WCG bunny race
WCG bunny race
Hello folks!
Last december, our team launched the "christmas race" at world community grid. With more than 100 active teams, this competition became much more successfull than we had ever thought before. Nevertheless, many teams were not able to join the race because of different reasons (ongoing matches against other teams, problems contacting an inactive team-captain and so on).
Christmas is gone and with easter ahead of us, we decided to take this opportunity and again launch a competition: the bunny race. It will take place at WCG from March 1st to March 23rd (easter monday).
You are cordially invited to join us on this competition!
Here is the link to the race: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/ ... engeId=821

The bigger the team, the better their their computers are when we Boinc em on the the head and run off with them....
I got some more nicorette patches from the chemist yesterday.
but I don't think they sell TSP patches, And NaRyan wuvs his TSP
Although with Micky talking about scratching I think he might have fleas.
So it could be a laugh to join in and though Micky amounst the other teams and watch them run about in a blind panic

hmm.. manager set to 1 day, only 4 hours left on the 2 wu's .. and nothing is downloading ready :S ..
Ive tried a reboot ..
My laptop has enough for 8 days even on a 3 day seting :S
the minute I re-enable rosetta .. 5 tasks ..
SO although we are mid crunch, Ive let Ros run, as I don't want an unused cpu all night ..

Boinc can be a bit thick at times.
If it's the 1st time you have run the project (on that boinc install), it can get a bit mixed up with it's times, you can set to 1 day, but with Boinc's working out of how long stuff is going to take, those 4 hours (cpu time), after Boinc's working out can look like 27 hours (wall clock time)
So boinc thinks 4 = 27, cache = 24, 27-24=3, Boinc don't ask for work for another 3 hours (to keep 24 hours of work...)
It gets a bit smarter after a few days.
And of course Boinc being Boinc it can get that in reverse and send you 27 hours work, when you only wanted 4, or in your laptops case 8 days instead of 3
There is work ok, as I just got a load of Drug and cancer ones

45 credits for 5 hours?
err both of mine were in the 5 hour, and I got 113.2 & 105.2
Mind you WCG falls into my will not do work for rules.
I don't like projects that punnish slower computers.
Out of the 4 results that have credit, I have lost about 70 between 3 of them, due to the fact the credits were awarded based on the faster computer.
So why should I do work for the project, when my slower pootas get punished for being slower, they still done the same work as the faster one.

ROFL so many times I have heard that!!NaRyan wrote:You know since I gave up smoking my health has been terrible! :pukeright:
Funny thing at work at the mo - me and my mate both eat healthy cereal breakfasts, none of the others do, yet we are both ill at the moment.
Blow being healthy - I'm gonna just do what I like when I like and enjoy life!!
