Well, that's a huge one day drop. So I'm not sure I trust the numbers.
They're setting up a buffer, and going to go nuts in honor of.... December 11?
Wonder if it might be weather related? Lotsa folks in the midwest without go-juice.

A large power outage would have affected other teams as well, including ours. Their output began dropping on Sunday and really fell today. Very odd.
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/te...mId=1XH9Q1THP1
You could be right. Odd is right. Another project? Or did they yank their free BW?
-SS
I just looked at their website. They still offer free gigs for running WCG. I hope they weren't borging machines from a large institution that suddenly cut them off. I'll try to think positive thoughts.:D
We'll see what happens tomorrow..
Maybe a glitch somewhere and it will reverse..
they're buffering !!! watch out :eek:
Can a team like that really buffer? I mean could you get thousands of people to change settings in their PC when theyre probably only in it for free stuff, and not the DC itself.
Looks like they only got credit today for the Boinc client and not the UD client. Perhaps to help celebrate my reaching 200 million tomorrow?:D

One more quad for the cause :up:
Just got going with another quad running 9x385 with the evaluation copy of Server 2008 64 bit. I'm going to see how this does "points wise" against my other quad at 3.6 with XP 32 bit.
EDIT: Here it is in action. It's in my garage right now with about 60f ambient.

Actually, i think this is a maintenance issue with the UD server. Its affecting a bunch of teams. Not us of course. ;)
Link...
-SS
That might explain the drop. The UD maintenance period is over. So if they're numbers don't increase on Wednesday, then it's probably something else. Also, there were shorter maintenance periods last week which didn't seem to affect them that much.
That did give us a nice buffer of 3 million plus points. I wonder when the next maintenance will take place.:D Maybe I can crash their server.;)
DDTUNG:cool:
well, if all our farms made some DoS there... :rolleyes:
let's stick to fair competition, we can beat em badly without any maintenance or whatever.
For you that would not be hard to do. :ROTF:Quote:

Haven't really looked into it but from the posts it looks like 80% are excellent, 15% fair and 5% dogs..
I'm spolied I guess. The one these guys sent me is a gem.
I think in your hands it would do close to 4000 all day.
I'm just not up enough on all the settings to find that "sweet spot" so I stay at 3600..
Mr. njkid hand picked that little gem for you. :up:Quote:

It's the manner..open and honest and that is a welcome thing to see in a person over here.
Agree, honesty can be a good thing. I was loved while living there (US - Atlanta mostly but traveled a lot) because they thought I sounded like Steve Irwin. I took this as an insult, but hey, when chicks at the pub asked if I wrestled crodiles, I had to say "Yes, we do that in Junior School"...Quote:

I've got some uninterrupted time this weekend, gonna look for 3.2 or so on this thing and see if I can't coax that 3600 to 3 GHz as well... Just the time, I never have it any more...
Good Luck, time is a tough thing to get when you have kids..:DQuote:

I'm not sure I want to resist it, even though it's bedtime.

Here's a little plaque I made a long time ago..
Brazilian Mahogony with hard maple inlays..
I've got a backyard full of ash and oak. About a dozen 8 foot, 10-14" diameter logs that are seasoned plus about 3 cord of fire wood. You pay shipping.Quote:

He didn't have 3 months and asked me to do one in the shape of the carrier deck as seen from above.
When it was done he asked me how much. Told him that was my gift.
Should have seen me trying to take down that hard maple to sit flush with the mahogany.
Took hours..The maple is like brick, the mahogany is like soft butter.
Came out nice and the smile was plenty of payment.

Cruncher #2 is on the grid, which should double my output. Not quite sure why it took me so long to realize I have a perfectly good work comp that stays on 24/7.

When I close the door to the office, the temp rises about 5-7c ;-)
I just got good news: that our beloved TP S.A. (monopolistic ISP & phone operator) will most probably activate my DSL line in the parent's house, where ill be spending Christmas... so no winter break from crunching, maybe 1-2 days to move. I have ordered an internet connection from TP S.A. some... 5 months ago?!?! they are lightning fast, so are their connections.
It's not sold yet?:rofl:Quote:

I'm gonna go Spider platform. I'm just gonna stick with what I know, and put the E6600 in the kids' MSI. Oddly enough, theirs is ROCK SOLID and OCs like a dream...
I dunno, but this BadAxe is wayyyyy too temperamental for me. My RAM is good, I have a new video card, my power supply is fine, I just can't figure it out...
Well, I got another Q6600 up, and will be getting an opty165 up by the end of the week (crossing my fingers). So that's 12 C2D cores at 3.6ghz or higher, and 2 K8 cores.
That is pretty awesome :up: :up:Quote:
