If RC5 and ECCp were to end soon...would the DPC...

Dominate the remaining DC projects....?

Just look at the power that these guys put out in these two projects alone....and on top of that, they put out respectible numbers in SETI...and other projects too!

All that ECCP power and RC5 power would most likely be distributed to the other projects and, IMO, they would take top spots in several projects at some point in the future....

Things that make you go...."hmmmmm"?

😕
 
I think we taunted them so much in the past, they actually produced the power to call our bluff. 🙂

IMO, they should put all their power to RC5 so everyone can press on to something else. Man, that thing has been going on a while. Whew! 😉

You got to admit though their CPU power is very impressive!

They have actually been moving some of their RC5 power to ECCp, since they are trying to fend off Ars and seem to have a lock on RC5.

How are they doing in SETI these days? last time I looked they had a rather weedy team😉

Around 2k per day.....I think they have 700k total...but with all that power, 20k days may be ahead! :Q

 
4400!!! ,holy sh*t! ,a vast armada like that would produce a shed load of WU's!

Why do you ask?
Btw a PIII 500 would do a WU in about 11hrs using the CLi version
 
holy crap is right!!!!

thats ~9,600 work units a day
~67,200 work units a week and 3,494,400 a year!!!

Sign them up!!!! 😀
 
DPC does about 1,936,000 blocks/day in RC5. Figuring a PIII/500 at 440 blocks/day, I come up with 4,400 machines to produce their output.
 
And, they might have the internal organization to align processor architectures with the projects where they perform best, possibly improving those performance estimates.

Ran across this awhile back, some might not have seen it. Who knows how accurate it is.
 
Thanks for that link Kris! Per that chart we are really outclassed at the top of the charts!

If and when RC5 and ECCp end and all the power diverted to SETI we will still be a Top 10 TeAm, but it will be a constant battle to maintain.
 
I'm the maintainer of that page. It does hose every now and again, but that is usually because of one of the projects' stats pages not downloading correctly. The problems usually rectify themselves within a day, though. (for instance, the seti column is again populated. heh)

As to where the data comes from: a data miner goes out daily and grabs the stats for the top teams from each of the projects, and then converts the WU's/day into GHz using some numbers that Larry Loen from ArsTechnica calculated. It's approximate, but it seems to generally work.

As to some of the strangeness that shows up:
1)HP's huge numbers. This is because HP and Compaq merged their teams, giving HP a gigantic boost in units. This will correct itself over time.
2)Negative DF units. This is because of team jumpers in DF who have large numbers of units, and who are capable of actually giving teams a negative 30 day production average. Wish this sort of thing didn't happen because it makes stats pages get all confused.
3)Missing teams - I have to sort through the team lists manually to make connections between teams in different projects. If I'm missing a team, or you think I might have done something incorrectly, then by all means let me know! I'm available at tellian@lusers.net

I'll try to peek back in here to read any responses.
 
Tellian,
Very nice page! Keep up the good work. You might want to consider adding OGR-25 to your table. OGR-24 is mostly inactive. There is a spurt of activity now and then, but IMHO not worth the effort.
Thank you.

PS 4400*500/1000=2200 ~ 2209 for RC5 - DPC

J.
PPS I just did a quick calculation for OGR -DPC and came up with 960 PIII/500 so
960*500/1000 = 480 GHZ Not quite a drop in the bucket.
 
Tellian,
I just had another thought. Do you have an "All participants" entry? i.e. the total for each project. Not just the total for the teams you monitor, but the overall reported total for each project, a Rank 0 so to speak.

Thanks again.
