Christmas Quest Contest

[meshmar]

And the distance to meshmar is getting shorter and shorter.

Now that I've flushed the last of the PPS WUs, you should see the rate of approach decrease somewhat .




Since someone has decided to tune up his turbocharger, I may have to tweak a little harder.

[BlackAdder]

No need for tune ups .... MY Opteron will crush you all...he he he ha ha ha ( fiendish laugh )

surrender now while you still can....

New stats are up, now with minimum and maximum cpu times for workunits working, and a few other corrections. A few oddities appear, like some very short minimum times here and there, but those are real values found in (odd?) workunits.

Seems like meshmar shifted up a gear, but same did vaughan that already caught up and got ahead of Jason. We'll have to see in the next set of stats how the numbers evolve.

And in other news, we've just passed the 100K Credits milestone! These 11 machines alone have generated 105,154.94 Credits in 10 days.

As long as I can maintain that 3K lead over Vaughan, I should be ok. Our crunch rate is very close right now, and I can always break out the Nitromethane for one last push if I need it ...

Just as an aside, I came across this in the forums:

" Prime Sierpinski Project (Sieve) Application builds are available for Linux 32 & 64 bit and Windows 32 & 64 bit. Note: 64 bit Windows and 64 bit Linux benefit from a 1.5X speed advantage over 32 bit...so 1.5X the credit. "

That confirms that the 64 bit OS's give a speed advantage for PSP (sieve) ...

Stats update!

This race is becoming very interesting between the top 3.
Meshmar, your 3K lead is down to 2.6K. Vaughan is crunching like if there's no tomorrow.

[Ramjet]

Hmm, I was really counting on my 1,912.59 pending credit to help me catch up, but you guys are pulling away now, I feel like I'm stuck on a deserted island and you guys are sailing off into the sunset

[mitchellds]

yup, its looking like 3 of our contestants have got it really dialed in for a tight race down to the wire. And we're only about 33% of the way through the month !!

Time for another small tweak

You're just going to force me to push things - aren't you?

[vaughan]

I wonder how one of these new AMD dual core cpus might go in the Quest?
AMD Athlon X2 7750 black edition
Can anyone translate the Turkish language at www.Donanimhaber.com

Well, new stats are up, but I'm unsure if the tweak is working or not.
The gap is now at 2.5K, but if the tweak forced a pit stop like for vaughan the other day, then the gap might have been at some point even shorter and now be increasing again. We'll have to see in the next stats run.
