What is this strange beast i see?

Big WUs tend to get a bigger credit - they don't always get it right but it's usually reasonably fair

Will see how long it takes you guys to get into the top 1000 teams, shouldnt take long if the whole site signs up

Quinten · 10-02-2005, 23:32

Yey, produced my first WU! Need more power, need more power

That I don't know...I can try and explain the principle behind it though.

All over the world, there is computer processing power which is being unused.
Similarly, there are lots of projects which require serious "number crunching", and these would normally be performed at great expense on a supercomputer (or similar).
So instead, these projects write small client programs which sit on people's computers...these small programs utilise unused processing power, and report the results back to the main computer...this is known as distributed computing...

Hope this helps things make more sense!

Rob.

Ack well a typo and case sensitivty issue has meant I'm starting over...

whitespider exists, the user name search does respect case, so when I looked for WhiteSpider it was free. But stats for WhiteSpider go to whitespider.

Team 52567 will have a nice surprise when they form

Added my 1.6 Centrino laptop to the effort, for what it's worth.

**mannyo** · 11-02-2005, 09:35

Signed up and processing on the works pc. I may find a nice quiet server and bung it on to see what happens.

***ncarring*** · 11-02-2005, 09:36

Well downloaded the console version and all seems well for now.

Probably more than my Pentium III 1GHz currently running SQL Server and 2 major application sets for demos

**TaviaRS** · 11-02-2005, 09:39

Mine's still processing its first one

Damn it's a biggy, so, hopefully, I'll get loads of points

the centrinos are actually really good at this kind of thing.. and punch well above their weight... a 1.6 will show a 2.6gig p4 a clean set of heels in most pure processing applications

**TaviaRS** · 11-02-2005, 09:55

If I have it running on my home PC, can I run another one (with the same user ID) on my laptop at the same time?

Yes

***ncarring*** · 11-02-2005, 09:59

Yes, when you run the config part it asks you for a device id from 1-5.

philc · 11-02-2005, 10:02

Hmmmm
I've finished a unit, but it's not showing in our team results. Maybe there's a delay.
On the other hand, the Briskoda team are at 8112 of 36234 teams, so keep crunching, folks.

SimonT · 11-02-2005, 12:02
