From the master server of my new 7 node cluster for Folding at Home.

-Up to two clusters
-First cluster 6 nodes, second cluster 7 nodes
-Third cluster in the works consisting of 8 P4 machines 6 of which are Socket 775
-Cluster 1 = 5.3ghz
-Cluster 2 = +8ghz
-Cluster 3 expected to be above 15ghz possibly 20
-13 total nodes as of 4/22/07

-Each node is individual of itself
-Runs XP SP2
-Minimalistic design consumes less electricity by not using unnecessary hardware (soundcards, high end gfx cards, etc.)

Pics tomorrow, bedtime now. 1000ppd here I come.

not bad, you should have done this over the winter would have saved you some cash on that heat bill

j-dogg · 23-April-07, 11:42 PM

Lol, I live in Florida near the beach we dont have winter, we have "cooling spells"

raptor87 · 24-April-07, 01:18 AM

ah well props on your folding efforts anyways

lokies_mom · 24-April-07, 09:10 AM

Thank you j-dogg, God knows we it. ROCK ON WITH YOUR BAD SELF !!

vf1000ride · 24-April-07, 10:01 PM

I have this sinking feeling, that is gonna put alot of people back on your overtake list. Good luck with it and I hope it folds well for you.

j-dogg · 25-April-07, 05:10 PM

Oh no, it gets better people, today while riding around doing my cable thing I found not one, but TWO high-end systems on the side of the road. An MSI custom build and an e-Machines. the e-Machines came with a 15" LCD flatscreen and it's an xp2600 with 512mb ram. The other is a 2.93ghz Celeron D with 256mb of RAM, and a 3gb HDD /screw flanders

About to test them to see if they are good. Should add another 150 - 200ppd. /oh snap

j-dogg · 25-April-07, 10:50 PM

Well **** I haven't even got the first one finished and already I have jumped up to 32nd. God I can't imagine what will happen when I get these bad boys up and running.

So far the Celeron system is updating to Windows XP SP2. I have it clocked to 3.2ghz, as high as the board will let it go.

I heard Celly D's were excellent overclockers. Was there any truth to this?

EDIT: Also I have gotten the other machine, an XP2600, up and running as well. This is an xp2600 T-bred though, not a Barton.

Still an awesome setup. Up to 14 nodes, 2 nodes and 5ghz added in one day, at only the cost of the electricity to run it all.

EvilClown · 26-April-07, 02:00 AM

And to think just one or two Playstation 3's would surpass all of that in production.

As far as Celeron D's being excellent overclockers, yup, the newer ones built around the prescott core, do 7Ghz on DICE/LN2 easy as cake.

Dammit,You Passed me in points

.

I might pass you back though (For a bit...),one folding servers down and im sitting on 7 fineshed beta units.

keep up the good work j-dogg.

THRiLL KiLL · 26-April-07, 12:08 PM

where do you live??? i need to move =)

j-dogg · 26-April-07, 07:12 PM

Why is a 3ghz Celeron D folding marginally faster than a P3 1ghz?

Couldn't tell ya, it's just a neutered P4 Prescott, which aren't too bad of folders, so sounds like something is fubar.

Fred_G · 26-April-07, 09:35 PM

Great job Jdog! I just had a Linux folder go down, got it back up. But damn, I have gotten 0 points today. Hopefully Friday will be a good day for me.

What unit is it running?
Post your Fah log if possible, and i'll figure it out for you.

j-dogg · 27-April-07, 12:24 AM

I think it's a 100 frame unit. Using the 5.04 console (no graphical bs)

the p3 1ghz next to it is using the same 5.04 client software and folds about a frame an hour, as does the celly 3ghz.

the log is on the other cluster I'm posting from cluster 1.

ill get the log for you tomorrow.

Jobistober · 27-April-07, 02:48 AM

What kind of hardware are you using in your clusters? ITX? And what's your HPC software since you're clustering with XP?

But that's some impressive computing power you have there!

Add this flag for a more detailed log output. -verbosity 9

just edit the shortcut to look like this thumbnail

As Jobistober said, what app are you using in XP to cluster, and my question is on top of that is why?

PK (Parralell Knoppix) runs from a CD, and you can run a master node that will run the OS onto the other boxes and it can F@H great. With PK you will save about 84% of you network usage and It will Fold about 50% faster (less resourses being used, unless you nLited the XP install to a such minimal design that it literally uses only F@H and you shut down explorer)
