Rosie RAC Harvest - Status/DiscussionThread

baditude_df · Nov 1, 2009

Welcome all!
So what is the goal of this whole contest you ask? ~~Well, I'd like to say the goal is to blow the doors off Team China, But since that will be a near impossible feat to accomplish in a 2Wk Period, the Goal is to get to 30MIL Total Points.~~

SCREW IT! We're gonna blow Team China's doors off!

I just had a look at our overtake stats and at our current rate we'll take them in 41.4 days. Since I see our RAC going WAY up, and theirs seems to be slowly dwindling.
I figure by the end of November we'll take em no problem!
I really didn't expect things to start ramping up at such an early date, and definitely not to rise so quickly. WOW!

Here's where we sit currently:

As you can see, we are currently 1.1MIL from our Goal.

Let's see what we can do!

Prizes so far!

THIS JUST IN!
I have two more Sweet Prizes here that I hope to be adding to the pool!
Each of these prizes will remain a mystery until they are unlocked!
How will they be unlocked?

Prize A) ~~Reach a team RAC of 100K!~~ ACHIEVED!
Prize A is a $100 Gift Certificate from Petra's Tech Shop!

Prize B) ~~Reach our Goal of overtaking Team China!~~ ACHIEVED!
My Trusty Foxconn Bloodrage GTI X58 Mobo

W2F Everybody! Great job so far!

Here's a pic of the MC-TDX I donated to the contest. It has the metal, univesal mount, which is drilled for everything up to i7. Also included is a rethreaded TR backplate which the 6-32 studs will now screw in to for mounting on LGA775. I used this waterblock for around 4-5 months on the PH II system in my sig before I found a great deal on a Fuzion V. 1, which is on that system now. Anyways, here's the waterblock and extra mounting stuff:

baditude_df · Nov 3, 2009

I've used one of these, and it was a great block for 775.
The addition of the back plate and metal top is really nice!
Thank you mud.

baditude_df · Nov 3, 2009

Wow, lots of registered contestants already!

Some familliar faces and some new. Awesome!

Again, stay tuned for more prizes. I plan to add at least one more b4 the end of the contest. Hopefully b4 it starts, so I can double my RAC b4 giving it away!

baditude_df · Nov 9, 2009

Two Mystery Prizes added! See first post.

I'm confident that I'll be able to add them both to the pool!

baditude_df · Nov 11, 2009

Updated First Post.
Only 35.4K till we reach 100K RAC, and only 17.1K till we hit the Top10 in the world!
And only 1.1MIL points away from Team China and 29th Place!
We're really moving now!

Well, I'm glad I started my machines early as they are ramping up the RAC real well. I just passed you for 2nd place in RAC, bad.

I might be able to fire off another quad when I get back in from offshore for the contest too. But that won't be until the middle of next week.

baditude_df · Nov 13, 2009

You Rat, I only have one CPU!

On another note, we just passed 70K team RAC, and Pixie hasn't even fired up the jets yet. We're really moving!

baditude_df · Nov 13, 2009

Status Update!
Team RAC----> 70651. Up from 48546 on the 1st of the month! Only 29349 to go till 100K!
Distance to Team China---> 941176pts. 28.03 days at our current rate. We need more POWAH!

Here's where we sit relative to other teams in our neighborhood.

muddocktor · Nov 14, 2009

Hey bad, I don't know if you've noticed 2 things yet, so I'll state them now.

First, if you look at the stats on the BOINCstats page, we are right at 100k ppd right now on daily production. :salute:

Second, as part of being the point-whore I am and checking my stats

, I noticed that on our member's page there that Pixie is now getting into serious production mode. :comp:

Let's bring it on, team! :grouphug:

BTW, you will notice that I.M.O.G. pestered iNet enough that they finally gave us some new smileys to play with too.

drshivas · Nov 14, 2009

Should we make a a friendly announcement in the FAH and SETI forums re: the Harvest? I went looking and didn't see one.

I had mentioned this a week or so ago in the Seti forum. And there is an announcement about the contest posted forum-wide. But I see no harm if you want to post about it in the Folding forum, drshivas.

Oh yeah, I noticed. On both accounts. Personally I prefer Boinc all Project Stats I like the interface better.
If you look at anyone's stats, typically their points per day will be greater than the RAC itself. The actual points produced are what I used in my scenarios and calculations when drawing up the contest rules and for when I do my status updates. Since our RAC other team's RACs change all the time, overtake predictions are extremely hard to do, and often have to be revised on a weekly or daily basis though.

PS speaking of Production Mode, I'm coming for you! 4.2GHz and CPU preference set to "in use" mode for some TRUE 24/7 crunching power.

Forum wide announcement and Main Page announcement made on the 1st, albeit not too visible. I should have asked IMOG to make it green or red. Oh well.

Absolutely. If anyone would like to promote the contest in their respective team forums, please do. I see no harm in it, especially as we can also help them when it comes time for their events. Thx shivas.

drshivas · Nov 14, 2009

Reminder and invite posted in the SETI and FAH forums.

I'm looking forward to this contest! We have a great turnout and some heavy hitters joining us.

I also started crunching on my laptop to help fight off Pixie, and anyone else who's about to steamroll me!

Sir-Epix · Nov 14, 2009

I would love to help out, but I have to sit this one out. I have 2 laptops out (1 hard drive failure that I am fixing) the other got trojened out the wazoo. If I fix them in time I will donate some rosetta time. Talk about a bad time for me

My RAC is simply a flash in a pan. It'll be gone (or drastically cut) before you know it. But It sure is fun to put some distance between us and VTC. Man, those guys are rocking! Hopefully, their RAC will take a nosedive when the holiday season starts.

When does Thanksgiving start again?

Anyway, all rigs switched to R@H except for 2. I have some leftover WUs from the Gauntlet that needs finishing. I switched to F@H and forgot all about them. Man, they have very long due dates. I was hoping they would've been recycled by now.

Hey Sir-Epix. Sorry to hear about the pesky trojans and HW issues.(must've been watching more than Hulu lately ... j/k

Pls. don't shoot me. )
