Another way to calculate this
Rosetta output down approx 100k/day would be replaced with up to 186k poem output.
WCG output down around the same amount could be well over 200k worth of poem as WCG credit is so poor.
Spinhenge down 50k really poor credit hour (less than 4) could give over 250k credit on poem.
So three projects output down 250K could be replaced with over 700k on poem
Output is also down on einstein, proteins, qmc, nqueens and possibly others as well and as long as the credit lost was at a lower hourly rate than credit granted on poem their output will rise.
What ever the reason for the credits they are having a cracking good team go at the poem/casp8 challenge.
(now where is that guillotine basket?)

Mmmm.....I'm running v6.2.2 on windoze, so that might explain it!Joshrandom wrote:Everything's fine here Mr Melter (I'm running BOINC 5.10.8 on Ubuntu). :?melter65 wrote:Has anyone else 'lost' the 'CPU Time', 'Progress' and 'To Completion' figures in POEM?

HERE are the latest stats.
You'll see that we've pulled back BOINC.BE to a 20 day 'overtake', based on the last 4hrs results. We can also welcome NaRyan to the challange, I was talking to him last night and he's put a few boxes on it!

I have noticed one thing with melter65's results.
The Task Details all say this.
It's doing the work, but I guess it just don't work too good with Boinc V6.

I did this some while ago as I was having problems getting almost anything to run correctly.melter65 wrote:Thanks for that, Ian! I think I'll drop back to v5.10.45 and stop it with these 'unstable' versions!
To be fair, there is a warning on the start-up in 'Messages'. It says, "This is a development version of BOINC and may not function properly." Straight to the point, I'd say!
Leave version 6 alone for the time being.....
Can you check again please, NaRyan? Should read same as yours now
HERE are today's Stats.
We've picked up on both our last 4hr credits and our last 24hr credits figures! Both are now in the Green! These are the best figures we've had during the crunch! We've reeled BOINC.BE back in to a 13 day overtake (based on our last 4hr credits) Keep Crunching!

HERE are todays Stats.
I'm very happy to be able to report an increase in production for this project! We've got Green figures (gains) in all three timed stats, and we've now gained on BOINC.BE by 3500 credits!
I've found some pretty graph's, so I'll add some to these reports!
Keep Crunching!

yes I still only hold the two units i'm working on.
You need to change the settings on how often Boinc can connect to the internet (I assume you have it set to 4 or more days), try setting to connect every 2 days with 2 days in reserve. You can do this on the individual pc without changing the settings on a project. Play around with the settings and it will stop "running as priority".
This applies to any project with a short turnaround time if the connection time is too far ahead Boinc panics so reducing the time actually lets you get more work (which is the reverse of what I thought-long gap between connection=more work.)

So anyway I'll stop all my other stuff and join in if not too late putting all cores onto poem asap.

Early Stats are HERE (I'm working nights!)
A big Welcome to UBT - Terry! You can add as many cores as you like, Mate!
Glad to see Sir Cracked sorted his cache problem (Thanks Mark!)
I was expecting the drop in yesterday and today's stats, with the PG 24hr Birthday Bash going on. So now the dust's settled on that we can get back to crunching more POEM and see if we can climb the leaderboard before the end of the month!

The chase is afoot!
We've pulled back approx 20,000 credits on BOINC.BE over the last few days! All three gain/loss columns are 'in the green!' Only 3days and 11hrs to overtake, using the 'last 24hr' credits stat!
Welcome to new member UBT - Nogbo, you've come on as half-time substitute, but in this game no one has to go off!
Let's give it an all out push for the second half of the POEM-Athon!

From the POEM website;
The server has also been down for a while this afternoon as well!June 16, 2008 - Webserver woes, 100.000 jobs
Yesterday the project had problems with the webserver. As it seems some of the cache files on the webserver became unreadable, which resulted in apache not spawning new processes.
Apart from yesterday, the project is doing fine, as you are all doing a tremendous job: the 100.000 job mark was crossed a few times already. Thanks for all your ongoing support and sorry for the trouble.
Today's Stats are HERE
Despite the server problems (see above posts!) UBT are crunching more POEM credits than ever in this Marathon!
All three output columns (last 4hrs, 24hrs and 72hrs) show us crunching approx DOUBLE the credits of BOINC.BE!!
We're approx 25,000 credits behind BOINC.BE (16th) and 50,000 credits behind AMD Users (15th), but we're out crunching BOTH those teams!
We're only halfway through this Marathon, there's time left to gain a few more places in this race!

Less than 20,000 credits behind and we're still gaining on both BOINC.BE and AMD Users by leaps and bounds!
In fact the overtake time for the last 4hr credits is showing that we could overtake BOTH teams in one go!

I realise that it was a bit like watching a Supertanker turn around! But I'd been looking at the POEM website stats for UBT as well as the POEM-Athon stats, and I could see how we were increasing our credit output, compared with the start of the Crunch!Sir Cracked of the Mind wrote:Now we are starting to move, I thought it was going to be a total embarrassment for a few days there!
Today's Stats are HERE
All three overtake stats are now showing less than 24hrs to overtaking BOINC.BE
We are now outproducing not only BOINC.BE and AMD Users, but also Crunchers Inc, who are in 14th place!

Well Done, peeps! As Nogbo and Woodles rightly observed, we've just ripped past BOINC.BE and are in hot pursuit of AMD Users!
We're still outproducing AMD Users and now Crunchers Inc. as well!
Another pretty graph for you:
This one shows how fast we are closing in on AMD Users!

We are now right behind AMD Users and flashing our high-beams to overtake!
I haven't worked out the time scale to overtake Crunchers Inc, Woodles, but the Stats page will do that as soon as we pass AMD Users!
A pretty graph that shows what our output has been over the past 18 days!

Early Stats today (nights again!) are HERE
We're 12days behind Crunchers Inc, with 9days to go, so now's the time to dig deep and see if we can close the gap before the end!
Our credit output is more than double that of Crunchers Inc. in the 4hr stats and only a little less than double in the 24hr and 72hr stats! So there's evry chance of overhauling them!
If we can now treat this as a 9day team crunch and get more members running POEM for only 9days then we can finish in a respectable 14th position in a worldwide competition!

We should really be pushing for a top 5.
How many members are active on the forum ?
:drunken: :drunken:
1800+ team members but under 300 forum members (and they are not all team members either).
Of the 42 team members who crunch Poem; 26 have done so in the last 4 weeks (62%)
Depends how you wish to define active:37 forum members have visited the site in the last week rising to 46 since 1st June.
30 forum members are responsible for 87% of the total forum postings and by chance 87% of team members are not forum members.

Just had a quick look at the stats, and it looks as though Crunchers Inc have lit the blue touch paper....
..if the stats page is right, then they just got over 180,000 credits in the last four hours, while we have only managed 270,000 in the whole of June thus far. :(

I presume they've waited until deadline day before reporting all their finished wu's. A kick in the teeth for us, but nothing to say you can't do that!
Maybe this explains it?
Or has YKW swapped teams again?
Deadlines are quite short on this so I don't think hoarding but their star Poem Cruncher left the team just before the start of this if they have rejoined that would do it.
Today's Stats are HERE
After the massive jump in Cruncher Inc's production yesterday, these stats make interesting and encouraging reading!
You'll notice that the overtake stats are back down to 8 and a half days on the 4hr/credits column and 12 and 13 days respectively on the 24 and 72hr data! :D
All is not lost! We can still catch them, with a little extra crunching! Just look how we're out-producing them in all three stat columns!
On a lighter note, see how long it will be before Kipssi overtake Team ECN on the last 4hrs stats!

Hi vaio, that was one hell of a glitch!
Are the Gypsy Poem Crew ready for another walkabout?
Anyhoo, vaio is right about Crunchers Inc's production! We need to keep pushing this one right to the end! Even though the overtake times are showing longer than the POEM-Athon has to run, it doesn't take much to alter those stats!

Vaio's right, 72 hours ago they were averaging 662 an hour, 24 hours ago it was 143, now only 80 while we've been fairly constant at 600-650 ish!Our output is next to nothing so you can catch us
However, even if they stop producing completely, it'll still take ten days to catch them at our current rate
Looks like we need more crunchers ... wherever they come from!

Cheers Timby!
Yes, Woodles is right, we need more crunchers for the last five days of the POEM-Athon, or we won't catch Crunchers Inc
Could I appeal to all the multicore/box crunchers in the Team to spare another core for just five more days of POEM?

Out of sheer closeness which this is going to be.. I have finally decided to hit POEM also. Sorry for the late contribution chaps but i'm gonna give it all during these last 4 days. 4 more cores at the ready!
I want to see us get that extra place up! If not, there are going to be a few screws loose in some bar stools next time! :lol:

Thanks for the additional core(s), our average per hour for the last four hours has doubled what it's been the rest of the time, just think where we could have ended up if we'd been at this rate all the time!
Three days and sixteen hours left, three days and fourteen hours to catch them, it's beginning to look like we might actually make it! :)
(Sorry in advance if that jinxs anything!)

We're still slighty behind on the 4hr overtake stats, but if you look at the overtake stats for 24hr and 72hr overtake times are roughly the same. I believe that we are stabilising our output over a 72hr period and with a last push we can overtake Crunchers Inc!
Yesterday was our highest credit day over the whole POEM-Athon! Here's a pretty graph to prove it!
And here's another one to show how close we are to Crunchers Inc!

Unfortunately they're not slack enough, vaio!
Thanks for the effort people, but unless we can find 56,000 credit sometime in the next 1day and 10hrs then we won't catch Crunchers Inc
I'm on nights for the next two days, so I might not get the chance to be here at the end of the POEM-Athon, so can I just take this opportunity to Thank everyone who has taken part and crunched for the Team, however large or small, everybody's contribution has gone towards an admirable final total! Cheers! :occasion5:

With less than 12 hours to go now it is going to take an act of God or stroke of genius for us to catch Crunchers Inc now. :(
We should still finish in a respectable 15th place though. :D
This is the first challenge I have taken part in and it has been good, looking forward to the next one now.
Many thanks to Melter for being an ace cheerleader.

We couldn't quite catch Crunchers Inc, but we were only 1day and 3hrs short at the end!
Glad you enjoyed the crunch, Nogbo, they brighten up what can be a somewhat tedious hobby sometimes, and give the individual projects a healthy boost!
I think I'll apply for the POEM cheerleader job, I like a challenge!
