UK BOINC Team Forum

Hi all

Can't contain my excitement, after over 9 years (actually I recall it being around 1996 or so I started but I don't know those account details) I have finally got close to hitting 1 million boinc combined scores.

If I leave this system running it should hit the million mark sometime tomorrow, after storming through the WUs with my new graphics card which is eating them at a rate of knots.

I am crunching around 100k points a day and I am at 906,630.72 as I type.

One thing I am a little concerned about is the fact that I am getting massive scores from Collatz Conjecture - I am requesting 4 credits (GPU) and getting around 800.  I am not complaining but I hope they don't take them all back when they realise their points system is flawed.

Congratulations Gregory, the first is always the hardest

Nice one Greg - first one is always the memorable one  :D

Re the credits, no worries there - the seemingly low figure is a result of the vagaries of BOINC and how it populates some of the account fields for GPU WUs/Data and looks wierd due to its past history based on CPUs.  

That  credit score of circa 4 would be spot on if its was predicated on actual CPU time used if crunching only (which is what is reflected in that low circa 4 number). Fortunately for all our sanities that number can be ignored for the purposes of credit calculations with GPU WUs.  Granted ones are fine, Crunch On .....

Good work Greg
Those GPUs are wonderful things

Nice  8)

Congratulations Greg  :thumbup:

Oh, and I have a feeling that that next million won't take you quite so long.

I hit my first million \o/

Congratulations, Greg!! Now on to the next :hello1:

Well Done!! :thumbright:  :headbang:  :hello1:  :salute:

I thought at first i'd stop at 1M... Then 2M... But at almost 7M im still going!  :lol:

I know what you mean, I am heading towards my next million rather quickly.

You wait years for one to turn up and then 5 come all at once.
