COME ON EON! COME ON!

Dude, the TV can't hear you!!

Now technically we're not in the #1 spot in Prime Grid. But if my pending creds matches Peters and amd.borg we certainly are.

Watching the PG numbers go up is less exciting than watching grass grow right now...

Yikes! We've got a tie!

We need another vote to break it

We got a tied vote ...

1 vote_ - Chronos
4 votes - µFluid
4 votes - Rosetta@home CASP7 Challenge
2 votes - EON
1 vote_ - Pancreatic Cancer Research A United Devices Project.

The poll is still open.
If we have a tie @ 24.00 hours UTC tonight, the poll will stay open 8 more hours --- as you may remember we have a policy for the "tied-vote-problem":

You can check @ TAS: http://www.teamanandtech.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=151&view=findpost&p=1703

8. If a poll is tied the following will happen:
- the poll will be open for 8 - 12 hours longer, depending on time of day, time zones, etc.
- the members who have voted for other projects than those which are tied for the lead will be asked to indicate their preferences to the mods by PM or by posting in the appropriate thread, the mods will then modify the poll,
- if the poll is still tied after the 8 - 12 hours mentioned above, the statsmaster decides the outcome by tossing a coin three times in a coin-tossing site, e.g. at random.org. The decision reached is final.

I have less than 50 PrimeGrid-WUs in my caches - will be done with those within 10 hours or so ...
3119 credits are pending.
The difference to BOINC@Heidelberg is less than 3 000 credits - we should be able to pass before we end the month's project.

Let us end this month with a first! More! More! More!

 

[caferace]

I have about 200, but they're on slow-ish boxes. Still, we're C L O S E. My current pending is 3272.

By my count we're ~1500 away from #1.

Hi Petrusbroder!
Also high-five to the rest of you heavy crunchers!

I am not a member of your esteem group.
2 of my pc's are crunching on eOn (my main focus is f@h).
I am sure that of the 4 currently active crunchers for eOn would really welcome the help (since we slipped from 9th to 10th place a few months ago). I hate to say this, this is one broke down dog of a dc project!
Last official update from those Texans operating this hoedown was back in March, 06! Most of the time since then all one could see on either their screensaver or running cmd file under a dos screen is the dreaded "ZZZZZZZ........sleep for 60 seconds" messages that has been clogging the dc (i swear!) about 80% of no-activity time!!!

How else to explain that under my moniker of "TurtleBlue" which runs on a Pentium III 500 mhz IBM laptop the average time is 335 seconds while my "TurtleBlue1" Primo box of a P4 3.06ghz cpu (which should be kicking ass!) shows it takes 360 seconds!!!

So in my honest opinion (i'm gonna get killed for this!) I would recommend to those 2 who voted for eOn to PLEASE recosider your votes for eOn and vote "for the other guy!"

 

[caferace]

Well, there you go. Thanks for the info, TurtleBlue!

That's ok, yesterday someone at work called me by my wife's name! :Q

Goodbye old thread ...

Not quite yet, BMC:

Also in May TAS reached all of it's goals: a production of more than 250 000 credits, to help TA to get up in the ranks (from 4th rank to first!) and - above all - to have fun!

This is the second month that TAS has gone up to first place: in April in QMC@Home (where TA still holds the first place) and now in May (PrimeGrid). So: lets get to the numbers:

Here are the one-month stats for TAS' May project PrimeGrid.

In the passed 31 days TAS has produced 268 285.95 credits, that is 8 654.39 credits/day.
The RAC climbed from 3 636.01 to 4 605.12 (four weeks ago), to 6 182.67 (three week ago), to 8 310.49 (two week ago), to a astonishing 9 822.04 (+ 170%) one week ago. Then the servers at PrimeGrid broke down. We would like to think that our output got the system to the knees and the RAC dropped to 8 273.41 credits just at the end of the month.
In the month of May B]TA has produced 308 844,03 credits [/b]. TAS has produced 86.87% of these credits.


The team-stats:
Sorted according to credits:
Rank ___ Members _____ RAC ________ Credits ______ Name ______________ credits added in May[/color]
1 _______ 27 ______ 8 245.98 ___ 1 078 584.12 ___ Team Anandtech _____ (+308 844,03)
2 _______ 32 ________ 968.38 ___ 1 070 540.56 ___ BOINC@Heidelberg ___ (+ 29 338.97)
3 ______ 135 ______ 1 216.24 _____ 992 370.81 ___ BOINC Synergy ______ (+ 41 278.83)
4 ________ 3 ________ 101.23 _____ 942 624.67 ___ Team Alienware _____ (0)
5 _______ 14 ________ 422.44 _____ 384 405.21 ___ Picard _____________ (+ 21 193.90)
6 _______ 23 ______ 1 641.25 _____ 361 789.89 ___ AMD Users __________ (+ 59 694.93)

Team Anandtech @ Primegrid has produced more than twice (2.038) as many credits than the other top 5 teams together. TAS alone has produced 116 779.32 more credits than the other teams together!

Sorted according to RAC:
Rank ___ Members _____ RAC ________ Credits ______ Name
1 _______ 27 ______ 8 245.98 ___ 1 078 584.12 ___ Team Anandtech
2 _______ 23 ______ 1 641.25 _____ 361 789.89 ___ AMD Users

I am quite unhappy about PrimeGrid just now:

I have 1708 credits pending ... all WUs successfully crunched. But when checking most of the WUs have caused errors for other crunchers --- so I get no credits. It is ok for those WUs which have a quorum of 3 comuters (and 2 of them did not complete the WU). But for those WUs which only have a quorum of 2 comps (mine and one other) and my computer did complete the WU and the other did not ... I looked at quite a few and it is the same computer! Hmmmm. OK, not for all WUs - but for approximately 40%. 1708 pewnding credits is not so much --- but that is a total of 166 computer-hours of crunching (average of @ 350 seconds of crunching/credit)
