when the race end officially?

December 24

[INFRNL]

sorry fellas, I dropped the ball the past couple days as I made some changes that screwed up a lot of things. I have also been having problems with 1 machine, and now have another idle due to lack of parts, but will be selling off that machine to make up for another I just bought this weekend...long story

Keep up the great work guys

[Chris_redfield]

Its nice to see that such a huge lead has been made.

My systems were down for 24 hours the other day due to a power cut and the team is storming ahead without me.

[sierra_bound]

After 22 days

when you think about it, decrypthon really isn't that far behind. ~30 mil which is what... 4 days work for us? if we had a bad week with multiple rigs down they'd be nipping at our heels!

If you factor in that they outnumber us ten to one, then they are indeed far behind us

[skycrane]

damn, wish i had know about this race earlier, ive got about 30 cores i could have put on it

im always up for a good race even if i dont normaly contribuete

[123bob]

^^^^^

Perhaps that is why we should do more of these?

Bring those cores on anyway. We'll find something to challenge them with...

Bob

As to Decryp, we shouldn't under-estimate them. They just started up, it seems.



MakeCuresHappen should also be noticed. They have only 7 members returning work.... (Yeah, that first memebr of the team must be a doosy...3x DDTung power there....)

After 23 days. One more day to go.

That "makecureshappen" account is either a general mass account, or a supercomputer... hard to tell with hidden host(s) really.

[Someguy1982]

Pretty sure its a mass account for Nike. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=4154

I remember reading somewhere (Actually I think it's somewhere in this thread) that makecureshappen is Nike, but I'm not sure where that came from...

[lkiller123]

It probably has most of the computing power from Nike.

Challenge is over.

WE WON

[posershadow]

Nice. 32mil point lead.

[sierra_bound]

Thank you to everyone on the team. Keep on crunching!

[road-runner]

Challenge is over.

WE WON

Where is that guy from H that said we where saving our work then submitting?

[lkiller123]

We should do more of these challenges

Wonder what he's saying now!

Congrats guy!

[Ashraf]

I cannot believe I just found out about this race... It sounds so much fun! I will try to remember next time for 2010.

Huge congratulations to everyone who participated in this challenge! FUGGER has got to see this.

[CaptMorgan]

we are the da Bestest- don't you guys forget

[jcool]

Challenge is over.

WE WON

Of course we did

Awesome work everyone

Now let's try and get that average back above 7 mil ok?

[Snow Crash]

While winning the challenge is no surprise the fact that we might not make 200 million for the entire month and that our PPD is trending downwards pretty steeply is.

Now let's try and get that average back above 7 mil ok?

+1 ... I'm with ya boss. I can't bump my core count up but I should be able to squeeze a couple hundred more MHz out of what I do have. I'm even thinking of stopping GPU and Milkyway. Across my GPUs I lose 1/2 of one core in total ... not much but lets see what happens.

[malkiewicz]

Looks like I'm done crunching on the 2nd of January until late Feb. The last time I left my computer on when I left town bad things happened (Pump Died & My System Didn't Shut Down)... I did the best I could during the month of December… Hopefully I’ll have better luck next year when I get back… Congrats to all those who contributed - especially those who contributed big numbers
