Future milestone posts will be for weekly milestones. Because our RC5 backfiles go back just 37 days, there were only 8 additional milestones passed. So I just rolled them into the weekly posting.

Milestones between November 14, 2001 and October 8, 2001, 37 days.

Just noticed the comment from Phlump... was he/were they high when they actually said this?

-
"I will be completely and absolutely shocked if the G4 can approach speeds as fast as half the speed of a comparably clocked P-iii or Athlon."

- Phlump, August 21, 2001

My G4/400 is running circles around my P3/700 at work with room to spare...

I know that the RC5 isn't the best indication of true computing power since the clients are optimized differently for different platforms; this was demonstrated when I installed the Linux client on a Celeron 533 and watched my rates plunge from 1.4 mkeys/sec (under Windows 2000 on the same machine) to less than 0.5 mkeys/sec...

Cheers.

Not high at all; you took me out of context. The full quote is:

Besides that realtime 3d performance, the beastly thing with Maya is the render times. I will be completely and absolutely shocked if the G4 can approach speeds as fast as half the speed of a comparably clocked P-iii or Athlon. On the other cross platform 3d package I work with (Cinema 4d) the G4's rendering performance is roughly 2x longer than a P-iii at the same clock speed. And the P-iiis and Athlons, as we all know, go to much higher clock speeds than the G4.

And I still stand by that, as newer versions of Cinema4d and Maya continue to bear this out. A G4 renders scenes in roughly twice the time of a comparably clocked P-iii. I was not talking about RC5 performance, where the Altivec optimizations in the crunch-vec core put the G4 on top.

Nice ramp by the way, guys. I guess I'll have to respond in some fashion... Good thing I still have 48 more 1.4 Athlons and 30 G4/500s to get crunching!

You going down.
Now get your a$$ back on IRC sometime.

I have recently joined the RC5 effort, and the MacNN team. I am clipping along at a decent rate, and I still have at least one (and maybe two) machines to add to the effort. Right now I have 3 G4's going on it in their spare cycles, and I have my P3/750 thay I will add when I get some time.

Yesterday I ranked 8th overall within the team. Here are my stats for yesterday:
4,349 blocks were completed yesterday (0.00000633% of the keyspace) at a sustained rate of 13,512 KKeys/sec! Ranked 2,278 for the day.

[reader50]

For those with G3's and earlier, the 50K RC5 milestone is not comparable to the 50 unit SETI milestone. Accordingly, we've added a 25K milestone on RC5.

I've updated the posts here, and the Team news pages.

If you miss your own milestones, you now have a 30-day listing on the Team site here.

Since the weekly milestones haven't been posted yet.... Chris V says 508,779
as of 12/6/01 I might not have a ton of machinery, but persistence has been known to pay off.

[malson]

I'll go ahead and chime in with my 784,215

I'd like to thank al the little people who made this possible...

[malson]

Hey, where's my 750k milestone??? I know I passed it before the 5th!

[mumble]bastards...[/mumble]

[legacyb4]

Just rounded the 250k corner and am heading full speed towards the 500k mark... at this rate, I will clear it just before the year rolls over!

Cheers.

The current Milestones list is:
25K, 50K, 100K, 250K, 500K, 1M, 2.5M, 5M, 10M.

I'll add code as needed in the future to catch still higher people, but at the moment no one is much past 2.5M.

[mumble]there ain't no 750 milestone...[/mumble]

Congratulations anyway.

[Demonhood]

this isn't a personal milestone, but Team MacNN is now in the Top 200 of all RC5 teams (#191 currently).

we were also ranked #21 for the day of December 6th (just that day, not overall). pretty promising.

[discstickers]

If you look at the Team's Overall ranking, we are now ahead of Microsoft RC5 Party Team.

[reader50]

Yes, and we stomped ResExcellence too, at about the same time.
