The dip in the middle is when I slacked in SETI because of another project. Back to full speed now though

Marine Iguana · 29 Sep 2009 at 18:49

Hmm

Happy · 29 Sep 2009 at 19:20

Evens

Erm....

I think I've upset the graphs lol

dekez · 29 Sep 2009 at 19:59

Oh dear

It should be heading back up again now, but not much past 6000.

I need quad cores!

shadowscotland · 29 Sep 2009 at 21:39

lol - Oh no what have I started

and are these Mr.B clever graphes that update themselve with an F5 each day...

Stuart Gibson · 29 Sep 2009 at 22:20

OK, here's mine...

On 15th/16th I got a big boost from Astropulse.

picnic · 29 Sep 2009 at 22:32

And cos I don't want to be left out

Mine is

I stupidly didn't delete the astropulses in my queues - accounts for yesterday's dip I think.

SimonB · 29 Sep 2009 at 22:51

Me slacking for a few years,

and more recently,

The dip at the start of the month was a combination of no work and me stripping the machine down.

Cheers, Simon.

Show off!!!

Haven't done SETI in years

The one that impressed me the most was:

It's fairly obvious when people shifted over to join in with the gauntlet!

Lovely guys, but we just dropped a position and are slowing down on RAC. What can we do?

What! Nooooooooo! I might get my i7 up and running this week so might help a bit

I know with mine a batch of 1200wu's didn't get updated in time to make tonights count due to the scheduled outage, hopefully others are in the same position so the situation may reverse tomorrow.

Cheers. Simon.

PS. Having swapped out my dodgy 295 it may be able to be repaired in time to still be of use plus I snuck a couple of surprises into the i7 machine I used at work on occasion for Rosetta, their output should show up soon.

I might throw some money at the problem and buy a suitable graphics card, though I'm still undecided at the moment.

If I manage to get a broken capacitor replaced on my GTX295 I could lend it to you while you make up your mind on a permanent choice

Cheers, Simon.

I'd said a long time ago that I didn't want to buy new hardware just for crunching. I don't think I'll be changing that, so I'm stuck with the closest thing to a CUDA card being a passively cooled 7300 or whatever it was.

PS - It's just as well all the graphs get cached automatically isn't it. Wouldn't want to be stealing cycles from SETI@home now.

It's not so much the Graphs stealing cycles I fancy a game of COH but don't dare turn Boinc of for an hours fix with the Seti police (Biffa) checking up on us

Marine Iguana · 30 Sep 2009 at 01:15

I had mine off for about 2hrs today whilst playing Shift :eek:

Except that the server that does all the graphs is part of the gauntlet team. More graphs = less WUs*

* The daily updates steal several orders of magnitude more cycles than the graphs do
