Yeah, just write out the results by hand and mail them in. Include a self addressed stamped envelope if you want the points back though.Quote:

Maybe, but my way provide a greater sense of accomplishment. Using the internet and USB thingies to do stuff is for nerds.Quote:

Looks like I will have to turn another computer on to reclaim my position :)
Sorry, there's no "sneaker-net" for BOINC. Each machine has to be connected to the internet to upload and download, though it can be disconnected while it's crunching.Quote:

I am falling from top100 RAC like a stone, time to fire up more heavy artillery :yepp:
How often does the image update? The rate of change confuses me, as it only shows 250ish when it should be in the multiple thousands if its a daily update?
This is Boinc stats for WCG only. Also keep in mind that boinc points are 1/7th wcg points. It updates twice a day for what you see here.Quote:

Well I reached easily top 1000 during the Supercomputer Week :)
As I'm new here, I have noob question: what does "Rank for this date" mean in the Free-DC user stats? It still keeps getting better even though I hardly crunch anymore. It says #8 now, but that can't be #8 within XS no?
That means you are at #8 of everyone that joined WCG on the same day as you.
EDIT: When you look at it here: http://boincstats.com/stats/user_sta...8674&co=&date=
You can click the link for the join date and see how joined that date and see how you are doing compared to the others/
WooHoo! Finally got off the bottom page of the list... :up:
Ranked @#889 right now. I've left one machine as a dedicated cruncher since SCW, as well as letting the main rig run when I'm on the internet.
I'll let it run the rest of the month and see where my utility bill falls.
I've actually been moving up the list pretty quickly....
It makes me happy. :yepp:
Daveburt; you'll start chewing through the people that arn't crunching anymore :D
It feels good to climb the ladder. It's like personal challenges every step of the way.
Does anyone know why the chart isn't working in the first post?
I'm a WCG noob, and I liked looking at it to get an idea of how I was doing... :(
Maybe someone could offer a link for the info. :shrug:
Not sure what's up with the chart, but you can look up your own stats. I like using the BOINCstats site. Search for your name.Quote:

But my rank on the boinc and wcg stats keeps going up.
That means an awful lot of people stopped running boinc after SCW.
That is sad.
A lot of people I know keep saying that they wish they could do more to help make the world a better place. But I when I bring up WCG/F@H/etc. they can't be convinced to join.
So here is my idea, Could XS start a "Donate your Cycles to WCG for the Holidays"?
Maybe convince a couple vendors to put some items up as prizes, and then count WCG WU's turned in as raffle entries for the prizes?
Just an idea to give more people incentive to do a good thing for what amounts to almost no personal effort besides installing the client and joining the team.
Woohoo! #200
7 mil WCG
1 mil BOINC
oh yea! #100!

Got two pc's up and running need to swap mobo's after the weekend then i`ll look into the gpugrid.
All my pcs do all day is download and run X3tc in the background :P when i'm not at home.
Can anyone tell me how to get a nice sig with stats posting ^^
After the weekend swapping DFI mobo for Asus mobo, installing watercooling...and my case so it wil fitt 2 240MM rads.. so no numbers crunching on this pc but a good thing i have a back-up :P,
if someone has an idea of how to mod 2 240 mm rads in a coolermaster stacker 832... XD
gonna be hard to find a better sig than the one you gotQuote:

Woot! 2 years 2 days to move into 50th in team ranking. Not bad for part time crunching on a team like XS. :yepp: Today was a personal best @ 420,042. :D If only I could afford to run like this 24/7 365, I'd be doing some taunting. :rofl: I've been blessed to have gotten this far. :) 1800 KWH per month just isn't in my future. :(
Good job, man! You're an inspiration to the rest of us. Just over 18 months for me and in the top 100. :woot:
Looks like you guys are in a hurry. I'm taking it easy. 4.5 years for me now and still not in the top 100.:ROTF:
Just peeked in at 200th in a little over a year. I feel proud today :)
Congrats, Bluestang!

I hit number 90 in team rank for total BOINC output. Feels awesome! Seems like it took forever to just get past Mystic Merlin.
I just need to keep SMTB1963 at bay to maintain my number #1 position on sign-up date:

how do i get my name in that list?

You are on the list, 189 is your team rank and 106 is rac rank. :up:

Of course that was a lot more difficult for MM :sofa:
Nah, birth year is 52 and #19 on the team...and you better hide you smart arse! :DQuote:

TRN going to overtake the #1 spot, really well done man! :clap:
Is it possible a 3570k@4Ghz has 27460 points with 41 results at its best day and a 3770k@3.82Ghz has only 32536 points with 43 results?
From time to time things on a particular machine get a bit out of step. You have to remember that part of the way that points are awarded has to do with the figures generated by the benchmarking.
These are used by a machine to calculate points claimed. Some projects give points claimed rather than the more normal average between the machines that validated the WU.
Apart from me choosing which project to run on my 2600K @ 4.7 I have not used any other tricks but if it is in the chart today you will see it is claiming very high these past few weeks. I am not complaining because my windows 3770K does the opposite (to a lesser degree).
http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?p...hostid=2116189
http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?p...hostid=1553316
Remember too that points on a particular day may include a bunch that move from being pending to validated but were completed on previous days
Can you say Bun-Bun steamroller 10x fast :rofl:

That is awesome !!!! :yepp:
Way to go WFO :up:
I am waiting to get membership to this club :D
Gratz WFO! I also hit over 1mil WCG today. :D
Thanks Toolius! :)

I just upped my 7950 to 1100 Mhz core clock :up:
I have a question: I am planning on getting a 7950 or 7970 for my main computer, but I want to know if you get any lag when running WCG on your card while using the computer.Quote:

Are you able to watch youtube, scroll fluently etc without it stuttering with that 7950 while running WCG?
Day to day usage its not a smooth as when not crunching but it is still very good. I still watch video's and do my day to day stuff with the card(s) going. I only suspend them when gaming.
Stay away from Nvidia cards for this, they can't take it. System goes to an unbearable crawl.
I noticed a stutter when using a 460GTX but it was livable.Quote:
Originally Posted by Bun-Bun
Best way to say it is the AMD based cards are better but nVidia is also ok. No stuttering with my 5870 card unless I'm playing a video but you always have the option in sys tray to "Snooze GPU"
GTX400 series seem to be fairing better than the 500 and 600 series. Both my GTX560 and GTX670 the computer is not usable while crunching.
I had my 460GTX in my daily driver for the first week of GPU computing then got smart and moved it to a dedicated cruncher downstairs and dropped in the 5870 here and much happierQuote:

That system has a lot of overhead should handle it just fine.

A big thank you to Movieman for the SC Week email to remind me to get my tail in gear, and all the great people that are putting up the information about the GPU bits and how to get the most out of it! :up:
Wooohooooo. Number 20 on the list.
This 7970 does some great work!
http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/...GppdHD7970.png
One quick question, is it safe to fold 24/7 on my 3770k at 4.8ghz-1.36v-50-54c max? Or shall i drop my vcore at 1.3v or less no matter the temps?
I think you'll be fine, just be sure to watch for instability. Even though you may not crash you should check your WCG "Results" for Invalid and Error.
I would say you are good. My rig has done that no problem. Those temps being low will help.
Others may disagree and this will not be an efficient setup for power use. For that you probably need to drop to 4.6 or 4.5 which will put you in the 1.2x volts range probably
Safe? Yes. Well... at least I wouldn't think twice about it.Quote:
Originally Posted by ChaosAD

I always check for instability before invalid/error results through WHEA errors.Quote:
