 Okay, I've had my Italian espresso (caffe doppio)  in Dutch volumes. Hand grinded, the only way  ... so I'm ready for another round... of peak performance (pure talk of course ;>) Yesterday we collected 305 CPU years. Statistically Thursday is stronger than Wednesday... suspect it's something today with a second wave from work that crunchers picked up on Monday/Tuesday... so we should remain well above the 300 daily mean as December target. Rolling 7 days we recorded 2,161 CPU years as we continue for more...

Though Murphy worked hard in the last 24 hours to hide the 300:277:12:28:07 CPU years added on Sunday to pass the 300,000 CPU years since beginning of WCG, he failed. So, forward we go, probably crunching another 325+ today to keep our Challenge period average well above the target.
----------------------------------------301 was also a super duper weekend leap frog over any previous weekend record day, thus Right on, hit them up, move them on, those crunchers.

Maybe the admin was snowed under too and forgot to tweet about the 300,000 CPU years we passed on Sunday. Bad weather around the planet and the forums from here at least 5 hours unreachable, but that does not stop us from crunching.
----------------------------------------Yesterday 320 CPU years and for today my extrapolation with some Hari Seldon's input comes to 319, for the morning 159 clocked. In summary, the  Looks like HFCC is going to have a little bit more of the validation share today :D Now who's in charge of this Challenge... are the Power Cows dusting off the competition?

Now who's in charge of this Challenge... are the Power Cows dusting off the competition? I can't say for sure but I think our good friends the DPC are more like getting in a good bath as they will be BBQ at the end of the month.  Now that I've teased them I'd like to add something else. Going way back to D20L in 2005 the DPC were IMHO the driving force that brought people together at XS. It was the DPC that provided the impetus to make the Xs teams happen and for that I'll always be grateful to them.  |

A nice reminiscence, Movieman.
----------------------------------------Secretly, only now I've noticed that the last 10,000 CPU years to reach 300,000 was done in 33 days. That was an average over 303 years per day. Yesterday we had an unexpectedly big afternoon bump ending on 313 (lots of 3s in this)... and typically Thursday is still stronger than the mid week day so... Vrooom  Full Size View

In the Spirit of... the more CPU years crunched for a project, the more the balls move to the right. The more power we give, the higher they hang in our virtual X-mas Tree as they grow...

Nice idea, Sekerob!
Now you have to give the tree a tilt angle in accordance with the position of the balls. I hope the christmas tree will fall to the right side soon  |

Well Well, the project balls juggle showed off a new top spot projection for Monday, HCC taking over from FAAH... all hanging middle to right ;>)
----------------------------------------The height is now determined by the project share and the CPU years controlling the size... and the power of the hardware, how heavy the leaning will be... HCMD2 has that honneur :D
