunday I will be re-wiring my rack!!

Also, Sunday, my sister is bringing me to WalMart. My Brother gave us some Gift Cards and I want a Crock Pot!! So, that will be the only distraction...Well maybe, The Vikings play Chicago at 3pm, I can probably manage wires and watch/ listen to the game, and only be partially distracted! LOL.

Upshot is this. My points should normalize, in the next day, or so, and I will have another 12 threads running by next Monday!

P.S. @phill I am gonna be coming for you!!! You will probably catch me back up. This Summer, I will be parking a few of the Heater's away for the warm months.

Well how is everyone's Christmas been?? Anyone fancy finding out where they came in the Christmas pie placing??

What a mission @Arjai
Sounds like I have some competition!!

The weather hasn't been very kind to me but I'm not expecting it to be honest. Only been running 1 24/7 and two for a most of a day (so when I get up to when I get to bed) my gaming rig I tend to only have on for about 5 hours during the day. Today has been a little different as I've been home and I've been trying out some new software for blu ray ripping, but I digress

I'm roughly about 480k in front of you, so I'm guessing you could catch me up in a month or so?? I'm just got my Xeon (8 thread 24/7) my 2600k/6700k (8 threads and about 12 hours a day) and my 5960X (16 thread maybe 5 to 6 hours a day) running currently, laptop and my SR-2 both been off for the most part. Oh I do have my work laptop (4 threads) but I don't really count that as I think it gives me about 1k a day lol I've not yet decided what to do with the servers just yet...

Inspired as always Please when you have some spare time, throw up some pictures in this thread - how efficient is your cruncher I'd love to see

Spoiler: 21 - 71!!

Another great day everyone!! 71 members today I have a feeling my numbers will be dropping a little more so now I'm doing the odd fold every day or every other @Arjai sorry mate, I'm not sure I'll be much competition at all

 

[phill]

Amazing work everyone, thank you for your continued support!!

Our top 10 people have become a massive push for the highest numbers!! Very impressed I will say!! Thank you all for the inspiration!!

 

[hat]

I find watching my "project rank" interesting. I guess that takes into account the total number of points I've generated against everyone else who runs WCG?

I believe it does mate That's why Norton and ION are in the top 20/120 of the world with the amount of points they have

Well not long till the end of the year... So who has what today??

Spoiler: 21 - 73!!
