That said I'm looking forward to wupping a certain number cruncher in the short term - you know who he is

We're both BOINC'ed so it a fair fight

I'm such a kid

It's funny to hear my 13 year old daughter say to me.

"Dad you're so immature "

LOL

Smile whenever you can

Dave

LOL

Me and the kids had a chat and we figured we would mess with your head a bit, since I was paying for all the leccy they would help me out - It was the sig wot did it but you cottoned on and removed it so we unleashed the avalanche of WU's we had stacking up. Knreed's little change made for a handy smokescreen

It's amazing how much difference a couple of 3000+'s make



278th at the last look

Keep on Crunching
Dave

I'm punching 21GFlops from the Autumns Household on full bore

Now it looks correct

Dont they call that Peer Pressure?

"Whoa!" I never realised how desperate you was to stay ahead of me!
So are you going to return their PC's to them, now that you have supposedly messed with my head, as you so elequently phrased it?

Billvelek, to address
Slap me on the hand if i'm bringing something up, already discussed in this thread.....there is the quorum of 3 balancing act in BOINC. If 2 machines rip thru a WU and claim say 45 and 48 points, then me slug coming in late, but thats not relevant, drop in # 3 and claim 60, the 45 and 60 get point wise dismissed and everyone in the quorum gets 48 each. On average, sometimes being the low of the three, the high or the centre piece, I find that on a larger number of WU's average send in, i get about 7.75 BOINC points per CPU hour contributed. Those BOINC points as mentioned are converted to WCG points at an average of 7. Short Rosetta's get often an exact 7. Some other certain sizes get exact 6.75 and other roam around than 7 number. The 7.75 BOINC points average per hour has seen lows of 6.35 and highs of 10....just entirely depending on who your chance quorum teammates were.

I've adopted sort of the BOINC promotor function in our team, because of the much greater efficiency, dual core and hyper threading utilisation.....in the end now 45 days on BOINC i can say that prior i processed 1.33 WU's per day on average, now 2.66, coincidence? Size vary both in UD and BOINC agent. My points have more or less doubled too, so dont think there is any inequity in the system. Don't believe it..... its like a placebo, they work too, sometimes

One devious thing discovered (re-inventing a wheel maybe) is to effectively shut down any process, but BOINC (unplug the ADSL and kill firewall and antivir inclusive), then run the Benchmark, which i'm told impacts the height of the claim. For sure the Dhry- and Whetstone MIPS came up quite drastically....... These guys at Berkeley though, thought of that too, so they made BOINC to run the benchmark regularly, just when you're not looking and were doing that heavy spreadsheet job whilst watching that windows with that streaming video in the corner of your eyes .....claims down, thus like EPO, it wears off ;>)

PS everytime you run the benchmark it stops the science crunch for the duration, then reloads the WU from the last datapoint.....you loose 10 minutes helping medicine each time

Fishing trip is planned.....another way to boost my 'points' i'm making

Hey David
Irrespective of the tongue in cheek humour, your dedication to the project is most admirable
It's a shame that you are not still with us
Come on be honest, you do miss your old team mates and being part of the mighty team that you built, don't you?
