TPU WCG Challenges Thread

[Ion] · Nov 16, 2014

Alright, I'll be keeping track here of our daily status on the competition :toast:

The Challenge has now begun, but the first official update from WCG will be tomorrow (Sunday) night. Stay tuned for more :rockout:

[Ion] · Nov 17, 2014

Alright, WCG is still showing 0s across the board for all of the teams. No idea what's up. Hopefully it'll be sorted out by tomorrow :eek:

[Ion] · Nov 18, 2014

WCG has finally updated!

5,786,124

#5--far worse than the stats from SETI.GERMANY, but still room for growth. China ought to fall easily--Italy could well be a harder challenge ahead of us!

Autumn in Yosemite:

Arjai · Nov 18, 2014

According to Seti's Challenge page, we are 3rd, as of this post!!

[Ion] · Nov 19, 2014

The WCG Site has come to its sense, and we are now once again marked as ahead of Italy and Decrypthon :toast:

11,741,289

Very well done guys! I don't see any chance that we'll manage to unseat SETI.GERMANY or XtremeSystems (and given their regular PPD, I don't know how we ever could hope for such a thing, GPU work aside)--but these are awesome results for Team TPU! :toast:

Are you serious???????? We did 11.7 million today????? :twitch:

Oh, LOL, never mind I just seen today's numbers. :laugh:

No that's combined thus far--not just today

If only though, that would be awesome

[Ion] · Nov 20, 2014

We've widened our lead to a very impressive two million points! :toast:

17,731,172

Overlooking NYC :toast:

[Ion] · Nov 21, 2014

While I hate to wager on anything, it seems increasingly likely that, ignoring a crisis of some sort, third place is all but guaranteed. Good work folks! :toast:

manofthem · Nov 21, 2014

We are doing very well I'd say, and yes, barring any crazy crisis, we should be able to hold the 3rd place nicely!

Just a few more days :roll:

[Ion] · Nov 22, 2014

Another day, and our third-place position seems ever more secure! :toast:

Great job Team!!! :rockout:

Keep em crunching- still more to go

[Ion] · Nov 23, 2014

35,765,075

We're rapidly closing in on the end (less than three days to go now!) and the results are still looking pretty good for us! :toast:

TPU, Soaring High:

stinger608 · Nov 23, 2014

The hell of it is; I could see Team TPU winning these challenges in the near future!!!!!!

Bless this team! Awesome job my friends. :respect:

Regrettably we just don't have the firepower of the big guys like XS or S.G. Now if all of you could manage 100k a day, then we'd have a shot

firepower is nice but the key is Team! We WIN with every new member, every result crunched, and every badge gained!

twilyth · Nov 23, 2014

Out of curiosity I looked at BOINCstats and XS has about 660 active members. TPU has barely over 100. So to be even close to their output means that on average, our members produce maybe 5 times as much each as their's. I think that's pretty impressive.

Well, TPU has two members doing over 100K PPD and XS has none, so that's neat

[Ion] · Nov 24, 2014

Scrub that I am, I forgot to post last night. Same numbers now, just late.

48,050,981

Here we are, an impressive six million points ahead of #4. Great work guys! Let's finish this out strong! :toast:

Bow Lake, Canada:

[Ion] · Nov 25, 2014

48,050,981

Less than twenty four hours to go, and the results are looking truly great! Well done all around! :toast:

WCG, engineering......it's all just numbers in the end.

[Ion] · Nov 26, 2014

55,197,384

Great work guys! We may not have won, and unfortunately third place is down a bit from where we were last year (second) but it's still amazing work. Given the number of members we have, we're managing to hit way above size. I'm impressed! :toast:

Somewhere in Denmark:

Norton · Nov 26, 2014

There's also the sub Challenges where we took 2nd place for the MCM project! :toast:

Nordic · Nov 26, 2014

That is probably because MCM gives slightly more ppd and many of us favor it.

Hmmm. Maybe I should think about switching back to a UGM/MCM split after getting 10 years on UGM rather than waiting for 20. It's just that once you switch to the split, you really get gypped on UGM wu's.

I thought UGM's were the second highest ppd producing wu. I am on a split right now because they weren't that much less ppd than MCM. @xvi had some hard numbers on this.
