yeah.. sadly due to ISP problems my pcs cant connect at all to SETI.. im using my mates pc at the moment until my ISP can figure out whats up.. you see, everyone in NZ who was using Xtra ISP was put upto 3.5mbps ADSL.. i was on 256k, and since they have put this new scheme in, my connection has been going haywire.. hopfully it will be resolved before the race, as all my caches are totally used up >_<

Any ideas on what sort of length race we are looking at? 1/4mill like last time? 1/2mill is probably pushing it, but i wont say no

Get the race started already! I'm teaching these days so I put some of my students puters to work, wanted to keep it a surprise for the race but I couldn't let these computers idle doing nothing!

eaglescouter · Apr 4, 2006

I'm with ^^ Geared up and ready to go but not holding back the horsepower because it must be used!

Once we see how many people are interested we can decide a reasonable goal.

Reasonable? That's no fun

sir_LOIN · Apr 4, 2006

Now I'm the one who's with you! Let's be unreasonable!

We got enough people for two teams, let's get this thing started before Seti crashes on us again! lol We can always add more people as we go, especially if the goal set is high.

Careface · Apr 4, 2006

if there was only going to be 2 teams (instead of the usual 4) perhaps we should make it a clean 1mill race?

Hamm3r · Apr 5, 2006

I like the idea of just 2 teams. There is not enough people for the four team race.

eaglescouter · Apr 5, 2006

Ohhhhhh millllllliiiioooonnnnnn

Mils128 = Mils

I see a problem.... If I'm going to increase SETI horsepower any further I'll need to run a new pwer circuit to the computer room..

So get a really good race going, give me a reason to get this rewire started now while the attic is still cool enough to work in!

hitokiri_808 · Apr 5, 2006

2 teams to 1mil sounds good to me.

Tyrinon · Apr 5, 2006

One million cs sounds good to me also, but I wouldn't mind waiting a few days first to get the farm ready.

Shweet

HDD arrived today, so got another 2.4ghz celery rig up for the race (just waiting on seti's network problems to cease, so i can dl some WUs).. and since its Autumn now and cooling off a wee bit, ive oc'd a little more.. so now in total i have just over 20.1GHz of SETI crunchers

.. so i should be pushing out ~2300 RAC, as some of them are mate's pcs that are part timers

.. anyway, crunch on

It is early spring here--strange how things are so different on the opposite sides of this earth...

Let's race!

Careface · Apr 6, 2006

lol tell me about it.. i went to the northern hemisphere for the first time in my life 2 months ago, and i was just amazed that it snowed at christmas lol. its mid summer in NZ during xmas.. was a bloody good (and welcome

) change to 25C+ weather lol

on a side note, how fast should a 2.4ghz celery crunch a unit? its taking like.. 2.5hours using the SSE2 client from cruncher.. its almost not worth the couple of hundred watts to keep it running lol, thats like.. 9 units a day >_<

Not quite yet. I'm just running a test run to 15,000 to make sure everything's working right.

Is two teams to 1,000,000 agreeable to everyone? It'll take 67 days or probably less. Another option would be three teams to 500,000 in 50 days or less.

We'll start the race in a few days, I'd like to make a small change to the script before we start, plus there may end up being a couple more people.

BulldogMcC · Apr 6, 2006

Any race set up would be fine by me. Set it and forget it
