just for benz or are all of them messed up?
I haven't checked all of them, but it's been acting up a little since Berkeley changed some formatting a couple weeks ago. If it looks normal it probably is. Obviously units under an hour are not normal.

Seems like the sheet is right. He did 1655 WU's in a week and dropped his average cpu time 15 minutes(for all WU's completed). That is a big drop for all the WU's he has, seems to me that the 0.805 is correctly calculated. Just my .02
i guess no1 really knows except benz himself then.heh but still wow times like that are incredible

Remember that guy who was completing wu's in 20 minutes? What was his name?...Ice_Tea or something like that? Then everyone found out he had some kind of "bug" in his Seti program that kept returning wu's in 20 minutes for no apparent reason. Needless to say, you can't find Ice_tea anymore on our team :D
Do you think benz got hold of the Clawhammer or SledgeHammer a year before the rest of us? :eh?:

check out #13, and the other recent alpha's
my guess is he has some serious alpha's or other such hardware
possibly a renderfarm thats not in use atm
just a thought
:)
Under the old 3.0 client it was possible to get around 1 hour with an Alpha 21264, but the 3.03 client almost doubled that to in excess of 2 hours. I think the times in that table are mostly old compilations.
The only sub 1hr WUs I've seen from 3.03 have been faked one's created by one of the patched clients. Even using something like the MVS/OS390 client on mainframes isn't going to get sub 1hr results.
Of course it could all be a genuine mistake. I don't like to be the one to call foul.

I sent an e-mail to benz monthes ago...never got a responce. All I have to say is that I don't think he was patching. Now I can not say that for sure. Even Compaq's testing facility can't get those times. Just my two cents.

well, i don't think his time & WU is fake neither!! as a fellow team member, i do trust him, and his work is very very helpful for the team, nevertheless..... (100+WU/day, sure we need that :D )
but i just don't remember i've ever seen him in any section of the forum at all. is he a forum member too? or he's just crunching for the team silently.
'cos i sure would like to meet him.

something is up
at www.ocsetiteam.com? The stats there are only updated once a week. It is just a snapshot.

'cos i sure would like to meet him. It would be nice if most of our heavy hitters would show up in the forum once in a while. Look at that guy Schnider - got to 10,000 and quit, and I don't think he ever participated in the forum. Kinda weird that he quit crunching, but remains with the team. Then there's Benz. At first I thought maybe he doesn't know enough English to drop in, but his profile says otherwise. At least he kicked his output way up - we sure need all the help we can get. Makes me wonder if he reads the forum but doesn't post...

yeah, that's what i thinking too. may be he DID read the forum, but he just never post that's all.
and as for Schnider, it is weird that once he reach 10,000WU, he quit after that....???
anyway, i DO like to meet all of our team member in here tho. u know, we all r in the same big family!! :D and that's the way to keep us in touch and keep crunching for the team!!;)
