As long as we be making pirate progress, all be good :pirate: :)

The Pirate barge keeps going... ... Cypress will be boarded tomorrow

However Paul, do we want to try and get as many projects for Anguilla in the top 100 as possible as well as getting the island as high as possible. If so may i suggest that after the Pogs skynet challenge is over we get a kick on in the Lattice Project and stick in a few thousand to get that up the list. What do you think ?

I'm quite happy following orders captain
I have to say of late I've been a bit of a trophy hunter but I could focus on my countries needs a bit more.
I will preface this with the caveat that I don't have a tremendous amount of cpu power - my odroid plus 3 cores on my pc which might have to reduce to 2 soon
I'll move to lattice after pogs and we can see how we get on cap'n :pirate:

Loving your pirate emoticons/gifs?
The ship one is amazing

Won't take us very long to move that one into the top 100

Have we just dropped 4 places and 80 million credits!?
Cyprus now looks a bit further away

We just lost another 100M Dropped to 71....change tack, we're heading for Indonesia Forget the lattice project, more power scotty Haven't got a clue but the numbers appear correct now for our credit

That's Lattice sorted anyway. Should catch Indonesia in a week or so

Nice one cap'n what project you be thinking needs looked at after pogs?

I presume the credit drop was the last of Mega's credit being repatriated

I presume so, the credits seem to be right now for the two of us. Next, well we be pirates so go for the shiny stuff, unless you have other preferences then shout out, we'll have a parlez, then go collect the loot, yarrr

And now we have our own little hide out , guess I better write an introduction !

I noticed you've been a busy pirate!
Can't help thinking you just keep creating even more work for yourself though

Work is what my company pays me to do.... no fun in that... besides If I have to vanish into the jungle for some secret pirate mission I'm sure my 2nd in command can keep things ticking over

Nae pressure then

If you've got a spare gpu slot and some cash I noticed scan.co.uk are doing an 7990 for £400 with free shipping. That would expedite our campaign to expand our :pirate: empire

I have 3 gpu's running in orac, and 3 gpu's running in caro. caro does have a free slot but I can't get a gpu to run successfully in it. I did have 4 gtx 660 ti's in it at one point, but couldn't keep the system stable. I suspect the asus mobo can't provide enough power to the 4 pcie slots when they are running flat out on Boinc. Have shipped some ribbon cables over from Hong Kong with the intention of building some powered risers which hopefully will sort this out. Then for a while orac will have a gtx 650 running in it until another 7970 finds it way onboard and caro will have the 4 gtx 660ti's.
Guess after that I have to build Aroc but Orca does want some more android droids as well
Will have to look into the new nVidia and ATI cards but I suspect at the moment £ / crunch the 7970 is still the best with the 660ti still 2nd. the newest cards are probably best with single card systems but not when you start running multiple cards, as the newer cards have far higher power requirements,the benefits are not reflected in the increased output.

I think with a gear list like that it I can safely say that your more than pulling your weight in the team

It also looks like it'll be the next generation cards when they drop down to a 22nm architecture - or wherever they head - that we'll start to see some useful power consumption drops, fingers crossed.
The new amd R290 and 290X series both look like they draw more than the old 7970s which isn't really progress on that front.

Maybe we just need to keep our fingers crossed that parallella finally gets going and with the 64 core epiphany chip, and that someone ports it for boinc use!

We just overtook Haiti in Seti for #173. Ghana up next. 7 Gpu's and I am lucky to get over 20K a day. The credit levels are abysmal

I have to admit that I've reconfigured to run half seti and half Dirt. Sorry I just couldn't cope with my card only making a few thousand points per day
I'll have to look into getting the Intel gpu working and then stick it onto seti more long term I think

No apologies necessary. I have 4 left on prime . This is only happening until collatz is back, then the gloves are off and it's credit time, up the world table. GPU's are not for this crazy level of cpu credit.

Since Seti is still by far and away our worst performing project, Orac will be back on it to try for some respectability ( though I think that will be in the VERY long haul ) Currently we are 171st behind Wallis And Futuna Islands which I had to google http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallis_and_Futuna

I have been running a few units through but as has been said the credit is almost non existent
If the scheduler would allow me to set run percentages I would configure for 25% Seti to allow me to generate credit elsewhere....
I wonder if a droid on linux would make a useful contribution
