Today's Numbers: Get 'Em While They're Hot!

Wow.. 9 million is awesome!
BTW, just a heads-up: One of my network switches died, so until I can get it replaced, half my farm is crunching into cache. I won't be home until Sunday either, so seize the chance to score some pie! :D

That's no excuse! Get someone over there with a 100ft cat5 line!:rofl:

I'd send him a switch, or heck the 100ft line, but that wouldn't do much good since he's across the pond. Would take forever to get to him. Not to mention the cost.

We need a definative answer to the "what color is number 9" ... graphemes please report in <j/k>

"many synesthetes themselves do not perceive their synesthetic experiences as a handicap. To the contrary, most report it as a gift—an additional "hidden" sense—something they would not want to miss"

perhaps we could use the most common number/ color scale amongst grapheme perception as our scale. :shrug:

HMM...9 million..What color to use?....:idea:

Have you used magenta yet?

I like magenta. Or as I call it -- pink! :p:

Real nice of you guys, but don't worry - all my machines have at least a 5 day cache, so no work will be lost.

Hell no... my poor eyes :sofa:

There is a pink too. But you can hardly see it. Magenta shows up better on a white background. Pink/magenta is also the official color of breast cancer research.

These are the color choices available.

Wow, last time I checked in here we were slowly grasping our hand up on the ledge of 6 million. :toast: to 9 million.

Why yes! I am very glad you asked, that is my vote for 9 million ppd color. :D

Sure, lets do majenta, besides, we won't be there long..:p:

any bets on how long we sit at 9mil? I got 2 days. Today and tomorrow.

Tricky question ... my guess is that most people who have done the *early join* for the challenge have already signed up. I'll go with one day (tonight's numbers at 9m) and I hope we break through to 10m the night after when the new crunchers' WUs start to flush through validation.

Monday night we'll break 10 million..
I had a vision..:rofl:

Not that I know of but I'll bite, why do you ask?


(grips hammer firmly)

Today we are averaging around 336,000 BOINC points every six hours. That's about 2.35 WCG million points. If that pace continues, we should hit around 9.4 million.

Now excuse me, if your going to do this you got to do it right, like this:

XtremeSystems: 9,412,824
and then a :woot:

Woohoo!!!!

9,412,824



Edit: I see ... go on then .... play silly buggers with my colour scheme :D



ps. 35th highest producer over the last 24 hrs :cool:

Not bad for 3 measly rigs :up:
NOW WE AGREED ON mAGENTA AND COLOR IS IMPORTANT!:up:

Holy pink pointage batman :eek: over 9 mil, that is awesome!!!!! :up:

Calls for a party! :party:

Wish I had a beer to celebrate with :lol2:

Now a second to say Thanks to all of you for your hard work!:clap:

a last thought: I wish Loonym was here to see this.

So... is it going to be 10million tomorrow?

2ch WE ARE ON OUR WAY

I'm gonna add three more machines to my group for the weekend, will have six machines crunching.

Is there a verdict on what 10mil is? If not we need one soon. :up:

I just brought 2 old s754 A64 rigs online :rofl: They may do what... 1000 PPD? if that? :p:

Red!

To get 10 million we will need to average just over 357,000 BOINC points every six hours. Should get a better idea by midday tomorrow.

I wanna see REDpeople get on it!

Congratz to every XS Cruncher for the 9.4 Million :D now on the way to 10 ;)

I recognized your name from 9lives forum :)
And I knew you were from the same town as me.

Mondays are always good. 10 mil or bust I say! :up:

10 mill will be nice in Maroon :)

Well my overclock must have been really unstable :shocked: I'm now at just 3ghz (from 3.2) and am pulling 200-300 more PPD.

Awe so close to 10 I can taste it! Nice going guys.

Looks like MM prediction or as he likes to call it his "vision" will be right:up:...Monday Monday Monday!:wtf:

Knocking on 10s door... :up:

Congratulation everyone.

We need 116,000 more points/day. That's around seven overclocked quad-cores. I think we can find that.:)

AMD 940 and Intel i7-920 C0 will be added by the morning..Ok, thats two and should take care of 45K of that 116K needed.:up:

Was going to wait for the competition but just cranked up an i7 also :)

thats three!:up:

Someone just gave me a couple old boards/CPUs/RAM of various sorts. Socket A stuff, mostly - wonder how it will do? :D There is one s775 board in there, with a CPU and heatsink, wonder what it is....

If you need some DDR2 just let me know I'll send ya some :)

Socket A is more likely to want DDR than DDR2. The 775 might want it though.

Tried to put boinc on dads Q6600 rig I built him today with win 7 32bit, kept getting some error message, not associated with a machine or client or something. I never could get it to do anything as far as trying to attach it to a project... :shrug:

I just convinced 2 of my friends to join. They will run it on their laptops. Does it count as a quad?:D

i started full throttle my 930 4.1ghz NO ht, i was going to wait for May 1 but I wanted to get us to 10m! Also turned on my c2d 2.16ghz and opteron single core 2.2ghz full speed yesterday.

Thanks.:) Appreciate your help.

As soon as I can get my E2140 to produce video its going up >.>

So I think I'm throwing down for a netbook this week. I need something to carry around and surf on whats the best for crunching? :D

Well the board is an intel D101GGC which takes DDR. It has a P-D 805 in it right now. Not sure if the board actually will support that chip or not, the VRM looks a little wimpy for that. *edit* Specs on intel's site say yes, but I'd be concerned doing 24/7 100% load for an extended period of time!

Eh, I'll fire it up tomorrow evening and see what happens :D

Are the points here communicated as WCG points or BOINC points?

Yesterday I received credit for 100,000 WCG points worth of WUs. It represents 700 hours of CPU time. :yepp: 28C/32T Some credit goes to my brother who is helping me during the point drive.

Most of the points listed in this thread are WCG.

I was checking the team stats. We had a big surge in the final six hours - 364,436 BOINC points or 2,551,000 WCG. We need to average around 358,000 BOINC points every six hours to reach the 10 million mark.

I did around 440k yesterday - due to my broken switch and the resulting cache dump. I could get used to these kinda numbers though.

Tomorrow we'll hit the big 10, I know it!

Haha! It's been a long standing internet name that I came up with, with a friend :ROTF:

Oh and a quick question I have a q6600 crunching here, it's sitting at 3.4ghz and has been working straight for 3 days and I think the temps have plateaued at just under 60C.... More overclocking :hehe:?

Started bringing my machines online yesterday evening and a few more will go hot today... should be adding an E6600 within a week or so.

Thanks for joining.:)

I have a good feeling about today. I'm seeing red.:D;)

Fixed! and ME too!:up:

did we discuss what color 11 is ... cause I think we might need that for tomorrow :shocked:
(immediately cracking up thinking of Spinal Tap ... "turn it up to 11")

I am so happy we are hitting these great numbers!! :D On April 28 I will turn on another 8core machine for the cause. I would turn it on now but money is tight. I have been walking around at night with a candle to save some $$$ on electricity :rofl: :ROTF: But I do keep a couple computers running in the basement for the WCG cause :up:

Oh my God, I can't wait for today's numbers:up:

XtremeSystems 10,511,565

BINGO!
:up::up::up::up::up::up::up::up::up::up:

:shocked::shocked::shocked::up::up::up::up::up::up ::up::up::hump::hump::hump::hump::wierd::eleph: :toast2:

And half way to 11!

Way to go, team!:)

haha if somone could sell me 2x sossaman proc and ram for cheap, i could have more points for 1-8th :D

too poor to buy it all tho lol..

TOTALLY awesome... words cannot describe.... :shocked:

Holy shizits!

HOLY COW!!! I didn't expect it to be that high. Looks like 11 mil will be a breeze as well.

Finally!

Finally? This team is still winding up!

Holy crap that is awesome. GREAT WORK EVERYONE! :clap::clap::clap:
Now let's keep rolling :cool:

It means the team returned (ok, had validated) ten and a half MILLION points (and change) worth of work in the last 24 hours.
