QuantumFIRE Alpha

[Bok]

New Project based at Cambridge University in England

[/URL][url]http://cah.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/ (http://cah.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/index.php)

Registration is open for about 2000 users initially. Stats are available and I've added (http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=proj&proj=qfi) them already though the xml files are actually empty right now :)

Project Administrator seems pretty responsive so far, fixing up a number of the usual issues very quickly.

I have a few wu's running right now, initial estimates are around 24hours per wu..

I turned up the heat on this one this morning. I like the long running WUs with small downloads. It makes a lot of difference on my network. The credit is fairly good too.:thumbs:

Let's just nobody comes along with a garage full of boxes to break it.:D

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Ups the power grid requirements for someone's block.

Well I can tell you that the transformer for my house is Buzzzzzzzzing vary loud

[Bigred]

From what I see here (http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=proj&proj=qfi) we should hit #1 in about two days.

[Bok]

Congrats on taking #1 overall Lauren!

[LAURENU2]

:schweet::welcome::roadkill:
I guess that says it all

[outlnder]

Not so fast, Lauren. Ars Technica is coming up fast!:geezer::gone::neener:

[Bigred]

Not so fast, Lauren. Ars Technica is coming up fast!:geezer::gone::neener:

That's a good one.:lmao::lmao::evillaugh::rotfl:

OH they must want to say Good Bye before we are out of range
Good Bye

[LAURENU2]

Outlander must think he is a one man:guntotin: Team :thumbs:

[outlnder]

Just a wandering minstral in the forest of PCs.

Will be gone for 56 hours because of 2 challenges at PrimeGrid. Lauren, why don't you come join in the fun for a day or two??:Pokes:

[LAURENU2]

From what I read it started all most 8 Hrs ago
It takes me almost 3 days to change over to a new Project
:idea:So I Guess Ill have to pass this time. :hiya: I did do 1 Node tho
:jester: _And Why would you want to be run over by my :train:
any way ? Remember I am behind you . I wonder :whip: <-->:lmao:

[outlnder]

I just Suspend all tasks I was doing at the time the challenge begins. Then afterward, I just Resume them. No harm, no foul. Everybody happy.

[LAURENU2]

This project QuantumFIRE Alpha seems to be ready :guntotin:
to go past Alpha and into the real time
And it plays Nice with other projects Too
I give it a :thumbs:

[LAURENU2]

:woot::woot::woot::woot:
:woot:And Free-DC got to 1.5 Mil :woot:
I guess we won't need these :roadkill:for a little while

[Paratima]

Congrats, Lauren & rest of us, too. :guntotin:

[Bigred]

The last time I looked (http://cah.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/top_teams.php?sort_by=total_credit) we were about 900,000 ahead of the closest team.
:stomp:

[Paratima]

Yeah, it LOOKS good, but ya can't go sitting on your laurels, whatever they are. Probably uncomfortable, anyway. :p

[LAURENU2]

Ha Ha :lmao: I resemble that remark :rotfl:

[outlnder]

I'm baaaack. At least until Sztaki repairs itself.

[LAURENU2]

ARS-outlnder
Well at least if you were on this team you would team members working with you
What happened to your team?
Do you want Me to go Poke them :guntotin::Pokes::guntotin:
I haven't done a good poke in a long while It Would be fun
And you know I am a good poker ask My wife :slap:

[outlnder]

Poke away, my friend. But beware, a poked ars is a mean ars.

[Bigred]

Poke away, my friend. But beware, a poked ars is a mean ars.

:rotfl:

Poke away Lauren.http://bestsmileys.com/poking/3.gif

Maybe they will declare war.http://bestsmileys.com/army/4.gif

Then we would have to crank it up to 100%.http://bestsmileys.com/evil/3.gifhttp://bestsmileys.com/shooting1/17.gif

[LAURENU2]

Poke away, my friend. But beware, a poked ars is a mean ars.

I can see why you are the only one working this project outlnder
there is not even a thread about QuantumFIRE Alpha in the ARS forum
:idea:outlnder are you trying to keep this all to your self
to get a commanding lead over your team mates:evil:

[outlnder]

I'm just hangin' out untill Sztaki starts up again. And since it is back up, I'm off to new heights.

You guys enjoy your first place.

[Paratima]

Ha Ha :lmao: I resemble that remark :rotfl:

I figured you wouldn't let that one get by. :D

[outlnder]

I just wanted to say "thank you" to all Free-DC'ers that are doing such a great job in testing this project. You guys are really great. Keep up the good work.

From all of us here at Ars Technica- THANKS

:allhail:

[LAURENU2]

I just like trying to brake things :bonk:
Mother use to called me a devil child :firedevil:
Because I took every thing apart :hair:

[LAURENU2]

I figured you wouldn't let that one get by. :D
Paratima you Know I let vary little get by me once I get going
:train::train::train::train:

[Paratima]

Paratima you Know I let vary little get by me once I get going
:train::train::train::train:

:rotfl: Yes, Lauren, I think we've ALL noticed that. :D You da man!

By the way, does it really take three days to re-aim your fleet?

[LAURENU2]

:rotfl: Yes, Lauren, I think we've ALL noticed that. :D You da man!

By the way, does it really take three days to re-aim your fleet?

:umm:Sad but true :hair: Yes if it is a new project I have to log onto each node (60+)
and attach each node to the project :trash:
And with my life I only have little chunks of time to do tasks here so it adds up

[Paratima]

Wow! Impressive, to say the least.

Well, we're sure glad you're so dedicated. You sure do crunch a bunch! :p

Why not use BAM?

[LAURENU2]

Why not use BAM?
Because I have more computers the brains :bang:
Never was able to get it to work right :cry:

[LAURENU2]

The last time I looked (http://cah.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/top_teams.php?sort_by=total_credit) we were about 900,000 ahead of the closest team.
:stomp:

LQQK Again:Pokes: Now were all most 2 Mil ahead of the closest team:lmao:

[Bigred]

Well, unfortunately today is the start of my summer slow down. I walked into the shop this morning and it was 36 degrees celcius(97f).:bang: I don't want to have setup the air conditioners yet. So almost all of my CPU processing will stop for the summer. Hopefully it won't get to the point that I have to start shutting down GPUs. Ok lauren here is your chance to catch up.

[LAURENU2]

Well at least you have AC I just push them till they auto shutdown or die :firedevil:

[Paratima]

Well at least you have AC I just push them till they auto shutdown or die :firedevil:

:jester: Thinning the herd? Darwin would be proud! ;)

[LAURENU2]

The Power supply is the weakest link :bang:

The trick to working in 85 + temp is lots of air movement
I exhaust close to 3000 cubic feet per min.
At that rate I replace all the air in the entire Garage every 2.5 min
50 Nodes stacked on Racks in a 8X8X8 room produces a LOT of heat :firedevil:

[vaughan]

The trick to working in 85 + temp is lots of air movement

The side effect of that is the fans make lots of white noise so you cannot work in the same room as all the computers. I got a 6.8KW air conditioner installed in my server room and it brought the temps from a max of 40C to the current setting of 24C. I can go lower but don't want to max out the air con.

Bring on Winter :D

[LAURENU2]

Well your right about the noise But thats why I Don't live in my Garage:lmao:
And another thing you must consider is the EM field produced by that many power supply's
It wipes out my van radio from 30 feet away
It can Not be good for you to work or live in a EM Field :hair: makes your hair fall out :lmao:
Hopefully I to will get AC by the time real Hot temps come

[Paratima]

So much for outlndr! :stomp:

Bigred, you're next. :p

On my way to my first million since EON!

[LAURENU2]

Go Paratima Go

[Paratima]

Hey, there's just been a couple of us struggling to hold off Ars! Looks as if they've lost interest again. It comes & goes. :cool:
