Tanpaku

[Bender10]

The past couple of months have been a busy time for us. We have defended our position in Cosmo, and helped out MilkyWay, ABC, Malaria, D2OL... the list goes on. And I know to accomplish this, many people have taken time away from their other projects...That's Teamwork, Thanks.

For the past couple of months, there has been an effort focused on taking 2nd place away from us in Tanpaku. At the current rate of loss, We have about 8 days left. We are losing ground at around 28,000 ppd, And I know everyone is stretched out right now...

If you can add Tanpaku to your BOINC buffer, and run it alongside your other projects that would be great. If you can jump in with both feet, that also would be great!! Whatever you wind up doing will help.

Thanks

Hey Bender,

I'll get back on some of that starting tonight. I've been meaning to make it back for awhile now. I have another quad showing up maybe today or tomorrow that I will need to burn in, might was well be on Tanpaku :rolleyes:

[Nflight]

I came back with one Dually, Seems Like I need to start collecting those quads myself, it might just be a better hobby outlook! :icon_redface:

[mitchellds]

I am getting rid of my last dually at home with this new quad.

i am doing a burn in on an amd 64 x2 5200+ so that should be there of atleast 10 or so hours i guess, still running down cache at abc on other comps when that gets a bit lower will throw some more cores at tanpaku

[PcManiac]

I will throw my fleet at Tanpaku after I reach 100,000 points in POEM. :)

[liuqyn]

Just hooked up all my cores to run this for awhile alongside my new pet project, Sudoku.

[Bender10]

Thanks everyone for the response.

I just finished almost the last of my Cosmo wu's this morning (I have 1 single core intel still plodding along). That should help a little.

[Bender10]

I'm running windoze x64 here, But I ran into that problem too much, so I switched back to the 32bit version of BOINC...Not enough projects support 64bit windows wu's....

[gatekeeper53]

I'll help out as much as I can,

*Yawn* What's taking you so long in Poem? Looks like I beat you to it, and so will Outlnder. :icon_mrgreen:

[Jason1478963]

We'll run Tanpaku and my normal project. See how well Boinc can balance the 2

I just attached one of my computers to this project, and got this message:

does this project not support A. x64 or B. Vista?

[Nflight]

Actually it does not say anything definitive!

Looks like in the message boards the current round does not have a working 64 bit x86 windows app, but it does have a working linux 64 bit x86 app.

[PcManiac]

hmm not cool!
so you're saying I need to run Linux on all my computers at MS? hahaha!
I guess I'll have to find another project :(
sad day

[sentient_life]

I'm running on Vista 32bit right now. No problems from what I can tell.

[Danish Dynamite]

i have rebooted 5200 and started xp 32 bit and only crunching tanpaku so that should be worth a couple of points:icon_wink:
