TAS-member thread: February 2006: BOINC-month it is!

[petrusbroder]

Soon new stats - only a few hours to go ...

 

[petrusbroder]

Here are the current stats for February - the combined BOINC-month!

The numbers look good, but more effort is needed!

TAS needs to increase it's daily production from 35 360 credits/day to 36 500 credits/day to reach the goal of 1 000 000 credits produced in February. That is a 3.25% increase! Can we do it? Please check:

1. Those who crunch seti: are you using the optimized applications?
2. Have you eliminated memory resident programs hogging CPU-cycles and RAM?
3. Is the computer on 24/7 or as much as possible?
4. Have assimilated as many computers as you can?
5. Can you suspend other crunching for a few days to increase production in BOINC?
6. Have you chosen projects which fit your processors?

Every optimization counts ... lets give it a grand effort! :thumbsup:

well, i'm letting my simap pending deplete itself a bit so i should get some more results in bbc cpdn and regular cpdn.

i did start up a f@h wu on my sons machine because theres really not another boinc project i like aside from what i'm running. and its running 2x boinc anyway so overall, i think you can expect a bit of improvement from me this last half of the month.

 

[amdxborg]

Awesome thanx Peter!

Well I added 2x 3ghz ht p4 crunchers last week and should add another 2 this week.

 

[GLeeM]

Thanks for the sTAts, Peter

 

[Insidious]

Thanks Peter!

I'm giving it all I can, but I will be sure to kick each box daily!

(Are you counting all that I am crunching under 'Insidious'? That would be Rosetta, SIMAP and BBC-CDPN... My numbers seem a little low in your stats)

I tried to get and add tasSID and Insidious - but those were the numbers from Feb. 18, not Feb. 19! I think they are right ... :Q

 

[Insidious]

Thanks Peter.
It's all good.

Have not seen him in a while - but he is crunching on and delivering quite a lot of work ...
I miss him ... would be fun if he was around now and then.

 

[caferace]

I busted 50k. Happy enough for me, since I've only been BOINC'ing since 12/05.

 

[petrusbroder]

Great and congrats, caferace - that was fast!

Oh, its Feb. 21 today - one week left of the month's project. Crunch on, please and lets give it a final rush! :sun:

I'll put up the poll tomorrow (or today - depending on how "real life" turns out). Anything anybody wants me to add to the poll? :Q


Edit: a spelling error - which made me blush ...

 

[petrusbroder]

Here is the poll for TAS' March project.

Please vote as soon as you can.

There is a new project: BBC-Climate Change Experiment, a CPDN-project. Takes forever to cruch (OK not for ever but about 3 - 4 months per WU, deadline is 1 year!

So take a look!

If not a member, then join TAS here!

 

[amdxborg]

Thanx for the poll Peter! I just can't seem te decide..

 

[rise]

thanks Peter, i'll have a chat with my rigs tonite and see how they feel

 

[Insidious]

I can't talk now...... tryin' to get it to rain in Brazil

(Thanks Peter :thumbsup: )

[petrusbroder]

It snows in Tibet ...
It rains over Fidji

A high preassure and hot spot over TAS-mania! :sun: :beer:

 

[caferace]

Just added two PIII's (866Mhz each) to the grid. I put 'em on SIMAP just in case it wins the March poll.

Hehe, nice to see that SIMAP get's so many votes ... it's a project of University of Munich, which I visited a couple of times before I decided which university to go to.

 

[amdxborg]

Looks great so far!

Well if it's Simap and it looks like it will be, I'll be sitting out. The wu are just to big for me to go unnoticed at work.

 

[BlackMountainCow]

I know what you mean Johan. I usually spend about 15 minutes uploading WUs from one night in the morning. And that's just 2 PCs with 50% SIMAP!

i was wondering why you stopped.

too bad, you had some nice numbers too.

 

[petrusbroder]

Sorry folks, Real Life just came in - the stats will be done as soon as I can - just not just now
(Car broke down in - 17 degrees C with all kids, far away from help, had to fix it myself which took "a few" hours. The kids were just great - they called it an "adventure"
As if that was not enough the hospital called me in for on-call-duty... came home half an hour ago ... wonderful Sunday
Going to bed ...
