516/1250 going pretty fast

if my calculations are correct SLINKY + ESCULATOR = EVERLASTING FUN

First work unit completed and I got 73 points for it.
it was a sized at 1600.

Right now I am doing a 400, p_625_TL2_EXT

I love how my althon XP 2200+ and 512MB of DDR ram is able to cut through these in a realitively short amount of time.

btw....Team Ranking (incl. aggregate) 105

Fly it like you stole it!

104 now, and we should be in the top 100 by this time tomorrow :) Beers all round

Wow! We are kicking serious tail!

I'm ready for an update on the stats... Rich?

Simon (sfc) is punching through some serious workunits!

We rock, we're in the top 100!!!!!
Take a look here. Oke, still at the bottom of the page, but nevertheless!!

Don't underestimate your ability to screw up!

100!!!! Cheers (cracks a berr)

Who is going to get pied for this one

I don't have a lot of WU's done but I am getting the ones worth some real points. so far I have only done WU's over 1000.
I'll have to get some more people to let me use their computer time.

Cajones started it, but jfieldshas the highest score.
Hard decision. Ah ha both of them.

Let go of the NUT!!

Thanks for volunteering, we'll do it next weekend at Perris.

If you are going to pie me, please use a chocolate mousse pie. None of those "nasty crap in a pie tin" pies, please.

Cool, we're also the only team with a team number over 14000 in the top 100. We really came on strong.

i guess we can all pick our battles, but there is an AIDS program out there to run too:

http://www.fightaidsathome.org/index.asp

keep in mind that the client programs can all pun simultaniously on some machines, i.e. i have the SETI software running (it does not have to be your screen saver to process info) and this at the same time, in the background, running in my taskbar.

if you have 50 MB of ram laying around, you might be able to run at least 2 of these programs.

[Cajones 0]

When you run more than one DC (distributed computing) programs, they run half-as-fast, or slower. Usually slower. I am running 4 processors on the Genome units, and 2 processors still running SETI. I wouldn't mix them on the same processor, as this would severely cut into efficiency.

As far as pies... I'll take banana cream (with the Nila Wafer crust), and chocolate cream (with the graham cracker crust), if I can choose. I haven't had a pieable event in a few years, but this one is worthy of celebration. Skydivers coming together under a good cause. It's not money in the hands of science (like the excellent work of Jump For The Cause), but we can let them borrow our tools when we're not using them (our computers) - and that's worth a lot.

I think Rantoul would be ideal. Just please don't do it right before I have to do initiations.

I definitely agree with Cajones. One distributed computing program per machine. Or per CPU for those of us with multi-CPU loveliness.

You can split your work between different projects you consider worthy that way. Running multiple distributed computing programs on one processor end up with sub-par performance on all of them, from what I've seen.

THAT'S why its taking so long!!

It is hard to tell. There are lots of factors that go into how fast your machine will chug through a work unit:

Processor speed
Type of processor (celeron, Pentium, Zeon, etc.)
RAM
Operating system
General non-DC utilization
Task-switching overhead
Size of work unit
etc.

Some distributed computing projects actually use enough disk space that hard drive speed and bus bandwidth also matter. Well, unless you have enough RAM to stuff the whole thing in RAM, that is. It gets to be a complicated issue.

And how many work units have you crunched, wussy-boy?

[Cajones 0]

Let's not start comparing units on here, boys.

Besides... What's wrong with being a geek?

Actually I've come to prefer "Nerd," thank you.

Duh! Of course they would. Everybody knows that.
