RedRaider Technology Team - Getting Started

[Baleful]

This page will show you how to install and configure WCG.


If you already participate in the World Community Grid project, click here (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=X2BX9KBJ5V1), then click on the join now button on the page that appears.


If you do not participate in the World Community Grid project and are new, click here (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/reg/viewRegister.do?teamID=X2BX9KBJ5V1). When you register, the team will be automatically selected for you. You still need to download and install the World Community Grid software. Download and installation tips are below


Download and Installation Tutorial

This tutorial assumes you have completed the steps above, if not, complete those first.


Step 1: Click here (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/reg/ms/viewDownloadAgain.do) to download the BOINC client. Then click the "Download now" button.

Step 2: Click Run

Click run, again
http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/Liquid_Bale/Step2clickrunagain.jpg


Click Next
http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/Liquid_Bale/Step2clicknext.jpg


Agree to the Terms, and click Next
http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/Liquid_Bale/Step2Agree.jpg


Leave the install path directory to it's defaults
http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/Liquid_Bale/Step2leavedefault.jpg


Click on Install
http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/Liquid_Bale/Step2clicktoinstall.jpg


Click the check box to run the BOINC program, then click Finish.
If this is your first install of BOINC, you will be prompted to restart your machine before BOINC will launch.
http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/Liquid_Bale/Step2finish.jpg


After BOINC starts, you will be prompted to login. Your login information is whatever you registered with at World Community Grid.
http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/Liquid_Bale/Logininfo_1.png


Click Finish
http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/Liquid_Bale/Finish_2.png


Click on "Advanced View" at the bottom right corner.
http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/Liquid_Bale/Clickadvanced_3.png


Running BOINC in Advanced view is much easier to manage and I highly recommend it for new users.
http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/Liquid_Bale/Advancedview_4.png



That's it! You should now have BOINC fully installed. You don't have to do anything else. BOINC automatically runs by itself, and updates the work it completes automatically.

WCG setup guide by aldamon (http://www.hardforum.com/member.php?u=3678) from [H]ard|OCP

1. Click here (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/reg/viewRegister.do) to register for the WCG project. Enter your ID, password, Email address, etc. Click Continue.
2. Under Available Projects, select the projects you would like to crunch or select Participate in All Projects to crunch all of the WCG Projects. Click Continue.
3. The download screen displays but I recommend downloading the generic BOINC client instead of the default WCG client because it is updated more frequently. In another window or tab, click here (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php) to download BOINC.
4. Back on the WCG registration page, since you've downloaded BOINC from another source, scroll down to the bottom of the Download page, and click clicking here to explore the rest of World Community Grid.
5. Under Join a Team, click To search for a team to join, click here.
6. Under Contains, enter RedRaider Technology. Click Search.
7. Scroll down and click RedRaider Technology . Under Team Control Panel, Click join this team.
8. Install the BOINC client. Instead of installing the default settings, install with the Advanced options and deselect Use BOINC Screensaver. We're [H]ard. We're not interested in running BOINC in a screensaver :p. After installing, restart your system.
9. After Windows finishes booting, the Attach to Project window displays. Click Next.
10. The Choose a Project window displays. Select World Community Grid. click Next.
11. Enter your WCG Username and Password. Click Next.
12. Click Finish. BOINC runs. BOINC starts and BOINC Manager are loaded into the task bar automaticallly on startup.
13. In BOINC Manager, click Advanced > Preferences. Choose your options. Click OK.

[ballz0r]

arrrg what a newb... ive been running the wrong project for the past 2 months!!!

ive never been big on reading the instructions :)

[ballz0r]

hey is there any way we can get our GPUs crunching?

when I load BOINC it saye its detected cuda

[Septim]

the only project available for GPU crunching is SETI...
still waiting on WCG for GPUs...

[ballz0r]

can i run seti and wcg at the same time?

[Baleful]

I'm not sure about running setti and wcg at the same time, untill WCG gets us a client that will crunch on our GPU's, I run F@H on them.

[ballz0r]

sweet.... ill do that

[Floyd]

Im up and crunching.

[ballz0r]

:welcome: to the team :up:

[coolmiester]

Im up and crunching.

Watch it Floyd, its addictive :coke:

[Baleful]

Im up and crunching.

Welcome Floyd! We were #47 in the world for points per day, yesterday! We are moving up quick, thank you for your contribution.

[Floyd]

Thanks guys! I might only crunch a few hours a day but every little bit helps.

I would run it all day but I pay the electric bills around here lol.

[coolmiester]

Thats better, just reinstalled Windows 7 on me bench Skulltrail and all is well so thats 6 i've got crunching which adds up to quite a few cores.

[mcoffey]

You'll be a monster...you'll have a blast once they start rolling in...caution..this shit can get more addictive than crack:rofl:

:coke:

Now you tell me...........i'll have to sign up the AA of the crunching world :D

:coke:

[Baleful]

LMAO CM, yeah it gets pretty bad. The only thing I've found that helps the urge, is to just buy more rigs to crunch!

Hell, before you know it you'll be putting rigs on to crunch that don't even belong to you!

[Ebdain]

Hell, before you know it you'll be putting rigs on to crunch that don't even belong to you!

That gives me an idea....

[spunlex]

Just joined today, and I can already see how this could get addicting

[akarobo99]

Welcome. Just wait, numbers start coming in and you just want to see more. Good to have you.

[ballz0r]

:welcome: to the team

[mcoffey]

Just joined today, and I can already see how this could get addicting

Oh yeah, and a lot of fun. Plus getting good high solid clocks when crunching on WCG sharpens the skilz too.

Great to have you join the team and thanks,

That gives me an idea....

Welcome, and I bet I know what it is. Great to have you join us.

Welcome. Just wait, numbers start coming in and you just want to see more. Good to have you.

Thanks for joining the team and have a blast. Great group of guys here.

andyc

[Septim]

Ebdain, Spunlex, akarobo99 Welcome to the team. its all fun and competition here and that nice warm feeling that we've done something good for mankind...

[Baleful]

Welcome, to everyone who is new here. I really appreciate you guys contributing to the team. We're a close group that love to push each other further, and our team is moving up in the ranks quick. If anyone needs anything, just shoot me a PM.

Thanks guys,

Jordan

[Silverion77]

Sweet...

I believe i just got my client running
Glad to be part of the team :up:

Can i be green now :D

Edit: So if i want to stop crunching when im gaming, i just have to close it correct?

[Hondacity]

there is a pause button :)

[Silverion77]

that works too...*doh*

[Baleful]

Hey Silverion77, thanks for being a part of the team. This is what I do for heavy gaming:

Switch to Advanced View, Under Activity, I press suspend. This will keep it paused until you tell it to run again.

99% of the time I just let it run at 100% though, only a few of the more demanding games will want more resources.

[NeKoS]

Well, I have a few laptops and desktops at home. I guess I could put them to use...


Well, I have signed up and have my laptop at work working for the team. I will get my computers at home jumping on this also.

[Baleful]

Awesome NeKoS, glad to have you on the team!

[mcoffey]

Greta stuff NeKoS and thanks for helping out:up:

have a blast, crunching is big time fun when on a great team like we have here.

andyc

[Septim]

Silverion77, Nekos thank you guys for supporting our team. Crunch On!

[Baleful]

The tutorial has been revamped on Page 1 (http://www.realredraider.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=4806#post4806). Let me know what you think.

[Timlander]

Dont worry guys. I have joined your ranks. And once im all situated here ill be up and crunching for us as well. =)

[Septim]

baleful nice well illustrated guide. :coolup:

[saike]

I'm trying to set this up on my Ubuntu fileserver at home and I'm confused to hell as to what I'm supposed to supply for the password to connect to the core client. Is anyone here running this on a Linux machine that can help me set this up?
________
VAPORITE TUBE (http://vaporizer.org)

[slpdLoad]

Should just be your WCG username and password. I've got a couple 24/7 machines running Ubuntu.

[saike]

I got boinc_cmd to work, but only under the /var/lib/boinc-client directory, for some reason I keep getting an authorization error when I run it outside this directory.

Are you running those machines headless?
________
Zx14 vs hayabusa (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Which_bike_is_quicker_kawasaki_zx_-14_or_suzuki_hayabusa)

[slpdLoad]

If you don't run it from the installed directory, boinccmd checks against the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file.

Check
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Boinccmd

and
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Controlling_BOINC_remotely

[saike]

Thanks slpdLoad! Apparently after you install it from the repository, it starts the daemon without --allow_remote_gui_rpc. After adding it in my default config and restarting the daemon, I was able to run boinc_cmd anywhere.

Welcome to the team Marne. Yes, crunching is addicting, especially after you drop your :dick: in some cherry pie :D. Ahhh, the quest for the cherry is the most addtive aspect of this.

Check out the pie thread if you have no idea what I'm talking about :up:

[Floyd]

Yup just let it chug away and it you are like me and only let it run for maybe 2-4 hours a day its fine to shut it down and it will be fine when you kick it on the next time.

[Septim]

Nice! Welcome to the Team!

[Oli4v]

psst my Q9550@4Ghz is crunchin for RRtech since, well, a while For as long as i'm busy on my V2000b case (ouch, gotta start a log ...), Best burn in for a cpu is runnin' this for months !

could also get some more cores crunching, but I don't 4 is enough to me :)

[Floyd]

I had my rig cruching through last night and its been going all day. Its going to be hot as shit in that room when I get home.

[Tiny]

Just joined and am running it now.

[Septim]

Nice, and Welcome to the team.

[NeverGive7]

Just joined up and am running a project now. I have a couple of questions though.
1. Does it matter what project I run?
2. If it shows RRT as my team on the WCG Stats page then all my points are counted towards RRT correct?

[Crazy V]

[Liu Kang]

[RedRaider]

Cravy V is mustering up the troops...:army: :army: :army: :army:

[Crazy V]

I'll leave them running 24/7. Should have 3 more up in a day or 2. AC is on and running strong. LOL

[Overclocking101]

ok mine arent reporting like they should. I get 3 or 4 ready to report before even one reports WTF. kind of annioying im like cracking out on it wait to start more projects!

[Overclocking101]

is there a way to manually make them report?? got 5 ready that still havent reported been all day.

[slpdLoad]

Go to the Projects tab, click on World Community Grid in the list, and click the Update button on the left. All completed tasks should upload in a few seconds.

[NeverGive7]

Oh man I have been fucking the pooch so hard the last two days... :db:

I accidently jumped on the Cosmology project and earned them some points, fuck ! Anyways, got my n00b ass on the WCG and everything should be straight now..... I was wondering why my points weren't showing on the stats page, now I know. :crack:

[CrUzEr]

:partyline1:I have joined the team:partyline1:
now lets fucking crunch :coke: and harden the fuck up :bird:

[0xygenthief]

Well, I am 8 days too late to compete in the competition you guys are running so I won't win any prizes but its for a good cause. I'm in!

thats the fucking spirit guys! we apriciate the help you are bringing to the team!

[Overclocking101]

Well, I am 8 days too late to compete in the competition you guys are running so I won't win any prizes but its for a good cause. I'm in!

thats not true m8! it goes on percent of personal gain yes but im sure we could figure out a way to include new members in the competition as long as the others agree to it im down to have you join the comp.

[Overclocking101]

Also on a different note, are some work unit worth more bionic points than others?? some days I will turn in like 40 or so wu and still get around the same pts or less sometimes seems like the more wu's i turn in in one day the less points I get?? most wu take about 4hrs for my i7 to crunch but some can take as little as 1hr

[Crazy V]

I say let them join we need more contestants in this contest.

[spunlex]

Also on a different note, are some work unit worth more bionic points than others?? some days I will turn in like 40 or so wu and still get around the same pts or less sometimes seems like the more wu's i turn in in one day the less points I get?? most wu take about 4hrs for my i7 to crunch but some can take as little as 1hr

Different WU are worth different amounts of points, it depends mostly on the length of time you and others took to complete it. If you check out the WCG web site you can see how many points each WU was worth and if the value was changed after you returned the WU. Some projects seem to be worth more than others but it varies so I stopped keeping track

[Overclocking101]

so my main rig is updating and runnig fine with my buddies borrowed i7, but my back up cruncher with Q6600 will not submit on its own I have to manually submit otherwise the finished units just stack up, I litterally just manually reported 20 units. WTF! I have it set to connect online every 0.10 days and never ask to connect first WTF.

[bdtechnical]

Yep I'm officially a RRtech Cruncher. Damn it feels good to be a crunchsta! Hey Red just wondering when I get the cool colored username and so i can customize my info.

I joined and upped my overclock hopefully that will help this pos amd chip.

[becandl]

I'm back up and crunching again boys

[cyriene]

Glad to have you guys crunching :crack:

I just start working on milkyway@home on my 6950s. Their client is well optimized for ATI cards and now that my cards are wet I don't mind loading them.

[mdh]

Up and crunching...

Shame they dont have a sparc solaris client, I got a fuck ton of those sitting idle

It should be floating around somewhere on the net
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/DownloadOther

But it appears it might be only compatible with SETI@home... :shrug: Ask around, research it some more, there appears to be a few things on the net about it. :up:
