My birthday was 2 weeks ago, but that's ok. It's a party!

I'm in the process of cleaning up the mess (Boinc instances) I created during the birthday challenge, so my output will be a little lower for a couple days as my machines need to qualify with WCG again. I should be back in full force in a couple days or so.
Cheers

Wow - I am dropping down the Team rankings with these heavy-hitting guests I don't mind AT ALL though
Thanks for helping us out on WCG guys

With your 1 table/page rule it is a good thing we are at the bottom of this page!
The last 12 hour stats shows we did 924k (1.85M/day). In 24 hours we should be sitting at 103 and it'll be time for another Table

And 105th Now! It is.
scopes Birthday guests sure know how to party.
And Neumanniums defectors are still with Byteball. So looking good.
At this rate I reckon that we are in with a chance of making 100th on 30th November, St Andrew’s Day.

According to Bstats the last 12 hours we did 1.014M - WOW!!!! We are only 500k out of 103rd so on tomorrow's 1200 UTC update we'll move up 2 positions.
Get ready for another table Alez
The guys from XS are really boosting us up. Impressive considering VietOZ isn't up to speed yet!

Very disappointing. I'll get over it I suppose
Hmmm, captain of a WCG team on Page 1 of rankings! I just got over it. And, as you know, we are working on something to give back.

103rd Now!
Just over 2M since the last update.
And the #100 team is just 6.6M ahead and moving at a mere 50K per day.
Time to switch back from LHC & fully rejoin the WCG ass-kicking!

Yup - my machines are gradually finishing off their LHC downloaded WU and reverting back to WCG. TBH, I simply aborted some of the queued Theory jobs because nearly all of them failed (after occupying 24 CPUs for an appreciable amount of time )

2.2M yesterday! We'll make 101st on the next update. If our friends stay with us make the top 100 in 48 hours

Table time
That was from the 1800 UTC update so more credits to come in 3 hours.
EDIT: it looks like our current run rate is 2.4M/day - amazing!

Well done everyone!
And well done to the Captain! Clearly a change of management was what was needed: The last guy never got anywhere with this.
Special thanks to Bryan and the guys from XtremeSystems: We could have done it without you but not nearly so quickly or in such style. We owe you.
And not forgetting the silent stalwarts plugging away over the decades.

#272 Re: WCG team position
Actually once we’ve got up just one or two more places staying top 100 will not be that tricky.
Our current RAC of 1.4M is 15th highest.
The 100th highest is just 99K.
Just a few months ago we’d have struggled to maintain even that. But now that we’ve got bigger better hardware, you’re here & I’ve finally found Linux I reckon that once the dust has settled we could easily sustain an RAC of 200K (currently 63rd highest). This would keep us moving slowly up & leave resources free for FB & other challenges.
Whatever, it’s looking so much better than 2008 when we got there only to realise that holding it meant abandoning all other priorities.

[mention]Megacruncher[/mention] - does that mean you are now one of those Linux snobs?
That was a fun run and I'm really glad to see you guys get there. You've been scratching and clawing your way for a long time now. As you say, maintaining the top 100 is a lot easier than getting there initially.
There is at least one fast mover, CharityEngine3, coming up behind us to the tune of 7M/day. There are probably others but by the time they catch you your position should keep you on the 1st page of the stats.
CONGRATS TSBT!

Glad to see TSBT in top 100. I try to spread news and hopefully more people start crunching for BOINC in our team
#276 Re: WCG team position
Now that the big push is over I need to drop one of the new machines for a while. Ever since the night I 1st brought it up I've been running Linux on a external USB HDD. Time to do the real Linux install on the internal M2 SSD I haven't even put the side panels on it yet.

#278 Re: WCG team position
When I got it to post, I setup the BIOS and installed Win10. Then I spent 1 hour running Prime95 to make sure the cooling was working. From that moment on it has been crunching WCG on the external USB HDD. Sometimes you just gotta do whatcha gotta do.

CharityEngine is a collection of many people who "pool" their machines together to get paid. It is the same as the GridCoin pools. On other projects, CharityEngine, is actually part of team GridCoin. On WCG they belong to ByteBall since it pays better than gridcoin.

That’s okay then!
I don’t actually see any imminent threats behind us. We’ll be 99th tomorrow. Other gains will follow, even if only core members remain, and soon we shall be safe!
As for becoming a Linux snob. I doubt if I’ll ever have the technical knowledge to be a proper badass hardcore Linux geek. Also I’m never going to be a Windophobe. Even if my farm is mainly Linux powered from now on there will always be a few Microsoft machines in the house. Just like every other house on the planet. There’s a lot to be said for ubiquitous mediocrity over esoteric excellence. Remember the VHS vs Betamax fight?

Boinc gladiators run dual boot systems
#288 Re: WCG team position
[mention]Megacruncher[/mention] - you really don't need to be a Linux whizkid to run BOINC. BOINC is BOINC whether you are on Linux or Windoze, they work exactly the same. The only difference is where the files are stored. /var/lib/boinc-client vs c:/program data/boinc. Other than that they operate the same, app_config, app_info, cc_config etc are all the same. In fact you can copy them from your Windows installation and use them in Linux.
If you setup your machines as dual boot then you can have the best of both worlds. Run them under Windows when that is needed or run them under Linux when that is more efficient.
Not only do I remember the VHS vs Betamax fight I remember 8 track tapes vs cassettes
