Currently in RAC we are 18th with 86,293.69 RAC value.
Now I reckon 14K extra should be easy peasy - so let’s do it. A team target for September to get to 100K RAC for the month. I reckon I can come up with a few goodies for those who come onto the SETI SEPT party I’ll be at enough trade shows to have so many giveaway gadgets, you never know one of them maybe useful !!!
Probably something else with stats we can do - so name it and let’s get the crunching party started !!
Personally, I’ll be trying once again to get to that 10K points daily figure, it’ll take a little effort in keeping the machines tip top at all times, but I reckon I’ll do it
New office server coming on 30th so an opportunity to get some of the WS back crunching. Unfortunately I’m away from 6th September for 3 weeks so doubt I’ll have time
I’ll trickle a few in - persuade 'er 'indoors that more machines on means we don’t have to have the central heating on. With the nights starting earlier, ect ect…
few boxes in, one was folding but i’ll do seti for the team, + this is the first time i managed a smooth install of boinc without the normal i give up and keep folding
bully
nice one - let’s see those numbers start to creep up
plans to add the 2.8 xeon that I’ve had idle since moving house into the office this week, no excuses on this one, purely putting in there as a cruncher :chuckle:
time for a belated review of the efforts - it would seem we need to raise the bar as that one was WAY too easy, we got over the 100K within the first 8days of the effort, and we kept it there ALL month.
Our current RAC is 107K, and still it seems to be rising, the Folding team is looking long term, so to not get in the way too much - how about raising the bar to 125K RAC by Christmas. Recruiting efforts, additional winter heating whatever, but we seem to have got the urge to crunch
Aside from a new challenge - a BIT “way to go team” (can you tell I’m in the usa this week;)) and a yeeehaaaa
indeed there is - a most brilliant prize I’ve just put in for next years hardware budget for the dev team :chuckle:
Me and jHorner are likely to split between us the 8x2u dual core2Ghz 4Gb ram machines for seti IF the budget is approved :xfinger: They are that spec as that is what I determined as minimum spec for our product, so we are testing a cluster version with proper hardware
Folding will go onto my gfx card once I get a replacement HD for the 30Gb sys disk that failed a few weeks back.
I’ll be at enough trade shows to have so many giveaway gadgets, you never know one of them maybe useful !!!
