Talk about a huge set of guns, gotta hand it to Axel Jaeger for GridKa and his killer band of crunchers.

Looks like he just brought them online just a litte while ago and he's already near/at the top.

Awesome job.

Dual Quad Xeon army squashing its way to the top. Love to see that kind of power brought to the task. Then again, now I know where all our work units went. Just kidding.

This is the tribute of the Alliance Francophone for the 10 year birthday of the SETI project.

Nice! :-)

But, ohh.. it's a pity..

From this what I understood with my english/german.. ;-) ..it will end at April 20. ?

Friday April 03 - 18h to Monday April 20 - 18h

Why? :-D

SETI@home need support! :-)


..although you come from an other team. ;-D
Maybe our teams could make a competition? :-)
..SETI@home would be happy about! *thumb up*


Hey - maybe more teams again?
Last year we didn't had a SETI@home-Gauntlet.. but '07.

Well, our "raids" are the opportunity to group all the components (aka "mini-teams") of our team around one objective.

It usually lasts 2 weeks. Then everybody goes back to its pet projects.

As you can see here, SETI represents 25% of our credit and 35% of our RAC (which is currently calculated around 2.000.000, but this is the race effect).

As a matter of facts, this means that even after 20th April, SETI will certainly not be totally left aside by the Alliance Francophone. :-)

However we try the bring some variety, so another race on SETI is unlikely to be voted soon.

First of all, my complements to your RAC developments!

Second, ahhh good ;) then we can start thinking again about going for third place WorldWide! A place we had until early 2006 ;)

So, wait and see, the Dutch are coming! ;)

So run, run fast (but not this fast! :p)


PS: I am working hard to improve our stats system, one of the things I also have in mind is a Gauntlet.. it has been suggested earlier.. it's too early now for me to get into it.. there are still a lot of things I'dd like to get "up and running".. hmmmm.... a 10 year anniversary Gauntlet... it does have a nice ring to it.. doesn't it.. (everything has to happen in my "free hours".. and my wife sometimes already thinks I am an alien.. ;).. )..
