    Cosmology now Milkyway

    L'Alliance Francophones decided that Milkyway was going to be there new project to over take our lead. Thanks goes to CarcinogenX is leading our Team Efforts but, today the Francophones have decided to push out 2 1/2 times the output. IF your stumbling on deciding which project to push some points too, this might be one of those deciding moments. Vaughan has come on board to push out some workunits, anyone else interested in placing some crunchers now is the time!





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

    …Pursuit is always hard, capturing is really not the focus, it’s the hunt ...

    Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist".

    Milkyway tasks are nice and short to run, about 10 to 20 minutes each. There is some random message about 20 tasks per host in BOINC manager but just ignore it as it will only limit the download to 20 at a time. It will grab some more every so often so you don't run out.

    Strange thing about this project - my AMD 5200 running Linux can outperform a Q6600 running windows xp.

    This is the perfect AMD project

    I took a look @ your Pc's since you have them showing & I don't really see what you are basing that that on. Don't forget the Quad is running 4 WU's @ a time and the 5200 only 2 WU's, so yes it can run 2 WU's faster than the Quad can run 4 WU's, but if you add up the time it takes the 5200 to run 4 WU's as far as I can see the Quad is faster ...

    Clock for clock, an AMD will out crunch an Intel cpu ... per WU, not per core.

    I don't have a quad core to compare amd to intel, but my dual core is faster than any dual core intel at the same clock speed.

    We have today went up a step from fourth to third place

    Come join us and have fun. Short WU´s as takes from 5.14 to 19.17 on AMD64 3200+ and 5.19 to 15.48 in Intel C2D.

    Of cource a heavier and faster computer runs their tasks faster.

    I have after little more than a 24-hour period earned over 2.000 points.
