TA Seventeen or Bust... what's going on?

[Allio]

After reigning the project for what seems like forever, we've fallen pretty seriously from grace. Team Prime Rib has over double our production and is extending what is becoming a massive lead, and we're producing at the same rates as several much smaller teams. In particular, a single user in Darkside DC is outproducing our entire team.

Are we going to give up entirely on this project? Many have pledged help but it never seems to come. Our competition is much more organised than us, and no doubt reacted much faster to the release of a new client that gives massive rates on pretty much all modern systems.

Even after all this, it's still a small project, and a little help could go a long long way, ESPECIALLY if you have P4s to contribute. It would be a huge shame to let our hard-won lead evaporate forever at a stage where we could easily make a difference.

I would have joined a while ago, but had some problems with our firewall at work. So I got SBQueue working last week and have since added a P4 2.4, 2x P4 2.6 and a P4 2.8, all running the new client! I do a dial-up now and again to download and upload wu with SBQueue.

Hope this helps a bit!

 

[Allio]

That is fantastic news! Thanks for helping out

You should be pulling a great rate with all that...

 

[SinfulWeeper]

I'm giving all I can, wish it were more .

/me checks the stats

TA already in front of DPC, no need to add any more

[Ladypcer]

Ok, made me wonder if I was looking at the stats wrong.

Hate to tell ya, but the same is true in the non-BOINC CPDN project as well. As of late, TA had been doing only a couple years per day, although someone must've ramped up a little as the team is now at a little over 6 years per day. I'm doing the project(with my boss at work) for his team - Team ACG - and we're cranking out a little over 20 years per day just between the two of us; I'm doing between 12 and 15 years myself. But then again, CPDN is the ONLY project we're doing; Team Anandtech has members spread across.. what? 20 or more projects - with respectable positions in most? Bear that in mind before getting too upset.

I still run S@H on a box for TA, it's not much I realize, but I haven't completely abandoned the TeAm.

It really is a small team when my 1 p4 is doing over 1% of the teams output. I know everyone keeps saying it, but just a few computers in this project makes a big difference.

I will be adding 8 or 9 P4 2.8's to the fray this weekend. The results will be sporadic though as they are going to be sneakernetted.

 

[amdxborg]

Wow awesome stuff!!!

 

[n0cmonkey]

Due to financial, heat, and space issues I'm down to two machines running sb. Sorry everyone.

That's about 13M cEM/s if they're dedicated. Fantastic stuff!

No worries, n0c. Real life always comes first.

What is sneakernetted???

That's where you have your tenny-shoes on and a floppy disk or two in your hot little hands, and you run around between machines putting on new work units, and copying off completed ones so you can then take them to a system that has internet access to upload the completed and suck down new ones.....
