But then we will have mod presence in DC, and they might actually delete a certain thread...

 

[petrusbroder]

I'll devote some time to this: PM the mods, propose some wording, start a new thread later today, etc. etc.
Please look around after 22:00 UTC on the forum ...

Hark, hark!
TA has outproduced Free-DC in the last 24 hours. This is a first for the passed months!
The difference between the teams is just now - according to Free-DC's own stats 933 235 Mpts (Free-DC Data updated : 2007-03-09 00:53:15 CDT).
Lets crunch some more! :thumbsup:

I'm glad TAS picked up DPAD when we did...

 

[Wolfsraider]

Great Job everyone nice to see anandtech kicking butt and outcrunching the threat

:beer:

Thanks for that ,but was that really a recruiting thread we posted in the other forums!? ,if so man that is w-a-y too long!:Q ,people will take one look at that & hit 'back'! ,especially the casually interested newbie.

I was thinking along the lines of few lines or so per project!

And then if their interested we can point them to the welcome thread (which looks very similiar to what you've posted their) ,which has any extra info they need.

Here's what I had in mind for DPAD & SETI

DPAD - Distributed Particle Accelerator Design
Help design a new particle accelerator ,its aim will be to fire beams of neutrinos through the Earth's interior to detector stations on different continents.
They're doing this to measure whether they change type en route (there are 3 types of neutrino) and data from this in turn will allow them to determine the neutrino's mass more accurately , its mass will influence such things as the evolution of the universe and the exact way matter was first formed in the 'big bang'.

SETI - Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
Scan through pre-recorded chunks of radio background noise to search for signs of alien life.

(SETI was much easier to keep short )

Hey Petrus
I see your 2nd in the PhaseRotD stats today


I wonder if I could get my ole mate Darkone to crunch for us again (he used to be big in SETI in the early days ,oldies might remember).
Bah then again he'd probably just be too chicken ,wouldn't want to get shown up by me staying ahead

Two old crunchers back on line. Needed a new quiet HS/fan combo for one (had a YSTech 30,000 rpm screamer on it).
I've got three more to get hooked back up next week. These are in my cubicle at work, kind of at the end of the office, so if they're too noisy I'll be told to silence them the low power way. Sneaker net with weekly dumps to flash drive, though.

edit - if anyone wants a PAL6035 Alpha with its YS Tech fan, it could be yours for the shipping costs. I'm never using it again. I like big fans and I cannot lie.

edit 3/12 - added another; AMD XP 2100, my son's old "dead" computer that didn't stay dead long once I got hold of it. My cubicle has a bit of fan noise now. I'll just call it white noise.

Forgot to mention that 3700 I built ,I recruited it for DPAD ,she has the rig back now but has agreed to leave it running (I'll have to sneaker net too though for a while)

Excellent, all!

It looks like the Free-DC stats for DPAD are being held hostage *. Possible diversionary tactic, so keep your eyes peeled for a sneak attack.

Recruitment thread proposal posted - please give feed back in that thread!

This ain't a scene, it's a --- damn arms race! (Radio edit)

 

[petrusbroder]

Yupp, it is.

 

[Amaroque]

You guys should like my output, when the stats come online. I just dumped about 30 Mbytes of results.txt files. I don't know how much credit that will be, but it will be alot... I also just got the 5.6GHz AX2 over here. It needs some TLC, but nothing major.

 

[caferace]

NICE dump!

-jim

 

[Amaroque]

I brought everything over to my house. I could put about another 20 GHz online (excluding the X2 @ 2.8), but I need basic AGP vid cards, and small HDD's (I have the MB's, RAM, and CPU's).

I would run them on a bench with no cases in my basement. Anyone willing to donate some parts?

 

[petrusbroder]

Thanks for the nice dump, Amaroque!.

You'll get a PM in a minute or two!

Edit: You got PM, Amaroque!

Hellofadump Amaroque

 

[petrusbroder]

What would the difference be without it?
Now the difference is just below 3 million Mpts ...

We need more crunchers, CPUs, cores ...

I'll assimilate one more later today.

 

[BlackMountainCow]

Sorry Amaroque, no spare parts on my end

Would it be worth it for me to throw together this PIII system I have lying around? I just need to find a case, as it has everything else. It is a coppermine currently overclocked from 550 to ~630. I put a really nice Athlon cooler on it, so I can probably get a few hundred more, if the board is up to it. I also need to get some DDR RAM for a Celeron D @3.06 or bump my main system down to 1.5GB

But those are the most complete systems I have right now that are worth running (maybe a 550 MHz Athlon? Currently has Linux though)

I have some video cards, no HDD. (Will a VooDoo 5 work? YGPM.)

 

[BlackMountainCow]

Yes, the PIII is worth the effort. I got a PIII 600 crunching DPAD and every 1.3 - 1.5 days it sends in results, usually worth between 8,000 and 10,000 creds.

 

[Assimilator1]

Amaroque
30MB!? that should be a nice dump

Btw re spare parts ,what country are you in?
I've got some spare PCI & maybe 1 AGP card + a small HDD.

 

[Amaroque]

I'm in Chicago Illinois USA.

For how long are you going to be taking parts? I've got boxes and boxes of stuff in storage. And I won't be able to have my crack racks crunching again for some time, so I'd be glad to donate some stuff.

EDIT: The stuff is out at storage, and I'm not sure when I'll be getting out that way next. Definitely by the end of the month though.

 

[JonB]

I've got six perfectly good (but small, slow and noisy) Quantum Bigfoot drives. The big, 5.25" magnesium cased jobs.
If someone crunching for TA needs them, they could be yours for the cost of shipping. I'm tired of looking at them, though I have them arranged tastefully like sculpture at work.
