Some more votes before midnight?

Still the same result. Any more votes? 6 more minutes ...

 

[petrusbroder]

OK, the poll is closed.
The results above stand. 2/3 majority for switching projects ...

Thus TAS switches projects from NanoHive@home to DPAD.

Lets finish/empty the WUs for NanoHive, install DPAD and crunch!!!!

I'll do the Nanohive-stats later today (it is Sunday ...)

Good night!

 

[petrusbroder]

Jim, your first Mpts are in:

182. [TA]caferace ______ 483.0

Well done.

I have collected all the data for the first stats in DPAD.

Lets get rolling!

 

[caferace]

Thanks for all your efforts, Peter. Consider this cat herded.

Now, just to make clear, DPAD will also be March's project or will that be another vote?

 

[BlackMountainCow]

hehe, no if that ain't a concidence:

We've uploaded a new client application to NanoHive@Home (NHAH) - NHAH_QSMAKAS version 5.06. This version fixes the bug that popped up an error dialog which blocked the BOINC Manager until the dialog was closed. The progress calculation has also been adjusted so that WUs won't reach, and stay at 99.99% complete for hours. We've also reset everybody's maximum results per day to 50.

We recommend currently active participants to Reset the project once their current WU completes to get the new client application. If you've Suspended NHAH because of the error dialog pop-up bug, please Reset then Resume the project.

Well, we know that he listens to the crunchers.
But the crashing application was only one reason for the switch ... the credit inflation and the massive "pending credits" were two ther reassons (at least for me ... )

 

[BlackMountainCow]

Looks like nothing has changed in the first place:

PoorBoy: Still getting the Pop Up Error with the new v5.06 Application. When I woke up this morning I had 3 PC's with the Error showing ... !!!

Nflight: I too am showing continuing Errors with the version 5.06

Oh well, time for a change ...

 

[petrusbroder]

Here are the current and preliminary final stats for NanoHive@Home.

The stats look really good - for being just 18 days of crunching, don't you agree?

 

[Silverthorne]

Thanks for the stats petrusbroder. I think the change to Dpad will be good, we need to give this project a real boost.

 

[caferace]

What should I use at DCR as the username (or ID?) for statstool config for DPAD? [TA]caferace. caferace or ?

My points showed up under the TeAm sTAtS:

http://stats.free-dc.org/new/teamstats....am+Anandtech&orderby=d0&direction=DESC

But not in my DCR stats.

[Ken g6]

It seems to be a number. Yours is 9263. Point to your name in the TeAm stats to see it.

 

[caferace]

You 'da Man, Ken! Thanks!!

How's life at ABC these days? Built up an insurmountable lead yet.

-jim

 

[petrusbroder]

Here are the starting stats for DPAD - The February-March project for TAS!

Free-DC needs only a dew days to catch up - so lets get crunching!

I guess that depends on who's trying to surmount it. I've already done twice as much as you have.

With no support, I think I'll stop or slow ABC for awhile in about a week, once we pass the "GOERLITZ CRUNCHING ALLIANCE".

 

[caferace]

I'd like to hit ABC in the future, but most TAS people tend to shy away from pure "math" projects. Not that all of DC is not pure math, mind you.

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

I don't know what it is about DPAD, but I love it. Hmm. I need to find a place to put the laptop so it can crunch too....

 

[petrusbroder]

Since February 18, 00:00 UTC, TAS has produced 753 964.0 Mpts - not too shabby for 46 hours of work ...

Please get more cores, computers and vod-cows working! We need the revenue = Mpts!

 

[petrusbroder]

Congrats to a TAS-member: Lizardth :sun:

One of the - AFAIK - young ladies in DC and in TAS.

 

[petrusbroder]

Since February 18, 00:00 UTC, TAS has produced 1 328 200.1 Mpts. Good production in not quite three days (stats were current 20:07 UTC).

That is 19 532 Mpts/hour - for TAS only! :beer:

Some more cores or comps, please?

Johan, have you added your TAS-comps to DPAD? If not, please do so! The crunching power is needed!

 

[BlackMountainCow]

Some tools ya'll might find helpful:

:thumbsup:

 

[petrusbroder]

Those are great tools for DPAD - I like the MC better though ...

 

[BlackMountainCow]

MC is fine with multiple PCs on a network, but for a single PCs you want to know the creds of, MRV will do the job just fine.
