[Per Hansson]

Yup, because I just reached one million points and supprassed LNCPapa!

TechSpot UD Team @ grid.org

 

[LNCPapa]

This thread needs a bump since it has fallen of most people's 30 listing.

 

[Didou]

Oh gee, is that project still alive ? :giddy:

 

[Per Hansson]

So, who is gonna challenge my leadership in UD now?

 

[LNCPapa]

An interesting link I found - not sure if it has been posted yet but I cannot check right now

http://statsman.ww-testsites.co.uk/udstats/html/1711.html

 

[lalaji]

Nice... Im number 5 on the chart overall. Does that stat page get updated regularly? In other words can i bookmark it to keep track of how we are doing so i dont have to log in all the time?

 

[LNCPapa]

I'm thinking so - look at the top left-hand corner and it was updated just today. I can't be sure that it'll be around forever though.

 

[lalaji]

Did anyone take a look at the stats page recently? Im pretty sure its messed up since it thinks i submitted 25,524,611 points in one day and now account for 415.48% of the total. Does everyone else see this or did something just go screwy when i hit the page? Lemme know cuz this is weird.

[LNCPapa]

Yeah - it's messed up - but if you scroll down you'll see that there's an adjustment going on for that extra 25.5 mil you just turned it today If it goes through you should see it subtracted tomorrow.

 

[lalaji]

ok good... at first i was like where did my name go? I was lookin in slot #5... then i saw myself as 1 and was like wth? well anyway i hope this gets fixed so i can keep referring to this vs having to log in on grid.org to see the stats.

 

[Page2564]

I would like to help, but the site has been down for atleast 2 days now. I found it in a google search but I don't want to mess up our stats. what should I do?

 

[Didou]

I've edited the first post with the correct links. I've just tried them & they work. Try again.

 

[SOcRatEs]

Hmmmm?

would not allow me to login for any reason
wait for reply from them

grid computing

I have been a member of WCG since nov.--Protein folding is this the same program

 

[Didou]

This does not have much to do with distributed computing, does it ?

 

[LNCPapa]

The post prior to yours, Didou, was purged.

 

[Spike]

I just started on this project 2 days ago, and so far have generated about 680 points, but my stats aren't updating on the team page, or anywhere else for that matter - any ideas?

On another note - I've found the following for caching work units (via the grid.org forums) Has anybody come accross this? http://udmon.sourceforge.net/

and a page full of third party apps... http://forum.grid.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=8790

 

[Per Hansson]

The UD project has shut down, you can read about it on their mainpage:

http://www.grid.org

Unfortunately it seems that whenever I try to see our stats I get a 404 page that then redirects to the mainpage...

But we ranked #634 out of all teams ever created...

The correct URL should be: http://www.grid.org/services/teams/team.htm?id=62F87CFC-78BD-4E37-9F2A-B56107D642E2

So Please if you get the stats take a screenshot and put it up here on the forums...

 

[Julio Franco]

I was unable to enter any team's page, probably those have been removed now that the project was complete. I did take this screenshot though (see attachment - TechSpot Team ranked #451 all time).

 

[kitty500cat]

I haven't yet figured out...what exactly is this? Is it just that you're donating your computer for research on all this stuff?

 

[Tedster]

It is a distributed computing project. There are many like this. One of the oldest is SETI. Techspot used to have a distributed computing forum, but it was seldom used.

Distributed computing means donating unused clock cycles on your computer to process information that is then sent to a central data bank. By and large these these programs are scientific in nature. With DC you can achieve greater computational power than 1 giant mainframe.

Millions of small computers can process greater info than 1 or two giant computers.
