Project Update

[JugNut]

IMHO the best project development I've seen.  Inclusive, Informative and Interesting - good stuff.
Folks, If you have similar thoughts maybe you would like to let the Admins know.  A little goes a long way. 

That's for sure Lawry & WTD. 

POGS is great on many levels & these are just a few of them...     

       The first Aussie boinc project,
    + has great scientific value & is quite interesting to boot, (the parts I can understand anyway)
    + has a responsible admin who cares about & actively courts members opinions & is quick to fix any problems,(also seems a nice bloke)
    + there team is also working on development of a GPU app to further speed up processing, (can't wait)
    + has a more than fair credit system,
    + has work units that are close to perfect size for crunching.

Something for everybody... 

[Mike Mitchell]

All we need now is for him to join our team.

Some high powered new members at POGS?   Maybe someone giving us a hand?

 :angry: I do not like this.

It appeas we are out-crunching their ability to create work. I really want a GPU app there but they don't even have the ability to keep up with the CPU's. I really don't like "do-overs".  :angry:
What do other members think?

[JugNut]

Mmm no not fond of do-over's either,  but even less fond of losing our "overall lead" in the rankings that took a heck of a lot of effort to get that we may never get again.  Even with a huge amount of help from a dozen plus transfer members from other teams where only just hanging on & starting to pull away. ???

At least there's proper work till Tuesday.. 

[Mike Mitchell]

Might be an idea for us to let Kevin know it's been done before at SETI and caused quite a stink.

edit: I posted a note here in response to Kevin's comment, if it's not polite enough, can someone let me know?

Whatever happens, we have until Tuesday to maintain our lead.  Note that the world number one Ste\/e and all of my friends from Team Musketeers joined us.  I am not going to give in or give up yet.  Right now I am working on adding another 12 cores for the cause.   

[Dataman]

OK, I'll put some cores there until Tue. 

[JugNut]

You did good Mike M, I think the answer Kevin gave fixes the problem. (unless i'm missing something)

We're generating new galaxies images - so no worries.

The reason we respond quickly is we're the project scientists (and we're learning as we go along). We have no dedicated admins.

This is our project and is doing our science. So we have a vested interest in making it work the best we can :-)

Thanks for that JugNut, I'll pop back there and say thanks to Kevin. With my memory so screwed up, I'd even forgotten I'd posted that.    Plus one.

[JugNut]

POGS is down & i'm out of work units too.....  :furious:

[Cruncher Pete]

Just a heads up in case you have not seen that chat site on BOINCStats challenge.  Kevin said that the problem should be fixed within 4 to 6 hours and that was about four houres ago.  He than discovered another problem and adjusted the time to 6 to 8 hours.  We have no choice but to keep an eye out for the restart time...

[JugNut]

Thanks Pete, was just about to post same info.    So if we are lucky POGS could be back between 5.30-7.30pm tonight. (Sydney time)

[kashi]

Thanks for the update. I'm getting low now but still have about 2 hours of work left. I increased my cache to the max after the challenge commenced.

Chat site mentioned by Cruncher Pete is at http://boincstats.com/en/stats/challenge/team/chat/318


                   

[Mike Mitchell]

Thanks for the info Pete and Kashi, I sent you both a plus one for the assist.
