We've lost 1st place

[mitchellds]

We just got passed by Protein structural analysis room Japan


:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(

[Evil-Dragon]

Don't panic, we'll get it back!

I guess we can't always be at number 1 on every project we do but we sure try bloody hard to get them every once in a while!

[gatekeeper53]

Not to worry Beer, Me and Strongbow passed them before and blew their doors of on the way by. We'll get it back.

[Beerknurd]

We will definitely get it back... :icon_twisted:

[NeoGen]

Just let the Pi Segment rush calm down a bit... :)

[Lagu]

Yes, I will try help out if I can when PI have calmed down. I have 2 cores to put in if needed.:icon_wink:

That wasn't Beer that was Dave Mitchell... Someone needs glasses :icon_wink:

[Beerknurd]

I thought he was including me with Strongbow and himself... Maybe not...

[gatekeeper53]

When we were running it in Oct it was Me, Andy, and Jason. Dave was there he was kinda moseting along and the three of us were flat out for a couple of months lol

Unable to connect to Tanpaku today. :(

[Evil-Dragon]

It's down for me also:
The following error was encountered:

Unable to determine IP address from host name for issofty17.is.noda.tus.ac.jp

[Brucifer]

I tried to put a couple systems on it last night and couldn't get any dns resolution either. just dead as a rock.

edit: well I just tried putting a system on it just now, and it hooked right up. So naturally, it's a linux box, so we will see how the points thing goes for it. :)

[Brucifer]

Well it looks like they have changed the scoring sytem, then did the change to the change... and then the change to the change of the change. Anyway, so does anyone have any idea of where they are at now with their scoring system??? Basically like is it worth running on linux now or are we back to the same lop sided thing with the boinc internal benchmark based stuff.

[Beerknurd]

Back in the saddle again. It's been a while since I have run Boinc gentlemen, but Tanpaku is where my heart is. All systems are go!!!

[gatekeeper53]

Bruce,
I think your going to like it. it looks like they just cut the scored in half for Windoze. You should be very competitive or even ahead.

[Brucifer]

As of USA PST 11:05am 3-31-07 we are 35,662.14 points behind the #1 team.

The day before yesterday they crunched 10,629, AMD crunched 3,551.
Yesterday they crunched 9,323, AMD crunched 1,860.

So the gap widened 14,541 in just a couple days. We are going to have to get 10,000 avg per day just to stay even before we can gain on them and get the #1 position back.

[gatekeeper53]

Due to change in a hurry! And #1 is also subject to change. lol

[Bender10]

I just put minimum 16 Ghz on Tanpaku. Do we need more?

[gatekeeper53]

It'll just make up the ground faster they are producing 9,000 a day and I'm new to this scoreing system. It changed since I was here last. So, I have no idea what I will proiduce. And it will be fun to run over the 2 BBP members up ahead lol

[leavitron]

And it will be fun to run over the 2 BBP members up ahead lol
That's Team Fried Tofu I believe. It is still an Ars team, though. :icon_razz:

[gatekeeper53]

Cool if they like being "fried" we want to do everything humanly possible to help them on toward bliss.

[Nflight]

I put one system on here so I may reach 200,000 points will probably switch over the other system tomorrow I wanted to finish up a work unit or two in Grid.org before I move full blast on Tanpaku.

I am going to see if we can get hourly updates on Free-DC Stats since I know the boss now ! This would make the competition pretty easy to spot over the course of a day and stats are a keen way to see just how much more power we need to catch and pass those ahead of us. Unless you prefer I don't pursue this idea? :sad5:

[gatekeeper53]

Strange my connection flys through.

[Bender10]

I remember to points being different here, but this is weird. I'll have a better idea how this is going when I check my RAC tommorow.

[Nflight]

Seems Tanpaku Project leaders only update there xml files once a day so the Free DC stats updating each hour won't work without some cooperation from the Men and women in charge. Anybody have direct contact with the project leaders care to make this suggestion. If you get them to add hourly updates then the Free DC Stats will automatically pick up the change!

Now all we need is someone to make contact so this may happen....? :sad5:

[gatekeeper53]

I know. I got spoiled with the hourly update! I wanna know NOW! lol I think he cut the points in half from what they used to be. I was looking over some of my past logs and it's just about 1/2. But then I have more power by more than twice so I'll be happy. My best day in Tanpaku was 19,000. Most days I ran around 12,500 so I'll be happy with 10,000 a day once I get these other 3 machines working. (the 2 RMA boards and my laptop back from the shop)

[gatekeeper53]

I'll e-mail Ando. I think it'll depend on his server and how much power he has left.

Hi,

Long time since I last sent you an e-mail. I am back running in Tanpaku. I have brought some friends with me as our team was pushed out of first place. I think I can get a significant amount of computing power to focus on your project if I can get you to update the xml files for the stats more often. The Free DC server will automaticaly pick up on any increase. We were just involved in a race with another team in the Pi Segment project and I would like to stir something up like that here, I'm afraid that we all got spoiled in the the Pi Segment project which updates the xml files hourly and it just made for a great deal of competition. To give you an idea of the type of power I'm talking about on that project each wu"s is the same and runs for about 30 minutes on an AMD 4800+, each wu = 1 point. Between the two teams we were generating something like 20,000 wu's every 24 hours, or 10,000 hours of CPU time everyday. I'm fairly certain that if I can get you to increase the frequency ot the stats updates that I can get a race started on your project.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to your reply,

Terry Bond

[Bender10]

Good Morning Terry,
Glad to hear you have the new parts in.

Something (anything) other than a daily update would be great. I thought my sig was broke when it's did not show updates for this.

I did a little math (then took 2 asprin) and my RAC should be up to 3000 by friday (if the rate of gain is linear).

[Bender10]

It looks like there is no RAC decay here, makes it hard to see who's playing.

[gatekeeper53]

It decays very slowly till they run a wu then the bottom drops out. To see who's playiing this might help but it's a day behind:

[Bender10]

Geez, I have a lot of ground to make up...

[Beerknurd]

EEEK!!! 1,575 in one day... They had to have changed something in the scoring... Me no likey such small numbers... :(

[mitchellds]

yep, its pretty lousy return points now. I see that team Sci-Fi in not far away either, and they putting put a fail avg. credit daily.

Daily 11,695.15
Total 2,097,073.23

[Bender10]

Team Sci-Fi is rolling on pretty good. Let's see what it looks like at the end of the week...
