Poll for Mini Crunch 23rd - 25th February 2007
The theme of the crunch as usual for this year so far is which projects do we need to work on for a #1 spot.
If by any chance "the Guantlet" happens to come along then the crunch can soon be dropped
Poll open for 7 days
Crunch would be 23rd Feb - 25th Feb
Its quite a small poll this time around due to various different reasons, some of these are listed below. If any one does want a project adding that I have not included, then send me a message and poll can be altered
Projects worth considering:
CPDN is a climate change project, it is included in the poll, plenty of work available. UBT is currently 4th in UK and needs 4.4 million credits to improve this position.
Einstein@home a physics project, plenty of work available, so included in the poll. UBT is currently 3rd placed UK Team and needs 3.6 million to improve.
PrimeGrid a mathmatical project, plenty of work available, UBT is #2 UK Team and needs 140,000 credits for #1
QMC@Home is a Quantum Chemistry project, plenty of work available and now fixed credits, this is included in the poll. UBT is #2 UK Team and needs 555,000 credits to become #1.
RALPH@home is a test project for Rosetta, it has work every now and then. UBT is #2 UK Team and needs 6,200 credits to be come #1
RCN is a mathematical project, plenty of work available, this is included in the poll. UBT is #2 UK Team and needs 180,000 credits to be come #1
Xtremlab is attempting to improve BOINC, lots of work available so this is included in the poll. UBT is #2 UK Team and needs 2.9 million credits to become #1
Projects not included (reason shown):
B.U.R.P a rendering project that doesn't really have work available so this is not included in the poll
BBC CPDN a climate change project that is soon to finish, sometime this year so this is also not included in the poll as there is no way we would get up to the #1 spot
BelgianBeer@home again is really a test project, work is rare so not included in the poll
LHC@home is another physics project but at the moment they are still setting up the servers following a recent server move, so this is not in the poll
Predictor@home is a protein folding project, its currently testing a new version of WU for Linux & Mac no Windows version (also lots of errors), so for this reason its not included in the poll
SETI Astropulse / Beta has not been included as by the time the crunch starts this will already have been conquered
If by any chance "the Guantlet" happens to come along then the crunch can soon be dropped

If/when a CPDN project wins then if people don't want to do a CPDN WU as they have not got one on their system, then I would say just go for the next project down the list of winning projects.Gary wrote:Them cpdn & bbc wu never seem to complete and they are way too long for a mini crunch more suitable for a marathon.
Very similar to what we would do if the winning project went down over the crunch

Hi all,
Personally, considering the goal is to become the #1 UK Team across every project (and given that it'd be nice to achieve that this year), then I'm up for trying to achieve the easiest target and then next time, do the same for the easiest one then....
My reasoning, is that for now, trying to hit a smaller target is easier and secondly, our membership is currently growing rapidly.
Hence for the crunch that follows this one, we'll most likely have more members then and hence we can attack a larger target more easily if we have more members.
And we'll get more members if we're already moving ahead on the easier to achieve targets....
Comprende?
So, before the crunch, I'm going to start concentrating on RALPH as 6,000 odd credits will be done in a trice and isn't worth "wasting" a whole crunch on....
But that then makes PrimeGrid a good target for the Crunch....140,000 to achieve in three days....hmmmm, toughie !!
regards
Tim

Well, Einstein and Primegrid are neck and neck in the voting at the mo, so I doubt there will be too many upset peeps, I'd better go brush up on my maths then just in case.UBT - Timbo wrote:Hi all,

There's nothing wrong with the Einstein project....but any effort we make (over 3 days) will be nothing compared to the 3.6 million credits we need just to take over 2nd UK spot.... and we need 15 million to take 1st place :shock:Rockinfroggi wrote:Well, Einstein and Primegrid are neck and neck in the voting at the mo, so I doubt there will be too many upset peeps, I'd better go brush up on my maths then just in case.

I understand your reasoning fully and agree the easiest target is the best idea, after all, if we achieve a position move as opposed to just closing the gap on a project then we can all enjoy that warm fuzzy feeling.UBT - Timbo wrote:There's nothing wrong with the Einstein project....but any effort we make (over 3 days) will be nothing compared to the 3.6 million credits we need just to take over 2nd UK spot.... and we need 15 million to take 1st place :shock:Rockinfroggi wrote:Well, Einstein and Primegrid are neck and neck in the voting at the mo, so I doubt there will be too many upset peeps, I'd better go brush up on my maths then just in case.
