1) Message boards : Number crunching : 20,000,000,000 Credits across ALL BOINC Projects (Message 25618)
Posted 15 Dec 2006 by Profile old_user808
Post:
As far as I can tell... the update I have just run at BOINC Synergy calculates that the total work done across ALL projects (including Alpha Beta stage projects) just passed

20,000,000,000 Total credits!

A good day for BOINC.

Looks like CPDN tipped over the 100K hosts that have connected and returned work at some stage to CPDN BOINC.

Quite an amazing achievement...

While this little graph doesnt show hosts... it does show the amazing rise and rise of CPDN

Its actually quite interesting if you compare the projects.

I agree... on CPDN one member leaves the credits they have added WHILST in the team DO leave and go to the new team.

On the other hand... in SETI (and some of the other BOINC projects) if a member leaves, their credits DO NOT leave with them (but the new credits will be added to the new team ... old credits stay... of course individual total is unaffected)

This makes me wonder if it is not a setting/option that is given to BOINC admin of individual projects. If so I would be very interested as to why CPDN has set it to "credits follow" rather than "credits stay"...

Interesting...

4.24 (now out) like 4.23 are "DEVELOPMENTAL".

People that use these versions are effectively Beta-testing "relatively" stable releases. Problems like these digital signatures come up... and will be addressed but not always overnight.

Simple thing is if you DONT want the hassle keep using your stable platform UNTIL on news boards a OFFICIAL release is made (non developmental).

6) Message boards : Number crunching : URL change for BOINC World Stats from \"BOINC Synergy\" (formerly SETI Synergy) (Message 9556)
Posted 19 Feb 2005 by Profile old_user808
Post:
Hello all,

Just a note to say 2 things.

1. (The one most of you will most care about)... the statistics site <b>"BOINC Stats for the WORLD"</b> has changed its url to <a href='http://www.boincsynergy.com/stats/index.php'>http://www.boincsynergy.com/stats/index.php</a>.

The good news is all old pages which have www.setisynergy.com/stats/blah.php will still work... <b><i>so you DONT HAVE TO change your bookmarks if you dont want to.</i></b>

2. The BOINC teams "SETI Synergy" will now be known as <a href='http://www.boincsynergy.com'><b>"BOINC Synergy"</b></a>. This name change has not been something we as a team have rushed into... in fact I have been mulling over it for over 3 months now.

While our members still crunch hard for SETI@Home our team has embraced the BOINC projects... and now TRULY emcompasses ALL BOINC projects. 90% of our members run 2 or more BOINC projects. SETI Synergy did reflect our long history... but didnt reflect our dedication to ALL BOINC projects and the future.

My feelings were we had to keep the word SYNERGY. This word to me really reflects our team, the members from all around the world, the dedication, the spirit. BOINC Synergy is so simple... and while it doesnt SLIDE off the tongue like Seti Synergy... I think its a GREAT name, and when people see then name they will make the very quick connection with our old name.

Anyway... rambling as usual.

Just though some of you may want to know about the URL changes.

Cheers,
Zain

One thing for sure... after this press release, and the controversies it is causing around the world in the political scene... CPDN has had a SURGE of members.

Here is one of the graphs from my stats site... displays it beautifully...

More people crunching, more results, and in time more press and evidence. All good things.

11) Message boards : Number crunching : SETI Synergy Stats are BACK ONLINE (a few important notes) (Message 7128)
Posted 1 Jan 2005 by Profile old_user808
Post:
Hello all,

Thankyou all for your support over the past few days. Many people have dropped by, offered help, best wishes and even money!

I have been working double time to get the brand spanking new dedicated server up and running...and were ALMOST there. So I have turned the stats back on!

<b><a href="http://www.setisynergy.com/stats/index.php">SETI Synergy Stats - Click here</a></b>

<i>There are a few important things people should realise</i>. There are lost of changes so here are the major ones:

* URL names HAVE changed. You can find all the new names at the site... but basically the changes are similary to this... was teams_cpdn.php now teams.php?project=cpdn (you may need to update bookmarks)

* Added a <a href="http://www.setisynergy.com/chat/index.php">CHAT room</a>. You dont have to register, and you can often find myself, or one of the other SETI Synergy members that knows whats going on. Easy way to get all your answers you want immediately about ANYTHING SETI or BOINC

* For now the AUTOMATIC updates are turned off... they will be turned on within a day or so (note they ARE being updated manually though).

I hope you all enjoy the stats again. Now things are more stable you will see NEW features coming on SETI Synergy stats (as we have the POWER now *cackle*

Cheers, happy new year and keep crunching for BOINC hard!

12) Message boards : Number crunching : About SETI Synergy Stats being down... (Message 7104)
Posted 30 Dec 2004 by Profile old_user808
Post:
Hello all,

Sorry about all the confusion. It has been (needless to say) a very hectic hair pulling out week!

Up until 4 days ago, SETI Synergy had been hosted at a mutual friends web host. I was let know at that stage that SETI Synergy was just using TOO many resources and something needed to give. So I started looking into my code for some places for optimization.

3 days ago the account was suspended ... and that was that!

SETI Synergy Stats (which many of you love) was getting 150,000 hits per day, churning out over 30-40Gb per month in bandwidth, and with the SQL operations putting very high load demands on the CPU and RAM on the shared host.

The solution... new host. I spend 2 days researching, 1 day talking to 4 prospective hosts, and now am setting up a new Virtual Private Server. So far so good... but there is still a LONG way to go including setting up email, copying across ALL the web pages, forum etc... and most importantly getting the stats up and running again.

LUCKILY... there is aweekend coming up *hehe*. Pity I work 110 hours a week at my day job (other wise it would all happen sooner).

So I am very very sorry to the community at large for the outage, and not letting everyone know earlier. As much as now I have to pay a large amount of money for the server each month, hopefully the ads provided, and the occasional donation (from generous members... which I NEVER ask for... but sometimes just happen) will keep everything square and even.

So sit back and enjoy the other stats until Synergy stats are back. The good thing about all this is now I will have the resources to add MORE elements to the stats, realtime graphs etc!!!

Cheers,

Zain Upton - SETI Synergy creator.

Looks Like SETI Synergy Stats for the world are a bit slow off the mark! *evil grin*.

We too have LHC data up and running, and Pirates actually IS running, but the links are not visible yet (doesnt REALLY matter since they are still only internally beta testing.

14) Message boards : Number crunching : Something strange in the stats (Message 4378)
Posted 20 Sep 2004 by Profile old_user808
Post:
This was explained by Carl in one of the other threads, though I cant explain exactly which one.

In short (my memory is vague now that its been a while), Carl had to "update" the CPDN database, as there was an error of some kind which mean that certain individuals had been given too much credit for certain work units. The update simply recalculated what their total was suppose to be.

For the vast majority of users there was no change, for some they went BACKWARDS on that day (all be it backwards to their correct total instead of being artificially inflated)

Post:
I think it will be interesting to watch... there will of course be a few days lag between after new users join until their credit starts rolling in, so I think we can expect quite a rise in the slope of the credit line in the next few days.

Nearly doubled the number of uses after closed BETA in 2 days. Good effort I would say. Next update on that graph will be in 2 hrs from now (23:45pm GMT daily)
