The weekly Fastest of Seti@MURC

[XenoSynth]

Yup! I check in every once in a while.
All my clients are finaly running without problems, so my stats are pretty good.

[Jorden]

Just wondering, Xeno, how many clients are that? And on how many PC's/Mac's etc?

Hi Assim,

You think BX Boards perform sooooooooo much better than my AMD 750 Chipset? The Memory performance is somewhat exactly the same...
And the KX-133 does even better in my brothers machine.

Aehm, did i mentioned that Intel is one of SETI's sponsors?

In fact I'm quite happy that it's not even more slower than now, but how about an optimzed client just for the Athlon, like the ones just for Alpha's?

Thanks Martin.

Geez, I leave for a week or so of vacation and miss all the drama. Even though he's stomping my fastest WU time by almost a factor of 2, I'll be the first ( OK maybe not the first ) to stick up for Rags. I've been around a long time here, and Rags is a first rate Murcer. If he says he's using a P3-550E, then I believe him with no questions asked.

Anyway, I freely admit that I'm not using a regular desktop PC to get my WU times. I've said it before, but for the the record I'm running my seti clients on a pair of HP L2000 class servers. These servers have four processors each and 4GB of RAM. The servers are attached to fibre channel disk arrays. I'm using the unix command line client version 2.01 I think (the last version before they changed the client to be silent to std out) compiled for the HP-UX 10.20 OS. If you guys decide to exclude me from the fastest WU rankings, I understand and that's fine with me. I just want to do my part for the team. I didn't get into this for any kind of personal glory, just a little friendly competition. Anyway, I'm glad to see Xeno on the team, along with all the other new members. We could use a few more like him so we could catch back up to Team AnandTech. Somebody needs to make a call down to engineering and tell Scotty we need more power!

I meant to post this a few days ago but the forums were down:

Welcome to the top 10 XenoSynth!

At the rate you are going, you should pass me in about a week.

[Mark F]

Oh sure I bring more units online and I fall from my last 4th place finish in the fastest times(sarcasm intended, for the empathitcly impared). Oh well. An houre and a half slower average time but many more WU per day.

Anyone noticed we are still well below 2 WUs per member per day (And just look at how many the top 20 members post per day). Come on all of you posting 0 per day for the last few days put up 1 or 2 WUs and we might catch up to TeamBoyWonder (TA) and Assimilator1 might have to shut up for a while. (Hey you've been hear long enough for us to know you can take it ;P )

Been too busy to post on the board. but my WUs have been going up. Lost 6 housrs yesterday, as a storm knocked out my power. Not sure when I'll be posting again. Hey, It's not always cheaper to keep 'er. But it'll be good when everything is settled. Mandatory mediation tomorrow, So wish me some luck.

Night all!

SteveC,

Mark has a point: there are quite a few seti@murc-ers that haven't posted a single result over the last few weeks. I could send you a list, and maybe you (being able to get their addresses) could send them a nice e-mail asking them to revive their seti-efforts. How 'bout it?

BTW: SETI's statistics over the last few days are completely bogus. We've completed a lot more WUs than we're being given credit for. Hopefully, they'll catch up in the next few days, and we'll see how we really do in our epic battle with TA.

BTW2: we're doing great in the new members department: 443 at the moment .

BTW3: Mark, I know you're being sarcastic, but I sure hope no-one is taking their slower machines off-line just to get in the top-20 fastest list.

BTW4: way to go XenoSynth! Three (?) weeks and counting

BTW5: that's a lot of BTW's.

[Hecubus]

Good luck Mark.

Quantity, not speed is what we need!
Of course, I'm not in the top 20 fastest so...

I guess Pace3000 had a lucky day (possibly a noisy WU, which gets sent back after a few minutes).

Martin

Lucky day? I just got a new Intel Quantium running Windows 2000 Ultra

Hehe. I've just started caching my WU's so this won't be happening again - but I sure was happy at seeing my name at 1st - and above speed king Rags!

And I always wondered what was going on with those couple of minute WU's - Thanks!

Paul.

PS Don't anybody try to put a table in a quote!

PPS Don't miss out >'s in the table code then blame it on a quote!

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

As you are no doubt aware I achieve these kinds of stats by setiing a lot of PC's. The only thing I can say is that there's a base of ~500 machines varying from P-60 to P3-550. The clients (cmd line) only run during idle periods. I never realy know how many machines are doing my bidding as it varies based on our users. (Oh..., yes I do have permision.)

Number 1 looks good on a resume but my main goal is to get into the top 20 Teams and MURC looks like it can do it.

>>>Assimilator1 might have to shut up for a while. (Hey you've been hear long enough for us to know you can take it ;P )<<<<

Hehe ,glad you added that last bit ,BTW if you did pass us again I wouldn't shut up 'cos I'd be whining & crying instead

>>>You think BX Boards perform sooooooooo much better than my AMD 750 Chipset? The Memory performance is somewhat exactly the same...<<<<

If so then why are people getting better times on a PIII Katami than a equally clocked Athlon?It can't be 'Intel optmisation' because the same is true in memory intensive games.Check this out.
http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1189&p=9

That's just 1 example.

>>>And the KX-133 does even better <<<

Agreed their ,1 of our members shaved off around 20 mins off average WU times on a KX133 board

I knew that Intel is a major sponsor

Don't think me anti AMD BTW ,I'm building a Athlon 700 KX 133 system for my father soon.
Oh yeah & he's considering the RT 2000 for it as well uh oh ,I wonder what the latest is on that ,I guess I'd better check out the other sections for an answer to that

BTW2 that Athlon 700 will be for ME under TA

BTW3 have you tried the non Intel CLi client?
Maybe that's better for Athlon systems?




------------------
I guess I won't recruit for my team here TA

[Helevitia]

I'm curious, how do you check the fastest speed someone is getting if they have multiple computers like me? Or is it just an average of all of there computers? The reason I'm asking is because I just hooked up a PIII 700 w/ 256MB housed by a Compaq SCSI Raid server I got it going about 10:30ish or so this morning and when I checked it again at 3:30ish it was already done with it's first WU! Now I have 5 machines going and I'm getting ready to drag my old Pentium 90 out just for grins. I'm starting to twitch about WU's. I need more WU's! All I work with is computers, now I just need to figure out how to take ovef all of them! I'm officially a WU-aholic. WU this! I WU you! WuHuu! Wuking hard on it OK, OK, I'll stop.....

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Even though the time per WU is averaged over all WU done, I guess the faster machines contribute more to the average time per WU (biasing the average time down) since they have completed more WU than the slower machines.

[MegaManX4]

Assim,

Yes I tried the "non_intel" commandline. It helps to get from 6 and a half hours to only 6 hours.
But this client is manly for cyrix and 486'ers, not optimized for Athlon.
Yes, I'm deprimated (wonder if this word excists like i wrote it ).
