NEW PROJECT - Pi Segment (not boinc)

[Evil-Dragon]

Ouch and i thought my machine crunched a WU slowly...

I only got it on the one machine at the moment.

my 1 ghz celeron took 4:23 to do the last one it did

My P4 3.0GHz takes about 2h to do 1 WU. I'm trying one of my brother's computer which is my old AMD Athlon XP 1700+ (1.4GHz), taking forever.

My P4 3.0GHz takes about 2h to do 1 WU.

I guess this is a project best suited for newer AMD's and dual cores then. My Athlon64 3200+ at work, clocked at 2GHz I think, sweeps them at little over 1 hour each.

Everyone is always screaming about a level playing field, I don't see how one could get anymore level than this. It looks like fun and a great way to promote DC'ing in China. Welcome Just.

I wonder how many WU's till the Pi record is broken?

I wonder how many WU's till the Pi record is broken?

The current test is to compute Pi's 40000000000000th bit and it spend about 28 days. But the speed is not equal during the test: at the beginning, the speed is less than 300 results per day.
The newest record is the 1000000000000000th bit, 25 times as we have just finished. My plan is to double this record. Moreover, we need the same number of WUs to verify the result's precision.
In sum, 100 times as we have done. As the users will increase after deployment and the process is improving, I hope we can get it within two years. In addition, the huge computation resources is wasted in China. I expect the project can use them so that it will certainly accelerate the progress.


BTW, the WUs have been assigned over. After analyzing the results, I will add some more WUs.

Can you give us an idea on when there will be more wu's? I only got to play for a couple of hours but I really like the 40 minute wu's.

[NeoGen]

Work is out already... 7,000+ WU's. Look at the statistics chart!

[gatekeeper53]

Only a short time down. Just must really be on top of things.
