Team B Race

eaglescouter · Jun 25, 2005

Ok Team B, let's get 'em in gear so we can quickly move into the lead for the race. I'd like to get started in first place so we dont have to try to play catch up.

Team B members:

Larry Quinn
Tyrinon
eaglescouter
hallen
Katelin
Andy Sherwood

1. Please be certain that you are running the new optimized Boinc Client on all your machines. This is not available from BOINC or Berkely. If you are not running it, please contact me for more info.

2. Set your preferences for 5-7 days so we dont run out of work if Berkeley has one of their famous outages.

3. Order new machines, or parts as appropriate. If you are not running dual channel yet on a dual channel mobo, then order/borrow/acquire that new ram stick.

4. Find, borrow, acquire every machine you can get your paws on and lets win this thing!

5. I think we need a better name than the "B Team".

6. Call the power company and tell them that the B team is cranking it up so they better be ready!

spiritedandy · Jun 26, 2005

ive just looked on the team page and ive no credits ive been crunching since 10 pm last night ....???

eaglescouter · Jun 26, 2005

After your pc finishes crunching a unit, it gets transmitted to berkeley.

They compare it to the other resultes for the same unit, and give credit only after they get back three results for that work unit. Until 3 results are back your credit is pending.

If you log into http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/home.php#prefs and look at your computers there is a link to review the work units returned. That will show you how much pending credit you have and will show if your machine is returning good or bad work units. Bad units are not ever going to receive credit.

Here's the public link to your computer and its results: http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=1114034

COMMON TEAM B

eaglescouter · Jun 27, 2005

Ok team, it's time to kick it up a notch or two, we are already falling behind.

I'm firing up a new box tonight, P4 2.8Ghz

Stryfe · Jun 27, 2005

Have you guys picked a team name?
I see Banzai Boinc'ers or Bad Boinc'ers suggested.
Just let me know what you want it to be

Tyrinon · Jun 28, 2005

I thought I would miss out on credits because my 4 Port US Robotics router let the smoke out while I was at work today.

It served a good life for me, so I'm not complaining much other than for the time it decided to go belly up.

Oh well, it was replaced with a 4 port Linksys. I guess we will see how it goes. :thup:

Anyway, I'd have to say thanks for whoever it was that wrote the optimized clients for SETI. My Xeon is cranking out units in about 2h15m each, the 3 P4's are popping them out in about 2hrs give or take for each unit, the 933 P3 is doing units in about 6hrs, and the 2ghz Celery is shooting out wu's in about 4h-4h15m!!! I don't have anymore available plugins or I would have another p3 running (450 @ 505). With all the stuff running atm, I'm half afraid that I'll blow a breaker and not be here to reset it! LOL

Banzai Baby! :burn:

eaglescouter · Jul 2, 2005

eaglescouter · Jul 3, 2005

Enkidu · Jul 3, 2005

Ack! No fair !!!

I have 4 xeon cpu's sitting around, and no machines to put them in!!!

*steals eaglescouter's new motherboard*

eaglescouter · Jul 3, 2005

Your CPU's won't fit in my new dual opteron mobo, but send me those chips and I'll get 'em running!

spiritedandy · Jul 3, 2005

Interesting idea.... I have not tapped in to the neighbor, but I did run out of capacity on the circuit breaker for the computer room, so I had to run a heavy cord from the next room over until I climb into the attic crawl space to run an additional circuit.

Stryfe · Jul 3, 2005

I've changed the team B name to Banzai Boinc'ers since it seems to be what you guys want. Let me know if I'm wrong or you want it changed.

spiritedandy · Jul 4, 2005

i like it cheers

simply awsome eaglescouter

am i crunching ok i think it takes normaly 1hr 40mins ....got up this morning it said 11hrs to finish one ....

Larry Quinn · Jul 5, 2005

Well...I was able to add a 3.4 P4 Friday...and ordered a Xenon 3.4 today ... Problem is that It has an ETA of next week!!!....

I'm about tapped out finding Clock cycles...so I don't know how many more credits I will be able to add to what I normally produce... :shrug:

Sorry...I feel like I've let the team down! :bang head
