Pirates Ahoy!

Well I was wondering why the above processor had only managed to process 4 units in the space of time it took a dual Xeon @ 1.6GhZ to do 34.

Then I found out I'd turned the PC off to install windows updates

If we carry on at this rate, we'll catch the Planetary Society soon!

a most excellent response from OcUK... the battle may be lost, but, but...

well, you know we'll be back...

Now that the smake has cleared and the scury ridden sea-dogs have admitted defeat, I will be running down my cached WU's and returning to seti.
I have 5 machines with 10 days cache on them, so that will still give a bump in credit...
Until those pesky pirates try again...

We'll have no talk of ship jumping just yet please. Remember that last time round we took a time to get properly hull down over the horizon. We need to ensure they will be properly becalmed before our fleet put's back to port.

I'd encourage people to hang around a while. The reason is simple. If people leave en masse we'll be back where we started within a week or two.

I'm not asking people to hang around forever, but we shouldn't capitulate so easily.

Yeah, we haven't won the battle yet and even when we do those pirates won't just disapeer.

Goodspeed(TPF) · 10 Mar 2009 at 14:59

Good form.

Good game there Brits.

If we're going to be beaten over and over again I couldn't think of a finer bunch to be beaten by. Wait, that didn't exactly sound right.

But you know what I mean.

Congrats........for now.

10 days at full production should see us well clear - I for one will be sticking around for at least another 100k
Be nice to get into the top 50 - and page one of zerker team stats page

Goodspeed(TPF) · 10 Mar 2009 at 15:22

It is done.

Love that read more link - the americans are lapping this story up

My Linux SMP has a dodgy A2 Core problem (keeps binning units, known problem) so I shall stick with this Rosetta as my main DC project for a few months. I'll fold a unit or 2 a week for FaH just to keep in the foldy chaps good books.

But, some new watercooling goodies coming in the next few days so may have a day or two downtime whilst new CPU and NB blocks are fitted.

If only they could see my PC, reservoir and pump on a piece of plywood and cables everywhere.........

I wanna see. Throw up some pics.

Pumpkinstew · 10 Mar 2009 at 16:30

Good job everyone.

I feel a bit guilty that this all coincided with the SIMAP work this month and those WU's only cleared on Sunday.

Back to 3cores of Rosetta now though.

WoZZeR · 10 Mar 2009 at 16:50

OK, bunged a piccie on my FlickR page:

Enjoy.

EDIT: It is a work in progress and shall soon be much more stylish........

platypus · 10 Mar 2009 at 16:57

Nice

MGP · 10 Mar 2009 at 17:05

I think some pirate must have nicked the hull

WoZZeR · 10 Mar 2009 at 17:17

It doesn't float.

The CPU block cracked and flooded it out a while back, hence the lashup, CPU on air for another week or so.
