I'm pushing to get 10000 seti units done by the end of the project which should be in a few months. I'm coming up on 7000 right now. If you've got some spare cpu cycles, I'd really really appreciate them :smile: s signature has been formatted to fit your scr

Hi, I hope iv put this post in the right place. For my college assignment I have to answer the question "how groupware can affect network planning" iv searched all over the Internet but im still stuck! please help.

I tried out <A HREF="http://www.porivo.com/peernetwork/jsp/application.jsp?Referrer=fu_hasi" target="_new">Gomez Peer </A>a few months ago. After spending three or four weeks in the “pending” status (or whatever it’s called), I got tired of giving them my CPU cycles for free. Today, out of the...

Really. They do. I was having problems with mplayer and dvds today as I'm finalizing my gentoo setup. It was taking for-damn-ever to get the program to cache anything, and even then it'd lock right after. So I did a search on dvd and mplayer on their forums and found a problem with mplayer not...

I've been in a folding team for a little while now (I thought I would try to help out a team started by a friend of mine) but I think it would be nice to start a THG folding team. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? <A HREF="http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=6752830"...

Check it out on their page. They're gearing up to switch over to BOINC. I'm sticking with it. Some day I'll be rich and famous for inventing a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.

i wanna know whats all this about UD, seti, etc. i know UD is like sharing your computer resources for research and seti is for searching signals (or something) but i dont know exactly what they are. why is it interesting? why should i get into it? whats so fun about this...

I downloaded UD on both of my machines, a Athlon 1700+ (listed below) and a P4 1.4ghz. I havent joined any group yet. I set my profile to work only when the screen saver is on, and I usually leave my systems on all day and night. I also do both the smallpox and cancer research, the cancer...

hmmm. I signed up for cure for cancer crunching, not smallpox. And as such i disabled the crunch smallpox tickbox in my device profile manager... yet im still getting and crunching smallpox jobs. WTF? <font color=blue>Many modern games <b>must</b> be played multiplayer. And those you encounter...

Woot. Broke the 100K points milestone in UD last night: 100061 points with 259 days, 10 hours, 18 min. what a load of crunching! :) ONWARD! (And no im not affiliated with any team... im an evil rogue individual cruncher!) <b>My PC is so powerful it it makes a 286-16 look slow!</b> :lol: <A...

It was cool to see that THG started to use SETI as a benchmark:).But there isn't much info given about it. For instance how come the 2 P4 3GHz CPUs are so much faster than the other P4's?.AFAIK HT can't be accounting for it so what gives?. Anyone any ideas? Here's a thred I started about it...

Hey guys, This is the first time that i've entered this forum and i just read all the talk about UD and stuff. Whats UD??? and whats this forum about anyway i thought it was just about sharing small utilities so never bothered to take a look. Thanx <b><font color=blue>Saddam: "Dude where's...

I'm not sure, but I believe UD will sell your volunteered CPU time to companies. Last time I looked, they even tell you that on their website. There's other places that resources can go to. Folding@home and Genome@home, SETI@home, distributed.net (at least you can actually make money if you're...

I've just about made the top 25 now on the THG team... I just passed Fatburger and have my sights set on Owl! (That is you isn't it...Owl645807?) <b>You will Never Catch me</b> <font color=blue>HOSED = Horrific operating system error detected</font color=blue>

I just looked and he is missing from the THG SETI team... What happened? Scout 700 Mflops in SETI!

I'll admit, I haven't done any research on this, but I was wondering if any of you guys know off the top of your head which CPU works better on the UD Cancer/Smallpox resarch projects? These work units seem so variable that I can't tell from just looking at progress over time on each machine...

Keep at the crunching. While I don't see much chatter promoting the team, I do see you guys are crunching away. Stats show Tom's Hardware Guide Team should overtake a half dozen teams in the next week to ten days. Congrats guys and gals. Every working computer must be improved .... or...

Today I switched my UD team to Tom's Hardware Guide... It sure is lame I had to leave my 733 results at my old team, especially considering it was just me and another guy on the team and he doesn't even do it any more! Oh well... starting from the bottom. Watch out guys!!! By the way, my handle...

Anyone have any clue about this, what i am after is similar to an CPU farm that you can get in UNIX/Linux, but for W2K/XP. I want to use the CPU off another machine or several, but only its CPU. This way we can distribute an big job that needs CPU power on several machines, but due to the...

OK Gang, how do you spell SMP? I found my friendly local computer store had a close-out on Tyan Tiger MP boards, and I just happened to have a couple of XP1700+ matched chips. I couldn't resist and now have my first MP machine! The only thing that bummed me was I had to go buy some registered...

Im back! And.... Im going to reclaim my spot! So.... look out! -SteelRainn

Today I finally broke 1000 wu's. :) What happened to Killian? His wu/day average plummeted last month. ...ummm...sorry, I forgot what I was going to say...

Woohoo I finally made it to the top 50 in the UD results sorted on score. My CPU runs so hot the arctic silver undergoes nuclear fusion :eek: .

I now got 4 UD system running: 1. AMD Athlon XP1600+, 512MB 2. Pentium 75@90Mhz, 80MB 3. Pentium 166Mhz, 64MB 4. Pentium 700MHz, 128MB (soon 256MB or 384MB). System 1 and 4 will be OC'ed to about: 1. 2GHz (I hope) 2. 1GHz Lets see how fast I can be in the top 10 now. My CPU runs so hot the...

Ever been chased by a madman? I may not be able to stay in front of my friend Killian2 forever, but my plan is to stay in front just long enough to overtake Steelrainn so I can stay in seventh place on the team! (Bwaaahhhaaaaa....) So give me your best shot Killian! 'Cause I'm sure giving you...

Couple of weeks ago, casually glancing behind me I see a certain Killian2 and he's some 340 work units back. Hummm, I don't remember him... better bring the big P4 back on line this week... Yup, and see where we sit next week. I couldn't believe my eyes... only 270 behind this last weekend...

I've noticed that people talk about seti work units being small enough to fit inside the cache of a processor. Will the clawhammer provide a big boost since it is a 64 bit processor? I don't really understand it all that well, but if seti is mostly doing floating point math, doesn't 64 bits...

Just got the new version of SetiSpy (v.3.2.0) and was wondering if anyone else is getting the same error msg as me when trying to update the user and team stats? No route to host. (Error# 10065) Is this actually an error or do I just need to wait and return a few more WU before it irons itself...

You may or may not know, but I used to host a stats page for Tom's SETI team. I am working on merging the old script I had (since it was given to me, and I didn't understand how to put new data in) with a script I found on the internet. It should then automatically download the new stats info...

Ok, now that I have it, what do you guys want to do with it. I also have the THG webmaster's right ear, as I am refering to the www.seti.tomshardware.com that we can update. Regards, Michael DePrenda aka Betelnut (SETI) THG Taiwan (UD) michael@tomshardware.com Asian Regional Manager Tom's...

Anyone know where this person has gone? I was thinking about maybe taking over the upkeep of the group info page and maybe weeding out the users who haven't submitted a WU for a couple of years. Another idea I had was building a personal web page and have the same info on it with the...

Ok, I figured out how to get into my mom's Gateway BIOS. There are no settings for o/c'ing the CPU, but I can adjust the PCI Latency setting. It is currently set at 64. I was wondering if lowering this setting will improve the CpF average in S@H? Right now, it's showing and average of 9.xx CpF...

Giving up SETI I’m tired of always having work units that I can’t send because of their lack of bandwidth. I usually turn of my computer at night (when I might actually be able to send em) so I have to end task every time I want to shut down. I’m using SETI spy with SETI driver and don’t feel...
