1) Message boards : Number crunching : Please note: this project rarely has work Message 19244 Posted 16 Mar 2008 by Adam23	"Please note: this project often has work but then runs out of work and the users moan about it for a while until there is work again and when there is a lot of work the power users moan about the quotas the way the non-power users used to moan about unfair distribution of work back when this project rarely had work" Exactly!
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Holy cow, WU avalanche!!! Message 19223 Posted 13 Mar 2008 by Adam23	Unbelievable, unthinkable, yet here they flush :)
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Please increase our daily machine quota Message 18153 Posted 14 Oct 2007 by Adam23	I like the 2 per CPU per day rate. It gives all of my systems a chance to help out. At the rate we are eating WUs we will have them all done by Monday or Tuesday at which time we will be at "how come I can't get ANY WU's from the project stage." The 2 per cpu per day gives us that have more then one system a little credit for haveing more then one system, but allows more people access to the WUs. I think what might happen in the future is 2 WU per user however ]:8( I agree on that, it is nice to have some work for four consecutive days or so :)
4) Message boards : Number crunching : dear Neasan & Alex Message 17989 Posted 27 Sep 2007 by Adam23	Actually, I'm a little exited about the LHC switch-on this November ;) Same here Dose this mean that we will have a steady stream of work starting in November? I don't think, they will switch it on this November. You better seek through this forum thoroughly, to find answers :)
5) Message boards : Number crunching : work units?? Message 17977 Posted 24 Sep 2007 by Adam23	I will help you :D
6) Message boards : Number crunching : dear Neasan & Alex Message 17914 Posted 18 Sep 2007 by Adam23	Well, I'm not sure I totally agree. If there's actually a quota per CPU (and I'm not sure offhand if one is in force or not), then yes, the farms would still get the lion's share of the work. BUT, if the quota were low enough, then that would prevent the farms from running down ALL the WUs in a larger batch before x number of other users could get a share of the work. If there's no quota, then yes, the size of the batch is pretty much irrelevant, to some extent. And if there ISN'T a quota, I guess my question would be, why not? Yes. And the quota for the first batch could be set to say for example 5 WUs, yes five WUs per CPU for a start. Then everyone could grasp some WUs to have pleasure of :) Then of course upon completion of them, another batch would be sent. So that even speed-of-light machines probably would not know any difference.
7) Message boards : Number crunching : A new look Message 17232 Posted 4 Jul 2007 by Adam23	Thanks for widening the layout to 100% ;)
8) Message boards : Number crunching : A new look Message 17191 Posted 3 Jul 2007 by Adam23	Despite Opera is the best in sticking to the standards, extent of it's global use is pitiable. Otherwise, far less work could have been done at making websites, IMHO. /Opera lover/ edit: say WOW: a new look is here ;)
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Project dead ? Message 17157 Posted 29 Jun 2007 by Adam23	hoha... mmhm, i do not get any work units...why and what is the problem?...cya hk I wonder... Why didn't he get any WU's? Does anybody know? :DD
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Wait for it Message 17106 Posted 26 Jun 2007 by Adam23	I am thankful too ;)
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Wait for it Message 17103 Posted 26 Jun 2007 by Adam23	Cool! It's been nearly a year, since the stats were on, hasn't it?
12) Message boards : Number crunching : Please note: this project rarely has work Message 16973 Posted 4 Jun 2007 by Adam23	Oink! Oink! Oink, an onomatopoeic word for the sound of a pig (Wiki) An useful and a very nice new word to me. Surely, Dagorath is a dearest specimen of our niffty pigsty. Oink!
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Because you asked.... Message 16905 Posted 15 May 2007 by Adam23	This thread is SpamFest No. 2, I would say. One is not online for two days and... People go out, smell at some flowers instead. After such a long time, maybe there is a light at the end of the Queen Mary tunnel from la Suisse to the UK. Of course, that fact will only slightly increase the probability, that LHC@home will normalize soon. Faire clatfart from me :D.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Gone in a flash! Message 16815 Posted 4 May 2007 by Adam23	Zen exercise, veery funny :D However I do not complain, I got 4 peanuts totalling incredible 1717 seconds load.
15) Message boards : Number crunching : What do we crunch for? Message 16716 Posted 15 Apr 2007 by Adam23	A small attempt to fill this desperate vacuum: What do we crunch for? Nobody knows anymore. Many years in the past, we knew how to crunch fast. But now we all feel forgotten, Knowing not whether it's for ever, Our computers and minds rotten. We are awaiting some hero clever, Who will solve our trouble, Before it gets double. Helas, it's tough to meet them often. Maybe somebody soon will try. Hope should be the last to die!
16) Message boards : Number crunching : Fairer distribuiton of work(Flame Fest 2007) Message 16575 Posted 17 Mar 2007 by Adam23	Thanks for your step by step recipe, Ariel. I should try it. - New vocabulary: buttocks, booger, barf and others. From previous lessons I know the nice word troll, but quite ambiguous.
17) Message boards : Number crunching : Fairer distribuiton of work(Flame Fest 2007) Message 16566 Posted 16 Mar 2007 by Adam23	It depends on point of view. This post may be considered as spam (I am not reffering to the email spam, personally I use this word for example if lots of posts are accumulating in short time) or as a contribution to the philosophic disscussion. Anyway I am not a native speaker and I find reading and ocassionaly answering in this forum useful for improving my language skills, so please keep this "WHATEVER :-) Fest 2007". What about that fried rice receipt?
18) Message boards : Number crunching : Fairer distribuiton of work(Flame Fest 2007) Message 16563 Posted 16 Mar 2007 by Adam23	Well, well, shouldn't we rename our beloved thread to "SPAM Fest 2007"? :-). Because the more philosophers the more "spam".
19) Message boards : Number crunching : Extremely short WUs Message 16500 Posted 9 Mar 2007 by Adam23	25 factorial - that's an awful lotta work. Be careful not to miss the deadline... ;-) Well, well that is serious, but I am personally more interested in 0.0x factorial, never seen the result before. :-D
20) Message boards : Number crunching : Extremely short WUs Message 16483 Posted 8 Mar 2007 by Adam23	Quite a normal situation, I got about 25! WUs worth 0.0x! credit each.
