TAS Challenge July 2007: Leiden Classical.

[petrusbroder]

OTOH: I am crunching CPDN, Seti@home, MalariaControl, WCG and Einstein@Home.
My Macs really like Einstein@home!!!

We will see how many of my comps continue to crunch during the full 16 days fo my vacation! :thumbsup:

 

[Rudy Toody]

Will any pending credits that exist beyond the cutoff date be ignored or applied manually? I have a few that keep getting reassigned to users who don't seem to complete them.

 

[petrusbroder]

I propose that we ignore them ... the challenge has to come to an end ... and we want to have winners, don't we?

I'd be interested. I need to practice on my German--my grandfather says that my German sucks. LOL (His words).

Can we include some big projects this time? Our Einstein team for instance could need some help.

Thanks for posting the poll!

___ 5 750 ___________ 5 721.67 _______ 99.51% _______ 0.49% ____ Tom Philippart

It's getting tense!

 

[Philippart]

the funny thing is that the percentage loses its value now that many of us are close to the goal:
Caferace: 0.50% from goal, but 399.88 credits away
Me: 0.49% from goal, but only 28.33 credits away

 

[TallBill]

Philippart, perhaps thats kind of an intended skew towards the mass producers. Its easier for the big boys to get close to their targets, but still not a guaranteed win.

 

[Philippart]

4. The participant who reaches his/her goal or who comes closest wins the trophy.
If two or more participants reach their goal or the same number of credits (as calculated to two decimals) then a sudden death challenge starts:
who of those two participants crunches closest to 500 more credits.
The sudden death match starts when all other participants stopped crunching or have passed their goal.

I think that means that it is calculated in credits.

The percentages are only indicators of each members progress. Initially, we thought it would be a good method of selecting the winner, but because of this skew, we will use the difference in credits. Like a horse race, you can win by a nose whether it's a sprint or a route.

Here are the stats with a column for the differences:

OT: I'm the user of the day! Yipee!

:laugh:

I'll be there shortly. Four pending for 30 points.

My method was sound. My execution was not.

It looks good for Tom! :thumbsup:

This was fun! Let's do it again in September!

Tom Philippart is in the lead, Petrusbroder is on holiday, and BlackMountainCow and TallBill need to crunch real hard in the next 6 days.

Rudy Toody and caferace toodied the race!

 

[Philippart]

looks great for me!

 

[petrusbroder]

I see you ... it will be a fight to the knife!
I have some credits pending ... if they all come to roost (and not too much) then I'll be within 10 credits from the goal ... :Q

Lets wait and see - my method may be sound, but it is - as Rudy Toody said - a matter of execution too.

 

[BlackMountainCow]

I still hope you all make the toody! :evil:

No problem,
OTOH: I certainly hope I will not. Then it will be a fight between Tom and me. Nice!

Tom and Peter are still tight, with less than a week to go! :thumbsup:

All my pending are done. Notice that without the estimated 26 credits from my mistake I still would have toodied by 1.41 credits

 

[petrusbroder]

Yeah, but the pending are coming in very slowly and they are less than expected ...
All my pending credits are from one computer - a dual Athlon MP. It seems that those credits are being very slowly sent out ... I hope some more will come in, otherwise I'll have to start crunching again ...
