So you want the team to be more competitive?

[zombie67]

Put your windows machines on this project....NOW. Our competition is surely doing that. The credits/hour are crazy high!

I'll see your 4 and raise you 6....

[Mr. Hankey]

They have a 64bit linux app as well, and the project is available in BAM.... put some cores on to check it out!

[Mr. Hankey]

I'll see your 4 and raise you 6....

I'll see your 10 and raise you 10

[joker]

You guys are making me feel inadequate!!

Great project or greatest project? (http://androinc.net/forum_thread.php?id=11)

I don't feel good about hacking proprietary hardware, but as long as it's for science, I'll throw a dual core on it.

Drooooiiid [..]

I'm on but from looking at the numbers, The credits don't seem so high. I must be missing something.

I am getting 290 credits per hour. What are you getting?

I was getting about 2k/hour on an AMDx6 at 3.2GHz...

[Fire$torm]

I have run 6 wu's on my i7-920. 4 finished with an avg run of 2,905.11 seconds for 115 stones each. The other 2 errored out.

[zombie67]

I was getting about 2k/hour on an AMDx6 at 3.2GHz...

To be clear, my 290 c/h was per core. Not per CPU.

Whoops. Looks like they just increased the running time with the new tasks. The credits increased too, from 29 to 115. Ah well. Credits are still very good, but no longer crazy stupid awesome. Tthe early adopters won a bonus this time. ;)

[Maxwell]

To be clear, my 290 c/h was per core. Not per CPU.
I figured that... ;)

I've been on this for 25 hours now on the Silver Hammer, and that machine alone has 50k credits. To give you an idea of this awesomeness...

[DrPop]

Alright; paused Almere and will try this for a bit. If it can match AQUA (nothing ever seems to) I'll be happy. ;)

[trigggl]

There apparently is no checkpointing. I stopped boinc about halfway through some tasks to remove my Primegrid app_info file. Started boinc back up Droid is back to 0. They're no going very fast. I hope the credits are worth it.

[DrPop]

Hmmm...what OS and CPU are you using? On an AMD PhenomII 810 quad core O/C @ 3GHz, running Windows 7 64bit, mine are showing about 25% completed after only 9 mins!

EDIT: The O/Ced AthlonII quad @ 3.6GHz is doing even better - 50% after only 14.5 mins!

[zombie67]

Just to be clear. Up until the release of the new app about 6 hours ago, tasks ran about 5 minutes and paid 29 credits. It looks like the project has since released tasks that run much longer, and pay 115. So you can tell which tasks you have by what they pay.

[Maxwell]

Well, I knocked out 100k today on less than half my machines. Something I could never do with Aqua...

If you're talking to me, Gentoo Linux, of course. 64bit dual core running at 1.8GHz.

Edit: Getting the dreaded validate errors, going back to eon.

I to am getting validate errors. And one of my P4s cannot crunch it at all. Every wu gives a computation error after 1 or 2 seconds of crunching. :((

Yeah, the linux app is not baked yet. That's why I said, "Put your windows machines on this project." Even the windows app spits out the occasional validation error. But with the crazy credits this this was paying, it was well worth it.

[zombie67]

FYI, they updated the linux apps today. Perhaps they fixed the problem.

http://androinc.net/apps.php

[Zytozux]

Yeah these new long WUs arent paying as much. Looks like Primegrid PPS Sieve is still the best for 64 bit CPU.

Also, DNET is trying to bruteforce a 72 bit key and it's 1.3% complete right now. This project is trying a 1024 bit key! I hope they're not bruteforcing too, this could take a while lawl.

Just read their boards and the high credits per are here to stay. Also, they claim there will be GPU work for this project in about a month.

[zombie67]

Just read their boards and the high credits per are here to stay.

That is what they said. But since then, the credits have dropped significantly. The task run time has increased, and so has the credits awarded. But not by as much. So we are making less c/h now. Still very good! But not as good as it was.

[DrPop]

I must concede, you have finally found me a CPU project that perhaps pays better than AQUA. It looks like it will, I just want to run it a few days before I give it the crown. ;)

I may just have the perfect combination of hardware and software for this project, (AMD Quads running Win7 64bit), but I have no errors or invalid WUs since 10PM last night. So, in 12 hours, my 2 quads have pumped out over 20K credits. That's pretty huge for CPU power.

I am rigth there also....I am closing in on 2.000 CS in just 2 hours of crunching!! According to my math....WE COULD DOMINATE THIS PROJECT!

[-GER-]

Has anyone seen their stats exported?

Thanks, Ger

[Maxwell]

They exported yesterday, but it seems the xml files there haven't been updated. They've got a thread about it in there forums, so they are aware...

[DrPop]

We could dominate this project if some of the big CPU crunchers like Hankey, Mumps, CB, Dr. Bob, etc...could get a quick jump on it. (If they want to, of course). With the crazy CPU power this team has, it could be a nice #1 for us.

[STMahlberg]

I seem to be having major problems with this project I have been crunching on 16 cores for hours and have only gotten a little over 500 credits. :(

Looking into the issues further and remembering someone saying there are no recovery points, I found the problem. I had WU's running for over 6 hours and were only half way done.

I set the CPU usage restrictions from their default 25% to 0 and it looks like this is going to solve the problem.

[Mr. Hankey]

Looks like the 1.01 linux 64 bit app had validation errors. they released a 1.02 app make sure you abort your 1.01 WUs and get the new app. I got crap for credit due to the validation issues so far.

[zombie67]

I think my posts must be invisible or something. ;)

I see you! There you are! *Points at zombie67*

It seems to be working for me now. Before, everyone was saying how wonderful this new project was with credits and I felt like I was having a Charlie Brown Halloween... "I got a rock."

[trigggl]

I think my posts must be invisible or something. ;)

Did somebody say something? By the way, there's a new Linux app.

[DrPop]

HEY GUYS! I thought I saw a new LINUX app today! Oh...there you are, Zombie, how ya doin'? b-( :D

Well, I went all in on it yesterday and found the Linux 1.01 app was not very well baked. I'll try to reset those systems and see if they start doing better credits (AKA producing something other than Invalids...) later tonight.

[trigggl]

I've got some going now. I'll let everyone know how they do.

[Mr. Hankey]

I have not seen any validation issues yet with the 1.02 app... looks good on my gentoo 64 bit boxes.

[trigggl]

My lone gentoo 64 box has returned 4. They are all pending, which I guess is better than validate error.

[DrPop]

Thanks for trying it again. Sorry if I steered anyone into it before it was ready - as Zombie said, the Win64 app was great - the Linux app needed a little (major?) tweak, apparently.

Glad it's working now. Mr. Hankey, your credits could go through the roof, and so could Mumps'! :-)

[vaio]

I am getting 290 credits per hour. What are you getting?

I got a poxy 56 for 10 hours i7 work......plug duly pulled for now at least.

[zombie67]

Bizarre. Here is my i7 windows machine:

http://androinc.net/results.php?hostid=224&offset=0&show_names=0&state=3&appid=

For the 29 credit tasks, it is making over 200 c/h , and for the 115 credit tasks, it is making over 100 c/h.

I wonder if you are being hit by that "pause if CPU usage gets over 25%" setting?

[DrPop]

I just did the math on mine. 38+K for the day yesterday, divided by 2 quad core CPUs = ~200 credits/hour per core. I'll let you know if it can sustain that over the next few days...

[Slicker]

PG PPS = 365 c/h on my i7 950 and 3.06 GHz vs 2.67 GHz on your i7 920 isn't 80% faster, I think I'll stay on PG for now.

That would be my guess too. I had to change all of my rigs from the 25% to 0; my returns prior to that were rather pathetic to say the least.

[STMahlberg]

You guys got me thinking, so I did some quick calculations using the validated WU's from Androinc. For yesterday all completed tasks returned 40,022 credits so that would be 1667 per hour. Not too bad I guess if you figure it that way.

Now on a credit per hour per core basis... that's a little different. 40,022/24/23 = 72 credits per core per hour. :( But that's an average and "average" is for L-)'s.

I expect this to go up a little since I didn't get my new rig online until around 0800 hours.

[DrPop]

So Slicker, are you saying that PG on a CPU now beats ANDROINC? Which means it throttles AQUA even? That would be news (good news) to me.

[GregK]

he's running 64 bit /win 7

i have 64 bit vista. if this is confirmed ill have to switch to pg!

[Beerdrinker]

I think he is correct..

Please notice that the PG WU´s in question is 7-10 Hour WU´s for 2311 CS@piece.

[Mumps]

Well, I'm still seeing significant Validation errors on my Linux hosts. So much so that they earned less than 50% of the credits they got yesterday. Backing off again.
