The "Oh My, Look Who Has Pie" Thread

[Sparky]

On your WCG project page, all those projects count towards WCG. BOINC will process them all. Think of those projects on the WCG page as "sub-projects" in a sense. They are all under the main project WCG, and all get credited to your WCG total. And BOINC credit will always follow suit as BOINC is what is handling the processing for WCG.

Thanks for helping Sparky. So do I need to pick one project and one project only for 100% of points to be Boinc and WCG????

If you are using BOINC then everything you do will earn you BOINC points. If you want to be earning WCG points then you need to be connected to the WCG project. If you want to earn the MOST WCG points you can then make sure you are ONLY connected to the WCG project.

Here's a screenshot of my projects page in the BOINC manager:
Attachment 109138

If you have any other projects listed there then your work will be distributed between them to varying degrees. If you only have the one, like mine, then all of your work is going to WCG.

Thanks for helping Sparky. So do I need to pick one project and one project only for 100% of points to be Boinc and WCG???? I'd say instructions for newbs were fubar for this points push. I still don't know if I'm helping.

You can pick any project through WCG that fits your taste and DA already stated that your points are going in the right place and YOU are helping.

These days it takes a crap load of cores to get pie

I run strictly HCC/HFCC. I'm all about cancer, but I do contribute to some of the others at times.

I do not recall but I think 1 project will get a bunch of errors under win7 and most likely vista. Every time I run it the wu's error out a lot and is not worth my time.
Hope this helps.

to make it easy: boinc or WCG are one in the same. When you look at your production under WCG page; divide your daily total by 7 to get a rough estimate of your daily boinc points which you can comepare for the pie thread

Ok, think of it like this:

Consider BOINC like a delivery truck. You get BOINC points (miles driven) for every trip that truck makes. Obviously you can't make a delivery without packages, so let's consider the work units that get done to be those packages and the projects (ie WCG) they belong to as the addresses each package goes to.
If you only deliver packages to one address then the points you get for all the deliveries to that address will be the same as the points you get for every delivery the truck makes. If you are making deliveries to more than one address (say you're delivering to Milkyway@Home, Primegrid and Rosetta@Home as well as WCG) then the truck will do more miles getting to all the addresses than it does just getting to the WCG address. The total BOINC points (miles on the truck) will be a lot more than the deliveries you've made to any one project.

OK I want to throw a challenge out there - trn, dethrone EtaCarinae and take your pie back

I'll try to make it a bit more competitive next week, unfortunately after XS - SC week #2. I'm happy to share some pie and friendly competition against Hypernova, with his incredible collection of computers i'm just lucky to be even in the same league

Please tell me where I'm going wrong for this competition. I was told WCG is the Gold Standard for stats.

The daily pie charts here aren't that formal. As far as 'gold standard' its really up to whom ever post to pick the source they want. I think the 'pie' reference started with Free-DC stats who puts a Pie chart of the top 10 daily team producers and top 10 team overall. http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?p...bwcg&team=8674. We have used Free-DC stats for a long time because they automatically make the PIE graphic and we just borrowed it and posted it in this thread.

Recently SAM our keeper of the PIE has been using boinc stats and generating his own custom graphic daily! I think this is a good idea for a few reasons. Boincstats does their daily update at ~1:30pm EST and 6:30pm GMT and is very consistent with the update time; free-dc is inconsistant and often does their last daily update at 1:00am - 4:30am EST. Less reliable and less convinent for the majority of our users whom are in Europe and North America. WCG is a good place for daily numbers but their information is hard to sort by team member daily output so it makes generating a pie chart hard. Also WCG updates at 9:15pm EST or 2:15am GMT and 3:15am CET so very untimely for majority of our users. So, to SAM, keeper of the pie

Which stats site you choose to look at really won't matter in the long run, all credit the same points the only differences are in how each site times a day and reports the information. Rarely does the time difference make a difference in daily placement, and if it does our tradition is to settle any disputes with a tradiational 10 pace pistol duel

I browse free-dc for the better reporting of averages and more detailed host reporting and here for SAM's info from boinc stats and I also check WCG totals at night or in the mornings if I miss the night before, good for project run times and quickie WCG point conversion or project specific run times or returned results and the likes.

Thanks to all those posting! Just got off the phone with Dave. He made things crystal clear for me. Grasshopper is learning.

After returning from the hospital WFO will probably regain 90-95% of his hearing.
The cause of this sudden loss of hearing is unknown but the Dr's are looking into it...
