CheeseMan42 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I know my school (RIT) doesn't allow folding on the school computers. We've got some beastly computers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Ummmmm... Jackpot? that is actually the neatest cabinet wiring I've ever seen It's been a long time since I had a server room job but from what I remember, none of the racks in any server room at Pharmacia were that clean. That's awesome. The room temp is cold. I don't know the exact temp but coats are nearly a necessity. Yup, they're cold and LOUD. Just the sound of big AC unit fans running full and case fans humming all over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 The second rack of the teaching cluster is nearly done...had more than a few hardware problems today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Wow. I am a walking case of Murphy's Law. Not only have we run into power problems (whomever wired the room before us was a madman...how do you mess up a 500 amp circuit?) but we had multiple hardware failures today during benchmarking as well.

ir_cow Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I know my school (RIT) doesn't allow folding on the school computers. We've got some beastly computers. i know! i was trying to do that when i visited my friend at RIT hahaa alot of school computers have the fresh install mirrored and locked so when you reboot it goes back to it.

Waco Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 The teaching cluster is done, I should have time tomorrow to get folding on it: And yes, before anyone says anything, I know the racks are different and I know that my trunk wiring is sloppy as hell (the yellow wires bridging the two switches).

Bosco Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Hopefully you can get them folding I am dying to see what kinda of points it turns out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 This first one will probably be pretty disappointing. It's not all that fast in terms of today's computers (let alone GPUs) and it's not 64 bit capable...so no SMP client. The next few clusters will be the big point-mongers but they are a ways out, Nick and I have to balance school, research time, and building these things. As much as I'd like to get all of them online ASAP it just won't happen all that quickly. EDIT: My offhand calculations place it at anywhere from 9k to 25k depending on the workunit. I have the feeling the quads might do a * smidgen* better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLS2008 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 You can still run Windows SMP on 32-bit... It gets about 1400 PPD on my 2.8 GHz X9000 Core 2 Extreme dual core in my laptop on Vista Ultimat 32-bit. And just forget school, lol. And while you're at it, put off your research, it won't delay your Ph.D. or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Windows on a cluster? Yeah, that's not going to happen. Windows HPC Server 2008 is something we're going to toy around with on one of the newer clusters though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graememk Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 have you started to fold on the servers? just seen your ppd start to go way up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Nah, just had it running on my 4870X2 for a few days. We're still working on the clusters, the only one up right now is the teaching cluster (which is slow as hell). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
