If you haven't been crunching LHC, now's a good time to re-attach.

Every time we run them out of work units I feel a strange sense of pride and satisfaction. Laughing

Yesterday it dropped to 0 and then they must have re-issued a bunch that had failed validation because it jumped up to 4,000 or so. Now it is back at 0. Unfortunately this computer decided to lock up and when I restarted BOINC it detected that the client_state.xml file had been corrupted so it reset all projects and I lost a bunch of LHC work. #Mad

Oh well. Life happens.

Here's a status report on the project.

http://lhcathome.cern.ch/announcement4.html

The work comes in waves - they have to stop and analyze results before launching another wave of work units...

LanDroid · Dec. 19, 2005

Stay tuned, more work will be on the way...

According to the LHC website they are work right now.

Yeah, I know, after I got some, I suspended all other projects temporarily, and increased my cache size a bit to "horde" some LHC WUs Very Happy

I'll return the cache size back down to .8 days before resuming work fetch for any other projects...

My Athlon 64 will be doing LHC pretty exclusively for several days, until this batch runs out...

I was hoping my nemisis wouldn't notice until much later, but the horrid wabbit has tipped him off.

Don't worry Son Goku, the race is on and I intend to pass you on this batch.

Who knows, but actually I started crunching LHC yesterday... The project wasn't suspended, so BOINC notified me already in the form of new WUs Very Happy

Oh, and I noticed, you certainly added a lot of computers to take 1 lone machine down Very Happy

Felt nervious? #ni-1

He did feel nervious... I looked at his comps WU totals #Rofl

thx for the idea though, not that I pulled things as tight as 90 WUs on a single CPU #ni-1

Though keep in mind that it's more total rankings that I think of advancing in, not any particular individual... When the day is done, a number is still a number, and one spot advance is just as good as any other #ni-2

But one thing is good in all this, the last month I was thinking whether we'd advance on Pheonix Rising (the #14 team in LHC). It looks like we might have a chance to make them nervious Cool

Hi all,

Well some WU's at last - fortunately it's on different hosts to my QMC effort so at least they will be little impacted - just wonder who'll be the winners and losers on the latest CERN unit grab (I'm getting my fair share).

Ni!

I've grabbed a few myself. Stopped Sieving until this batch runs out.

I got several this time around which is about normal for me.

I've joined and got a few myself. My meager shrubbies will really be meager, but, better than nothing I guess.

I pulled about a weeks supply, after seeing what Shrubbery did after declaring hostilities on me :rofl

Well, in any case, after he pulled what looks like it could be a 10 days supply perhaps on some of his computers #Rofl

he might finally advance... But it's funny that my then typical LHC crunching made him so nervious... Now would be the perfect time for another knight to encrouch upon his other project standings, while he's turned full attention to me. Just get the flank from behind #ni-1

Hmm, just imagine if I had my X2 already, and a job as a network admin at a company where I could install BOINC on all their systems... Well not yet anyhow, and on the latter front who knows. Albeit, given I'm looking for a summer job on the local military base, probably not... Security there, is obviously rather tight Very Happy

Except I wouldn't lose a job for a few more credits Smile

It's really not all just for your benifit, you just happen to be a handy target. :evil

And the one box is a dual Opteron, yes, it's a long supply but they will finish. Soon as I can afford the cpus it will be a quad.

I have all my computers set to automatically crunch totally LHC whenever work becomes available. It tends to average out over the long haul. I did change my network cache to grab what I could while they were there. Figure I probably raked in a total of 300 wu counting the ones that were completed and reloaded.

Hopefully it will help out the team and CERN some. The stats are fun, the science is what matters.
