DNetC, OGR25, Nearing Completion

The OGR25 Overall Project Stats page, under "Percent Complete (Phase 2):" keeps advancing from anywhere as low as .07 through to .33 percent each day while the
"15,862,400 Gnodes were completed yesterday at a sustained rate of 184 Gnodes/sec."
((Data shown reflects all blocks received as of 2007-08-03 at 23:59 UTC))
(2007-Aug.-3)
can be as low as 13 mil. and upto 17 mil. (There have been far higher single day anomalies of amount submitted, however, as high as I think I saw 28 mil. once. That was completely due to one team, the "Dutch Power Cows".)

We're in the 3rd spot, but (Jeremy Reimer's team) "Ars Technica Team Beef Roast" COULD pass us.


Most of the time the percentage advances .1 to .13 per day. At currently 65.7, that leaves 100-65.7 = 34.3/.1 = 343 days of crunching left.

It says on the FAQ page that as the stubs are progressed through, there are less and less results per segment, which means the progress is speeding up.

At .3 per day, it could be over in as little as 115 days. My guess is, if the amount per day doesn't go down that it will be over in ~210 days and as few as 150.

So, could "Ars Technica Team Beef Roast" pass us? Well, I've seen them lose the will to fight, and their submitted results as low as ~250,000 while a few months ago they were chugging ahead at 400,000's to 600,000's with even a few days of 800,000's and a couple even over a million!!! Ours has gone up from regularly ~230,000's to 280,000's (three months back) and now at almost always 370,000's to 450,000's (last month and a half).....


This is what yesterday's standings:
Team First Unit Last Unit Days Current Members Gnodes Overall Gnodes Yesterday
Distributed Amiga02-Aug-2000 03-Aug-2007 2,558 1,095 456,856,484 346,578
Ars Technica Team Beef Roast 02-Aug-2000 03-Aug-2007 2,558 485 389,662,133 650,088
From +67,194,351

Would look like at 200 days from now:
Team First Unit Last Unit Days Current Members Gnodes Overall Gnodes Yesterday
Distributed Amiga02-Aug-2000 03-Aug-2007 2,558 1,095 526,172,084 346,578
Ars Technica Team Beef Roast 02-Aug-2000 03-Aug-2007 2,558 485 519,679,733 650,088

To a difference of +6,492,351..... Ouch.....




P.S. Our numbers went up when it was announced that RC5 is probably going to be shut down.

Taken from here.

X86 Solaris 2002-04-23 2007-08-18 36,787,660
PowerPC Amiga OS 2000-08-03 2007-08-18 36,142,133
The difference is 645,527

We're losing ground, 10 days ago we were at a difference of 567,171.


But maybe in a couple days.... (Watch this space. )

@Atheist

I am still contributing to both RC5-72 and OGR25 because they do not appear to have closed down. I don`t mind which i contrbute to as long as somebody makes a decision as to which project we should concentrate on.

@Swisso

OGR 25

@Outcast
sorted

@Atheist

I'd contribute more consistently if we had a client that was more stable under the July update of OS4.

@Valiant

No problem here with the July update.

Nonetheless, during summer, I stop crunching since my AmigaOne is the only Amiga I own and I wouldn't want to see my G3 fry.

Hi other crunchers,

I am still using AOS4 pre-release 4 (one before final), and am having no problems at all will the dnetc client.
(Had a record uptime of 19 days but something else crashed the system.)

Anybody else experience dnetc problems with final or the July 2007 update?

@Atheist

No problem on July update neither.

How to crunch only for OGR?

@ikir

The simplest way (which I believe allow you to crunch faster since the Dnetc client do not need to fetch blocks by itself) is to manually fetch it...

For this, send an Email to fetch_at_distributed.net
and in the body put:
numblocks=1000
contest=OGR
.. After a few minutes (secs ?) you will receive the file to put in your dnetc folder with 1000 blocks to fetch !

Replace the file before it reaches 0 !

@AmiGame

No need to do that. In DNetC you go to the preference and change the order of the engine to start.
Mine is OGR then RC5 this tells the client to do OGR until it does not have anymore to do locally, then it will do RC5.
As I'm always online it is never out of OGR keys to crunch, so I'm never doing RC5

@ikir

All you have to do is go in to the configuration.

Go in to Buffer and Buffer update
then Load-Work Precedence
then make sure RC5-72 has =0 next to it and it won't download RC5 anymore

Then save your settings and you are done

@Atheist
Let's go, we will get the x86/Solaris Team in OGR-25 with more crunchers.

Thanks, i will switch to OGR then... do you know hot to do it also from console? Since OS X doesn't have a cool graphical client like OS4... my Quad Xeon can help as well Amiga Team. AmigaOne will crunch for sure tomorrow.

@ikir

I don't know how the MacOSX version works, but it should be the same as you did to configure it for your email address.... Else you can edit the ini file...

@ikir
With the MacOS X version you cannot help us as AmigaOS 4 group. Only with a AmigaOS 4 Hardware you can crunch for PPC/AmigaOS4.

@AmigaPapst

Wrong. Only with PowerPC based Amigas (WarpUp or PowerUP or AmigaOS 4) you can crunch for PPC/AmigaOS.

The PowerPC AmigaOS is a generic term to list the above. There are no specific stats for AmigaOS 4 only.

Hi AmigaPapst, ikir,

Yes, MacOS X* crunching won't add to the AOS PPC numbers, but it WILL increase our Distributed Amiga team numbers..... (Sorry, but I just had to say it to clear up any misunderstandings.)

We need all the crunching we can get to hold on to the no. 3 spot, as "Ars Technica Team Beef Roast" is very unpredictable, and there are an unknown amount of days left. Anywhere from 150 to 300. If they can do 300,000 to 400,000 more than us per day for ~200 days, they'll pass us.

We're too close to the end to lose 3rd place NOW!

Also, it's our last chance to show off as the others' computers keep increasing in power!

Just found out yesterday about the intel quad (yes, 4 of them) 32 bit CPUs @2.6 GHz. YIKES! It's only $2300 Can. (including tax) for a full Death Star system.... Really cheap. I'll post it in another thread. Still..... I'd rather have a PA-Semi Amiga with full 64 bit SMP AOS4.x @2.6 GHz or higher!!!!



* His Mac might even be an intel.

@Atheist

Did the rules for the participation change? I had a Windows system crunching when I was at work and an Amiga-system with WarpOS at home too.
Also the Windows crunching counted for the Amiga team. And what about crunching with Amithlon and Winuae? If you have a very fast Core2Duo, then it should be VERY fast. Will they notice that it's not a real Amiga, even if it's running AmigaOS?
