Just blew through 1000 last night and on my way to regain the #30 spot
in the team.

Just for info here are the new processing times with 3.0:

iMac Rev A: 18h (from 14.5h)
iBook SE 366 Mhz: 14h (from 12h)
iMac SE 500 Mhz: 10h (from 9h)

so a small hit overall, but not as bad as on computers with larger cache.

Good crunching.

PS: I am very sorry that Wlonh decided not to be a moderator anymore,
he was truly the spiritual leader of this team.

He was the enthusiasm that motivated our team, but to say he was a "spiritual leader" may be saying too much.

[Danometer]

Way to go, proux! You were so fast, I didn't even see you coming. I thought @Once would hit the 1000 mark first.

Today's milestoners:

1000 - proux
750 - mgriffin1017
500 - Monte

Keep a crunchin'.

Well with SUM the progression is not daily...

BTW anyone would have some iMac RevA times runnig 3.0 to compare?
18 hours semms a bit low.

Also anyone with 500Mhz G4 times?

Thanks.

[cwasko]

Well, just hit 800 Units. Been doin SETI since July 3 of this year. I should hit 1000 by the end of November.

[monte]

Thanks Danometer. I thougt the only person that noticed was me and the guy in front of me!! crunch crunch crunch

[Danometer]

�or the person behind you. Me, I'm on an island at #68 with 459 WUs, with 13 WUs between me and "the neighbors", not gaining on the one in front, and the one behind me is apparently inactive.

Hey People!

Just wanted to brag about my 100th package...though not much as compared to some of the heavy dudes on this team. I'm running on a single G4 AGP, OC'ed from 350 to 450 MHz. Avgr. time 5.5 hrs @450 MHz

[Danometer]

Every little bit helps, Jan. Can you refer us to some overclocking site for Macs? The local university had a surplus auction this past weekend and I got two PowerMac 7100/80s for $20. I'm threatening to turn them into SETI stations, but I need more RAM first (minimum required is 24MB of physical RAM for SETI 3, and it isn't fooled by RamDoubler like most programs used to be). I don't want to get a G3 upgrade card if I don't have to.

250 - KevinB67
100 - Richard Michaud

[Misha]

601 @ 80 MHz? Hehe. Even if you were able to say, double, the clock speed you'd still be churning out SETI units in like 3-4 days

My father had a PowerMac 8100 at 80 Mhz. I installed SETI just to see how long it would take. At last look it was 10% done after 20 hours. You do the math and tell me if it is even worth it.

[Bockie]

SETI times do not matter if you find aliens with that 3-4 day WU. WUs are what matter. Crunch away.

Heck yea it's worth it. I got a 7100/80av doing units. It pumps out WU's at a rate of 1%/hour. But... it is also running IPNetRouter, MacSSH, Timbuktu Pro, Notepad, IPNetMonitor, and QuickDNS *ALL* the time. I have not rebooted this machine in 2 months. Oh yea... it is running OS 9.0.4 as well, has 136M RAM, 2 monitors, and an external Apple 1.2G drive.

It may take 100 hours to do a unit, but that is one more unti that I would not have had.

If anyone is wondering about my 7100/80s, I combined their RAM to make 32MB and discovered that one had a 256KB cache. I put just enough of MacOS 8 into the heavy-cached machined to operate SETI and cranked it up. Its completed 36.363% in 19h 43m 30s. Extrapolating, it should completed its first packet after 54h 15m. Clearly not as slow as the above mentioned 7100s & 8100s, and it is extra WUs.

(Electricity is included in my rent, so my landlord is going to throw a fit if she ever figures out why my electric bills are through the roof.)

If I actually quit all the other apps (See my above post) I run on my 7100/80av, I would get simialar times to what you have stated above. I can't wait to be able to afford a G4 upgrade card. Hehe... that'll be really cool.

Keep in mind, Stephend last night at this time was at 101. As of now, Stephend is at 117! Somebody has a lot of computers crunching!

Keep up the great work.

[seanyepez]

I'm going to get my groove on. I use PC's, but they sure do crank out work units very quickly. I have 660 work units on an account that's frozen (I lost the email account), about 450 on another account (that will be transferred soon), and just transferred 33 work units.

My Athlon (800 megahertz) crunches units in about five and a half hours.

My Pismo won't be crunching - it screws up my record times.

I'm going to get an (evil) Pentium 4 system or maybe a DDR Athlon Thunderbird system soon, so I'll be moving up on the ladder. Maybe I'll decide to use my Pismo once I have a faster machine to compensate for the horrible times (about eight hours).

I might decide to run SETI on my dual G4/500 and 500-megahertz G4 Cube. I don't know what kind of times I'll get out of those...

[keyser_soze]

seanyepez,
I'll send all of the warcraft games (including bnet edition), tie fighter, and a top gun usb joystick if u put my seti account on your pismo.

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
it'll help the team

[seanyepez]

That's an appealing offer...

I'm crunching on my Pismo; the times will suck though.

These results, of course, are pending the outcome of recounting the Florida workunits, and whether Mr. Daley continues the family tradition of the "dead count".

I should finally pass 500 WUs this week! Yeehaw!

[cwasko]

Yeeehaaawww!!

I just hit the big 1000!!!

I've been crunchin since July 3 of this year. I run 2 MacOS X Servers at 400MHz, and B&WG3 at 350, a Powerbook 333, a 7100/80av, and a P.O.S. Pentium 120.

Hmmmm, NOT bad. I was sitting checking out the Cube clone server and stumbled across the Seti page and wanted to compare stats...
I'm running a:

AMD 900mhz
Windows 200 pro
128meg ram
RivaTNT2
Seti Units 101
Average Seti Time:5hr 16m

Those 15hr posts aren't bad, for a Mac. DiskMan

[Danometer]

Buy me one and I'll be more than happy to let it crunch SETI workunits. Please ship it UPS, Fedex and I don't get along well.

Yeah I will take one too. Nevermind, just send me a dual G4 500 or wait til the dual G4 ~800 comes out and ship that to me. Windows and I don't get along. Email me for the address.

Fedex doesn't work for me either. I had something shipped one day fedex to me ( dated loan application ) and it took 3 days to come. Because of that I have to pay an extra $15 a month on my student loans. This is because of an interest rate hike before I could receive the application. So, now I swear I hate fedex and will never use them again.

Is it just me, or did we gain about 10 new team members since last night?

Fedex tried to give my iMac to Norman Public Schools Transportation Department, whose address is similar to mine. Fortunately, my father-in-law is in charge of said Transportation Department, but he was really scratching his head over why I had it send to him at work until he read the address on it. The Fedex driver not only failed to see an APARTMENT NUMBER, but also mistook NORTHEAST for SOUTHWEST.

A DUAL G4 500mhz? Sounds nice, that might get you down into the 5hr range with Seti? But from what I understand they don't release many version/platforms that run on multi-cpus. Anyway, its worth a shot. DiskMan

Thanks for the recognition Danometer.

Passing 1000 feels pretty good. I've been crunching since beta (May 15, 1999), but have lagged for a bit. Now I've kicked it into gear with 2 G4s, 2 G3s, 1 PowerBook G3, and 2 Pentium III machines. The G4s blow the doors of the Pentium III machines. The G3s are even slightly faster.

Crunch on!

[Danometer]

"Where does he get all those wonderful toys?"

All you people with you arrays of multiple Macs make me sick with envy. Here I am fighting tooth-and-nail to get 2 WU/d, and y'all do 10 on a bad day. ACK!�

I have my PowerMac 7100/80s crunch on a workunit for 24 hours, then the workunit is transfered to the iMac (RevB) for final digestion and transmission to SETI. The 7100s are staggered at 12 hr intervals, so one transfers in the morning and the other before bed. It works, but each workunit is getting about 36 hr of CPU time, so my average is going to hell in a Ford Explorer with Firestone tires.

Some CPUs accelerators would be greatly appreciated. Used is fine as long as they work.

Danometer!
I know it�s kind of a waste, but I will be throwing away more than a 100 Macs in January, ranging from 7200/75 to 9600/233. It's actually cheaper for my company to do this than giving them away, because of the support cost related to the given away computers.
If you pay me a visit in Sweden you could probably get a couple of machines anyway.
By the way, thanks a lot for the stats which are invaluable for our team spirit.

[Danometer]

THROWING AWAY 100 MACS!

Any chance of throwing them away into boxes marked "DHL" and bound for the US?

[reader50]

Those 100 older Macs would retail for US$50,000 over here. I am sure that plenty of people here would be more than willing to pay the shipping and something for your time.

Post an offer in the Lounge and let people know.

They are also probably good for 50-100 WU per day crunching SETI.

Sean Yepez, looks like you're a little fibber. I just checked your stats and your "AMD 800" doesn't do wu's in 5hrs, its more like 12hrs... Here's your ACTUAL stats... DiskMan

[seanyepez]

Too bad that was an old account you found. I run under "seanyepez." Look, I think you need an attitude adjustment - "little fibber?"

My PC does average 5 hours and change on a work unit. My new AMD DDR-based system does the packets in 3 hours, but I'm not going to run SETI@home on that computer. The fans make it too noisy to comfortably sleep with.

Also, what did I ever do to you?

[Danometer]

Diskman and seanyepez, please take your "discussion" elsewhere; the backyard, the gym, the titty-bar, your own forum, it doesn't matter, just not here. Okay?

We are now at 450 members.

I think we past Team 3DNow! for #53 this afternoon, but I could be wrong. If so, this mean we did it 3 days earlier than forecast, and it was due to all the new members in the past week.
