some action over at LHC@Home Classic (SixTrack)

[Assimilator1]

What was the rig that died btw?

 

[petrusbroder]

Old Gigabyte mobo, C2D 8200, , I called it HTPC. MS Vista ...
The mobo went down ... the CPU, RAM, PSO, GPU and HDD still work.
I have now four comps working on LHC part time.

 

[Assimilator1]

Yea I think I won't be closing the RAC gap on you , 4th is fine for me anyway.

Tasks rdy have dropped to 'just' ~980k

 

[petrusbroder]

Well Mark, I see that my goal of 1M credits in LHC is reachable considering the number of WUs awailable.
So I have now seven computers, with at total of 42 cores running LHC almost exclusively ... I really wonder how far my RAC will rise, if the WUs will suffice and if the comps will hold up ...

 

[biodoc]

I'm all in now. It's time to make hay while the sun shines.

 

[Assimilator1]

Drink Beer whilst the pub is open?

........ well maybe not the whole time .

Petrus
Wow! You're gonna shoot up the ranks!

 

[petrusbroder]

Only 166 496 WUs left ...
I hope they will produce more WUs ...

 

[Sunny129]

looks like they're creating more new work...i saw a low point of ~157K. i checked not long after that and it was up to ~168K. now its up to ~178K...hopefully this new work creation will continue at a rate that outpaces the rate at which it can be downloaded by its network of hosts, but we'll see how long that lasts...

 

[Assimilator1]

Yea I'm pretty sure it dropped to at least 90k at 1 point, it's now back upto 268k!

 

[Assimilator1]

Running out fast, down to 27k now!!

 

[petrusbroder]

Yupp - and its Saturday. They probably don't generate WUs on weekends.
Down to 20K - 69K in process ...
That can be - in part - compensated by hoarding WUs - by haveing a big enough cache.

 

[petrusbroder]

1 WU left to send ... Probably just the week end - I hope ...
I really want to reach 1 M milestone ...

 

[Assimilator1]

I was thinking that run was over, but their is a small amount available atm - 3,209

Managed to get 15 after briefly suspending Rosetta .
Seem to be a lot of short WUs.

 

[petrusbroder]

Shucks ... just 12K from my goal and no WUs to be had anymore ...

 

[Assimilator1]

And I'm just 13k from taking the next spot, oh well, maybe on the next batch?

 

[petrusbroder]

Got some 30-odd WUs (for 4 computers) just now ... but only 1 WU ready to send ...
Lets hope for the best ...

 

[Assimilator1]

I saw the server had some 300 odd WUs yesterday to send, but my rig didn't get any.

 

[petrusbroder]

Got 120 WUs ...
11.9 K WUs are awailable!

 

[Assimilator1]

Yea I've got 16 WUs now & all bar 1 are 'big' WUs , got a handful of short ones the other day.

9.5k available now.

 

[Sunny129]

TONS of work available right now...660,000 tasks currently "ready to send" in fact. get 'em while they're hot

 

[soccerballtux]

..

 

[Assimilator1]

I noticed I was getting a regular feed of WUs , so much so that it was holding back skynet crunching, nearly lowered LHCs %. Just as well I didn't as skynet ran out of WUs anyway!

 

[Sunny129]

yes, but LHC@Home is out of work again too...the project has been dry for the last few days.

 

[Sunny129]

just a heads-up - there are currently ~110,000 LHC@Home tasks ready to send, up from ~35,000 last night...

 

[petrusbroder]

Crunching ....
