Update on OGR-25 Emergency

@porthan

It's not really on topic.

Back on the topic, will the acggbg proxy be updated in order to work with OGR-26 ?

@K-L

I sent an email to the proxy maintainer and he seems open to update but reluctant to put a beta software on it's server...

@abalaban

Thanks, pal

I'm guessing OGR is some kind of shared computing like seti-at-home or folding-at-home?

@Swoop

Doesn't really matter as there's no way to join. The Amiga.org dnetc site gives a link to join, but it doesn't work. I enter my email address, but it just says I don't exist, which is true.

@sundown

Well, you have to submit some packets first, and wait for the stats database to update (which as at midnight GMT every day), assuming you have configured your client correctly (i.e. put your e-mail in as the id). Once you show up, you can login there and assign your work to the Amiga team effort.

@Futaura

Thanks, how long does it take a G3 to upload some packets?
Does it upload as it runs or does it save the packets in a file until its ready to send?

@sundown

OGR packet size is variable, so it's hard to say - unless you happen to have some small packets, it's probably hours rather than minutes. The client will only normally flush packets once it has run out of packets to work on. However, via the GUI you can force it to flush any completed packets.

@Futaura

Ok, just flushed 8 packets, starting to understand how its working.

@sundown

Great, welcome amongst us

For information, my G3/800 (750Fx) does 8,8 Mn/s, I wonder if the 750GX will perform better.

@K-L

For sure the stats are not looking very impressive for AmigaOS PPC - given about 3000 of those 11000 Gnodes completed were from my A1 alone, there can't be many people running the AmigaOS PPC clients at the moment .

@Futaura

Oops seems I get back to acggbg proxy so my completed packets were still in output queue...

@Futaura

My client is running whenever my AmigaOne is turned on.

Today, it has been lit all the day long. It seems larger packets are now send to clients.

It's sad that with all the Sam and AmigaOne out there, very few people join us

@Futaura

I got my password & joined the 200: Distributed Amiga team, at least thats what it says if I enter my e-mail address & edit my profile. Not sure where the the first flushed packets went.

Benchmark is between 8.9-9.0 Mn/s, after each packet, it says 8.5-8.6 Mn/s.

@Futaura

Thanks, looks like I'm ok then. Another 351 Gnodes uploaded.

@Futaura

Hmm, the new dnetc client doesn't seem to do any RC5-72 work. Intentional or bug?

My relevant settings are such:
9) Load-work precedence ==> OGR-NG,RC5-72
12) Fetch work threshold ==> OGR-NG=10,RC5-72=9

@Monoxyde

You need to disable "Additional buffer-level checking" if you want to rotate between OGR-NG and RC5-72, unless you are offline at the time your OGR-NG in buffer becomes empty, in which case the client will automatically switch to RC5-72 until it is able to grab new work for OGR-NG.

@Futaura

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply.
I've now changed the "Additional buffer-level checking" value to 0 (was 4).
Still it didn't fetch any RC5-72 packets after an update...
No big deal though, as I'll be concentrating on OGR, but it'd be nice to do a RC5 packet once in a blue moon to retain my position, so any further suggestions are welcome
Using 507b btw.
