WCG-TPU 9th Birthday Challenge (11/16-11/22/2013)- Join us/Crunch/Win Stuff

manofthem · Nov 17, 2013

It sucks that they did that, but on the brighter side, look at how many TPU members joined up and have started/resumed crunching!!! :eek:

That's truly amazing, a huge milestone for our team. It'd be awesome to win for sure, but it's all good.

And remember that old adage, "Cheaters never win." I bet those team stocked up on that work because they knew TPU was coming and they were scared :fear:

1. I had a talk with my old buddy who used to crunch on WCG a long time ago. He's returning to WCG and for the time of the challenge is going to help us. Should show up as Deake in new members Soon™ :toast:

2. I ~~stole~~ borrowed my dad's laptop and setting it up to crunch this very moment

GreiverBlade · Nov 17, 2013

Lightbulb moment ...

C2D E6300

i realized i was only at 12Cores 14Threads and my Xbox 360 has a HDD and a USB stick ... now i hope to be truly at 14Cores 16Threads

i just realized: that pics is beautiful...

I feel like the Shadow Broker in Mass Effect ...

librin.so.1 · Nov 17, 2013

Looks EPIC, man! Especially the 4th and 5th photos

meanwhile, dad's laptop already crunching; updated siggy

AnnCore · Nov 17, 2013

Why don't they only count the points for WUs that were downloaded the minute the challenge started?

Then basically you can't have people who "jumped the gun". Sure some people will be out of the gate faster because they can download faster, but then that's what a race is about.

It's either that, or as Buck Nasty suggested, building up a head of steam before the challenge starts and cruising the rest of the way... or are we the turtle that catches the hare?

GreiverBlade · Nov 17, 2013

TPU stand for "TERRAN POWERED UNITY"???

and the music i listen while they crunch.

ROCK ON install success!

only 1gb and 1,86ghz but better than nothing eh?

and since im pumped up and scavenge for all bits'n bolts i can find ... i took the opportunity to change my avatar and my sig into CRUNCH BATTLE MODE "salvager style!"

librin.so.1 · Nov 17, 2013

Well, I should get 16x Pentium 4 2GHz tomorrow for the challenge. Not much crunching power overall, but every little bit helps :rockout:

No, these models do not have HT, unfortunately.

(namely, 16x Compaq Evo D51S. This time, courtesy of a school)

and i have a Zotac Zbox AD01 with a Athlon Neo X2 but no 2.5" HDD

BUCK NASTY · Nov 17, 2013

Woke up this morning to the Opty-6180 server idling with no work available. A quick restart solved that problem, but don't know how long it was idling:shadedshu. Got to make up for lost time!

if everything remains the same, tpu will finish 3rd behind seti.germany and planet 3dnow. and that is ONLY because they dumped millions upon millions of work units as soon as the challenge began. remove those two teams and tpu is on top even above team china which also dumped work units in the beginning. all hail tpu!!

To be fair Team China ramped up in the days before. Anyway we are #3 in the last 12 hours production but we are only gaining slightly on the sport goods and and telephone company so we might have a moral 3rd place but will end out off the podium. Lets show them we are, again, able to mobilizes our CPUs. :toast:

Norton · Nov 17, 2013

Finished up getting two of my remote rigs reported in.....

We've got about 300 valid wu's and 20k (140k WCG) extra points incoming from me on the next FreeDC update!

Crunch On!!!!

Well, nothing like Pentium 4s for massive PPD. Probably all of 250 PPD each, or all 16 of them doing what a single i7 does :laugh:

Still helps :toast:

Norton · Nov 17, 2013

We're 15th overall on FreeDC and cranking a heck of a good score so far today- 511,585 pts! :respect:

Just saw this new Team that's only about a week old :eek:

d1nky · Nov 17, 2013

I got another milestone!! I need to do some maths!

I stopped all CEP units, so that may be why im crunching through the numbers!

vega22 · Nov 17, 2013

how can i track what i am doing?

You can search for yourself at Free-DC, BOINCStats, or use the official WCG site itself :toast:

librin.so.1 · Nov 17, 2013

YESH! I finally managed to fix that CPU clock being stuck at 1.4 GHz! And this time, it seems I managed to find the source. If I am not mistaken, it would mean one part of the mobo is done in a not-so-good way. Which would be kinda sad for a mobo that is supposed to be top-of-the-line.

Well, I just need to recalibrate my OC and I will be crunching on it full time again. And instead of the usual 3.9 GHz, going to run it on 4GHz :toast:

Feel glad this got sorted out, finally.

Arjai · Nov 18, 2013

I have close to 700 points pending and another 800, or so, valid. Not alot.

But it is two days worth, been working so much, lately, I haven't had a wifi spot since Friday morning!

Anyways, go TPU!!

:lovetpu:

t_ski · Nov 18, 2013

Not sure how I missed this, but seeing as I'm always crunching, count me in.

Hey t, you know we're all thinking right now, "Silly goose, where the deuce you been to miss this?" :laugh:

No matter, you're still sportin' some nice numbers, rockin' the top 10 :respect:

BUCK NASTY · Nov 18, 2013

Looks like we will pass Boinc Italy overnight, but Francophone has some strong output. Do we have anything left in the coffers?
