Technical News and SETI@home daily stats for 11.12.2007.

The Geese Fly West (Dec 10 2007)

We had another batch of "fast" workunits this weekend. No big deal, except we did run out of a ready-to-send queue for a while there. To help alleviate panic I added a couple items to the server status page for your (and our) diagnostic pleasure: count of results returned over the past hour, and their average "turnround" time (i.e. "wall" time between workunit download and its result upload). It seems the current "normal" average is about 60 hours, during the weekend we were as low as 30. It would be be more meaningful to have median instead of average (as there are always slow computers that turnaround mere seconds before the deadline, thus skewing the averages), but mysql doesn't have a "median" function and it's not really worth implementing one of our own - we have so many other fish to fry.

Our air conditioner tech was in today to wrap up work on fixing the current (and hopefully last) coolant leak. No real news there, except it was fun to see our temperatures shoot up 6 degrees Celsius within a few minutes as the air conditioner was temporarily turned off.

I'm about to start the latest donation drive. This will wreak havoc on a few of our isolated servers which are dedicated for such large mass mailings. Hopefully this will happen without incident - people are understandably sensitive about what they perceive as spam.

Appart for Anandtech's stats, it shows how much more/less than Anandtech.
Also shows based on Average Work Done how many days for Anandtech to overtake the team, or be overtaken by a team behind...

Output nearly back to normal post race levels
Hey we passed UE! when did we do that?

I think I might donate again ,the thing that puzzles me is wasn't S@H once sponsored by some firms? aren't they still?

Thx RD:thumbsup:

 

[bryanW1995]

we passed UE today! we're up to 17, the highest we've been in a while. the way things are going we'll pass 2 and get passed by 2 in the next year, too.

Thanks for the info and stats, Rattledagger!

The King's Gauntlet Race has had some really nice effects - our production is up by some 50 000 credits compared to before the race.
It will take time to pass BOINC.Italy and Ars Technica ... and Ars T. has a tendency to drum up support when needed ... so we should produce more ...

Awesome! congrats on great MM

We need to quietly sneak pass Ars Tech
