Tanpaku Milestones

[gatekeeper53]

Congrats to Blackheath and Nflight on the 75,000 and also to AMDave and Plonk420 on the 10,000 milestones!!!!! Great going teamates!:hat1: :hat1: :hat1:

[Beerknurd]

Congrats peoples!!!!!

[Nflight]

Thanks for the compliments, I almost didn't notice this link. I am trying for 100,000 for the month of september. I may make it if I don't push my systems any harder. Last night I pushed to hard and the good old BSOD showed up! Oops ok back up, start over, move over, here we go, I am back and I am gonna quit tinkering on the speed dial!

[gamer007]

Just 2000 more creds till 10k for me. :P

Congrats guys.

[gatekeeper53]

Gamer congrats on the 7,500 :eusa_clap: , and Mitchell a big high 5 on the 100,000:icon_salut:

[Nflight]

This month truely is exciting to see our team come together and fight for First prize. At the end of this months tally, 3 more people will attain the level of 100,000 points and above, including myself (if nothing breaks).
We currently have 9 in the top 100, with Lagu working on that level faster then a speeding bullet.
There are 29 out of 46 active crunchers in our team effort. W O W !

[Evil-Dragon]

I find it hard these days to hit even 10,000 points, let alone 100,000. The most credit i have for one project is BBC CCE and at most i think i will only get 50,000 points once i end this model.

I need more machines, i just don't have enough space :icon_cry:

[gatekeeper53]

Congratulations to Blackheath for the 100,000 adn to Zep for passing 75,000!!!!! Great crunching Guys!!

[Strongbow]

Woo Hoo, thanks Terry!

Now that I'm in the 100,000 club where's the...

[gatekeeper53]

Not sure I'm still looking for mine I think Beer was supposed to bring it.

[AMDave]

@ evil_dragon

You and me both.
But it's not more machines we need - it is new machines.
Time to think about trading out the old for new.

[Evil-Dragon]

Can't do that right now, no job at the moment so money is tight. I'm still going to hang fire for a machine upgrade till the quad core amd's come into play and then i will upgrade my main machine. Of course then my dual core will replace my amd 64 3200+. Double the number of cores :D

[Strongbow]

Nflight you'd better wave at Zeppelin whilst you can still see him as he's just overtaken you and now has me in his crosshairs!

Impressive performance Zep' :icon_salut:

[gatekeeper53]

Geezzzz over 9 grand for the third straight day. Great going Zep!!! Hope I can get some of this stuff assembled before I get to see the dust storm lol

[Beerknurd]

I'm scared... I'm real scared... Yalls output is crazy!!!! The Japan team ramped up the efforts a bit... We are still more than doubling thier output. We have still yet to break the 40,000 points in a day barrier... Maybe we can do it today. We are soooooo close to doing it. So if anybody has an extra machine, PLEASE run Tanpaku for just a few days until we pass Japan. Every little bit counts!!!!!

[gatekeeper53]

I get delivery on a dual AMD laptop today don't worry. I'm following it on UPS tracking.

[Beerknurd]

Is it an X2 laptop, or a dual Turion?

[Strongbow]

Is it an X2 laptop, or a dual Turion?

Either way I'm jealous!

[Beerknurd]

Me too.......

[gatekeeper53]

It's just a cheapie for the wife to take notes on at school. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834115254
It's all she needs and if it lasts till graduation I'll be happy. She only has a few more classes.

[Nflight]

Nflight you'd better wave at Zeppelin whilst you can still see him as he's just overtaken you and now has me in his crosshairs!

Impressive performance Zep' :icon_salut:

Overnight both Lunarcom and Zeppelin passed me, oh HI WAVE FIVE there Zeppelin, Keep up the good work, don't mind me. More tread marks on my forehead, and with lunarcom I have treadmarks across my back and I now can't see or find my toes!

On another thought I would like to congratulate the Team Effort, it is just amazing to see two days of consistent 39,000 points of output with a jump of some 25,000 points on the Japanese team each day. We are so close to being able to achieve our goal by the end of this month. An Acheivement we can all be proud of, has anyone been looking at the other forums out there? Has anyone noticed we are being talked about by the other Teams! Like on the WOW scale of a Team to be reckoned with, a Team to be impressed with, A Team that works together! Thank You everyone! :blob3:

[Nflight]

At this writing, there are 4 Team Members right in a row with RAC. They are in 5th Place Gatekeeper53/Terry, 6th Place BlackHeath, 7th Place Zeppelin, and 8th Place Beerknurd.

I am bringing up the rear with 15th place, Mitchell is in 17th Place and Maybach is in 34th with Lagu in 39th place. That is a total of 8 Team members in the top 40 places. Impressive...:3dblob4:

[Hermann]

Within the next hour the Team is going to break the 1.000.000 !!!

:wav:

[gamer007]

At last, I've reached my 10k credit milestone!

And we've also broken 1,000,000! Nice work team!
:wav:

[gatekeeper53]

Congrats Gamer good job!!

[Nflight]

At last, I've reached my 10k credit milestone!

And we've also broken 1,000,000! Nice work team!
:wav:

Way to go Gamer007 ! ! ! Hi Five ! !

[Strongbow]

Well done Gamer ...but watch out for LeBo as he is storming along and is coming up fast behind you! :icon_pale:

[Beerknurd]

Looks like Zeppelin stopped crunching... :sad2:

[Nflight]

We are down to less then 75,000 points to passing the Japanese Team! :blob3:

[Nflight]

19 hours later we are now down to 55,000 points difference we may make our goal if no one leaves us till we accomplish this goal by October 31st. Go Team Go :blob3:

[Strongbow]

Crack open another bottle of bubbly as Nflight has just exceeded 100k in Tanpaku.

Well done matey! :icon_salut::icon_salut::icon_salut:

[gatekeeper53]

:shocked: All right Nflight!!!!! Way to go! :wav:

[vaughan]

Nice crunching Nflight :icon_salut:

[Nflight]

Thank You everyone, I am going to break the Predictor amount and we as a Team Effort are going to whoop the Japanese team in supposedly 1.77 days.
We are less then 40,000 points away now! Compared to 335,000 when I jumped in to the project that is alot of assertion that our Team has shown, I am very proud to be part this friendship we all have here on AMDusers. Thank You Again.
Whoopie for me, Hooray for the Team Effort!:blob3:

[Beerknurd]

Even when we pass them, we are going to have to keep up this pace for a while longer. We can't just pass them and quit.

[Nflight]

That's exactly right there Beer, Overall last nights scores hurt us, you in particluar lost 600 points, Mitchell lost close to 1,500, and a few others lost plenty to make a huge dent in our super scoring of the past couple weeks. We are now down to just about 28,000 points each day, this compared to our glorious 36,000 for several days has put a lapse in our abilities to overcome the Japanese team as quickly as possible.

Please everyone working on the Tanpaku project don't leave us yet, we have to pass the Team and then maintain it. This to prove we are worthy! Keep pushing along everyone!

Take a look at this: I think we have Moderna hooked, especially with these numbers!
http://stats.free-dc.org/new/userstats.php?proj=tan&name=4200
His numbers rise in one day is impressive! Go Moderna Go ! ! !

[Strongbow]

Gatekeeper53 is about to storm past 200k!!!

NOW THAT'S IMPRESSIVE!!!
:wav:

WELL DONE TERRY!
:icon_salut::hat43::icon_salut:

[gatekeeper53]

Thank You Andy. I have had to shut machines down on and off all day, It was either that or turn on the air conditioning. If I turn on the air at this time of year I think the neighbors might have me locked up. lol Resetting everything to stock speed just wasn't good eneugh, my 4800+ stayed at 65C most of the night so I took it down to 2.65GHz and it just came down to 64C. Now it's down to 2.4 and the side off the case. lol it's at 61 but it's happy at 61.

[gamer007]

I'm gonna resume on this. Was working on NanoHive since I was losing ranks.

[AMDave]

Congrats on the 100k Nflight

[Lagu]

Congrats and way to go Nflight:blob3:

[Nflight]

Congrats on the 100k Nflight Thanks Dave, And Lagu

Welcome back to the projct there Gamer007, we sure can use your help getting past our milestone by November1st.

Terry I noticed you mentioned removing the case cover to cool the computer even further. Did you know the case actually helps the system cool better by keeping the covers on. The particular arrangement of the holes throughout the case allow for air to flow adequately through the case to cool the system. With out the case cover on the air flow is stagnated and refuses to go down because air is not flowing over the sensititve areas to make the cpu cooler. If your going to over clock it is best to leave the case closed, elevate the case above the carpet on the floor and in an area where there is circulation capable. This does not mean that you need to be where air flows past it constantly but where it is not hidden and reduced to breathing its own air over and over. (Ok I said it the CPU needs to breath, fresh air of some kind is best, remember moisture holds heat better then dry air) Watch your humidty and keep it near or below 55% at all times. Cleaning of the dust that builds up from the excessive processing power is also critical, amazing that in one week the amount of static clinge that draws in the dust is just another 2 or 3 degrees of heat build up.

I am going to stop my rant here; comments - questions!

[Beerknurd]

Yea, congrats Nflight. I thought this was my first 100k+ project. I then discovered that I have 102,000 in Predictor...

[gatekeeper53]

Opps did forget to mention the 18 inch fan I have blowing on it with the case open?

[Beerknurd]

Once it gets colder, I am tempted to hook all this crap up in the garage... Then there won't be a heat problem!!!

[Nflight]

Beer I noticed you have not pursued the switch to all one CPID yet?

I wanted to mention I had made a goal of myself to reach 5,000th place out of all Boinc Crunchers. Well that happened 2 days ago and with my huge numbers from Tanpaku I have already dipped near 4,880 and still dropping.

Oh yea since some of you have no clue how many people are out there crunching the nunbers of today are staggering. I am 4,884 out of 836,112 users, of course our leader is Chris Cicide as he approaches with 394th place.
http://www.boincsynergy.com/stats/boinc-individual.php?cpid=48126fafdad610d440b887a0d96825 e7

[gatekeeper53]

My stuff should be fine in this room after tomorrow. The weather just had to have one last bit of heat to it. After tomorrow all I should have to do is open the window from time to time.

[Nflight]

Congratulations Terry on the 200,000 Mark in Tanpaku, Your the first of our team to reach such great heights! But your definietly not the last!

[mitchellds]

interesting note:

471 E@home users are putting out 22,983.12 Wu's a day,

50 T@home users are putting out 27,020.95 Wu's a day.

wow

[gatekeeper53]

Thanks Nflight. I'm sure your right.

[gatekeeper53]

I found my heating problem from yesterday. The problem is that I'm an idiot lol. I had my 4800+ running at around 2.8 and it got warm so I turned it down, the problems were comming from the extra voltage that I DIDN'T turn down. I turned down the DIMM voltage but not the vcore. All better now.

[gatekeeper53]

:wav:Congrats Moderna on passing 5,000!!!!! Great Job!!!:wav:

[moderna]

Thank you, thank you, I would like to thank my agent UB Famous, my third grade teacher.....

and the AMDTeam for the performance boost. :glasses3:

Congrats to AMD-USR_JL and ahab3333 on passing the 7,500 mark!!!

[moderna]

Gatekeeper, how are you cooling the 3500+. I am learning to overclock and am running at about 110% (2.42) with a temp of 49 C with the supplied heatsink. I want to beat some more milestones! I see that I have contributed a whopping .00003% to BOINC and want to get that to .00004% at least. :laughing11:

4054 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
13184 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

is what I am showing at the moment.

[gatekeeper53]

I just used the stock heatsink that came with my 4800+. It's the size of a '53 Buick and has heatpipe tech.

[gatekeeper53]

Congrats to Lebo on passing 10,000, B Johansson on 7,500, and Patrick Lane on 5,000!!! Great work!!

[Nflight]

Nice Job Terry, I suppose the only thing left is to take over the number 1 spot sometime in the next few months?

Oh Nice overclocking on that 4800+, nice drystone!

Moderna; I have some suggestions on how to make your machines work really well why don't you pm me! And I will respond with some good advice.

[gatekeeper53]

I was thinking about that Nflight. I think I'll run most of the machines over and help Vaughn after we have a good pad in the score.

[Nflight]

Gatekeeper53, I am thinking about leaving the systems the way they are for now as I am really busy with my new project which just went live online about 40 minutes ago. So any IT work is pretty much behind me as I focus on this huge endeavor.. http://www.lverp.org take a look and tell me what you think. I am the soul technology Investigator for this. This while I participate heavily on the forums here at the AMDusers site.
I am asking if any one finds grammatical errors please pm me asap! the veiwing public is about 100,000 in the local area that this project effects. But I am looking to market the idea to the rest of the USA, effectively right now!
Best veiwed in IE not firefox.

[Lagu]

What is it I read? Should we as soon as possible move our computers to another project and be a mayfly in the history of Tanpaku? Remember Neogens word: As soon as we are nr one all other will put us from the throne without mercy.

If we as is the leader no longer run Tanpaku other members do the same.
Say I´m wrong or have misunderstand the whole.

[gatekeeper53]

No Mayfly but with about a 200,000 point lead we can have plenty of time to move back should someone take a run at us. I plan on leaveing a few systems here. It's just that with that kind of lead I want to help out our other teamates to advance their projects. And to be honest without buying a compiler and doing an update of the optimized client just for Tanpaku, I'm down to just tweaking my machines to run faster and I can do that on any project. If we drop below 100,000 lead we can always just ramp up our efforts again, that should give us 4 or 5 days at a time minimum to run other projects.

[Nflight]

Lagu I am not leaving, you miss read my post. I am staying and not changin probably till I have time on my hands. I am staying till I have at least 200,000 points in tanpaku.

[Steve Lux]

Hoping that the topic golems don't step too hard on me:

Nflight, I don't know about "top dollar" for the energy generated.

My understanding is that private/small electrical generators are only paid what it costs the large generators/distributors to actually generate the electricity. So, it it costs them .03/kWh to generate their electricity, that is all they will pay you. You don't get the amount that .08/kWh they sell the electricity for. Also there are a lot of start-up costs they don't tell you about. In some areas approval can take years.

All that said; one of the best things you have going for you is the "renewable" aspect of your energy generation. "Renerable energy" - of which biomass is listed as, is usually worth more due to the "green" credits which can be sold at a premium.

Your article doesn't state the capacity of the project, but 20 Megawats is the magical number when it comes to regulatory expectations. Larger generating facilities can be rather expensive to get approval for and to bring online.

If the generating facility is less than 20 MW there are new rules that came into effect on 26 August 2006. For more info:

Thank you gatekeeper and Nflight! I got worry for while but now I am composure. Is that right word??:)

[gatekeeper53]

:wav:Congradulations Lagu on passing 25,000:3dblob2: and :3dblob2:AMD-USR_JL on passing 10,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Crunching!!:wav:

[Lagu]

Thanks. I vasn´t avare this. I noticed 26,000 but not more.:)

[Nflight]

Lagu I estimate you will be in the top 100 of the project with in 4 days if you keep plugging along at the speed your at, Great job so far! :blob3:

[Lagu]

Nflight!

I don´t think it will be so easy. They as is in front of me has more computers:)

[Nflight]

Seems Rocketship Computer ID #8636 has gone haywire with the fan in the power supply as the bearings are whirrying and not silent. Part is on order will swap fan/pwr supply on Monday morning.

Currently machine is still running, but the whirrying is getting louder and longer! I will return full strength. I promise! :eusa_pray:

[NeoGen]

You like to live life on the edge Nflight! :icon_smile:

I would have turned off the machine right away. Just the thought that something might overheat and possibly burn and bring who knows what more damage... brrr...

I hate to hear that, but love to hear that... :lol:.... Time to gain some ground back in Tanpaku... Or perhaps uFluids.... :lol:

[Nflight]

I hate to hear that, but love to hear that... :lol:.... Time to gain some ground back in Tanpaku... Or perhaps uFluids.... :lol:

I am behind you in Tanpaku, and ahead of you in ufluids. You can't have both you know! Someday when I get the funding for my project I will have a farm so large I will over run Lunarcom with ease. But even so I will still be on the Amdusers Team, and chasing my friends as they pass me and stir up the angst over just when they should make there move. I got my eyes on you buster :icon_eek:!

[Beerknurd]

:lol: I'm just letting you keep 1st in uFluids warm for me....

[gatekeeper53]

uFluids Hummmmmm.......

[Beerknurd]

No sir!!!!!!! :lol: Stay away!!!!

[gatekeeper53]

LOL No problem I like it here. I got an old 2200+ running tonight. I love this KVM switch. I played a trick on my son last evening. I called him in here and told him I had discovered a new trick. I told him I found a way to run my computer without electricity. I had the 3700 up on my screen and reached over and shut down my 4800 (the only one ever hooked up to my main monitor) The look on his face was priceless. Once I explained the KVM his response to my wife was "Dad gets all the cool toys" lol

[Evil-Dragon]

Back on track, we've got our first 100,000 pad. Only another 100,000 points left to go and then onward to Reisel Sieve!

[Nflight]

Nice going Maybach! Wav for Maybach! :wav:

[Beerknurd]

Terry, what KVM are you using???

This is the one I got... It's kind of old school, but it works...

It was a cold night last night so yesterday I decided to push my little 6300 to 2.4Ghz - it lasted for a few hours and crashed late in the evening when I was asleep! - time to get rid of the stock cooler I reckon!

[Nflight]

That'll teach ya won't it!

Don't play with Foreign Car parts!

[Murray]

Just wondering...instead of KVM switches/hubs why don't you guys use remote desktop in XP?

[gatekeeper53]

I run 4 systems off of one keyboard,mouse and monitor the KVM switch just makes things easy. I plan to add more and still have 4 openings in my kvm.

[Strongbow]

Cheers Terry.

I've hit the magic 200k now so am looking for another project to crunch on. Any suggestions?:dontknow:

[Murray]

Oh ok...I just network all my PCs via wired LAN and then use remote desktop...looked at buying a KVM but I only really use one PC to work on the rest are crunchers...so it would be a waste for me:dontknow:

[gatekeeper53]

Not sure Andy I can't find anywhere I like as well as here. Found some I didn't like. I'm just not much on Math projects, nothing at all wrong with them just not my cup of tea. Oh and Murray all of mine are networked it's just that these 4 all all mine. The rest are at slightly different locations about the house. I have 4 on my desktop and room don't permit me 4 mice,monitors, or keyboards.

[Nflight]

Cheers Terry.

I've hit the magic 200k now so am looking for another project to crunch on. Any suggestions?:dontknow:

We need a boost in two projects, I am hoping to find time after I too hit 200,000 to jump into Leiden Classical and or ufluids, each one is seeing less then any other project in WU's. The numbers are down seriously on Leiden Classical to an average of less then 100 per day. This is reducing our foot hold on DC-Vault, ufluids is also dragging our DC-Vault number in to the drink,
I understand that I may lose my first place position with the team in ufuids, but it is the Team that benefits. Send in the posse to improve our stats; The AMDUSers Posse!:2gunsfiring_v1:

I recon we should draw up a plan for our management of all BOINC projects...obviously people can cruch for whatever project they want, but it would be nice if there was a core group of AMD members who boosted projects, captured number 1 spots etc...

I'm all for that:icon_cool:

[gatekeeper53]

I moved some of my systems to Leiden Classical. I'll try it out and if it is a steady source of work I'll move the rest over for a bit.

[Nflight]

That didn't last did it? Now where are you crunching, back at Tanpaku?

[gatekeeper53]

Home sweet home!!

[Evil-Dragon]

I'm on Malaria Control at the moment now trying to get us back up to 5th place and also work towards 10,000 points.

[Strongbow]

I'm pretty much everywhere trying to get my CPID back into shape by crunching a bit on all my projects! :icon_redface:

[gamer007]

That's what I had to do. I decided to attach to the projects I'm interested in with BAM! and stay that way. I only choose which projects I want work from. :) In this case, staying w/ TANPAKU while letting Chess960@Home have some work.

[Nflight]

BY December 1st even without Beerknurd crunching we should be darn close to the 2,000,000 mark. That comes down to the fact we are doing 1,000,000 a month on this project now. Thats a lot of horsepower.
If we could only get the power house boys to divide up there horses to other proejcts we could take over the world if we try hard enough! Just a thought.

One project a month and a number one spot #1 to boot ! :blob3:

[Beerknurd]

I may not be crunching now, but i'm with you guys in spirit!!!

Gatekeeper53 just passed the 300,000 point mark! Way to go ! ! :blob3:

[Strongbow]

That was a bit quick!!! :shocked:

Well done Terry! The only way I can keep up with you is to have to revert to candle light and tell my kids to wear their coats at all times just so I can get a few more watts into my systems! ...and as for my Wife, well she will have to go the neighbours to use their hair dryer! :icon_biggrin::icon_wink:

[vaughan]

Congrats on reaching the 300,000 club Terry. Good effort :icon_biggrin:

[gatekeeper53]

Thanks all. Well Andy you'll have to make sure they have good coats and I think they sell battery powered hairdryers lol. There is talk of this area's electric bills going up by 40% average. If that happens I doubt I'll be running all these systems anymore. It's in the state senate right now as they're in session. If it weren't for this school district being so good I'd move. But, last year the High School had a better than 90% rate of students that went on to college, and over 70% of those got some sort of scholarship.

[Nflight]

Education is a very important thing, having the declaration in print that you have successfully achieved a schools academic criteria gives you clout. Without it your trying your damndest and getting no where fast. A School district with a success like your stating is hard to find, most days the children are shuffled out the door of the parents so the parents get to play for themselves. It is awesome that I Hear of such thought to the future of our children. I commend you Terry and I hope your children understand their father is doing the best for them when they get older to understand.

In order to lower my Electric Bill I have decided to invest in Servers only, no need for a box with all the gadgets if I am only going to use the CPU's and PCI-X slots! I personally would not mind a Cray but that is out of my league!

[Beerknurd]

Oh how I wish the electricity fairy would come and lower my bill... It is killing me sitting at 198,000 points...

Great Job on the 300,000 Terry!!!!

[gatekeeper53]

Congrats to Lebo who passed 75,000!!!! Great Work!!

Terry could you pull your computer ID # 6739 to the side so I may pass you on the way to the top? I sure wouldn't want to kick dust up on my way past you, it may just sting a bit. Hold on to something tight gripped, I kick up a whirlwind when I travel.:5eek:

[gatekeeper53]

lol ok I'll roll up the windows and turn off the air so it don't suck in to much dust.I might have to start running Tanpaku on this one more than 16 hours a day.

[Nflight]

Hearty Har Har! 16 hours a day ! Very Funny. :rofl:

You know I am just joking there, it is nice to have some one to challenge up here at the top ! Thanks for keeping the Team where we are, we could not have done it without you!

[gatekeeper53]

LOL I do run some things on it 3 or 4 days a week where I have to take it offline. I lose very little from it. I have some old contracts that I maintain from my days with McDonnell-Douglas. I'll keep tweaking them till they stop sending me the checks. It was nice getting into puters before anyone thought to have each employee sign away their rights to everything they wrote. I still have a few programs that fly on the F-15 and they still send me checks. I not in any hurry to see the F-22 take over.

[gatekeeper53]

As for Tanpaku and my contribution I would run this project for no points in a second. I think that Protein folding is the most important work being done today. I have a high reguard for the U of Tokyo and their people. I talked to Dr. Ando on the phone and am impressed with the way they are going at this and believe that they are the best bet on cures for many defects and sicknesses. If it weren't for this project I would be running Folding@home. Oh and wait till that cooler gets here and I can run this puppy above 2.51. I have seen others that can hit 3.0 and 3.1, I'm all set except the temp skyrockets at 2.6. The way it is it hovers at 60C at 2.51.

[mitchellds]

Today was Christmas early at my work. We're getting these delivered tomorrow. Check out this list of horsepower !!

6 Sun 5500's (14 cpu's each)
4 Sun v890 (8 cpu each)
4 Sun v880's (8 cpu each)
4 sun 450's (4cpu each)

That 164 cpu's of SUN SPARC POWER

4 tbs of raid for storage & 1 Sun Tape cylo

Best of all, it was completely free. yep, thats right. Another government organization was closing their project, and I was at the right place and right time, so they just signed them over to my group.

Boy I wish I could run some DC on these puppies for break in.
Man these will heat up our computer room.

[gatekeeper53]

Dave,

Ever see that commerical "Nothing beats a Trane" from the furnace manufacture? Well I think you found something that beats one. I wonder how many BTU"s that setup will put out. If you start having problems I have a place that one of those 5500's would fit real well.

That's my little Intel at #3 and climbing! :icon_razz:


I kinda thought it was.

[Nflight]

Any possibility at letting Beerknurd get some recognition as he just passed the 200,000 mark even if he shouldn't have been. I can't type I just drank 11 pints, oh my goid I am drunk. Way to go Beerknurd ! :blob3:

[Beerknurd]

I made a deal with the wife. I had to give up some other things in order to crunch...


But YAY!!! 200,000!!!!!

[vaughan]

Woot!

Well done Beerknurd.

Glad things are getting sorted out and congrats on the 200k achievement.

[gatekeeper53]

:wav: 200,000 Congrats Beer!!!!:wav:

[Strongbow]

Phew!!!

Well done matey!!! :blob3:

[Lagu]

Well done Beerknurd and glad you have sort it out for this time.:icon_thumright:

[Beerknurd]

We are now 400,000 ahead of Japan!!!!!! Way to go team!!!!!

[gatekeeper53]

:wav: Congrats Andy on 250,000:wav:

[Nflight]

Take a Bow there Blackheath, your on almost the Top at 250,000 in this project. :hello:

[mitchellds]

Congrats Beerknurd on the 200k! I'll be there with ya shortly.

[gatekeeper53]

:wav: Congrats Dave on 200,000 !!! :wav:

[vaughan]

Great effort you guys. :blob3::blob3::blob3:

[Nflight]

I will join all of you at 200,000 points but then I am going to diversify my projects and help out on other peoples focused projects as they have helped out on this project. Sometime around the 1st of December I should hit the magic number, unless some nice person would allow me to borrow some of there PC's to reach the limit faster? :blob3:

[Beerknurd]

Congrats Dave on your 200k milestone!!!

[mitchellds]

Thanks Beerknurd !

[vaughan]

Nice going Dave as you chalk up another 200k membership. :icon_thumright:

[Beerknurd]

Dave, you are getting a little close to me.... I am going to need you to back off a bit... Why don't you help Vaughan in Riesel Sieve for a while... :lol:

[gatekeeper53]

LOL still trying that? Didn't work with me till now. You gained on me today.

[Beerknurd]

I would say that you have a pretty decent sized cushion Terry... :lol:

[mitchellds]

Thanks Vaughn!

Dont worry Beerknurd, your safe, I'm off to einstein for a bit, as Gerald Peters is creeping up on me also over there.

[vaughan]

Oh Einstein ... I remember that project. Wasn't it one of the projects in the Spring Championship? :lol:

[mitchellds]

why yes it was

[gatekeeper53]

Nice work in Tanpaku Andy your keeping us afloat. I see you still managed to beat the #2 team.

[Strongbow]

I've just come back from a few days holiday! Good to see my little systems crunching away with no mishaps! ...but where have you gone Terry?

[gatekeeper53]

I went and played in ABC for a short time. I'll be back tomorrow.

[gatekeeper53]

:wav: Congrats
Moderna on 25,000!!! :wav:

[moderna]

Thank you for noticing! :blob3:

I am going to stick with this project for awhile and tweek the machine as I go along.

Thanks for the tips. See you at the next milestone if not sooner.

[Beerknurd]

This team is putting up our old numbers... 30,000+ points a day. And it's only 2 people... We need to keep an eye on this...

http://stats.free-dc.org/new/teamstats.php?proj=tan&team=Team-SciFi

[Nflight]

In my calculations in 120 days they will be a threat to our team if they last that long!:5eek:

[gatekeeper53]

Unless the guy changes his XML file even more than he has already. Look at ID #'s 1381, 11857, 11096, 12093, and see what they are doing. 103,313 points with only 663 valid wu's that's 156 points per wu. Many of those were run with a valid client on one of the computers.

[Nflight]

IN the News Section:

November 30, 2006
The way to determine an amount of claimed credit has been changed, where the credit is calculated based on CPU time alone. The CPU benchmarks measured by the BOINC software is not used for the calculation. The purpose of the change is to relax high benchmark numbers only of specific processors.

I left out the Japanese characters as I am not sure if anyone can read them?

I am so glad we kept at it till now! :5eek:

[NeoGen]

I just hope that faking the cpu time of a workunit is not easy! I know it's not impossible, nothing is impossible when it comes to cheating, but I do hope it's really difficult so that people stay away from it.

[Nflight]

News December 6, 2006
Now, the original method proposed by BOINC is used for calculation of an amount of claimed credit. We would like to apologize for the mix-up. We plan to use our application specific benchmark.

現在、クレジットの計算方法をBOINCで提案されたオリジナルのものに戻しております。混乱を引き起こし 、ご迷惑をお掛けしました事をお詫び申し上げます。現在、TANPAKU専用のベンチマークを 考案中です。

This time I left the japanese at the bottom for all those who can read it!

Doesn't seem to have slowed Yamashin down too much: http://issofty17.is.noda.tus.ac.jp/results.php?hostid=8486 To his credit he is running that machine at beyond light speed.

[Nflight]

You and I both know it takes time for the actual new Work Units designated by the new system to take effect. Suddenly looking at the stats right at this moment will show little or no change. Wait till friday and look again, if nothing has changed much then you know we can still go back if we need to. This is to defend our Glorious #1 place. :dontknow:

[gatekeeper53]

Those wu's he's running at 800 and 1300 or 1400 sec are ones that even with my 4800+ OC'd to 3.0 I can only get down to 1100 and 1900. That' s Speed!

[Nflight]

Moderna has eclipsed 30,000 points!

Plonk420 has eclipsed 40,000 points!

Maybach is fast approaching the 100,000 point crest!

Way to go TeamMates! :wav:

[moderna]

Thanks!

I am impressed with how fast Anzi caught and passed. There also seems to be some other teams like sci-fi and 2ch joining the frey. I can't do much against 19k a day.


Of course, 2 Million is pretty great for the team!!!! :3dblob3:

[gatekeeper53]

We're still up 500,000 but I'll be back before 300,000 and I'm sure others will toss into the effort to keep us #1. Thanks for your efforts, this is the first time that I have really had a chance to run anything else. And congrats on the 2 mil!!!!

[Nflight]

According to Boinc synergy's web site stats it will take; three thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine days for 2ch to pass AMD users. That is 3,899.9 days to be number #1.
http://www.boincsynergy.com/stats/overtake.php?project=tanp&team=54

I too will return when our #1 spot is threatened. :blob3:

[moderna]

I was just running down the list of high daily numbers and I noticed Free DC has CH2 at 77 days and Sci-Fi at 62 but Sci-Fi has dropped from the 20K they were doing. Just looking. The numbers are interesting as is the ability of a few users to bring on some significant power in a short period of time. Of course, so can we.
