The CB stats from yesterday had us dropping millions, so I ignored them. Todays look ok. Except that Oli seems to have done quite well recently ;)

I have noticed that if you view the stats whilst the CB project is running a game, many of the users are not in the stats file because the project server is updating them at the time. If Bok's stats update happens to occur during a game this is why we see lots of points drops on the "current" figures. The next stats update after the game has finished generally corrects everything as long as the CB server has finished updating all the users stats by the time the file is read.

There is also an intermittent problem where users appear to drop out of the stats file until the next CB stats file update on the CB server. That problem has been around for some time.

There is another scenario where points appear to shift backwards and forwards between users which is a deliberate attempt by certain users to kid themselves into thinking that they have achieved a stomp. It isnt. I have checked.

i wasnt looking for a stomp, i would be happy enough if my stats just added up as normal.

Hey everyone

I just noticed that something happened on the Find-a-Drug stats... 9 people disappeared from our team for no reason...

To you guys... ahab, Elez, SlackPawn, Eric;9, Matt;7, Bad, COOGS, Pasadena, PoloDeNante... if you guys didn't change team then don't worry, your stats will be accounted for the contest when you reappear again.

Something must have gone wrong in the FAD stats page, but it will be fixed soon.

LOL - Empty_5oul, I wasn't referring to anyone in our CB Team. I wasn't sure how to put it tactfuly so I left out the reference, but I should have made that more clear. Apologies.

[Empty_5oul]

ah, i see.

Hey everyone!

I'm a bit late, but I've done it. Another month has passed on the contest, and even though it's been silent these last couple of weeks, I've always been here watching over everyone.
I haven't updated the first post in a while. Been a bit lazy :P But the full tables on the website are updated everyday, and you can check them following the link to it that is right on the first post.
But without further delay, here's a little summary of how this last month was, and comparing to the first month.


17-or-Bust
In the two months I've been watching we produced 232.74 Tera cEM's, which is about 25% of our total production on this project!
Last month our production was 107.8 T cEM's, which means that this month we produced 124.94 T cEM's.


DNet OGR25
A month ago I had measured 482,213 GNodes for our first month of production. And today I see our two month production being 907,228 GNodes.
It's almost a million GNodes done in two months, and that is incredible, seeing that our team has only little over three million GNodes overall.
Our production lowered a little bit, from 482,213 GNodes in the first month to 425,015 GNodes in this second month.


DNet RC5-72
If in one month we had managed to put out 43,416 Blocks, in two months we put out 85,660 Blocks, which means our production was stable here.
We outputted 42,244 Blocks this month which is very close to what we had done last month.
But crunching 85,660 Blocks in two months is amazing, because our grand total on this project is currently 194,485 Blocks.


Find-a-Drug
We are going strong in many projects, and this is one of them. In two months of contest our production was 12,573,648 GFlops.
Given that in the first month we had only crunched 5,890,344 GFlops, that means that this month we crunched 6,683,304 GFlops. We are raising the bar here, lets see if we can keep it up.


Folding@Home
112,006 Points done in two months. Now this is a respectable output that has earned us some ranks up already.
In the first month of contest we had done 57,380 Points, and this month we didn't drop much from it, putting out 54,626 Points.


Grub
This is my favorite one to watch. And for you to see how well we're doing, in the first month we had outputted a staggering 20,246,668 URL's.
And this month we raised the bar even more and outputted 24,200,926 URL's, totalling in 44,447,594 URL's for the two months.


WhatPulse
To finish, one project we really have been jumping up lately. In two months we submited 19,840,624 Keypresses. Out of curiosity I did a few averages and learned that in these two months our team has been on average submitting 3.7 keypresses every second of the day and night.
An impressive value, and even more if we consider that we've dropped quite a bit here this month, from 11,387,962 Keys last month to 8,452,662 Keys this month.



Well, the contest is just a couple of weeks from ending, and most of the winners seem to be already defined due to the distance they have to their closest opponents. But surprises can still happen... ;)

Thanks Neo, a good summary. :D

Maybe, maybe not

7 days to go people!

It's almost finished and still I see surprises. If it weren't for OGR25's stats not be updated on the site by the time I made the contest values update, SlackPawn would already have conquered DMMc's 1st place. :P

Last chance for everyone! Let's put those machines (and fingers :P) working!
