OGR stats are up--TA #1

[Viztech]

Some other good news is that the /. did about 50% of our team output of valid OGR blocks, about the same rate as RC5. This is indicative that they are in the same situation as us, I hope.

The DPCs came in at #10, at a rate which is 20% of ours, so they probably did a better job than us as a team disabling OGR for the users that wanted to stay RC5.

The Thunderstorm went into OGR 100% ready with the later OGR clients, and comparing the numbers at Mika with Dnet shows a lot of work went to waste on OGR with old clients.

It will take a week or so to show where the TA OGR team is going to run. I for one am very sad that OGR has gotten off to such a poor start from the aspect of the users who were not adequately prepared. Thanx needs to go to Dnet for reacting quickly with a pproxy that will shut off OGR on the earlier clients. Too bad they were not in place when OGR started.

D.net's stats servers are down. I was wondering why I did 500 blocks yesterday, now I know.

I'm still interested to see what the systems I'm running on did so far on OGR. If it's any good... I'll switch to OGR.


BTW... Does OGR run better on Athlons then P3's like on RC5?

Here's your OGR stats SSP http://stats.distributed.net/ogr-24/psummary.php3?id=295755
I don't know the comparison for P!!! to Athlon, but a K6 is 10% faster than an MMX Pentium, so I imagine that Athlons are Very good at OGR. OGR is looking to be the best project for K6s that I know of.
Aberent was doing an OGR benchmark database, I wonder if I could find that link....

Woooo!

I will be waiting to see how we did at Dnet today... c'mon Statsbox! I for one have been looking forward to doing OGR with Thunderstorm, even if I am the runt of the Thunderstorm litter. Now, who is jarendt@mindspring.com who's ahead of us? Way to crack (if that's the proper word with OGR), jarendt!

ViRGE, Mika or anyone else in the know: when will Mika's have the OGR stats up?

 

[BoberFett]

Isn't jarendt Drakkhen?

Edit: Oh, and Mika's OGR stats are up.

 

[mechBgon]

sweet, thanks BobberFett!

/me scurries off to Mika's...

 

[Drakkhen]

Yes, jarendt is me. I will change it one day I just don't want to do down in Mika's stats

Thanks for the compliments, but I could have done better if my clients had all been up to snuff. I still have a few here and there that are on an older client.

Which brings up my gripes with the RC5 to OGR transition.

1. Way too short of a notice.
2. Because of the short notice, alot of cpu cycles were wasted, because we didn't know the older clients were invalid for OGR.

The last reason is reason enough for them to have given more thought to letting people know a little bit ahead of time.

The new version of the pproxy will fix it, but that is a little like closing the doors after the cows have gotten out (well maybe not, but I couldn't resist the pun).

Just my 2 cents.
