Teams stomped by SETI.USA on NFS@Home

[Fire$torm]

I got my 5000 hrs in PPS LLR, so I've moved 16 cores over to NFS, along with 11 cores from 2 of the reconfigured boxes. Another 10 should start crunching sometime tomorrow as I reconfigure the last 2 boxes.

Damn! There goes my #1 spot for daily team output.....

I put a few cores on NFS today too!

Thank you, Artemis! We are trying to help our good friend The Duke here on this one.

Thanks Artemis, we are needing a bit more firepower but we bit LAF today for the first time and our daily production is improving, in spite we are only 12 or 13 depending the day.

Unfortunately I have some very big tasks to finish so one of my cores is devoted to that, I have one Primegrid Genefer that have 60 hours of crunching and will need about 180 hours to finish, I am more or lees in the middle of the crunching of another RNA XXL long so I have one core at least compromised for 10 days but I can not throw 120Hours of crunching to trash.

Thanks to all that are helping, next I will post our stats for the 25th of March.



Hugging is natural, organic, naturally sweet, free of pesticides and
Preservatives. Hugging contains no artificial ingredients. It's
100% wholesome. No calories, no caffeine, no nicotine.
It's inflation-proof. It's nonfattening. There are no monthly payments.
No insurance requirements.
It's theft-proof, nontaxable, nonpolluting,
And fully refundable. And it costs very little.
Hugging is healthy. It assists the body's immune system, it cures depression,
It reduces stress, it induces sleep, it invigorates, and it rejuvenates,
And it has no unpleasant side-effects.
Hugging is no less than a miracle drug.
Adults love to hug babies and they do it as often as possible. Adults
Love to hug other adults, too, yet they seldom do. The reason for this
Is surprisingly simple ... adults are not afraid to initiate and enjoy
Hugging with infants because there's little chance of rejection.
Hugs can be given to anyone. Any place. Any time.
Hugs are free ... perhaps that's why so many take them for granted.
If hugs cost a lot of money, people would probably knock
Themselves out to make enough to buy them.
Although hugs are free, they're worthless if they aren't used. An
Unused hug is lost forever. On a planet that's starved for affection,
Can we really afford to lose a single hug?
For those who aren't always comfortable with the traditional hug,
You should at least try one of the other following forms of Hugs:

A kind word.
A touch.
A loving smile.
A "Thank you!"
A "Forgive me."
A "Can I help you?"
A "I'm Sorry."
And anything else you can do to make a person
Feel good about him or herself.

Never hug tomorrow someone you could hug today.

You cannot give a hug - without getting one.

@Duke - well, we'll see how big of a dent we can put in the difference over a few days anyway. The thing is, 85% of LA'F output on NFS is by ONE cruncher. So he/she is very dedicated to this project and has quite a high output - must represent at least 60 to 80 cores dedicated to this project alone, I would think.

But we will have fun trying anyway!

speaking of that one guy, [AF>Libristes] Dilandau, he can do some serious damage. According to Free-DC this guy can push out over 100K a day on NFS when he/she chooses to. Not sure we can ever make any headway against him.

Just saying.....

Understood. So that means a general use of ~60+ cores, with "occasional / on demand?" access to at least 180 cores.
So with that in mind, Duke, I believe anything is possible, trust me, I have faith otherwise I wouldn't be here. But on a realistic level, we're not going to make much sustained headway against this dude.

We'll have a fun time seeing how much we can gain for a bit though.
