Re: smilesmile Join "MyOnlineTeam" Today - Chapter 37 smilesmile

Looks like I popped 2 gold badges in one day.. lol.. will make up for the fact we lost power for awhile earlier today.. so a good solid 6 hours or so before I could restart my computers.. crying

On a happier note, the child who had a seizure in the waiting room was much better after some Tylenol.. cool

It's all relative after something like that..

Jonathan, DM, please come back.. and soon.. :)

Dr. Mike..


Indeed, maintaing a perspective is essential and child who is having a seizure certainly puts everything else in its place.

I do this mostly for the kids.. even if my computers never find the work unit that eventually turns into a cure for something.. then maybe they'll find thousands that aren't.. biggrin

You are showing signs of adiction. smile No matter how many crunchers you have, you "need" another. I can't help but look at new ones most days. smile

I look at the new ones and I get confused.. 920/950/975 core i7's.. I see 8 and 12 core machines (Opteron/Xeon) on a website or two.. not sure which is best for crunching.. and I have NO idea how to outfit a computer the best way.. I'm computer stupid compared to most..

Mike.. crying

Re: smilesmile Join "MyOnlineTeam" Today - Chapter 37 smilesmile

It is confusing. Not only do you have to think about the computers themselves, you also have to think about the electricity and heat, space to put them, monitors, KVMs, Operating Systems, routers and ...

I know there are a lot of guys here that like to build their own but I just like to get prebuilt machines that are in the "sweet spot" on the price/performance curve. While there are faster computers than the i7 920s now, their price is much higher and there are cheaper computers but their BOINC througput is much lower.

Of course the sweet spot will move soon..but that is always the case. straight face

I have been lucky enough to have been given several computers and bought a few and if i had the cash i spent on this i could buy four of the cheap i7s and probably be putting out more than when running all my machines.But i got hooked when my wife got sick so here i am.I am trying that GPU crap but cant seem to get it right--the points are nice but thats NOT the reason im here and for the long run!!!We do have the greatest crunchers some come and some go and MOT is still here

I will probably not be here for stats tonight. I am really not well. I may be back in through the night.

Re: smilesmile Join "MyOnlineTeam" Today - Chapter 37 smilesmile

I've lost a lot of faith in WCG as they refuse to upgrade to modern technology. Give us GPU computing in WCG or I'll keep my main resources at projects that do! If Stanford can roll out a GPU client for FOLDING@HOME, why can't WCG with its IBM backing?


I suppose that I have stirred the pot and caused Jonathan to leave WCG and MOT. I truly regret that as it certainly is not the fault of WCG as they don't write the code. Nor is it the fault of MOT.

So I feel I should apologize to the team. Sorry.
crying

Now I wish I had not brought it up in the first place. Now DM as well!! I apologize again! Sorry Everyone!

No reason to be sorry
