Nope.

The "Number Crunching" refers to processing/analysing the many numbers that make up the data for the signals recorded at Arecibo. Our computers 'crunch' through all that data.

The stats are just a bit of added fun for Human psychology...


Happy crunchin' and happy searchin',

The World Community Grid project is actually funded by a major drug company. Your computer is giving a drug company free cpu cycles. IMO, you should be paid to do research for them or at least get a voucher for 10% off some drugs.

Let me be clear - I'm making no accusations here. I'm just mighty puzzled. A user that typically turns in about 700 cobblestones a day (RAC), give or take, from 17 hosts, only a few of which have turned in anything recently suddenly got 28,677 credits in one day.

Would a very large cache being uploaded all at once from several computers be granted so much instantly? I suppose if they were the last to upload on all of the work units to achieve quorum it would have that effect.

Any of you gurus have a better idea that I do?

Again, I'm making no accusations here. Those of you that know me know it's not in my character to do so.

Which windows version is the fastest?
... and how much faster than official 5.15 on different CPUs?

Ooh...now things are getting interesting. :) I don't think there are any optimized Windows Enhanced applications in wide circulation besides the ones that Crunch3r used to offer. If you do look at Crunch3r's clients, though, I wouldn't use the numbers from the quick reference WU on marisan.nl to judge performance gains--the performance profile of that WU doesn't represent SETI performance in general, at least not from my experience optimizing for PPC.

Thanks. So, i will do a comparison between different versions (5.15, 5.12SSE, 5.12SSE2, ...).
I see 5.15 isn't optimized, i got a 10% faster code after 10 minutes work.
Hm...

Out of curiosity, how many of the four demands/requests need to be acceded to in order to end the strike. All four, three out of the four...?

Is there any single issue that if not addressed would supercede the others?

Mookie, as I stated, these are simply REQUESTS, not demands. This action is the only way I could think of to get our issues to the attention of project management. In that capacity, it has already served it's intended purpose, and the strike will officially end on schedule. I cannot, however, guarantee that all those who joined the strike will return. It is a personal choice. Perhaps "Strike" was a misnomer. "Demonstration" would, in retrospect, be a better term for what we are doing. Thank you, as well, for keeping this discussion civil. I would ask that my team mates NOT respond to any flaming that may arise, but to totally ignore it, no matter how bad it gets. It is my hope though, that we can have a free discussion without personal attacks or heated arguements.

Regards, Daniel.
