  • What do YOU use to crunch WUs?

    I was just wondering what system(s) all you other SETIers are using (esp all you guys at the top). I think Maggi has mentioned his systems before but I've never seen Martin's, Hecubus, Breezer etc.

    I've got my own P2-350 running 24/7 but I use it during the day mostly and I'm storing a friends P3-500 for the summer. So, I've got it at 560Mhz and 24/7 !

    And, another point - does anybody know what the fastest system is? Some HPs? SGI?

    Paul.

          I'm crunching with 4 Compaq Deskpro EP (3 Cel400, 1 Cel466) in 24/7. At home I've an P3 500@560, but it's seems to be a bit slow (about 8-9 hours for one workunit :-()

          My system looks like:
          ABIT Bh6 MOBO
          Intel PIII500@560 MHz
          128 MB Kingston PC133 SDRAM

            Paul,

            Alpha's seem to be the fastest processors; check this page. Some funnies in there as well. I wonder who reported a "PowderPC"... Wouldn't be Maggi, would it? Naah, she wouldn't do that.

            Anyway, my systems:

            - 1 * PIII 450@504
            - 1 * PIII 450@450
            - 3 * 4-processor Xeon 550@550 (1 MB cache)
            - 1 * Celeron 400@450

            That last one is my home-machine, which isn't on too often. The other 5 machines (14 processors) run 24*7, but only do seti when there's nothing else to do. All machines run Linux.

              Paul,
              here's mine:
              P3-600@858, 256MB RAM
              P3-500@500, 128MB RAM
              Both crunch 24/7.

                Well, for now I use an assortment of PentiumIII and Athlon systems, but if I should ever hit those numbers on the lottery, just for fun, I might get one of these to crunch SETI units on..

                  I have access to,
                  9*Dell p3-450
                  I can crunch units on these in the evenings & we only.

                  During breaks I can crunch 40*p2/p3s 7*24.

                  Soon I will be replacing all our pentiums & pIIs with new p3/athlon machines. I will be able to crunch units during the burn in time b4 they are distributed.
                  --
                  Our 24*7 net access has been more like 6*2 lately so my unit count has been very lame. I don't use any caching at work as I like to leave the machines with no trace of seti on the hard drives.

                    Breezer: does that mean that you discard partly-finished WUs when you stop seti on the machines?

                    Paul: I know, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to get his panties in an even bigger knot... Err, well, maybe not panties then, eh?

                      this are the 24/7 machines that I have direct control over from my desk, then there is 3-4 more machines that I use occasionally, more or les when I have time to check if they are running.

                        You can see my home machine in my sig. At work I've got a PII 350 w/64mb RAM that is slow as mud. Well, actually, not that slow, it's pulling in 9-10hr units. My other work machine is a PII 333 w/128mb RAM that averages 11-12 hrs. My home machine is averaging 7-8hr units. It would be faster but that stupid epox board doesn't allow for 1mhz increments of OC'ing and the G200 isn't stable at 110FSB/73mhz AGP bus. So, I'm SOL on that front for the moment.

                          Man, thats a nice day here in Germany. We have now clouds in heaven and nearly 30°C here!
                          But now to the Topic.

                          Place 7 uses:
                          1x Athlon 650@750 with 1/2 L2 Cache 128MB Ram(my own rig)
                          1x PII-400 128MB Ram
                          1x Celeron 300A@450 with 64MB Ram
                          1x Celeron 333@375 with 64MB Ram (machine at work)
                          1xCeleron 300a
                          1xK6-2 350@400 with 128MB Ram (my machine at work)
                          1xPII 233@266 with 64MB Ram(machine at work, i build it to "learn" WinNT 4.0, thats the explanation for the guys above me, it is only alive to crunch SETI of course!).

                          That was it I think. The 450 Celeron , the 300a and the PII 400 crunch 24/7d a week and deliver the WU's every day. All over PC's also crunch 24/7d a week but have a cache of 20 WU's before they send them in.

                          Mega
                          K6-3 400Mhz@450Mhz
                          G400 16MB, 192MB Ram and so on

                            Its 32C here in sunny england & stuck in the office.

                            ees,
                            I have a batch file that copies the files from my network directory to the local machines and back again when they shut down.

                            Doing this stops seti from showing up in software audits and having the hard disks wiped.

                            I take home 80%+ units to finish off as I still don't have free web access thanks to NTL not being able to provide a cable modem or an authorisation disk.

                              2 Data General Aviion 1400 2*700 MHz PIII processors; 1GB RAM

                              3 Data General Aviion 2800 2*500 MHz Xeon processors w/1MB cache; 1GB RAM

                              Wish they were mine, but all company owned
                              You should've seen my stats climb in the chart. Gonna be in the top 100 in no time!

                              I heard Seti is almost out of WUs. ANy truth to this? And, if it is true, are they gonna give us another project?
