My stats for the first week were messed up because the stupid BOINC client decided to disable the BOINC service installation on most of my computers when I told them to switch to new projects and it took a while before I could get to the machines to fix them. :(

I'm back up and running properly now and hope to help with the push to 2 million for the month although I won't make my personal goal of 200K.

My total AMD GHz on Yoyo@Home is now 22.6!

:) How is it?

Link removed because someone merged two of my computers. Whenever one would report, Yoyo would rename it and abort the other computer's stuff! Back-and-forth!

This is a lesson: Never provide a link to a page that is behind one's password!

2645 floating point MIPS per CPU
8105 integer MIPS per CPU

I love it so far!

Are you sure it was that way Fred? I remember clicking on similar links in the past but I always got an error message to log in or that I didn't have access to that particular page.

I'm not really sure. I have never seen a link to merge computers on that site from my own login, however when I brought up the link in the post, the page had a link to merge computers. It was live and showed that I had only two computers and had checkboxes to merge those. I didn't try it and immediately removed the link from the post. I went into the account immediately after and the merge link was not there.

I can't think of anything else it might be.

Sorry for all the trouble you had with this ...
I followed the link, but did not encounter anything else but the info about your computer - no merging nothing, just the numbers.
Must have been hidden some how. Could it be a (script?) error on the server side?

I'd guess it was your login cookie that enabled you (Fred) to use the link, but as none of us has that cookie or your login credentials, I'd rather think of this as a server side glitch at yoyo. :)

Here are the stats for the third week @ the TAS-site.

The numbers look very good: 1 539 827 in 19 days. This could mean that we may reach 2.4 million points by the end of April ... can we do a sprint (in last 10 days) so we could reach 2 500 000 credits? It would be a great accomplishment! :sun:

Please, all TAS-crunchers, joint the race - let me know in this thread or @ TAS, and I'll add you to the stats! :D :thumbsup:

Thanks for the stats update! :)
2.5 mil would be great, I'll see if I can get another computer or so online. :)

7 more days to crunch the BOINC-month: time to add a core more, or a comp, or some more hours! :)

It's too late to save my miserable stats for the month, but I just replaced an old Celeron 2 Ghz machine with a new Core 2 Duo E4500 that should give me a decent boost for the rest of the month and a nice improvement next month.

Some stats tomorrow - or later if time will run short. I'll be visiting Rome (Italy) next week ... :D

Ok! That's ...

- 6 votes for ABC@Home
- 4 votes for µfluids@home
- 3 votes for rosetta@home
- 2 votes for spinhenge@home
- 1 vote for WCG

--> 18 votes total, the most we had in a long time.

So, in other words, ABC@Home is TAS' project for the month of May!


:beer::D:beer:


Now, where are our stats guys? Peter, Tom? Anyone taking starting stats?

Sorry, I won't do any stats this month, I have my final exams before university in the next weeks.
