Milkyway@home Challenge

Starts tonight at 12pm

Currently 20 teams participating including us. We are currently ranked world no.2 for RAC so we should do well regardless.

Not sure if it's worth putting my nvidia cards on it, I know ATi is king on that project.

Need to get my other 7970 onto MW. PSU does not seem to have enough juice and cuts out. It runs collatz fine though :confused:

I'm currently running poem@home + PSP on my 3770k rig and it's pulling just 276W, If I switch from poem to GIMPS it then pulls over 400w :eek:

Maybe it's the case with milkyway being more power hungry than collatz.

Had to happen right now. Just lost my HD7950. RMA is raised but I doubt I'll get the replacement within 6 days

1090T & HD5770 still working though.

I don't think I can match the #1 team :eek:

I had the possibility of another 500K but couldn't get it going in time before I had to go overseas. Challenge will be over by the time I get back

They were like that with the GPU challenge, but we (I say we, ahem) are in a very respectable 2nd, and you're 9th and Phil's 3rd out of 718 users :eek:

Very well done chaps.

We ended up third. Astronomy.Ru increased output quite a bit towards the end. Still, our rac seems to be slowly increasing which is nice
