I don't venture over here often - so spare me the flames. Up front... this is a blatant recruiting thread.
DPAD (Distributed Particle Accelerator Design) is a relatively obscure Distributed Computing project. Your Anandtech DPAD TeAm is presently ranked 4th in the world.
We've basically had our faces spit in by the "great" US-Distributed team. We can take the disrespect - but sending a couple of guys over to spy, and crunch big numbers - then try to derail our efforts and demoralize the team -- only THEN to take over 6,000,000 points BACK to US-D (leaving us with a 12,000,000 point defecit to overcome) is really the last straw. We're asking for 300 volunteers - to open up a GREAT BIG TA can of "whoop-ass" on these "gentlemen."
This is just a fraction of the over 30,000 users of this forum. If you've got some smart-a$$ comment - keep it to yourself. We're serious about this. If you're about nothing but taking bandwidth free from Anand - more power to you (I guess). If you're even remotely into giving something BACK - then read on.
Now... you're ALL geeks - or you wouldn't be here. Surely your unused CPU cycles can be spared for a good cause. These guys have HUGE, HULKING GOLIATH systems available to them. We're just regular geeks with a PC or two. How about a hand for the little guys?
Here's everything (practically) you need to know about DPAD
It's EASY - it's fun and it's for TA.
Team Anandtech plays fair, but make no mistake -- we're going to be #1 in this race. To call what has transpired "situationally ethical" would be quite gracious. Now -- I want to see some STOMPING~!
Well... can you STOMP? Even ONE machine helps. Don't do it for me... do it for Anand -- who makes these forums possible.
