Been busy lately, so haven't had the time to keep-up with the forums.

1st. things thirst, yes, add me to the race...:

16754 - Ingleside


As for BOINC-clients, as long as you're running atleast v5.2.6 it doesn't really matter then it comes to SETI@home. Still, would highly recommend to run atleast v5.4.11. Also, if you're running a v5.10-client, make sure this is atleast v5.10.13, if something like v5.10.7 and you're running windows, upgrade ASAP.

One thing to remember, if you're running v5.10.14 or later, if a project doesn't have any reasons for asking for more work, it will normally delay reporting of results with 24 hours, one thing to remember for the end-of-race.


As for optimized SETI@home-applications on the other hand, Sir Ulli is likely better informed than me.

 

[Freewolf]

I haven't ran Seti since Classic ended but I will switch the few machines I have left over from Tanpaku for the race.

 

[baxsie]

Ummm, I guess I'm on board. Do I need to do anything different?

5179 - Baxsie

 

[keeleysam]

Uh Oh, I didn't read all the rules.

I've just sent invites to all of our heavy hitters. :Q

What the hay, it's all for fun anyway.

 

[Assimilator1]

That's good!

IIRC the main 2 rules are you have to sign up to be in & no stashing results to dump during the race.

Here's the rules
Its seems the team splitting rules also factor in RAC.

Did you say their's upto a weeks delay before credit is actually given for any finished WU?

No, I said it was 24 hours == 1 day delay of reporting results, if no other reason to connect, like you're asking for more work. Just something to remember, in case someone sets "no new work" then filled-up their cache and so on.

As for actual crediting, this depends on your "wingman", so can happen either immediately after you've uploaded your results, or over 1 month after you've returned your results...

The odds of being paired with someone that decides to go AWOL is roughly the same for everyone, so a few wu's not being validated before after the race shouldn't change much.

Ah. Signiifcant reduction in crunching times using the SSE3 clients on my C2D and PentiumD boxes. V. nice..

Thanks, Sir Ulli! :thumbsup:

[Ken g6]

I guess I'll jump back into SETI for a couple of weeks for this. As long as adding a slow guy doesn't hurt us, why not?

Ken_g6 - Team Anandtech | 18498

Edit: I guess this is a worthwhile 2500'th post.

 

[petrusbroder]

Good to see you, Ken_g6!

Congrats to your 2500th! (... and many more ... )

There are a LOT of really good/smart crunchers on those teams. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see that 465k exceed a Million before the end of the Gauntlet.

[Coolkid]

Guess I'll join in with a couple of boxes, it's been a while since I've participated in a good S@H race
Userid 34350 - Coolkid

 

[keeleysam]

My RAC should increase by about 3000 over the next few days. It's currently at about 13,500.

 

[petrusbroder]

I would not be surprised if TeAm AnandTech (and some other teams) will be split up for the race ... well, it does not really matter, it gives a somewhat more level playing field.

 

[petrusbroder]

Just for the sake of repetion (since today is the last for registration):

From the Gauntlet FAQ:

If you want to join a team, just send an email to rweezepoel[at]yahoo[dot]com, stating your account number and user name.
If you have a Gauntlet thread on your team forum, please include this in your email, I will then create a link to it. You can also sign up by replying there. This is the preferred way of joining a team. If you have multiple subteams they can share the same thread. Registration for TKIG 2007 will close Sunday October 28th, 24.00(GMT+1).

 

[bryanW1995]

that's ok, it's just nice to stir up interest!
