My server and all my blades are down. I must have had a power outage last night, and something got "glitched". My Windows machines are all up and running, but my Linux server "has some issues". 1) The keyboard is not recognized. It's a USB keyboard connected via a KVM switch. 2) I connected a separa...

YAY! I updated the project list in FAHLogStats and it is showing the new points (239). I am working three of these, so this bumped by PPD by quite a bit.

Thanks for the info Mac.

David

As long as you can "see" the FAH work directory, you can monitor FAH with EMIII. I have a Linux server which contains a directory for each of my "blades" (which boot Linux over the network), and I can monitor them with EMIII and FAHLogStats. The major issue I ran into in getting this set up initiall...

Uh oh. If you are coming after Charlie, you are coming after me too. He and I have been trading places over the past few weeks. Thanks for the warning though. At least I have 19 years to prepare.

David

jbyram2a, I appreciate your comments and empathize with your position. It's hard to maintain interest where there is "nowhere to go but down." That's not meant as an insult, just an observation. We lost our #2 folder (Lockheed) some months back because he got "bored", so he moved to another team whe...

I am stuck in that never-never land of no overtakes and no threats. It's just CharlieChan and I, bobbing back and forth between 6 and 7.

I use XP Pro so that I can use remote desktop. The installation requires very little operator intervention, so it hasn't been much of a hassle. Every month I think I will get around to the LTSP issue that is preventing me from running Linux on that machine, but I have been saying that for about 3 mo...

Hey, I will hit 200K June 28. Cool.

Other than that, at first glance I don't see anything there that I don't find on Jason's (EOC) stats page. I didn't look very hard though either.

David

jbyram2a,

Honestly, the best thing that could come of this little "spat" is that y'all get some of those 817 inactive members to folding again, and come back to kick our 15-year-old BUTTS!

Thanks for taking our jousting in the spirit in which it was intended.

WAKE-UP FUTUREMARK!

David

shathal, Do these machines have access to any network shares? I reinstall Windows every 30 days on one of my machines to get around having to buy another license (one of these days it's going to get put into the "Barn" and boot Linux off the server), and what I do there is leave the F@H folder on a ...

shathal, you have hit the screw on the head, gone directly to the lungs of the matter, hit an absolute bulls-ear. You sir, are a rocket surgeon of understanding.

Seriously, a truly insightful and accurate discription of this little tempest in a tea-cup.

David

If anyone wishes to do a little taunting over at SpeedGuide, a few basic groundrules if you please: Post in "appropriate" forums and threads. Keep it friendly. I like to think we have a reputation (FutureMark being an exception), of playing "fair" Do not "flame" anyone, even if you feel they deserve...

"We are going to smash them!"

Like aluminum cans under the tires of an H2 baby.

David

OMG no, not the nits! Please no!

David

I think we should get some relief from the p638's in a few days. Not that they will go away, but at least they should be worth the time it takes to do them. The guy who said he was deleting them pissed me off, but you know, that's what it took to get The Pande folks to DO SOMETHING about it, because...

Relax dude, we should overtake them in a few hours. Forget about them (but keep and eye on them in case they try to sneak up behind and BUSHWHACK us).

David

Don't worry about it, they simply have no sense of humor. They are a soft-skinned bunch, aren't they?

David

Until I read your disclaimer, I was going to reply "That's a very American attitude you have there trodas!" I would ask SPCR members to stop taunting the Futuremark folks. It's clear that they are not interested in stepping up to the plate, so let's just slip past quietly and search for a more spiri...

Thanks for the link calam63.

Congrats to me

Wow, that was quick. Congrats on the top 100. How long before you make the Top 50?

David

Sheesh, step away for a couple of hours to take in a ball game and all hell breaks lose. It has been TOO quiet around here. 'Bout damn time we had some excitement. Edit: I read the threads linked to above, and I have a question: That's IT? That's everything? The sum total of all of SPCR's taunting? ...

Fluffing hell, these critters take long. p638 = not a friend. What do we get for it at the moment - really not a single point? They are worth 128 points, but take nearly as long as some proteins worth almost twice as much. There have been lots of people complaining that this project is not worth th...

trodas makes a good point. We will have soon passed all of the "easy" targets in getting to #20 or even #19 in the team standings (which is really good, by the way), and to climb further in the team standings, we will need to grow the team. We currently stand at #23 overall, and are on a pace to ove...

Don't worry about setting the processor affinity, as this makes next to no difference.

Putz points out the two critical things you MUST do.

David

22. Futuremark.com - 3 days
21. SpeedGuide.net - 9 days
19. Sudhian Media - 17 days
20. Macrumors.com - 33 days (EOC is showing a whack number due to the big one-time points deduction)

Run two instances on a HyperThreaded cpu. You can only run one GUI client, so the second MUST be a CLI client. I recommend running BOTH as CLI clients and using monitoring software such as Electron Microscope to monitor their progress. I further recommend running them as a service, so they start aut...

I thought the C's were Northwoods, and that the Prescott's were G's?

David

Indeed, welcome back Randy.

David

The ends do not justify the means.

David

Yes, it is difficult now to remember that we battled so closely for so long. Ah, those were the good ol' days. If things would have gone just a bit better on my vacation, I'd be sending y'all postcards from Tallahassee FL. Instead, I'll be sitting at home watching Arkansas play Florida State in Faye...
