Wordwide position by RAC down 1 to 10th

The POHMIE's passed us.

Posted: **Wed May 27, 2009 3:34 pm**

We blasted through 330,000,000 sometime in the last couple of hours.

and :wav: for 28th Now!!!!

Well, the economy has caught up to us and we're slowing down, now producing just under a million a week! That said, we've passed 340,000,000 only eight days after 330.

Hurrah for 340 million! :wav:

As for

we're slowing down, now producing just under a million a week

Hardly! Even if you mean day rather than week, and I'm sure you do, it is, happily, not true. :) There were just 2 days in the last month when we crunched less than a million with our worst day being 994K. No not that bad really.

Posted: **Thu Jun 04, 2009 10:53 pm**

Im afraid I am also part of the slow down.

My system had boinc disabled due to heat as my room is far to small to curtail the heat output of the core i7 and the 2 x 260's. Even at stock speeds and no gpu crunching the system was getting dangerous during the day when i wasnt here. The problem appears to be the chipset rather than the cpu so i need to work some bits out there.
(the chipset was hitting nearly 70 C)

I have bought an air con unit for when im in but i can't justify the bill for running it 24/7 when im not...

Might have to ditch the nice looking lian li v1110 case for something less pleasing to look at but full of holes and fans. Bit of a bugger though as that case was over 200 notes.

Posted: **Fri Jun 05, 2009 12:54 am**

Holes and fans are what you want. And some bad weather. It's quite cold in Edinburgh tonight so at last I can get the full farm back, full on.

Actually meant 10million a week. We had got to 10mill every six days (peaked at 1.6mill a day) but have dropped to every eight (or so) days now.

Don't get me wrong, this is still a fabulous throughput (which puts shame to my meager contribution) and I was more going for 'the signs are there but we're beating the crisis' rather than 'we're slipping'.

Ach, nevermind. Well done eevryone for whatever effort they can give! :)

Posted: **Fri Jun 05, 2009 8:23 pm**

Not sure what to spend on the case there but I can say the Antec 900 and 1200's are impressive on the cooling as I'm sure others are.

Full out in a single bedroom with no cooling the chipset on my i7 with 2x 295's stays at 45C with the Antec set to max fan speed

Posted: **Fri Jun 12, 2009 9:13 pm**

A huge daily update of 2.2 million saw us shatter 350,000,000 another eight days after 340.

I see Merlyn has made a new personal record today - congratulations! :blob: :blob: :blob:

Any talk of a slow down is strictly relative and the fact is that we are surging ahead ever upwards.

Top 25 here we come!

Posted: **Sat Jun 13, 2009 8:21 pm**

Now that really is impressive... second record in two days and over 2 mil in a day !

Posted: **Sun Jun 14, 2009 1:37 am**

Having sunk to a 60 day "low" of 17th by RAC we have, over the last four days, climbed back up to 13th!

We are even UK #1 by RAC. 8)
Truly, we arra peepil! :wav:

Posted: **Tue Jun 16, 2009 12:24 am**

27th Now!!
We totally stomped Team MacNN to move up yet another place. :wav:
We are also up to 11th by RAC.

5 days 10 millions.

360,000,000 NOW!

Posted: **Mon Jun 22, 2009 9:01 am**

A tad belated (5 days = 12 million!) but we've busted the
370,000,000 mark now. :)

Magic!

Got to love those ATI cards.

That really is insane crunching!

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2009 10:43 pm**

I see that BOINC.Italy has noticed someone a cweeping up on 'em...

Ducati 749

... more like a thundering stampede really and they've noticed it for some time which is why they've been hiking up their RAC to over 1M in the last few weeks....

By the way... is 400M on the 4th of July intentional or just a coincidence ?

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2009 12:54 am**

We are an unstoppable Juggernaut - 8th in the world by RAC.

And, by Temujin's stats at least it's a case of 380,000,000 Now!
Strange, it seems like it took us less than 4 days to rack up another 10 million!

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2009 1:50 am**

Yes it seems BOINC.Italy are planning to buy out Europes supply of ATI 4770

as they don't use alot of electricity

They missed some that are in the post to me :)

Posted: **Fri Jun 26, 2009 10:22 pm**

An unprecedented 26th in the world was acheived today!
:wav:

Posted: **Fri Jun 26, 2009 10:26 pm**

can't wait for top 25. there is something about being before the repeated titles on boincstats that i like.

Posted: **Fri Jun 26, 2009 10:43 pm**

If we can hold our current daily output we should go 5th by RAC very soon.

I have replaced my nVIDIA cards with ATI today so hopefully that will see a futher increase (once I can work out how to flash an ASUS board I accidently booted with the update BIOS USB stick installed when it decided to fail and erase the BIOS completely DOH)

Posted: **Fri Jun 26, 2009 11:14 pm**

use the asus bois recovery on the drivers cd that came with the board. dont plug any other drive in but the optical though to make sure it boots from it.

Posted: **Mon Jun 29, 2009 4:57 pm**

Very shortly after yesterdays daily update we blasted through 390,000,000!
We're currently sitting on something in excess of 392million!

:wav:

Posted: **Mon Jun 29, 2009 6:07 pm**

Looks like Einstein is back on-line today and, judging from the forum messages, CPDN should get the credit script working tonight so there will be a big catch up CPDN credits tomorrow....

400M and 25th place are on the horizon or have I got the binoculars on the wrong way round

Posted: **Tue Jun 30, 2009 1:13 am**

CPDN produced the goods with a very handy 153K update.

400 M will be ours by Friday. 25th will be ours by 4th July. :) 8)

Best of all, if we keep this up we will be UK #1 well before Xmas. The gap between us has shrunk, according to their own stats to less than 99 million!

Even if we only erode that by 500K per day we will make it.

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2009 6:04 pm**

Looks like world top 25 has moved out some I take it Italy have upped the ante.

Yep! a most valiant effort I would say they celebrated overtaking 1M RAC on the 13th of June with a big meeting in Bologna. And they have maintained it ever since... Unfortunately it will probably not be enough to save them... 8)

... If anyone wants to send a message of encouragement and wish them happy holidays! I can translate it an put it on their board....

(no, I'm not competitive... honest!)

By the way I think we made over 400M.... or shouldn't I have said that ?

[comment from moderator: Yes but you should have said it as 400,000,000 Now!!! ]

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:02 pm**

Indeed 401,656,565.75 is upon us.

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:54 pm**

Actually 25th place will at worst be delayed until the Weekend.

Yes some fraternal greeting would be very appropriate. Nothing too brutally triumphalistic obviously - we reserve that for Team Scotland.

Feel Free to act as TSBT ambassador to Boinc.Italy

Soon we shall need ambassadors to Belgium, Holland & China too.

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2009 11:02 pm**

well if its an all expenses paid trip i'll take one of them

Posted: **Fri Jul 03, 2009 4:46 pm**

... er, sorry about that I was trying to whisper the number... thought we were trying to cweep up on someone...

Will send message this weekend in English and Italian - and post the link.

Posted: **Fri Jul 03, 2009 8:09 pm**

An Italian puddy tat?

Not sure people would like it if we changed to Team Sylvester :)

If we keep up yesterdays daily output we would go 4th by RAC.

EDIT: Looks like we may move up 1 in global RAC on the next update to 6th.

thank you for posting in our forum

we have just few questions:
- who is Merlyn?

- is he a real person? (does he have hands and ears and everything?)
- is he The Stig?

not me.

Some say he only understands input in C++
Some say he only knows 2 facts about Ducks and both of these are wrong
All we know is he crunches faster on our custom built Mainframe than any other cruncher

Our RAC is now nearly 3 million per day
