AMD Users Performance Contest - Spring 2005 (Finished!)

[NeoGen]

Contest ends tomorrow!

Make your last flushes today people, because in less than 24 hours it's over. Be aware that projects like Dnet for example only update the stats every 24 hours. If you miss their deadline for flushing data it will not be accounted for tomorrow's stats.



On a side note... I confess I did not think our team could push so much on these projects like it did in these last 2 and a half months of contest. Our increase in the ranks tables show just that. Great work team!! :D

And also congratulations and thanks to everyone that participated but did not win.
A long journey of contest ends today, with the crowning of the top crunchers at the specified contest projects. Some of our winners might have won by sheer raw power, others might have won by strategy, but in the end both kinds of efforts prevailed.


This contest was not just for measuring members power, but it was also a great lesson of experience for me about storing and managing stats data, and overcoming all unexpected situations during work (and they were not few)


And in the end, it was of major benefit for the Team, as the spirit of competitivity boosted our members production quite alot and helped us overcome many obstacles and go up dozens and dozens of ranks on the projects. (Sneaking up and overtaking Team Ninja was probably one of the nice side effects the contest produced ;))


On my behalf I can only say that I'm very proud of the Team! :D We, all together, made a fantastic job! I have now some experience and tools for stats handling and am now more ready to host future contests, if the Team wishes I still remember that there was a pending idea called "Boinc Grand Prix", courtesy of our admin Vaughan, that I am now ready to host and manage if the Team shows interest on it. ;)

p.s. - When I say "Team" (with a capital T) I mean YOU! ;) Yes, you that are reading this. If you're reading this you're more than likely a member of our team, and so YOU also have right to talk. Speak out your oppinion! Post away!

Well done Neo,

An excellent 3 months effort. Congrats to the winners.

:D :D :D

Congrats to the winners. Chaz you pulled that out of the bag :!: and I had everything I could that would anyway running SOB. Even my old P166mmx finished its task (it took about 9 months but was running for most of the contest [could you tell :?: ]).

I think we need to vote if we have a BOINC Grand Prix or select some other "conventional" projects for a race. Sort of like a handicap event if we run with BOINC - the more machines / projects you throw at BOINC the more you are handicapped ;)

I agree with BOINC and handicapped being used in the same sentence

However I'll go with what ever the majority decides.

I agree but grudgingly. :protest:

I'd not only have to be handicapped I'd have to be bludgeoned with a cudgel. :violent1: ( is that a redundant statement?)

But what ever is decided I'll play along and do my best :deathlyobsessed:
