Mixie · 14-06-2001 9:40pm

Perhaps someone should consider setting up a Boards.ie group for:

http://www.ud.com/home.htm

Its a cancer research project, similar in style to Seti@Home.

ok, I've gone and joined. Where's everyone else?????

Q

SickBoy · 15-06-2001 2:08pm

People will come, oh yes! People will come...

Quorthon · 15-06-2001 2:16pm

Maybe we can get some serious stomping going Sickboy.

I was in OCUK's team for lack of a serious Irish team, but the fun they have trying to catch other teams etc is great.

Shinji, how are you managing to complete units in half the time as me ?

4) Shinji 46 1516 hr 23 min 32 hr 57 min 54.7 sec
5) TinCool 20 1318 hr 50 min 65 hr 56 min 33.0 sec

I'm running it on 3 pcs. One's a p3-650, one's a celeron700 and the other is a crappy p2 something or other. My average time on a unit on the p3-650 along is always 40-50 hours. I'll have to go out and buy a 1.4ghz athlon to get my unit time down

SHADOW · 15-06-2001 4:08pm

do you guys leave it running all the time??

I just leave it on the office machine overnight while I am at home. PIII 733 coppermite.

If your serious about getting more WU's done in less time then dump the GUI screen saver approach and download the command line client here which can process a WU far quicker. Also get SETI Driver here. SETI Driver can cache work units and makes it very easy to use the command line client. All you need really is a folder called SETI and both the command line client and SETI Driver in that folder. Create a shortcut to SETI Driver in the startup folder and Bobs your uncle.

Jesus, I dont know what the hell's the story here but my first WU is 37% done and its taken 16 hours!

Bit bizarre on an Athlon 1ghz, 256 megs of RAM and Win2k Pro...

I know BugBlaster uses an AMD system(not sure but I think its a 700MHz Athlon) and he is completing WU's in just less than 15hrs.

Magwitch · 18-06-2001 3:33am

SETI: I joined up, still have not finished my first batch (50% there). Great idea, I used to do it a year or two ago and put in alot of time on my old PB166.

SickBoy · 18-06-2001 7:10am

Magwitch, can you not remember your old login? How many work units had you done on the old account?

There must be something really fuxx0r3d with your PC. Even with the GUI screensaver client it should still take no more than 16 hrs for a p3650 to complete a WU. My average time is 10:30 or something with seti driver and thats on a p3-600!!!!!!!!!!!

Same for Robbo, should be far better than this.

Q

Robbo · 18-06-2001 4:44pm

My machine is performing well in every other aspect, so it really is beating the hell out of me.

Maybe if I reinstall the bugger.

Ill give the comman line a shot for the next week and report back. hopefully it'll reduce my WU time.

SickBoy · 25-06-2001 6:06pm

How did it go TC?

TinCool · 25-06-2001 7:59pm

Great, P3 is doing them in under half the time it used to do them at. Must get the command line version going in work

Magwitch · 26-06-2001 12:39am

Sickboy, I was just about to finish my first batch on this computer and new account when I signed up to the boards team. First batch is now finished.

Magwitch · 26-06-2001 12:40am

ps. Magwitch = Irish Alien

SickBoy · 11-07-2001 8:19am

We could still do with some new members to boost the totals (and also give me some competition

)
Comon, close to 4000 registered users here and only 16 Boards.ie SETI members...
Update: we now have 18 members...

SickBoy · 19-07-2001 5:27pm

Any more takers?

Shinji · 19-07-2001 5:46pm

Is there any cunning way of comparing how Boards.ie is doing in the overall team rankings? I know we don't have a huge number of members (get signing up you slackers!) but it'd be cool to see how we're ranked nonetheless...

SickBoy · 19-07-2001 7:58pm

All that info is available to the group founder. Comon TinCool get the finger out! Post some stats & stuff...

SickBoy · 19-02-2002 10:04pm

Any new members care to join?

sisob · 19-02-2002 10:12pm

Strangely by the looks of it someone has either left one of these machines on or by some fluke/accident at least one is still running the client
