[Ion] · Nov 9, 2013

Maybe I'm the only one that doesn't care, but I pretty much never update BOINC. I value stability when running my crunchers, and so far everything seems to work fine.

agent00skid · Nov 9, 2013

I've updated through quite a few development builds, and I've never had stability issues.

Norton · Nov 9, 2013

I have several versions running (7.0.42 thru 7.0.64 for Windows and 7.0.28 for Linux) and don't really notice a difference in stability or output.....

TRWOV · Nov 10, 2013

I just download the latest when I'm setting up a new cruncher

brandonwh64 · Nov 10, 2013

The beta for me was not stable and not completing WU'S

I will mention that the version number matches up with some new Betas we've been seeing.

EDIT: Setting all crunchers to Mapping Cancer Markers now...

AlienIsGOD · Nov 10, 2013

so does the MCM project use gfx cards or no?

Peter1986C · Nov 10, 2013

Judging by the system requirements, the project has no GPU WUs.

librin.so.1 · Nov 10, 2013

...for now.
I do hope these guys develop GPU work, too. IIRC someone here noted they are the same guys who made HCC. So I believe it is likely they would.

Black.Raven · Nov 10, 2013

At school im doing a new project in like 2 or 3 weeks. This time its 5 pc's that will be running from half past 3 till 9 in the morning :toast:

Hey Team

I'll be out late tonight taking my son to a concert so I won't have a chance to get today's Stones and Pie posts done until very late/early tomorrow.

I can still get them done. However, if someone else wants to give them a try then please do so

It shall be done :toast:

I always update. I like that your work in progress carries over through updates and is not lost. At first I thought you had to finish all work before updating :laugh:

[Ion] · Nov 11, 2013

Observations about MCM so far:
PPD seems to be considerably down from FAAH. Not sure on the specifics, but my average has dropped by 2k PPD already since switching over from pure FAAH to a MCM (and I'm sure that there is still some FAAH stuff getting validated).

RAM usage seems lower than FAAH, not to mention CEP2. Windows and Linux are both seeing just under 50MB/WU. Awesome! :toast:

Effective load on the CPU seems lower. My i7 QM, which is by far the most temperature-sensitive of the systems I have going, is down about 10-12C. Rather enormous. The ULV C2D is showing a decline of about 6C.

WU runtimes are highly variable. The QM i7 has two WUs at about 88% complete right now, one with just over two hours of CPU time and the other with about ten. I'm seeing this same thing on several systems, too.

librin.so.1 · Nov 11, 2013

We shall endure the PPD drop for the sake of ~~badges~~ Science!

Indeed! I'm going to switch back to purely-FAAH for the competition, as it's a fight to the death, but otherwise it is what it is :toast:

Also, an update on the new cruncher! An i7-920 and motherboard I've purchased from stinger608! I have a 16GB flash drive to use for the OS and can loot some RAM out of another system...now just to find a PSU :toast:

Norton · Nov 11, 2013

@ Ion

I think I found your ppd :pimp:

The i7-970 is giving me a healthy boost in ppd... and it's still spooling up! :rockout:

Regarding MCM- I switched the 970 over to 100% MCM work yesterday, the other rigs are still doing all projects, so I may not notice any large drop in output*

*will be looking for it though- thanks for the tip! :toast:

[Ion] · Nov 11, 2013

Awesome

We'll see how much I can get out of the i7-920 when it's OCed. Since it's an OEM board I don't have too high of hopes, but 3.4GHz would be awesome. And since the whole system is setting me back about $150 it's a good price IMO. 5-6.5k PPD or so with Linux seems doable.

Arjai · Nov 11, 2013

My crunching hours, per day, vary daily. As one can plainly see. I try to crunch at work, by getting this plugged in in the office. But, sometimes, it is the end of my shift and my bag is sitting in the chair, untouched. Can't control how busy it is each day, now that it is getting colder we are getting a bit busier. People around here worry about their car more, when it gets cold out.

Anyways, I am mentally preparing myself to be more diligent, consistent, for the Birthday challenge. In the meantime, I shall play Resident Evil as I wish, and will take a sabbatical on the 15th.

I plan to crunch nearly 24 hrs straight, with no uploads, ending on the morning of the 16th. I don't know if that is considered cheating but, it may be the largest way for me to contribute, since my daily output is under a grand, in the 800's!

I might even go longer than 24 hours...Since I cache 4 days of work....Hmmm.

I may also opt out of MCM for the challenge, I cannot afford to lose PPD while we are vying for such a huge opportunity to win, on such a large stage!

MCM, sorry, you will just have to wait until this Birthday Party is over.

xvi · Nov 11, 2013

Average points per hour of runtime, 11/11/13
MCM: 158.27
CEP2: 151.65
FAAH: 96.91

Looks like a tiny bump in PPD for MCM.

librin.so.1 · Nov 11, 2013

Don't forget that before FAAH was updated, it gave a low PPD. It was the lowest scoring one of all the projects at about the the time when I joined WCG. And remained so until it go updated. So that average doesn't reflect the current points it gives - it's a mix of the old bad and the new good -scoring results. In practice, the current Vina-7.06 and 7.15 versions outscore CEP2 by at least 15%. That should tell a lot.

I'm surprised that you're seeing this. I'll pull up some stats later, but I'm seeing a drop
