UK BOINC Team Forum

Hi all,

Looks like we'll be passed by "Einstein at work" soon (if it hasn't happened already !).

This is quite a rare occurence, as normally it's us passing other teams...

They've been coming up on the rails for some time and with a RAC of over 700,000 credits per day, they look like being serious contenders for a Top 10 placing in the world rankings.



Our RAC of just under 200,000 per day isn't quite enough for us to keep them at bay, so we'll just send them "best wishes" as they pass us. Maybe we'll get close to them some time in the future....?

regards

Tim

Hi all,

Yup - they've now passed us and pushed us down a place.

Shame we couldn't give them a fight...but with a RAC of over 700k per day, we'd have needed a miracle to respond......just one of those things I'm afraid....

Mind you:  If Einstein runs out of WUs, then we'd be back in with a chance  :D

Tim

About 90% of that RAC is all just from one user He has the highest RAC in the world by a long way

Looks like we would need every single team member on it, to the detriment of all the other projects so looks like we are either going to have to forget it and wait for a long over due miracle or you are going to have to buy more shares in Hobnobs.

Do we have 700 volunteers out there with an RAC over 1000?

My rac should go up a little next week, when my new cpu arrives  8)

Might not need 700 !

Here's the plan: We raid Intel and AMD and get all their Quad and Octo core CPU's, then get over to Asus/Gigabyte/Supermicro and grab some of their mobo's, then a quick trip over to Crucial and grab plenty of DDR2 sticks. In each case, we plead poverty and they give us everything we need free of charge.

We then head over to a decent hosting centre who has plenty of aircon and uninterruptable power and ask them to give us mega bandwidth and free power.

We then set up RAM drives on each assembly of CPU/mobo/RAM and overclock them all by at least 20%.

And then we join up to every project and let rip.


Ooops - just woken up....seem to have been dream-typing.....

Sorry to burst your bubble but I've tried that one every night in my sleep hoping to beat that bloomin Timby bloke on RAC but I still wake every morning credit poor and a little greener.
My next move is to become Network Administrator for IBM.

OK, you become Admin for IBM - as long as you let me be admin for this:



The BlueGene/L located here:
http://www.llnl.gov/asc/computing_resou ... _home.html

A mere 131,072 CPUs......and 32768 GB of memory !!!! (but that's only 256Mb of memory per CPU  :oops: )

Luvly jublly.

"is a revolutionary, low-cost machine"

Low cost in my book would be under £500, what are the chances?

make them an offer, ya never know  :D

OK Tim, the jobs yours, but you better check Crucial has 131,072 sticks of 1GB in stock first.

Boinc@Poland have some odd stats they added 12 million on 12/03 and 5 mill on 16/03 any more like that and they would pass us but I cannot see on their individual projects any single day with figures anything like that?
Looking at the totals I suppose if they were crunching SETI and Rosetta as a different team and merged that would do it in which case they should remain well behind us.

Looks like it's a number of teams merging to form a "superteam":
