"Race to the top" recruitment-and stats thread: Correlizer

Anyone else notice that the BOINC client doesn't give an accurate percentage of completion for currently running WUs? Or more like it's non-existent? I know it's a little "quirk" but it's something that I sometimes see first, before the "Time Remaining"

My progress bar doesn't move at all. Always at 0%. But doesn't seem to affect the results though.

yeah same here - only changes from 0 to 100% when finished but it remains 0 all the way through the WU.

The Beta WUs have the correct progress bar. And they get a few more points! Make sure you have Beta checked in your project preferences.
 
RAC - 76,563 for the team!

It keeps inching up! we need more!

Ok - I was going to keep one machine for WCG but I have just added my Phenom II quad to correlizer!

I have all my 16 cores on Correlizer hopefully it helps a little bit more!

:thumbsup:

We want the difference between the teams (last column) to grow, not to shrink. We have reached that goal for the last 3 days. Well done!
Please add some more cores to Correlizer because we want to get to the top in less than a week, which is possible, but we need to add more cores!
 
Thanks! 😀

BTW ... I had originally planned to go back to WCG when hitting 1 M points in this project but I have changed my mind.
I'll stay on until we are #1 in points and #1 in production for a full week at least. Then I will see - there may be an other project!

We're moving along well!
 
I have a 4200+ X2 system I just piecemealed together in an attempted to get crunching. Only had a spare 2GB flash drive I used to put Ubuntu on, however not enough space for Correlizer to operate.
No case for the system, and it's sitting on my entertainment center connected to the TV. Wife is going to make me put it all away tonight. Maybe I'll make a Fry's run tomorrow morning and get a cheap case and HDD.
Had to use a screwdriver to short the pins to turn it on.
 
AMD does incredibly well on this project compared to Intel, so you might be pleasantly suprised uppsala. Btw, does any1 know if Bulldozer does just as well as other AMD cpus?

I did a similar project just 4 days ago - a real quick one X2 5000+. It sits un-boxed on the bench and crunches well ... approx 20 minutes/wu ... in 4 days it has crunched more than 600 WUs!. Not too shabby for a 6 years old CPU, 5 years old mobo, DDR2 RAM from I don't know when, an ancient Seagate IDE 80 GByte HDD and a really old Sony CD-Rom. Ubuntu of course ...

he he - guess we are all in sync.

I just did this same thing with an x2 5000+ last weekend...and it crunches well considering its age. It has been my test bench for some time but recently I upgraded the HD and had not bothered to install anything.
 
I'm in the process of moving my X2 3800+ cruncher to a case with better cooling and will fire it up once it's done. It's great to see something from 2005 still be useful!
