Why was it so easy to get in the top 100? I basically only have my 1.46 GHz athlon running Ubero, and I easily got into the top 100. Then I used memory hacks or IBM JDK and more up into the 70's. How come that was so easy? Anyone with a 1GHz+ CPU should be able to do that, which would in turn make it harder to get into the leader board.

Don't even get me started on people with multiple agents, and how easy it would be then.

I suspect that there are well under 1000 active Ubero crunchers at present. It will likely be a lot harder later on.

Ski,

Easy for you to say! Unfortunately, I don't have any 1Ghz+ machines at my disposal which is why I've got so many agents pulling my load...

Let's just hope we can keep our places when the competition really gets going!

Cheers.

Check out your personal stats at http://www.ubero.com/ . As of 1/26/02, there are 910 members in the Ubero Distributed computing community. Not too many, compared to distributed.net's, for instance. If Ubero publicized themselves a bit, then their project would get more members.

I'm guessing they won't publize themselves at least until they are doing real work...

Right-o. The Ubero project should get to something a little ore important than fchecking a previouwsly spercpomputer-rcunrhed set of data.
