Crunch Harder, Faster, Longer!

TA is currently only ~150k short of overtaking KWSN for 9th in the World!

A big push by all TA crunchers could loft us up another spot before then end of the month, but we'd also have to hold it.

C'mon. Turn up your A/C and let those electric bills pile up. We have some work to do! :laugh:

then we'd only have to worry about extreme systems. if i every decide which conroe mobo i want, i'll toss rosetta on a box or two

If/When these Ubuntu CD's arrive in the mail in a couple months or so I'll probably try out Rosetta for the TeAm.

I'm guessing a link to the KUbuntu CD torrent I'm serving wouldn't help you?

While I've got the bottom post, new question: If all one cares about is cobblestones, what's the best project to run?

All cobblestones may be equal, but some are more equal than others. So far, I've found that uFluids is great for cobblestones if you have an optimized BOINC client. Riesel Sieve is very good if you don't have an optimized BOINC client, but if you only care about cobblestones, why wouldn't you? Since Rosetta went to their new credit system, I'm guessing they aren't as good? What other projects can anyone recommend?

Malaria Control is also rather generous, and even so with a slower box.

Ken, I'd recommand QMC, it flies with the optimized 5.5.0 Boinc client!!! And it's got the best download/upload size to credit ratio imo!

Thanks! Looks like QMC gets about 50% more cobblestones per time than uFluids!

Too bad I missed the boat with TAS back in April.

Is the 5.5.0 client you linked to, a mod of 5.4.9 or 5.4.11 ?

I'm not amdx, but it should work with both.

FWIW, the downside to QMC is the unpredictable duration of their WU's. Some are an hour or so, some may take several days. Of course, a 900+ credit WU is the end result.
