Stone
What type of Sparc CPU is it?
  • Sun UltraSPARC (512KB L2) x 4 @ 200MHz each = 6hr 42min
  • Sun UltraSPARC-II (4MB L2) x 4 @ 200MHz each = 6hr 21min
  • Sun UltraSPARC-IIe (256KB L2) x 4 @ 200MHz each = 9hr
  • Sun UltraSPARC-IIi (2MB L2) x 4 @ 200MHz each = 6hr 31min
  • Sun UltraSPARC-IIi (256KB L2) x 4 @ 200MHz each = 8hr 29min
  • Sun UltraSPARC-III (8MB L2) x 4 @ 200MHz each = 8hr 48min
  • Weitek SPARC Power uP (1MB L2) x 4 @ 200MHz each = 19hr 35min

It'd be a pair of hyperSPARC modules with 512KB of L2 per processor, but I'm just playing at the moment :)

...would be nice to own though ;)

Strangely, it won't let me join..

Though I have only just got back into it after, ohhh... 5 years 8O

But for the main app my old login and password still work! Just not for joining groups :roll:

Though the two units I completed on my trusty PII-233 in 1999 took 288 hours.

This XP3200+ box, and t'other XP1900+ box make a llovely difference ;)

You noticed, eh? I've been gaining steadily on you for weeks now. I was planning to make some suitably smart-ass comment once I puncture the top ten. :twisted: It'll be slower going after that, though.

If I get my wife's computer replaced with the Barton 2500 I've got in the works I should pick up a little more speed as well.

Well, s'just a question of time 'til I'm overtaken. A fair amount of time maybe, but it will happen :)

Have you tried getting them to e-mail you your password? You can do so from here...

http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/get_passwd.html

afaik the client only needs your mail address, not your password to connect so it may be worth getting them to mail you the p/w and trying again(?)

Indeed! 8O

Nice going there. I expect I'll have given up on SETI before I get that far.... I've been thinking about maybe Foldin@Home. I mean, now that I've pushed Dvorak out of the top ten, what else is there to look forward to? ;)

Oops, major changes happen...

http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/transition.php
Because of this change, SETI@home accounts will have separate old and new work totals. The old total is the workunit total from the current SETI@home. It won't change, and a section of our web site will show the final leaderboards based on old work totals. New work unit totals will start from zero.

Yeah I noticed the new BOINC thing the other day but it looked like too much reading at the time :-)

I also noticed I've gone down a place in the group as well :-(

But like the Murphys 'I'm not bitter', ti's for a good cause after all.

Good work Mr Simmons!

Hmm, ok....

Downloaded BOINC and installed, but just keep getting "Messages" stating that "No Schedulers responded" when I provide the SETI URL/Account Code I got in my "Account activated" email...

Noticing that I have just sneaked past Dvorak (but only because he stopped returning units a week ago) and got back into 11th place, it also came to my attention that the group has accumulated 99.200 years of CPU time and should breach the century barrier some time later this week.
