    IC1 was producing 500+ points a week.
    Unfortuantely, this last week has been really low b/c my ISP keeps dropping my cable modem connection.
    Things should be fixed now, so expect it to go back up a bit.

    OK, here is the weekly production of the SMx project. Stats were taken from Statsman's stats on 9/19/03 at 0100 hours GMT(for our friends across the pond that don't know how to convert from American time zones):usflag: .

    You will notice that I've numbered all the systems as SMx instead of their folding names. This is because this project belongs to Short-Media, hense calling them SMx no matter the name they are folding under.;)
    OK, here is how the SMx project has done the last 7 days:

    SM1 - 503.30 points/week, 11,079.40 points total
    SM2 - 563.40 points/week, 13,368.40 points total
    SM3 - 244.19 points/week, 6,894.52 points total
    SM4 - 365.50 points/week, 11,888.00 points total
    SM5 - 286.26 points/week, 5,077.06 points total
    SM6 - 216.00 points/week, 6,921.85 points total
    SM7 - 83.40 points/week, 7,123.09 points total
    SM8 - 168.81 points/week, 7,097.72 points total
    SM9 - 198.00 points/week, 6,859.72 points total
    SM10 - 0.00 points/week, 3,547.58 points total
    SM11 - 473.00 points/week, 12,272.10 points total
    SM12 - 83.40 points/week, 2,631.67 points total
    SM13 - 254.69 points/week, 5,400.59 points total
    SM14 - 161.78 points/week, 4,327.58 points total
    SM15 - 51.40 points/week, 1,716.88 points total
    SM16 - 0.00 points/week, 3,689.77 points total
    SM17 - 154.20 points/week, 1,871.77 points total
    SM18 - 264.58 points/week, 1,419.38 points total
    SM19 - 64.00 points week, 64.00 points total

    :fold:The overachievers this week are SM1 and SM2, both with over 500 points this week.:respect:

    :fold:Very closely following them is SM11, with nearly 500 points this week.:cool:

    :fold:The following rigs all put a great week folding in with 200 points or better for the week: SM3, SM4, SM5, SM6, SM13, AND SM18. Way to go, you all! :thumbsup:

    :fold:We had another SMx rig go active this week and has already turned in 64 points. Welcome to the project, SM19!:fold: :woowoo:

    Finally, we get the underachievers for the week. :hrm:

    SM7 only produced 83 points this week; I noticed it was down for a while the other day and sent an email to Wahoogie about it. I never heard back from him but he finally has the rig back folding.

    SM12 also produced only 83 points this week. That rig has a 1.33/266 Tbird in it. Even though the mobo can only run a 200 fsb, that proc's multiplier should be set for 12.5 and be producing more points than this.:confused:

    SM15 has only produced 51 points this week. It has not turned in a WU since 9/14/03. What the hell is going on, reelbigfish? It only takes a couple of minutes a day to check a folding rig out, even headless. I know because I monitor one of my dually rigs that way with TightVNC.:mad: If you have to shut the rig down for some reason, then post it up and keep everyone informed, RBF.

    SM10 is still down, with Shenlong not having it folding. However, I did notice that he has managed to have 3 processors folding for Digital Ferret, which isn't even in existence any more.:mad2: :banghead:

    SM16 is also down with hardware problems and Necropolis_uk on vacation. I hope he can get our UK based SMx rig back in operation when he gets back.

    Total points produced by the SMx project for this week was 4,135.91 points.:ninja:

    Total points awarded to all the SMx rigs for the project stand at 11,3251.08 points.:thumbsup::respect:

    SM4 lost ground after some downtime for a PSU swap. I hope she gets back to her 500+ points/week pace.

    Well, it's a couple days early but seeing that I have to go to work in a few hours, I will give a breakdown of our production this week. Stats were taken from Statsman at 0:00 hrs CDT.

    SM1 - 585.00 points/week, 11,518.40 points total
    SM2 - 622.30 points/week, 13,816.20 points total
    SM3 - 298.78 points/week, 7,062.40 points total
    SM4 - 481.00 points/week, 12,246.70 points total
    SM5 - 300.26 points/week, 5,230.64 points total
    SM6 - 238.00 points/week, 7,127.85 points total
    SM7 - 239.40 points/week, 7,279.09 points total
    SM8 - 176.64 points/week, 7,225.32 points total
    SM9 - 248.00 points/week, 7,075.72 points total
    SM10 - 184.00 points/week, 3,731.58 points total
    SM11 - 412.00 points/week, 12,566.10 points total
    SM12 - 0.00 points/week, 2,631.67 points total
    SM13 - 225.19 points/week, 5,574.38 points total
    SM14 - 119.49 points/week, 4,387.58 points total
    SM15 - 109.18 points/week, 1,826.06 points total
    SM16 - 0.00 points/week, 3,689.77 points total
    SM17 - 257.00 points/week, 2,077.37 points total
    SM18 - 330.90 points/week, 1,625.28 points total
    SM19 - 151.55 points week, 183.55 points total

    :fold: The overachievers this week are SM1 and SM2, with SM2 over the 600 point/week mark and SM1 in the very high 500 range.
    :respect: What kind of steroids do you guys have those boxes on?:D

    :fold: In the 400 point/week range we have SM4 and SM11.:thumbsup: That is some great production, the both of you.

    :fold: In the 300 point/week range we have SM5 and SM18. That is some really good production out of those pally's, guys:rockon:

    :fold: In the 200 range we have SM3, SM6, SM7, SM9, SM13 and SM17. That is some fine, steady production there. In this group is the only 2 Intel P3 machines we have in the project so far. Gromacs sure makes a big difference with those 2 rigs. Just missing the 300 point/week range was SM3. :Rocker:

    :fold: In the 100 point/week range we have SM8, SM10, SM14, SM15 and SM19. After a long time being down while Shenlong was in boot camp, SM10 is back in action.:woowoo: Hotrod, I see that you are getting small point WU's; are you doing genomes with that rig? Something might have changed the preferences in your config to G@H only and genomes don't give nearly the point value per hour of processing as even a Tinker WU does. RBF, are you having problems with the frog machine? I see that it hasn't turned in any work since 9/21/03, according to Stanford. You folded a few WU's and then no production again.:confused: Let us know if you are having problems.

    Finally, we have 2 rigs with no production this week. SM12 hasn't turned in a WU since 9/17/03. What is the matter with the rig, Film?:scratch: Also, SM16 is still out of action and Necropolis_uk is on vacation (that lucky dog).

    The folding production for this week stands at 4,978.69 points/week. Total points contributed by the project stands at 116,875.66.:fold::fold::fold: Once we get the 2 down rigs back folding, the project should be cranking out more than 5,000 points/week for Team 93 and F@H.:cool:

    Every machine should be over 300 points per week. Thats less than a 50 pointer every 2 days. I know every single machine can do better than that.

    I am getting Gromacs at the moment that take about 2 days and I am getting pathetic amounts of points for them, less than 50pts....

    IC1 should be producing between 600 and 700 points a week.
    My ISP has been going down a lot lately, and IC1 has been locking up. I think it is the PSU, but I am not sure.

    14 is running the normal no frills client with no tweaking. In fact, short of checking the log periodically to ensure that yes indeed it is still folding, I've done nothing with that box.

    At the risk of sounding ignorant, what could/should I be doing to improve it's folding, as well as my own?

    Ditto, how did you get it so high......

    I am just able to reach 1000 with 3 machines running.....

    AXP2000+
    P4 Northwood 2.4ghz and an
    AXP2300+

    Plus the top 2 are now dedicated folding machines........

    I feed IC11 Wheaties. That keeps her fat and happy. On a cool note, she's been runnin smooth since July 30 without a restart or break.
    I check her log over our household network. Just share the folding folder and go.

    Fine then. :rolleyes:

    tbred 1700b@2.4ghz (14.5x166) running XP.
    Using 3.25 console client with -advmethods and -forceasm. :)

    I plan on adding another instance due to the recent ISP issues.
    Hopefully the second instance will keep her going till things get resolved. :)

    SLK-800a with a 37CFM/30db 80mm Thermaltake case fan.
    Runs around 50C full-load.

    I am looking into designing a watercooling setup that can be used to cool multiple PCs. If I decide to go with it, IC1 will really overclock! :D

    Or since winter is on the way, I might get IC1 on wireless and set her up in my uninsulated garage. She loves the cold weather here in Canada! :)

    WTG on getting the 1700+ up so HIGH. Is that still on the ECS board?

    Great link. After reading it, I don't think the pump is really powerful enough.
    Plus, since I plan on moving, I don't want to start such a huge project until I am settled into my new place.

    Well I think the stick of RAM in SM4 is starting to show signs of strain. I had some problems earlier and now it's only running 160x11. I should be able to run a stick of PC2700 @ 166, but I can't get it stable even at that speed. :grumble:

    hey guys, I apologize for the non-communication, school has been kicking my ass all over the place. I've determined that SM15 can't be overclocked. It locks up, even though the memory and mobo can take it. It probably is because of when the fan died and it folded for a while with just the HSF on. It's be chuggin on a unit without crashing so I think she'll be ok.

    Don't sweat it. You are doing your duty. The original intent with the "Donated Computer Project" was for the computers to be run at default specifications. The overclocking was merely an option for those machines that were capable and for those hosts who were interested in the tweaking.

    Thanks for supporting your team. :wave:

    SM19 Burn In is complete, and I meet Burn in.:rarr:

    The PC locked up and crashed yesterday... and wouldn't restart. The fans would start to move then stop. I took my server's power supply out and tried that... Hey!!! Works great. Then I tested the old power supply. Smell burnt and the 12v and 5 v were way low and they could not handle a load. After I tested the system for a while withour problems, I tried to overclock it a bit and the system become unstable. I do not have much knowledge on OC a AMD 1.4 GHz chip. I can see the bridges really easily... Can I do the bridge connect trick? Should I?


    BTW... SM19 finally received a nice 50 pt Work Unit. Should be done today some time!!!!

    Well, here is what the SMx project has contributed to Team 93 and the Folding@Home project in the last week. Stats are from Statsman's site on 10/10/03 at 0600 hours CDT.

    SM1 - 114.70 points/week, 12,221.50 points total
    SM2 - 635.20 points/week, 15,110.80 points total
    SM3 - 155.05 points/week, 7,335.52 points total
    SM4 - 380.00 points/week, 12,990.50 points total
    SM5 - 314.64 points/week, 5,790.77 points total
    SM6 - 181.79 points/week, 7,591.04 points total
    SM7 - 222.70 points/week, 7,809.17 points total
    SM8 - 434.58 points/week, 8,038.51 points total
    SM9 - 249.29 points/week, 7,597.80 points total
    SM10 - 157.98 points/week, 4,009.15 points total
    SM11 - 457.50 points/week, 13,343.40 points total
    SM12 - 0.00 points/week, 2,631.67 points total
    SM13 - 241.37 points/week, 6,081.22 points total
    SM14 - 203.58 points/week, 4,782.44 points total
    SM15 - 180.64 points/week, 2,313.86 points total
    SM16 - 0.00 points/week, 3,689.77 points total
    SM17 - 102.80 points/week, 2,434.77 points total
    SM18 - 208.71 point/week, 1,865.99 points total
    SM19 - 297.93 points/week, 654.77 points total

    The highest producer this week by far is SM2 with 635.20 points.:respect: Way to go, redoulent; that's really having that Tbred humming.:respect:

    The SMx rigs in the 300-500 pointweek production are SM4, SM5, SM8, and SM11.:clap::clap::clap: That is some great production from all those rigs.:thumbsup:

    In the 200-300 point/week range, we have SM7, SM9, SM13, SM14, SM18, and SM19.:D That is some good, steady production from those rigs, which also includes our 2 P3 rigs in the SMx project. Who would have ever thought that those old P3 rigs would turn out so many steady points in the 200-300 points/week range week after week when we built those rigs.:cool:

    Rigs that turned in 100-200 points in the last week include SM1, SM3, SM6, SM10, SM15, and SM17. Let's get those rigs humming along, you all. If you are having problems with the rig, please post up a thread to see if we can help resolve the problem.:)

    Finally, we have 2 rigs that aren't folding, for whatever reason.:( SM12 has been down for almost a month, with no word that I've seen from Film on what is wrong.:scratch: :confused2 And SM16, the UK based rig, is still down. Is there any hope of getting it back up and running, Nec?:(

    I've noticed that we have a few of the SMx rigs that are running palamino XP's in them that don't seem to be producing as many points as they should be able to. You people that have the palamino procs should try running the beta 3.25 clients and use the -forceasm and the -advmethods flags in your startup shortcut to maximize the folding ability of those procs. The palamino procs don't suffer from the SSE bug problem that some of the Tbred B procs do and will fold just fine when using the SSE optimizations. The palamino XP's will actually fold Gromacs faster at stock speeds while using the SSE optimizations than folding Gromacs overclocked while using 3DNow! optimizations. This also holds true for the Morgan core Durons. The use of the SSE optimizations really made a difference in the P3 rigs; turned them from relative dogs to great, steady producers.:)

    Total points contributed by the SMx project this week were 4,538.46 points. :fold:
