I am about to hit a million \o/

Hi all

Can't contain my excitement, after over 9 years (actually I recall it being around 1996 or so I started but I don't know those account details) I have finally got close to hitting 1 million boinc combined scores.

If I leave this system running it should hit the million mark sometime tomorrow, after storming through the WUs with my new graphics card which is eating them at a rate of knots.

I am crunching around 100k points a day and I am at 906,630.72 as I type.

One thing I am a little concerned about is the fact that I am getting massive scores from Collatz Conjecture - I am requesting 4 credits (GPU) and getting around 800. I am not complaining but I hope they don't take them all back when they realise their points system is flawed.

Congratulations Gregory, the first is always the hardest

Nice one Greg - first one is always the memorable one :D

Re the credits, no worries there - the seemingly low figure is a result of the vagaries of BOINC and how it populates some of the account fields for GPU WUs/Data and looks wierd due to its past history based on CPUs.

That credit score of circa 4 would be spot on if its was predicated on actual CPU time used if crunching only (which is what is reflected in that low circa 4 number). Fortunately for all our sanities that number can be ignored for the purposes of credit calculations with GPU WUs. Granted ones are fine, Crunch On .....

Regards

Congratulations Greg :thumbup:

Oh, and I have a feeling that that next million won't take you quite so long.

I know what you mean, I am heading towards my next million rather quickly.

You wait years for one to turn up and then 5 come all at once.
