May 1st is almost here. Time to throw every machine you have into WCG. As many of you know, the whole purpose of this one-week event is to show the computational power of XS. But the people who benefit the most are the researchers.
In the past two weeks, hundreds of you have become members of the team. Thanks to your efforts, our daily point production has increased by more than 70%. We are closing in on the #2 team, Easynews.
There is a reason why this forum is called XtremeSystems. Even though we are pitted against corporate and university teams with huge resources at their disposal, we beat them on a daily basis, and often beat them badly. I recall the story of an Intel executive who was told where our team ranks in WCG. The executive's jaw dropped. She couldn't understand how a team composed of a relatively small group of enthusiasts could be ranked so high. I think we've always looked upon ourselves as David taking on Goliath.
Once again, thank you for your help. And my hope is that many of you will keep crunching well beyond the first week of May. I'm obviously biased, but I feel we have the best team in the world.
