Just make a common FR team name, like "Bob, George, Jimmy"...

Hey, that's a great idea! Everybody change their name to Derllak.

Thursday mornin' bump

Most cars and trucks have liquid cooled engines. The air cooled fraction continues to drop.

Tell me where you live so I can come steal your computer. I'm looking forward to Oblivion too, but I'm going to have to crank down the options to get it to run. I have a 2 GHz processor with 1 GHz RAM--not too bad, but then I've got a Radeon 9600SE. Poor me!

Oblivion will be the first real test of it. 2.4ghz AMD 4000 64+, 2gb ram, Geforce 7800GTX 256, 250gb Sata 3G/Sec drive. I suspect I can run Oblivion just about at max. I may have to trim shadows back, but I think I'll be able to go full Anti Aliasing and anisotropic filtering at 1280 without much trouble. The rumor is March 20, but I think it'll push just a week or two beyond that. Say April 1 to be safe.

It really looks like an exceptional game!

Our production has been dropping since yesterday morning.

We're down to the 4,000 points/update range now

[ahayes]

I'm bogged down with long jobs, estimated completion 3, 4, 5 and 8 days from now. Please don't hit me--I'm folding as fast as I can! ;-)

"Our production has been dropping since yesterday morning."

Probably because the 500-800 pt Double Gromacs Cores have stopped or slowed down (a least for me... I haven't had one in a few days on any of my 5 nodes).

12pm update - 7,872 points :)

3pm update - 8,179 points

"Our production has been dropping since yesterday morning."

So has our postings. Is this usual for the middle of the week?

I think it's just that we're on about an average of 36 hour completion times or longer. I'm bouncing like a Yo-Yo.

[abner]

Ok... on 3 of 4 computers, I've got 20,000 frames... Yikes!

[SC Swamp Fox]

The graphs in reply #37 have been updated.

I've noticed that our production on weekends is usually a little lower. I attribute this to some office computers being off over weekends. Some home PCs might see higher usage during weekends, I know mine does.

The theads do slow down a bit during the week.

Any thoughts as to why our daily points fluctuate so much more than theirs? With more members - most of whom have more machines (a few many more) it would seem our output would be much smoother, not more irregular. Puzzling.

High end machines draw tougher units that last longer. We flop up, then down, then up, etc.

That's my case anyway. Pretty much, with the exception of my three thoroughbreds that drop a unit per day, my 2-3ghz machines seem to be in a 36 hour schedule.

It's actually somewhat of an illusion caused by the scale of the graph. As a percentage, their fluctuations are just as large.

Our average is 55k, a 15% variation is 8,250.
Their average is 17k, a 15% variation is 2,550.

The upside on those big frame numbers...you complete a frame in like 10 seconds or so. It's not as dire as it appears :)

[HangThemHigh]

Good analysis. Looks can be deceiving, so it seems.
