*** OcUk 2011 Distributed Computing Competition ***

I've got three machines churning through Rosetta@home now. Unfortunately they're all a bit puny.

2x E3400's (2 cores each no Hyperthreading, celeron branded)

1x i5 M430 @80% (so my laptop doesn't melt)

Looking through the news for Rosetta it really looks like it's a worthy choice for crunching.
 
I'm crunching Einstein (with the odd pause for SIMAP) anyway so consider me 'In it too Win it'

Anyone having trouble getting jobs from SETI, you do know you can set up multiple projects on one BOINC client, don't you?:p

Anyway best of luck everyone.

Puny or not they're helping the cause and thats all that matters :)

Many thanks ocuk, is it sad that I want the T-shirt to go with my master of ovrrcloclking one

Yes it is now you ask :p;), as soon as i opened the box i wanted it kinda snappy it is - doh :rolleyes::D

In it to win it

Hi All - If i spotted this eariler I would have been in from day one.
Oh well should still get 14 days plus if I don't mess anything up.

Off to read the sticky as I'm sure things have move on again

Evening Mr shadowscotland, duly entered sah and the very best of luck to you :)

Start trolling through your address books me fellow crunchers had hoped to have more "in it to win it" by now, we can't have it looking like a swotters club at the library we need new blood too !!! :)
 
Bugger. The 5 year old borged server cruncher has decided to meet it's maker. The fans are all spinning but it doesnt boot or even beep. I think I might struggle now to show a 14 day output. :(
 
Tell you what I'll go in it for shogun Total War but not for the hardware, or if I win the hardware I would like to defer it to the person who came after me if that makes sense. :confused:

Im with Biffa on this, but for STW as I don't need the hardware so would be happy to give it to someone else if that was OK??

Am i ok to list your offer as prize number 3 etc, must put up the full prize list today so people can see whats what wot wot!:)
 
Hi Guys, you're doing a stand up job, love to keep popping on & catching up with all the latest chit chat. Have a couple of machines that do a little work in the background for the cause, not a major player but every little counts.

Hey, if I'm not in it I wont win it...."In it to win it".
 
I just wonder if this shouldn't be extended a couple of days to the 18th seeing as Seti@Home has been so **** with handing out WU's, and effectively today was the last day to join up to get 14 days worth of crunching.

Plus we could get it promoted in the OcUk daily news on the main web site and get it tweeted maybe in the OcUk tweet.

Sounds like a plan, looking at it i couldn't have picked a worse period to get a seti comp going but alas tis done now. Yup sure we can work in an extension just let me know what you think is best am open to suggestion :)

Could not have put it better myself "every little counts" and is much appreciated, duly entered and the very best of luck to you sah :D
 
I am not too late to be In it to win it am I? I only just spotted this thread as I don't read the forums much - I run MW and there is not much MW activity in here and as we know no one ever reads the stickys :D This sounds like good fun anyway, maybe I could even be tempted back to SETI from MW :D
