Thanks to Daniel for the heads up about optimized apps at DENIS. :thumbsup: +1
My new Skylake rig is finally built I've been crunching up a storm on DENIS using Crunch3r's optimized SSE4.1 app.
If anyone wants to have a go at DENIS, the optimized apps are much, much faster than the default apps, so the optimized app credit rate is currently very high. You can watch your credits zoom up quickly if you hanker for a burst of high credit crunching.
It's to do with heart disease research too, so project "worthiness" must be up there somewhere. Links to optimized apps can be found in DENIS forum.
Don't forget:
Denis Denis, oh with your eyes so blue
Denis Denis, I've got a crush on you
Denis Denis, I'm so in love with you
Oh when we walk it always feels so nice
And when we talk it seems like paradise
Denis Denis I'm so in love with you
Yep that's how I found out about it too, only just started crunching there yesterday trying out sesef's app ATM. So thanks Daniel :thumbsup: + karma
Sesef has a new AVX2 app. Supposedly 30% faster again. :crazy Only for those with late model model i7 - 4xxx series or better..
If in doubt about you CPU capabilities download CPU-Z. Haven't tried it myself as yet so can't comment on how fast it go's.

Aha, was about to post about it here myself. Sesef's AVX2 is 13-14% faster than Crunch3r's SSE 4.1 version on my Skylake i7 6700K. Smokin' :boom: v:
I'm not sure what magical juju you infused into your new rig kashi but it's insanely fast on DENIS. :shock I'm completely blown away by it's speed.
Enjoy buddy...
For anyone interested a DENIS challenge has just started on boincstats. So crunch em' if you got em' to help the team numbers.
http://boincstats.com/en/stats/challenge/team/chat/730 (http://boincstats.com/en/stats/challenge/team/chat/730)
:oz:
Yes I saw there was a challenge on.
Noticed some others were referencing the Blondie song, haha.
Was about to try "magical juju" :coolgleam: box on POGS now that I've reached 2 million but will stay for the challenge.
That will also allow me to upgrade from gold to platinum heart. :thumbsup:
Hmm, gold and platinum hearts of course reminded me of a wooden heart, go Elvis:
There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Treat me nice
Treat me good
Treat me like you really should
Cause I'm not made of wood
And I don't have a wooden heart
Songs, songs, what about ear worms? Watched RockWiz a few months ago and saw Normie Rowe performing Ooh La La. Not the greatest song, but man what an earworm. Was with me for almost a week and am still getting flashbacks now and again.
Lots of old songs popping into my brain lately for no apparent reason. Must be the start of senility, suddenly remembering songs from 40-50 years ago and forgetting what I had for breakfast. Good fun though, yesterday was the Monkees, Daydream Believer and I'm a Believer. My brother's got it too, yesterday his was Thunderclap Newman, Something in the Air and Hall & Oates, Rich Girl.
*LOL* It was almost a very short challenge. At at the start of the challenge the sudden surge of bunkered tasks reporting in and all wanting new tasks all at once for a time brought DENIS to it's knees.
Dennis@home is back up and running. It has a new URL https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/
This project is being reactivated and now requires that you activated stats export under GDPR rules in your profile.
Getting work for Dennis@home "New human ventricular cell model" and "Beta of DENIS-myocyte" tasks. Getting about 35 credits per hour per task.
Thanks Dingo :thumbsup:
Denis having a power outage before the big push on Monday. Hopefully they get it all sorted and there aren't any hiccups
"DENIS@home: Review of the electrical installation of the University // Revisión de la instalación eléctrica de la Universidad
Hi!
Due to a review of the electrical installation of the University, DENIS@home could be temporarily out of service today between 15:00 and 20:00 CEST.
Sorry for any inconvenience it may cause"
Quote[DENIS@Home] Project status update // Actualización del estado del proyecto
Dear volunteers,
I am writing to update you on how the different experiments we had launched have been going and the next steps we will take.
On the one hand, we have finished (at least temporarily) the optimization of our model. As we had already told you, with the results that you have sent us, we managed to greatly improve how our model represented different physiological markers, but a problem that we thought we had solved had reappeared. We have tried different options but it reappeared in all of them. That forces us to stop and take steps back in the definition of the model, so, for the moment, we will not be launching new simulations in NHuVe.
On the other hand, as we had told you, we are trying to use our optimization algorithm in another existing model. The results seem to be very good, but we have to work in parallel on their validation.
In the coming weeks we will be working on requesting funding from the Government of Aragon for a new research project that will use DENIS as a computing platform, so you may have noticed that our activity has decreased a little. If this goes well (hopefully!) we will keep you informed, but keep in mind that these things are slow so the answer will take months to arrive.
Thank you all very much for staying there and for your support.
Sincerely,
Jesus.

Dennis@Home has a bunch of work now.
Quote[DENIS@Home] Hard drive space crisis solved // Crisis de espacio en el disco duro resuelta
Dear volunteers,
This weekend we have broken a new record for computing Teraflops (since we are in this new stage of the project). This is thanks to the pace of sending results that you have been doing in recent days and being more stable in the generation of work packages.
Although we were monitoring it, the coincidence of this peak with the database backup on the weekend has caused the hard drive to become saturated sooner than expected. We have been working since Monday on moving data out of the server and even other processes, but as we gained space it kept filling up with results that were pending upload.
This morning, for the first time in two days, more tasks have been validated than have been received and little by little normality will return. At first, it doesn't seem like anything has been lost and we are already submitting work again.
We have expanded the space to receive results and are working on automating some of the tasks to ensure we can continue to grow.
Thank you all very much, if we have this type of problems it is because of the great support you give us, we will continue working to grow by your side.
Sorry for not answering in the forums, and thank you very much for be aware of the evolution.
All the best,
Jesus.
=====================================================
Estimados voluntarios:
Este fin de semana hemos batido un nuevo record de Teraflops de computación (desde que estamos en esta nueva etapa del proyecto). Esto es gracias al ritmo de envío de resultados que estáis haciendo en los últimos días y de estar más estables en la generación de paquetes de trabajo.
Aunque ibamos monitorizándolo, la coincidencia de este pico con la copia de seguridad de la base de datos en el fin de semana ha hecho que se saturara el disco duro antes de lo esperado. Hemos estado trabajando desde el lunes en mover datos fuera del servidor e incluso otros procesos, pero según ganábamos espacio se seguía llenando con los resultados que estaban pendientes de subir.
Esta mañana, por primera vez en dos días se han validado más tareas de las que se han recibido y poco a poco se irá retomando la normalidad. En principio, no parece que se haya perdido nada y ya estamos enviando trabajo de nuevo.
Hemos ampliado el espacio para recibir resultados y estamos trabajando en automatizar algunas de las tareas para garantizar que podemos seguir creciendo.
Muchas gracias a todos, si tenemos este tipo de problemas es por el gran apoyo que nos dais, seguiremos trabajando para crecer a vuestro lado.
Disculpad que no haya contestado en los foros, muchas gracias por estar tan pendientes de la evolución.
Un saludo,
Jesús.
