Man I think I'm doing around 6 WU's a day now. Sitting at 385 right now. Wish there was an easy way to figure out your WUs/day without having to wait a week for the one's guys stats. Wish there was a SETI benchmark program out there that told you about how many WUs/day or per hour or whatever each system you have does so you could add them up to find a general idea. I'm not a coder so I can't really do this myself. Maybe make a benchmark that includes all the important Seti features and tests them like cache size, speed, FSB speed, CPU type, memory bandwidth, etc.

But anyways, I'm grabbing my 3-4 extra boxes at work like I normally do to do Seti on this weekend so I see myself hitting 400 WU's by the end of Sunday easy. About how many WUs/day do Michael and JWMiddleton do?

Hi Ben,

I run SetiSpy and SetiDriver on each of my ships. SetiSpy generates a log file that shows the time for each WU. This allows me to calculate the average time per WU and determine my output per ship. This week I created a spreadsheet with each system by day with a weekly total. I compare that daily with OK and Nexus9. SetiSpy also gives you lots of good info about your system and the WU you are currently analyzing to include a Sky map!:):D

In addition the guy who wrote SetiSpy has another program called Latency2 that I used to tweak a PIII-450. I got the WU time down from a little over 9:00 hours to 7.25 hours by changing BIOS settings and rerunning Latency2 after each change to see the effect.

I'm doing in the area of 17-20 WU's per day right now. I should have some pretty heavy firepower joining me in the not too distant future and that may jump by a lot. I'll see if all the computers come online.

My personal fleet

Flagship C850 on an Abit BXR2 3 WU/day
Dually1 2xC400 on an Abit BP6 2 WU every 18 hours or about 2 2/3 WU per day
Dually2 2xC450 on an Abit BP6 4 WU/day
Sarah 1xC433 on a generic ZX MB 1 WU every 14 hours or about 1.7 WU/day
Laptop 1xPII366 Dell 1 WU/day (doesn't work 24/7, does RC5 when not doing SETI)
Redhat2 1xC450 on a cheap BX MB 2 WU/day (newest addition)

total of about 14.4 WU/day from just my computers

I'm getting 3-5 WU/day from one helper running SETI on some lab machines where he works (at least one PIII 800, not all going 24/7). Was not a member of TA before he started to help me.

Could have a couple dozen HP "supercomputers" turned on for me. (not currently a TA member)

Could have a quad cpu server and a "hexa-pig" server turned on for me (not a TA member)

A couple of others may toss in a couple WU's / week (running as screensaver and not 24/7).

All my helpers are planning on giving me a boost for a while and then I hope they'll all join TA as individuals so we keep getting the blocks.

Ben - you can get detailed seti stats from my web site - go into "Team Anandtech Daily Stats" and click on a user. You'll find out how many work units they've done every day since my site started.

WOW :) unbelieveable site. I thought I had visited all the Seti sites in people's sigs. Guess not :)

"Ask and you shall receive" :) hehe

Lets see what else do I want that I can ask for on here that someone will give me immediately... anybody got an extra car or truck that needs some work that they don't have time to fix that they want to give to me so I can fix it up and give it to someone I know who needs a car? :) How about a job? I'm graduating with an associate's degree in computer information systems with a concentration in networking this December, anybody wanna give me a job? :)

Seeing how those go to see what else I could ask for... :)
