Here some colourful pics on the latest PHOBOS (Satellite) device.
----------------------------------------Phobos has 4Gb DDR3 RAM and i7 950 at 3.5 Ghz. The CPU cooler you see is the intel new cooler for the 980X which I recycled here. You have the front pic and the innards. You have also a pic to show the relative small frame size. From the front satellites will glow red and planets glow blue.    And here two pics from the MARS device. One shows the innards of the 980X powered device, and the second shows the ASUS Triton88 cooler and the RAM coolers of the 6GB DDR3 Corsair GT Dominator RAM. It is a 2000 Mhz CL7 memory. I do not have yet the stats to compare. The first daily results show improvement but for sure it does not justify the high price of those memory modules. The MARS device delivers a lot. I have days between 55'000 and 65'000 points. But let's see an average over longer term and with a mix of projects. I will post results later.

You have different cases for satellites and planets?
----------------------------------------By the way, where do you get those stickers? 
to infinity and beyond

You have different cases for satellites and planets? Yes that's correct. The larger machines (planets) house 980X processors (high core density) with the fastest possible memory and push everything to the limit of stability. Lot of fans everywhere, big CPU coolers etc. The satellites use 950 CPU's (lighter core density) which have been recycled from previous planets. The slower memory is also recycled in those casings. Same for the CPU cooler that is also recycled. So here we will do more calm crunching. The smaller casing is due to space constraints. I probably will be able to add DEIMOS and MOON. After that I will run out of space and I am afraid my 16 Amps (220V) special power line capacity will max out. I still can upgrade URANUS and JUPITER to 980X as they are on different lines. All in all my theoretical maximum in terms of sustained planetary gravitational emission could reach between 600'000 and 700'000 HEGPPD. By the way, where do you get those stickers? They are a personal design, printed and put on the boxes. Each device has also it's own personal wallpaper in line with the sticker design. |

The desktop of my kid is now in a kind of irreversible coma state. Many years of excellent service under very harsh conditions that a teen ager can inflict. The motherboard Lan circuits are dying. Two of them exist on the board, one is electrically dead, the other one is having instants of lucidity and then back to coma. Disk are all full, but these are by today standard small, less than 100 Gb disks etc. etc. For sure the machine is completely outdated, and for playing the last games it becomes hard.
----------------------------------------He became 17 in February so a machine up to his dreams would be fine. So here is the sweet deal. He gets what is for me a top machine that is also a new dwarf planet HAUMEA: My standard planet case, a Lancool Black One i7 950 Quadcore (recycled from my previous machines) A Triton 88 cpu cooler An Asus 1366 Motherboard P6T Deluxe 6GB DDR3 1600 Mhz rated RAM One fast 300GB 10'000 rpm Velociraptor, system disk One 1Tb 7'200 rpm 64MB cache, data disk One Asus Nvidia GTX 280 video card (recycled from my personal desktop that runs Matrix - 285). A 700Watt PSU rated 80Plus from Cooler Master. OS is Win7 Ultimate 64 bit. In exchange for this machine he will contribute to WCG. He new about WCG already so he was happy to accept. Boinc is already installed and running. Good news yesterday Haumea returned the first and only one validated WU.  With this latest addition my Solar System now consists of exactly 144 threads. 120 of them run at 4GHz. 24 of them run at 3.5 Ghz. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Hypernova at May 10, 2010 4:38:46 PM] |
