The POEM-Athon Challenge!!

This section is where you can post topics related to Challenges from other websites, such as Formula-BOINC, SETI-Germany and BOINCstats, as well as project challenges such as from WCG, PrimeGrid et al.

As a Team, we really want to engage as many team members with these challenges, as this gives us a great way of attracting more members to our Team...plus we get to show our strengths as a Team by (hopefully) doing well in each one.

PS: I have moved lots of topics into this section where they are relevant...as you can see, we've always been happy to take part in Challenges...and long may that continue ;-)

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.  :(

According to the stats they done 824.032 credits in the last day!
Either the stats have gone a bit weird, or someone has been sitting on a lot of work and only just reported it....

No worries, Terry, it all helps! :D

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? :wink:

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! :D

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! :twisted:

On a lighter note, see how long it will be before Kipssi overtake Team ECN on the last 4hrs stats! :wink:

Four hour stats now say only seven days and fifteen hours ... shame there's only six days and fifteen hours left! Looks like we're just going to miss out  :(

Greetings

Crunchers Inc stats were a glitch.

Good luck

BTW........

If you play nice there may be some serious crunching power headed your way for a coupla weeks after the poemathon.

Dunno when yet, but IF we show up you'll notice  :wink:

You lot got a target position in mind?

Hi vaio, that was one hell of a glitch! :lol:

Are the Gypsy Poem Crew ready for another walkabout? :D

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! :D

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!

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! :D

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? :D

I have switched my other projects to 'no new work', and put everything I've got onto POEM for the rest of the POEM-athon.....

..not that I've got a lot mind.  :)

There's only a few days left, if anyone else wants to lend a hand.

Thanks Mark! :D

Here's a graph taken from the stats about 23.50hrs. It shows how we are gaining on Crunchers Inc, little by little! 8)

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:  :wink:

Only had one core not crunching POEM and that was the one I was using to try out Virtual Prairie.

Unfortunately VP is something of a non-starter at the moment so that core has also been turned over to POEM.

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!)

4hr stats showing 2days and 23hrs to overtake Crunchers Inc, with 3days and 5hrs left of the POEM-Athon! :D

Thanks for going 'all out' on POEM, Nogbo! 8)

It's going to be a close one, but I'm sure we'll make it! :D

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! :D

Yesterday was our highest credit day over the whole POEM-Athon! Here's a pretty graph to prove it! :D

Image

And here's another one to show how close we are to Crunchers Inc! :D

Unfortunately they're not slack enough, vaio! :lol:

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.

For the last time! Today's Stats are HERE

We couldn't quite catch Crunchers Inc, but we were only 1day and 3hrs short at the end! :D

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! :D

I think I'll apply for the POEM cheerleader job, I like a challenge! :wink:
