No change at the top, think that's pretty much set now even at this early stage (unless of course someone heads up to Stan's flat and does something unspeakable to his crunchers). There's at least two or three other battles going on elsewhere. All good fun.

Rich is doing tomorrow's stats alongside the news.

* = week 2 cruncher - points doubled

Looks like someone new got a 622-pointer. If that finished inside 24 hours, that's damn good going. Unfortunately, it looks like someone else new got an EUE. Hope that overclock didn't go too far. Top two ought to get a wakeup call from Mr. Cannot-Configure if that production continues.

More surprises tomorrow no doubt.

 

[Berserker]

Might have to retire at least one cruncher. 11.30PM and it's 29C in here with the aircon on full.

 

[Berserker]

Well, I just murdered the A/C. I'll put it back together in the morning and see if it works properly. If it does, I'm OK. If not, off they go.

 

[Berserker]

Thanks Rich. I (and my PCs) appear to be melting. Certainly going down the tables anyway.

 

[Berserker]

I've got it saved too - just being lazy.

 

[Berserker]

I just made a slight edit to one of them for you. Honesty pays.

And we seem to have ended up with two crunchers on the same points. Not that I care much as they're both mine.

 

[Berserker]

so are we allowed to see the vital statistics of this beast?

450MHz P3, hence the name. BlueGeneL has a lot to answer for. Just imagine it, one of the fastest supercomputers in the world thrashed by a measly old P3 running deadlineless work.

 

[Berserker]

I may cancel one of folding services once its WU has finished and try and speed up one of the bigger WU's to get it to finish before the cut off point, if thats allowed?

Do what you will, as long as you don't break the already stated rules.

 

[Berserker]

I'm away to gawk at the shuttle launch. Stats mileage may vary.

Edit - looks like there was no-one around to collect them. Sorry.

Will pick up tomorrow. It just adds a little suspense to the end.

 

[Berserker]

Yup, providing the weather doesn't 'get' me (shouldn't unless the UPS decides not to like me again).

I'm a bit torn here, one of my crunchers is starting to sound like a klaxon it's fans are working so hard. Either I open the window to cool things down and let rain in, or I close the window and live with the klaxon, or I turn off said klaxon.

Heaven only knows what would have happened had I been running it with the full 4x HT clients.

 

[Berserker]

Praise the Lord, he hath relented. Taking the opportunity while I can to force some cool air in here.

 

[Berserker]

And just like buses, you get none for two days then two come along at once...

Congrats to the whisky drinker for making it back to the top. Can the cereal cruncher crunch his way to the top, or can an inability to configure result in configuring for the top? Find out in your final installment of the OcUK cruncher slug-out!!!

 

[Berserker]

I've got a few finishers coming in today. No idea what they're worth though.

 

[Berserker]

I had three WUs that nearly didn't make it.

Luckily I spotted them and I think they will be OK. Phew.
