2 hours 10 mins to go!
good grief.
if this fails on me i'm gonna kick my pc all the way over to seattle!!!!! :laugh:

 

[Alyx]

I'll be in Seattle for a couple days come a month and a half from now. If your next WU fails we might be there at the same time.

 

[rabrittain]

Rudy Toody lives in Seattle. I live in Tacoma.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this -- need more coffee.

 

[TAandy]

now 24 mins to go!
after 489 hours.
anyone got their catchers mitts? :laugh:

 

[Rudy Toody]

I have crunched 10 of these beauties and gotten credit for 6 of them. Waiting for 4 wingmen to finish.

With another quad up and running, I will be able to crunch 12 during the next go-around.

Hang in there, TAandy, you will get done!

[TAandy]

at last.
3,642.50 credits too lol
next one still has 8 hours to go

 

[networkman]

Congratulations on a completed WU Andy. Most of mine are looking to finish at around 610 hours each! :shocked:

:beer:

4 and a half hours to go on another one.
think the final one still has about 120 to go!

 

[TAandy]

2 hours, 10 mins lol

 

[Rudy Toody]

I have one more working: 11:30 hr @ 11% completed. It was aborted by one of the French at over 640K secs! Never give up!

[Rudy Toody]

Congratulations for sticking it out, TAandy! You just collected 3.6K credits for that effort!

 

[rabrittain]

TAandy, are you somewhere close to Washington state?

... just wondering.

Another one just finished. 300 and a few odd hours on the C2D 6320.

The P4 is still trucking along at 567 hours done at 70.57%. :Q I just hope this one finishes before hell freezes over or the rock it's looking for hits us.

Finally finished "LINEAR.CSS.10y.S01_370190_22928_2008.06.20_02.13.25_1" on a P4 Xeon 2.8 -- only took 741h 55m 55s!! :shocked:

For those curious and not having a calculator nearby, that's just under 31 days of CPU time.. for a single work unit! :roll:

Since I don't happen to own any C2D or higher rigs yet, I think that's enough of this project for me.

Way to hang in there!

I have finished 11 WUs and gotten credit for 8. And, I just got another one to crunch!

Well, I've decided to fire up the Einstein@Home clients, and with a video card coming from Gravity I'll be doing the Folding@Home project on at least one rig.

Edit: The thing that would really help the Orbit@Home project would be to implement the "trickle" method so that an error at say 92% doesn't kill the whole work unit and end up with you losing literally hundreds of hours of CPU time, as I have had 2 units fail with over 300 hours each.

 

[RobertE]

881:45 hrs, 98.269% done. I think I seen the end of the tunnel.

Orbit needs trickles in a bad way.

What processor is that on, RobertE?

 

[RobertE]

A sorry P4 2.8 Dell machine.

This one here. Linky

It's only got 512 of ram. Have been thinking about putting more in it since ram is dirt cheap now. But I also think I'd be better off just to replace it. Or retire it. All it does is crunch and host my MP3s that never get listened too.

Currently BOINC says 901 hrs , 99.499% done. 4:30 to go. This might just finish before hell freezes over.

 

[Rudy Toody]

I just finished a CSS.10y WU @ 45:00:00 for pending 900+ credits and have 3 others pending for 3700+ credits. I have gotten credit for 8.

Crunch on!

 

[RobertE]

It's done. Finally.

3,302,359.00 seonds
917 hours 19 minutes 19 seconds.
Just a bit over 38.2 days of grinding 24/7.
Claiming 6,763.85 credits.

Unless trickles are done, me things that the P4 machine has seen the last of Orbit.
