UK BOINC Team Forum

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

Are we in or not ??? Won a few last time  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
Lots of teams i never seen before , Might be a laugh  :roll:

A few 'big hitters' among that list, if I remember from the Chrimbo Crunch!

Tiss nothing but a scratch  :o

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

I`m up for it if anyone else is.

OK so all other work now running down, is there any particular project we are going to run for WCG or is it a free for all ?

It is a points race, the average points per hour are

AfricanClimate@Home          72
Discovering Dengue Drugs   68
FightAIDS@Home                 36
Help Conquer Cancer           70
Human Proteome Folding 2  49

Being as I'm a credit hog I'll go for the Africa project for a few days.

Anyone want to keep tabs on the progress? I'd do it, but it's time someone else had a go for a change. (Don't all rush at once!)

8 more hours and Im 100% WCG  :D

Ive took FAAH out of the list for now, will re-instate once the hop is won  :wav:

just a few more PG wu's to run down, then ime in for this...

will be 100% and 24/7 before the start time...

ime deaf so did not hear the starting gun...


lets go kick some butt  :roll:




b.

7 wu's to report all lined up

gettin a bit of a 'jump' start on the bunny hop  :D

Put 3 chips on this and should put another 1 on A.S.A.P
(Waiting for new PSU )  :lol:

just added my new dell lappy...

AND ... its a proper dual core 1.9 ... bonus

RUnning down last few SHA, then will be WCG only, for a while....

Oops - forgot completely about this!  I've set everything except WCG to 'no new tasks', so it'll start picking up in a day or so.
:bunny:  :bunny:  :bunny:  :bunny:  :bunny:  :bunny:

Its 1st March, did you all remember to start bunny hopping ?  :lol:

ime hopping along quite nice 24/7


b.

Ive seen work units from 2 hours to 14 on my home pc ..

Some are listed as 19 on the laptop DOH  :?  

 :shock:  

Yup moi remembered
And yeah some of these workunits are long
The drug related one seems to be the quickest (42mins and a 1 hour one), and the Proteome folding one is the longest (one took 19 hours, on my sempron 2800+)

DDD are the quickest ones ,You can select what you want to run on the project profile page .
I now have 4 chips running WCG  so should do about 600 credits a day  :lol:

I take it the Africa ones are the longest?

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

I just got a cancer wu on me p3 800 40 hrs ffs

I got my amd xp2000 working today (new 350w psu from ebay £2.99)
Seems faster than my intel chips,Early days yet claimed 45 credits for 5 hrs but still pending .

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.

Probs cuss the credits for nice chips is cack .so i don't bother
 :lol:  :lol:
Looks like me 3 gig p4's do best on cosmology and the x64 does great on ABC
WCG credits are poor.  :shock:

Weird way of doing it too.
Boinc credits are *7, just to make them equal to the UD prog, err ok

I wonder what would happen to all these "punnish the slow" projects, if all the peeps that owned "slow" pc's left em.
Probably wave bye bye to 75% of their peeps

Grabbed more WCG wu's overnight, so Ive set Ros to no new again

Seems the points have started showing up


all graphs for UBT WCG here http://boincstats.com/stats/team_graph. ... cg&id=6429

Stumbed across a way to make it get more wu's ...

I tried the update button, no joy ...

Changed the time " switch between applications " to 20 minutes , and it took a lot of new wu's in. .. :S ..

Odd, but it worked lol

heh don't think we will win this one
The team ranked #1 at the mo does 11 milion credits per day  :shock:
Mind you they got over 6000+ members

11 million a day ?

We might make second then ehh ?  :lol:  :D

Last i heard we got a million every few days or so  :shock:

11 million toy town credits ? Or are they real boinc ???
Just had a look yeh they are silly WCG points so 1.5 mill aint that good for 6000 japs
24th place for us at the moment .

TSBT are beating us though, waaaaaaaa
And are BUK even doing the WCG thing?
Could not see em on the list

Mind you I'm that doped up on painkillers and antibiotics at the mo, I have problems seeing the door

You`re right about WCG toy town points Micky.
1 BOINC credit is worth 7 WCG points.

So that's...umm...err...carry the six and 23 remainder...roughly...1571428.5714285714285714285714286 BOINC credits per day!

well....were making a nice slow movement up the listings

It is like that sometimes (as with certain family members i know) but give it a  month or 2 and you should start being able to hold your breath for 30 seconds  :lol:  And hopefully get over the colds etc
