Due to the net crash at school yesterday, I managed to pull over 20k BOINC today :eek:

This is probably to be my best day for quite a while :toast:

Soylent Joe · Nov 2, 2010

So, what do the stars on our WCG cruncher badges represent? 150k for each?

stars are given by PPD i think 2 is like 2k

[Ion] · Nov 2, 2010

500 PPD for the 1st star, 2k for the 2nd, 4k for the 3rd, 8k for the 4th, and 12k for the 5th IIRC

Chicken Patty · Nov 2, 2010

Right now the stars are wrong though, it's supposed to be fixed shortly.

badge + 1 star - 500
badge + 2 stars - 2,000
badge + 3 stars - 4,500
badge + 4 stars - 8,000
badge + 5 stars - 12,000 or greater

It would seem I'm late to this party, but exactly how does this work? PPD can show a lot variability under certain circumstances, so is this something that is determined each day for say the previous day or is it more of an average over some period of time like the recent average credit (RAC) on WCG or the stats sites like free-dc?

I might be wrong about this, but I think this might be something unique to TPU and if so, I can definitely see it catching on. Whoever came up with this idea, get your ass to the PTO (patent and trademark office) and patent the shit outta this mofo.

theonedub · Nov 2, 2010

Twilyth, the PPD figures are going off the 7day average as shown on FreeDCStats :toast:

mjkmike · Nov 2, 2010

@ Ion only 20k boinc. I would think the numbers would be more grand than that. I hope you made a good showing at XS. Keep up the good work.

Thanks man. I'm glad to see that we're using genuine Free-DC stats ( TM ) and not some bogus boinc stats. :cool:

mjkmike · Nov 2, 2010

I don't get this isn't Free-DC stats(TM) based on boinic stats?

I get the same thing too, I hate it! You can tell cause you notice the FPS get affected a bit.

I normally leave it running, but Red Faction: Guerrilla gets fantastically boogered by it. Random ~10 second long pauses, infinite loading times and such.

Well, each system is capable of ~500-600 PPD, and there's 24, so that's 12-14k.

And then I have several other systems which do about 6k combined, and there are a lot of WUs still pending validation

I must say I vastly prefer BOINCStats :cool:

Any ETA on this? They still appear to be bogus

Yeh, well with a eyefinity setup and not much RAM having WCG running takes a huge toll on the rig while gaming so I have to "snooze" WCG in my case.

[Ion] · Nov 2, 2010

Says the guy with a full 4GB :rolleyes:

It seems like I'm not going to be crunching on the Macbook, it simply runs too hot and loud when under load :ohwell:

(FIH) The Don · Nov 2, 2010

sell it

Big surprise on that one. :laugh:

Sell it and buy a better laptop. :toast:

I was hopeful at least :ohwell:

I might sell it and the Thinkpad and get a quad-core laptop...that would be cool

Radical_Edward · Nov 2, 2010

Sounds like a plan to me.

(FIH) The Don · Nov 2, 2010

atleast a i5 something

might not be "real" quad, but its VERy fast for a laptop cpu imo

Chicken Patty · Nov 2, 2010

Ion I'm constantly using over 3Gb, when I load up a game like NFS:Shift or Dirt2 what do you think happens to my RAM usage? :laugh:

Yeah, that would probably be what I get, an i3 or i5, maybe even an i7. A guy @ work has a Dell w/ an i7 and it's awesome

Wow!

W/ WCG, FF, M$ Office and a couple other things going, I rarely use over 1.3gb

Hence why 2GB is fine for most things, except when I want DiRT2 or something.

Chicken Patty · Nov 2, 2010

I usually keep a few things open.

[Ion] · Nov 2, 2010

Still, that seems pretty high, I feel that I was running a pretty fair set of apps and my mem usage was under control.

However, with FAAH, I need to close more things @ ~100mb of memory usage/thread :eek:

Chicken Patty · Nov 2, 2010

Well opera alone takes like 1GB after it's running for a few days, firefox is like 700MB.

[Ion] · Nov 2, 2010

Ah, well, I restart at least once a day, so FF or Opera rarely use more than a couple hundred MB each
