TAS-member thread for December 2008: A race in WCG

[petrusbroder]

Some time ago the TeAm, has issued a team challenge in World Community Grid (WCG):
a race (for those who don not fold) between different teams. As of now 34 teams have accepted, late comers are allowed, so I think there will be more teams.

Here is the link to the challenge.

Here is the link to the TeAm-members stats.

The nice part is that WCG does all the stats for the race between the teams.
I'll do only the TAS-members individual stats (I hope I can figure out a way to collect the data more easily ...)

Please post here if you will crunch WCG in December!

Lets get crunching!

Edit: <<Please join! We need all and everyone to join. We are in a race with [Hard]-OPC!

Stickied, because we can't help ourselves when it comes to races!

I'll definitely crunch WCG. As suggested in another thread, I'll switch my fleet a couple of days early so that I can get a "running start" and be near full-strength by the time the challenge starts. Actually, as soon as I see the TeAm pass 1M in Docking, I'll switch.

Thanks for setting up the challenge, Peter. :thumbsup:

Cheers,
Sofa King

I'll be crunching with for some machine and the others to F@H.

Thanks!

I can't run Folding (well, I CAN but I don't want to spend hours setting it up) and we're only a few points away from 1 mil in Docking so I'm switching everything over to WCG today.

 

[caferace]

I'm in.

I will not be participating in F@H or WCG this month or on the Jan TAS project. I have decided that because I am also a big violator of the OT restriction in this forum, I am going to keep a low profile until such time as I think things might be fun again.

See you in February.

[Rudy Toody]

My arm has been twisted! I am back on Nutritious Rice on WCG.

 

[petrusbroder]

LoL!
I really appreciate that!

It would not be the same place without - among others - you, our inhouse analyst of nymphomaniacs (I think I'll change your title over @ TAS!

 

[petrusbroder]

The race starts in approx. 47 minutes ...

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

EDIT: Errr, ooops. Wrong thread, sorry.

 

[Rudy Toody]

I believe the race has started. Who is ahead? Where do I go to find out?

--Fred

PS: I want to apologize for getting all selfish and pouty, yesterday.

No apology needed ...

Here is the link to the challenge! No stats yet - probably updated once every 24 hours.

 

[petrusbroder]

The challenge is started since approx. 8½ hours. The stats are updated once a day (around midnight UTC). The first results will be out (or in ) in about 17 hours.
There are 44 teams in the challenge ... lets see how the crunching does. :thumbsup:

Switched over to WCG last night. No points yet - waiting for "authentication"

[Philippart]

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ALL JOIN THE RIGHT TEAM!

TeAm AnandTech is the one to join, we don't support the team "anandtech" anymore!

 

[BlackMountainCow]

I put all I got on WCG by now but I'm still draining some remaining Docking WUs.

 

[petrusbroder]

Good to see you around, Christian!
It is the long run which counts in this race!

 

[IJump]

All of my BOINC computers should be switching to WCG tonight...

 

[Rudy Toody]

I have a dozen cores processing WCG Nutritious Rice as we speak. Or is that: as we read/write?

These same cores are also processing some SIMAP for a couple of days.

 

[caferace]

And I have 13 cores on. Ten of them fast, three of them dog-slow.
