World CEP2 Challenge (6 october - 14 october)

[Bow]

Ok guys.
After doing some thinking I have decided not to take Batman. I just will not have time to really play and enjoy the game. So I am going to give it away. I just sent a PM to manofthem to come up with a fun way to give it away, so stay tuned.

So guys, keep an eye on the giveaway thread shortly, as we will be throwing Batman back out for one more pull

AnnCore, maybe try some stress tests like IntelBurnTest or Prime95? Probably should grab something like Open Hardware Monitor to watch yourr temps too.

 

[AnnCore]

Bad Pool Header seems to be my main problem.

Trying to see what is causing that.

 

[AnnCore]

BSODs begone!

Found the culprit hopefully.

A single stick of ram was showing errors.

Now have only 3 sticks (12GB) installed and Windows 7 seems stable.

BOINC has finally joined the party with all CEP2 WUs kicking in after 20 minutes of burn in time. Weird.

Good news AnnCore, let's hope the BSODs stay away now!

On a solarside note:

Solar Team Eindhoven (which my sister is part of) won the World Solar Challenge in the Cruiser Class!

Thanks again to all of our Team members for helping make this challenge a success!

 

[AlienIsGOD]

[Norton]

The World CEP2 Challenge has finished.....

Spoiler: and TPU wins

Great work Team!!! --

 

[manofthem]

Mmmm, feels good to have completed another challenge, not to mention rocking it like nobody's business!

We done good everyone, be proud of our accomplishment!





Now when are we hitting up the big giveaway?

 

[Arjai]

A BIG Shoutout to the Coralville Crunchers!

Only 3 members, 71+ days and a 9th place in the Challenge.

Another HUGE Shoutout to all the competitors, for a great showing for CEP2!

Thanks to all. These WU's are not the easiest things to run and I am glad that everyone here and on the other teams made an effort to do so!

When we are all pulling for points it can easily be forgotten that what we are doing, collectively, is going to change the world. Maybe not tomorrow but, much sooner than was possible, just a short few years ago.

Cheers!

Arjai, best post that in the thread at the WCG forums too.

By the way, I posted this on the WCG forums:

I shall make sure that the Team Prize draws are done ASAP. TPU will not be included in the drawings, neither any team that has less than a day of runtime in the challenge stats.

The following system will be used for the drawing of each of the two prizes:

-------------------------------------------------
Person 1: creates a list of all qualified participants usernames. This list is sent to person 2.

Person 2: Using the list of names, person 2 will assign each entrant a unique number. A list of the usernames with the unique numbers is sent back to Person 1. The list of just the random numbers is sent to Member 3.

Person 3: has a list of just numbers. They use Random.Org or whatever random system to select which number wins a given prize. The list of winning numbers and the associated prize is then sent back to Member 1.

Person 1: Using the lists, person 1 "decodes" the winning numbers into the winning usernames and posts the results.

The lists are sent as Private Messages through the forum. This establishes an electronic record of everything while also preventing alterations of lists after the drawing.

When the winning usernames are posted by person 1, person 2 can verify that the number belongs to the correct username and person 3 verifies that the number was actually pulled as a winner.
-------------------------------------------------

The system makes sure that there is no bias or other favoritism at play when winners are drawn. Winners are drawn based on a random number instead of team names- where a possibility exists to redraw if that person doesn't like who won, draw a friend, draw themselves, pass on new members, or skip doing a random drawing all together.

Update: I sent the lists for the Team Prizes to Vinska (being the "member 2"). I still need to edit the table in post #2 to our needs so that the TPU prize draw can be done. I will do so ASAP.

 

[AlienIsGOD]

any idea when the internal prizes are being drawn?

 

[Peter1986C]

Today or tomorrow the list will go to the one assigning the random numbers (and onwards).

Just confirmed via PM thanks Chevalr1c

Sekerob used to maintain some progress charts (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,18277) but as far as I can read the latest update is from the 15th of September. I was curious to know if this competition had any significant impact on the amount of CEP2 WUs left. I know that the choices are fairly limited atm and both projects needs to be completed but I really hate CEP2 (not the aim, but the stress it puts on my rigs) and would like it to be completed real soon Any links to other sources of degree of progress?

Sorry to steal this tread but I assume that this is the place to ask.

 

[Peter1986C]

All folks in the table in post 2 are eligible for the prizes, so it is time to PM the list to someone I suppose, so that he/she can add random numbers to it.

Post #2 in this thread has one of the Sekerob charts/data tables that is updated a little more regularly (daily most of the time). I've been taking screenshots of it daily (mostly ) to get an idea of what impact was made by our challenge.

I'll try to put something together from that info to see how it looks

*EDIT- there are still plenty of CEP2 wu's left AFAIK.... like 2 or more years worth

The Windows 7 keys are ready and waiting whenever the prizes are decided!

And my mouse is looking for a new, warm, fuzzy place to call home.

At last, i dont have to sit infront of my screen to retry upload of CEP2 WU's again and again. :shadedshu

 

[stinger608]

Hmm, I must have been "excluded" from this competition for what ever reason.

Post number 90 I stated I was in:
http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2991908&postcount=90

However I notice I am not included in the list within the second post?

 

[Peter1986C]

I must have missed you!

Then again, always check the list whether you are in it since posts sometimes get missed or other things may go wrong. However, since you have been ill for a while you may not have had the chance to state I was missing someone.

We could best redraw (I was just going to post the results ).

All who have stated they are in, check wheter you are in the table in post #2. We will redraw saturday-ish, you will get until friday 0:00 UTC to correct any further mistakes I made. After friday 0:00 UTC the list of entries shall be considered final.
