This is a numbers game easier to figure out then any performance project. We need 120 more computers on this project. Any laptop any P3 will do this. I have a couple old p4 2.2's that I'm going to bring online for this.
That is probably not a sustainable answer but at this point its what can be done till we get some new members.
They will pass us in what?
WuProp...Quote:

WuProp is not something you can easily just increase production in without getting more rigs online. The only way to do it would be to run a bunch of VMs and I can't see how that hassle is worth only 50 credits...:p
a) It would be good practice for FreeHAL if/when it comes back up.Quote:

This is why it is critical for *all* members to add it to *all* their machines. This project is not something that can be made up. A minute not crunching is lost forever.Quote:

You can also get it running on a PS3. If you compile boinc from source, you can configure it with the alternate platform option. I have mine configured as powerpc64-ps3-linux-gnu with an alternate of powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu. I asked Sebastien to release the powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu app for powerpc64-ps3-linux-gnu. He will do so soon.Quote:

Right now they'll pass us in about 52 days. Let's make that a thousand days by adding it to to more of our PC's.
Please join up by adding the following as a project. Thank you.

p.s. This is a French project so it pisses them off that they're not first. Let's keep them pissed off. **==
I got all 4 of my PCs on it. 200 credits a day.
I can pass WUProp home to here. In a while. Done

I have BAM set to automatically add WUProp@Home and FreeHal to all machines so I never a to think about it.
+1, including PiratesQuote:

Ok. Here's my plan: Dandasarge, NJCans, DrPop, and/or BeerDrinker (yes - I "volunteered" you) write up some note about the importance of WUProp, how it saves puppies from Michael Vick, and link to the results page they have.
If someone can get a draft down, I'll edit/clean it and get it on the front page. Then pass the torch to others to Tweet/Facebook/Advertise. I just don't have the time or inclination to write from scratch...
um...did I read that right? They are out-pacing us by Seven THOUSAND per day? That represents 3,500 individual rigs running WUProp. Do you even think we even have that many active crunchers currently?
7.000/50=140 I think. so it is 140 computers once each computer can run one task at a time. Is my account correct? :D 140 is very different from 3500. Are 140 there machines not running WUProp at this momment? A lot of people just dont do this nci projects. Call the T E A M to do it once is a project that you just run and isnt so heavy in memory and near zero at cpu. o->
Duke
The amd twins are on it.
Yeah, Duke's math is right, DrPop. 7k = 140 rigs
WU doesn't always add up. I have 7 computers that I know run 24/7 and another 2-3 part timers but never dose it seem that i'm getting more then 300 points.
Max I'll work on something. As long winded as I am I'm not a vary good writer.
Awesome, and no worries - I'm a much better editor than straight up writer. ;)Quote:

There is something about WUProp the task is given for each Boinc running. If you have two cores and divide your disk and put a core runing one side and the other runing other would be 70 computers of course you must do it all as if you have 2 computer and download 2 Boincs. Yea to much work for 50 points. and carefull not to swapp memory to much or you would lose more than you want. There was something about dividing supermicro memories and Cpu. Well was to long ago. Someone must know it better than me. Is it possible? Just curious.
I have 2 boxes on it now.
