Great job Jim...you really brought some :sun:heat:sun: to the race!

I've got a glass of :wine: and I'm feeling good!

 

[biodoc]

This thread has a very high post/view ratio (77%).

Unusual?

Ok, I admit it...I'm on my 2nd glass of :wine:

 

[Markfw]

It would be nice to hit 700k, but I don't think I will make it in December.

 

[GLeeM]

Thanks for the stats, Peter

 

[Neurodog]

Thanks for the stats

I agree. It has also a very high post count - which is more unusual:
we are 33 crunchers, some few are not posting at all, but most are ...

Cheers! :wine:

 

[Markfw]

well, I now have 4 of those crappy 306x units that do almost 50% of the normal ppd on the same box ! Time to complain again about their point system ? A 3.5 ghz Q6600 only doing a little over 3k ppd vs 5k normal with the 2653 units ?

Its killing my numbers.

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Thanks for the stats Peter. On the final stats, will you be posting in this thread or making another? Just wondering, so that I can be sure to save them and archive them.

 

[GenHoth]

Man, just got back from my friends and the bars. Good lord, I love to drink!

I have not thought so deep about that yet ...

some short time passes

I'll post the stats here. I can also send a PM to you (and to those who wish so) with the stats. It is easier to archive. OTOH: this thread may be worth saving anyhow ...

I just finished a couple of those too!

Very very sloooow.

I need to go to the Standford site and try to understand the point system

I know it's there somewhere.

Well, the vets. know why I am :laugh:

When you're done, please send me a link (f@h forum scoring threads are always priceless!) I double-dog dare ya to mention to them that the point system needs a re-look.

:evil:

-Sid

(I try to go there once a year or so to purge my soul... and 'discuss' the scoring system with them')

 

[biodoc]

I lifted this from the Stanford SMP FAQ here

"How do you decide the credit value of SMP work units?

Points are determined by the performance of a given machine relative to a benchmark machine, similar to the CPU client benchmark process. Before releasing any new project (series of work units), we benchmark it on a dedicated Macintosh Pro with 2 - 2.33 GHz Dual Core Xeon processors. (more specifically, 2 Woodcrest 5140 processors with 4 MB cache (each), 5 GB FBDIMM Memory (667 MHz DDR2), 1.33 GHz Bus)

We plug the results of this benchmark test into the following formula:

points = 1760 * (daysPerWU)

where daysPerWU is the number of days it took to complete the work unit. "

On top of that I believe a 50% bonus is tacked on for SMP WUs.

I still don't understand why the point variation though? The above is MacOS but I don't see much difference in times running 1xSMP on linux vs Windows.

Cheers!

Thanks for the states Peter :thumbsup:

Either I'm not as tech savy to participate, or I'm too busy laughing to actually post ............... I won't mention any names........

But I have enjoyed the race and I learned a little bit about Vista and SMP...............

The TeAm as a whole is a great group. It is hard to believe threads go on and on without a single flame erupting.

Here is to a happy and prosperous New Year to everyone. :wine:

Thanks, I know, boring, nobody to hound me. Doing a 48 hour lan party with my sons friends, so may be out a lot.

BTW, I will be hitting 100th place IN THE WORLD for F@H in the next week or so, currently at 108.

Well, we gotta have goals....

While Mark is going for the top century, my present goal is to try and find a way to get up to 1/2 his production....
