There's a chance that "server-colocation" is going to get properly defined as a "staff-benefit" product in work, leaving people to choose whether to go with a virtual machine on a VMWare platform that we build for everyone to share, or whether to go (or stay) with a 1U physical server.
----------------------------------------The latter would be much more preferable for WCG, but I'm going to wait a bit to see how things pan out, before deciding to splash out on upgrading my current 1U physical server. If it does work out, I'll be going from an ancient/slow 2GB dual single-core Xeon, to a "slightly" newer and more powerful 12GB dual hex-core Xeon. That might do a little bit more work, I think! :)  |

TeAm AnandTech have been an on/off threat to the UK team's Points ranking for some time. At 31 Dec they were within 3 days of passing us! Then we put on a spurt/they went quiet and they didn't register as a valid threat in the last 6 weeks. Now they've strung together 7 days crunching in excess of the UK team's effort and currently are set to overtake us within the next 6 days.
---------------------------------------- UK Team Ranking - Threats RunTime Days to close Points Days to close Results Days to close On a brighter note the time to overtake most of our targets is shortening!  There is now a realistic chance of overtaking Improbable Island's Distributed Supercomputer in the Results rankings within 5 months!  UK Team Ranking - Targets RunTime Days to close Points Days to close Results Days to close By way of explanation the estimates are based on comparision of relative team performance averaged over the last 7days. For the UK team the 7day average stats were: Runtime 372.6; Points 3,317,238; Results 6,891. |

Great stuff - I'm still pushing for a couple of VMs on our test cluster for trying out some new toolsets we are lookign at. As we are probably only goign to be using them for 10% of the time, it would be a shame to waste those spare cycles... very much depends on when I can get some runtime for my projects and how much share of resources I can get.The latter would be much more preferable for WCG, but I'm going to wait a bit to see how things pan out, before deciding to splash out on upgrading my current 1U physical server.

(apologies to any GPs on here... it's just typical of my own experience too) Not a GP but spent sometime managing a six partner GP practice. As with any profession there are good ones - those who go a bit further - and bad ones - those who just go through the motions. My personal judgement would be for a GP <40 - so their knowledge of the latest developments is still relatively uptodate. Despite the requirement for Continuing Professional Education I suspect that many GPs rely on their experience rather than keeping abreast of the latest changes to treatment, drugs etc. |
