The Road to the Top Ten

**LAURENU2** · 01-26-2009, 11:06 PM

Well we are on the way we should take 14th from the The Final Front Ear
That are pumping out more and more WU's but they come in spurts
I suck up all I can when they make them ready

At this rate we should take 10Th in 2 to 3 weeks

**Bok** · 01-26-2009, 11:49 PM

MindModelling is a tough one all right.. VERY short wu's, so lot's of network traffic and I found it would often wait until it finished all wu's in the cache before requesting any more for some reason, so at times there could be periods of time without any work requested....

So I'd run it at a high priority with another project at a lower priority.

**LAURENU2** · 01-27-2009, 01:27 AM

Ya But I have a secret System

**vaughan** · 01-27-2009, 06:43 AM

Plus it has long periods of network outages so you cannot report the work you've crunched.

**gopher_yarrowzoo** · 01-27-2009, 06:47 AM

That's not network outage that's them testing the "telepathic" link back.....

Thats my fault I keep melting the server

With My runs

**LAURENU2** · 01-27-2009, 11:18 PM

14th is ours

13th should Fall in 2 to 3 days

**LAURENU2** · 01-30-2009, 06:20 PM

Well 13th is ours The BOINC@Heidelberg crashed and Burned

12th is next The AMD Users should fall in a day or so

Well it has been a longggggg couple days I guess I sucked them dry of WU's
But NOW I'm filling up Again
And we should Take 12th from AMD Users tomorrow with any luck

Next

comes the Aussies #11 place BOINC@AUSTRALIA

**LAURENU2** · 02-10-2009, 10:19 AM

I think we Jumped over 12 and landed on #11
At this speed we might take #8 by tomorrow

**Petey** · 02-10-2009, 10:53 AM

#8 by tomorrow looks perfectly possible.

Even better news, none of the other teams seem to have turned out yet so we might be able to

a few more before the work runs out.

Any guesses on how long this "several weeks work" will really take to do?

Yes I would say it is a sure bet that we will have 8th This taken from there web stats
#8 Free-DC 157,590 points
As yesterday was only 12 Hr of crunching for me

And I will be in range of Bok to give him the

I promised him

We Have already completed 5.24% of the WU's in less then one day
So it will NOT be that long 2 maybe 3 weeks I think

**Petey** · 02-11-2009, 02:04 PM

WOW!

Over 100,000 workunits were crunched yesterday! There are only 885,000 left!

At this rate we could be finished in less than 10 days.

The only downside is that Lauren's output seems to have melted the stats server

they don't seem to have updated properly today!

I also noticed that IB and Kman1293 have joined in the fun - BRILLIANT!!

I reckon we are only a day away from getting #7.

**Kman1293** · 02-11-2009, 02:53 PM

Yep I've tossed one quad core on it, and I'll be tossing another one on it tomorrow

Or less if I do a full commit

I'm' Only at 75=80% right now
I was thinking of going to full burn and try to

#5

SETI.USA

in 2 days

Sorry I do have that effect sometimes

Thats what I like to see Good work TEAM

DANG-it Now where did I put that Extra Rocket Fuel

I know I hade some left over

**Petey** · 02-12-2009, 10:20 AM

And I see that pfb has joined the party

I'm starting to remember why I LUV BOINC so much:

Requesting 177918 seconds of work...got 2 new tasks

My boxes have been running out of work all day

We are going to

BOINCstats today!

**LAURENU2** · 02-12-2009, 06:48 PM

I have mine set at 9.25 days and I get like 500 WU's at a time and it only takes me about 10 Hrs to do them
Bad side is the PC only uploads every 10 Hrs
Set yours at 2 days

We missed

BOINCstats by only this much

Only 3,568 Points Behind right now

I am at full speed now with only a trickle of power going to the other projects I am working on
I think I have to hit 50K+ to come close to what is needed to take down SETI.USA By tomorrow
Hope I can

that High

**Petey** · 02-12-2009, 08:14 PM

It seems that if you change between projects a lot (as I certainly do) BOINC goes a bit senile. A few project detaches and resets and Lauren's tip seem to have sorted me out

From the stats on the site right now it looks like we have

BOINCstats.

Can we make #4 before the work runs out?

**IronBits** · 02-12-2009, 09:11 PM

We dog piling this one? Guess I'll have to give Lauren a push

Give me a few to change around my stuff...

Ok, toss me a rope Lauren and drag me along with you!!!

But, keep your eye on the LGM project while I'm helping you with this here mindmelding project...

http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?p...sah&team=30270

**IronBits** · 02-12-2009, 09:39 PM

Watch out Petey, coming through!

**IronBits** · 02-12-2009, 09:41 PM

OOOH OOOH OOOH !!!

IS THAT FROG LEGS I SEE UP THERE ?????

Someone get the barbie going

http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?p...sah&team=30270

Project rank 1312 I want to know who is responsible for letting this Happen

Well one good thing After we

SETI.USA here we can go

SETI.USA over there again

Here you go IB

**IronBits** · 02-12-2009, 11:23 PM

OUCH! Not that kind of rope!

Alrighty then /takes gloves off

See if you can keep up with me over there on SETI and hunting for LGM.

http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?p...sah&team=30270

**IronBits** · 02-13-2009, 01:30 AM

Well this is disappointing. I can't get enough work to keep my beasts fed.
Even with 5 day cache setting. /me thinks server is swamped

It's taking about 1.5 to 2.5 minutes to complete a work unit, so they are fast.

**LAURENU2** · 02-13-2009, 02:36 AM

That might be because I have been Dumping for the past few Hrs
Trying to see If I can meet my morning deadline
Must be close to 15,000 WU's that have been uploaded

See if you can keep up with me over there on SETI and hunting for LGM.

OK so what do you need a 3 week head start

**IronBits** · 02-13-2009, 03:05 AM

I'm trying to come up with a way to challenge you in some way, to keep it interesting for you, and to make you work at it.

I'm more interested in what it will take for you to match my SETI output actually...

I'm sure it will be interesting or I wouldn't bother you.

**Petey** · 02-13-2009, 03:59 AM

Watch out Petey, coming through!

Didn't even see you coming...you were just a blur

Right now I reckon we are only 3,000 points behind L'Alliance Francophone.

And Elias Roa has joined us today as well

**IronBits** · 02-13-2009, 04:17 AM

**IronBits** · 02-13-2009, 04:48 AM

As I expected, project ran out of work, or can't get any, cpus sitting idle, moving to Spinhenge@Home

**gopher_yarrowzoo** · 02-13-2009, 06:25 AM

Lauren Broke it...

**pfb** · 02-13-2009, 09:04 AM

Yep - put some %age into this for a little bit although seeing as I'm getting:

Code:

13/02/2009 1:02:33 PM|MindModeling@Beta|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.  
Requesting 380160 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks
13/02/2009 1:02:38 PM|MindModeling@Beta|Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks

Not sure useful that %age will be

**Petey** · 02-13-2009, 09:08 AM

Maybe they doing one of their 'workunit' prunes

and will be back later today

or...maybe SETI.USA gave them a few quid to stop us overtaking them

poem@home for the linux boxes and spinhenge for the windoze (spinhenge sucks on linux - 30% slower).

Oh, and Lauren and IB probably did break it after all

**LAURENU2** · 02-13-2009, 09:47 AM

Sorry guys It was a massive upload of work I did last night

I guess they were right when they say I have more GhZ then brains

IB you know I have the Power of Big Gray (big blues little brother)behind me
Not many can keep up
I was in the top 500 at seti

way back when they first started

**IronBits** · 02-13-2009, 10:40 AM

That's ok Lauren, it's a BETA setup anyways. Good test for them to see if they can handle the load.
Schweet!

The challenge, if it's not too much of a bother for you, is to find out how many cores it's going to take to match my output.
Free-DC is so far behind in this project, it wouldn't hurt to crunch a little to find LGM for Free-DC anyways.

Hint: I don't use CPUs on Seti

**LAURENU2** · 02-13-2009, 10:56 AM

OK off the store I go to get a sH!++ load of these

NVIDIA Quadro CX 1536MB GDDR3 PCIe 2.0 Graphics Card

And there on sale now to

**IronBits** · 02-13-2009, 11:02 AM

NO NO NO, that won't work!!!
And...
I want to know how many CPUs it takes to keep up with my little GPU farm!
Once this is over, I can recommend you the card(s) to get for GPU related projects.

**LAURENU2** · 02-13-2009, 11:13 AM

OK IB I put 1 Quad on seti for now

I was just playing about the card . That card is like 1500.00

**IronBits** · 02-13-2009, 11:17 AM

Cool. We can do the math after that I suppose.

**gopher_yarrowzoo** · 02-13-2009, 11:30 AM

$1,500.00 *faints* OMG would be truely awesomely funny if that card didn't act as a GPU...
