It seems that we need more space to publish our milestones, so, this is the new one.
I've just became first in Team Russia and over 4 million cobblestones right now. Will try to get higher with the new Xeon that I not even look at yet.
And a usual question. I've predicted that we will finish our S5R3 search even at the end of this summer (right now it is predicted to 6th of September).
Can we do this? What do you think?
Yes I just got the email telling me the Milestones III was being replaced so I figured I would stop by for a second (moderator email)
I think I need a new member on my team just keep me from falling behind the rest.
Not going to mention my team........that is for you to figure out 
(oh and I know you all just watched my Lakers pull out a win finally 
.....j/k)
crunch on.....later......
____________
I'm glad to see that Lakers had win. And so you should do. Just add more rigs to your farm and that's it - you'll be one of the best crunchers.
I instead will try myself to replace team founder... it's time to.
P.S. Do you speak Russian? I've just thinked about, because you lived in Israel and may be was communicating with Russians there.
Я очень не хорош на говорить ру??кий ?зык
I used to know some basic Russian but since I never had anyone to talk to all these years I have forgotton most of it.
Back in the 1990's I had to learn several different languages from Japanese to German and Russian.....but I forgot most of it since I usually just end up speaking English to everyone around the world.
And I tend to just read Hebrew text and still speak English.
Glad to hear you like the Lakers Stranger........I have been watching them play since the 1966-1967 season back when Jerry West was playing.
I played City League basketball in the US for about 20 years and got to play against a few pro's and college players.
I have been to lots of games so I got to meet lots of the NBA guys too.
(Kareem and Magic,James Worthy and Larry Bird way back in 1987 at the NBA All-Star game)
Do you get to see any of the games????
Я надею?ь что в?е хорошо где вы живете.
Сча?тливо crunching!

I'm glad you can speak my native language very well.
BTW, wow, did you really meet Magic in NBA?
2 Mikie Tim T: you have to crunch a little more and you'll be soon in TOP 100 as of individual statistics I suppose. Happy crunching and welcome to TOP 100!
I should be there in a week or so, hopefully for good. There's a few hot on my heels, though, that'll pass me soon enough. It'll be a while before I hit your stupendous milestone, though. It's good for the science that there's so much competition. We keep getting higher and higher in the project's floating point speed. That will bring the closure of S5R3 closer to the first of August, I'm betting.

You know that's just given me an idea! I wonder if some mob, like Intel say, would like to fund some reasonably cheap system whereby their logo could be assigned to accompany images that denote such milestones. So for various levels of achievement, perhaps case stickers could be sent out to reward users. A badge of sorts. It wouldn't require a full blown sponsorship or promotion deal per se, but be a bit like our local Aussie footy clubs - supported by Smith's, your local butcher - type of thing.
[ It reminds me of the bi-annual air show we have down here, at Avalon, where amongst all the other stuff, we buy sew-on patches, tea-shirts, caps and the like from the various specific squadrons. I asked one of the F-15 ground crew what they do with the money. 'Beer' was the reply. So I was reassured as regards contributing to a good cause. I've got a great shirt from a US Pacific maritime/surveillance platform that have an AWACS type looking plane. Top people, and they love a chat. ]

Well I was going to wait until I hit the 1 million mark but seeing my new number 888,888.82 I had to stop by here

Yep, this is quite nice number and it is rare chance to see it, so it should be marked here as an unusual (unique) milestone.
So, anybody else who can show use unusual milestones mark?
i hitted the 300.000 marker today, up to 700.000 combined projects.
i still like the boinc projects,up to 400.000 stones for einstein@home.
____________
Two milestones:
Passed 2 million mark on Einstein@Home this week, on my original Mac Pro (2 times 2 cores).
Also two years since I started contributing on 11-11-2006.
Passed 3M mark on Einstein 10 days ago, now I've passed 5M on combined BOINC stats....
____________
1 Million credits on Einstein@Home! Finally. Guess that makes me and Einstein millionaire! It's "only" taken since February 11, 2005 to reach this milestone.
Now, if the credits were only redeemable for cash, it would be even more exciting!

Hi Guys,
One million for me as soon as some of my pending credit comes through. Just like someone a few posts before me, it has only taken a few years (since Sept.11, 2006). Almost the whole million done on one machine (oc'ed q6600's kicks ass) and only for einstein@home. According to boincstats.com that's almost good enough to get into the top 10,000 accounts. When I first started I had no idea I would follow through for the next couple years. I may even start using a second machine soon. It's an older d805 so I'm not sure it would be worth the electricity (both those cores do not equal one of my q6600) but I'm not using it for anything else at the moment. Once people start using Nehalems, one million won't mean very much anymore. With 8 cores, one million will just fly right by. Another million will mean just as much to me though and be just as much fun. In a couple years maybe I'll be able to post another million.

But, I'm not the first one in my team now ;( because the first one is
_____2 e ______ who had got a barrier of 13 Million marks early this year.
Good job, 2e - I'll try this year to compete with your power.
Today for me its 200k, all done on room heaters,
well its winter here in UK so they come in usefull...___:)
.(well ok i gave the Q6600 a quick blast on tuesday)
about 10 wu, only 6 hours per wu, just to see what the modern stuff can do, hmmm . :)
Whith this stupid (sorry for the word) problem with Ukrainian gas transition it is became possible to heat houses and rooms with new modern processors - just remove the small speedy fan and put on huge 12cm fans instead and it'll be much warmer :)
So, come on guys, let's use coolers instead of usual house heaters - this will help us to reach 2 aims - warm the air and crunch more numbers.
May be this way we'll find the way to make energy from tiny black holes drifting everywhere between us ;)
Just went by 200k.

Actually there's quite a few E@H 'millionaires' now, also more than a few 'veterans', and similiarly 'mono-crunchers'. While not detracting from anyone's efforts at any level what-so-ever, it does demonstrate the attractive power/hold of this project. Keep in mind that this is over a period of recurrent downwards credit adjustments ( which I mention purely to illuminate cruncher devotion and not, please, to fire up a cross project discussion again. ) I conclude a hard-core of interest in the E@H science goals .... :-)

Hi Millioneers,
its today that i have been crunching one year for Einstein@home and have reached 209 475 points.
I like this project very much, because it's a kind of "silent approach" to the big bang: Keep the interferometers as stable as possible and listen what space-time is saying to us.
The other approach, to shoot particles together with as much energy as possible to reach conditions as they have been a short time after the big bang, is a bit too noisy and energy-dissipating for me.
I hope that in the near future we'll get Interferometers that are even more sensitive than those incredible ones of today and the signals we are searching for are not hidden so deeply in the noise as the are now. It's an interesting investigation, i hope i will be able to watch it for some years!

I did, yes I am, and either I was unlucky in my draw of parts, or am more grueling in my stability testing (72hrs of prime95 with the heat cranked up to 80F vs my summer AC target of 70, or my winter heating level of 65ish).

Having hard time reaching the 300000 credits mark with my little core 2 duo. Would a upgrade to an Q9550 help?
Filipe, a dedicated (7X24) Q9550 will deliver about 3800 credits per day (about 80 days per 300,000 credits). A Q6600 will deliver about 2900 credits per day (about 100 days per 300000 credits). Both estimates depend on the mix of E@h work assigned.
I looked to see the times you are accomplishing, but it appears you are not actively crunching at this time, so I can't compare those quads to your present production.

So whenever I checked during the last few days, the throughput of ABP2 was between 101% and 168% of the data acquisition rate. I guess this means that now the ABP2 search IS running at sustained real-time speed or better (compared to ca 40-50% real-time speed during ABP1 search) !!!
CU
HBE
So from this point we are begins to approach to one of our goals - finding all available(reachable) radio pulsars (to process all the data collected from ARECIBO).
Instead of going away from it as it was before! (when each new day brings much new data, more than we can process in 1 day, not to mention the huge archive of previously accumulated)
But there is still a lot of work ahead: even with the current processing speed to handle all the collected data (and continue to arrive daily) will need about ... 5.5 years.
2M BOINC credits. Next goal 2M E@H.

Yes, thank you!
The dying FX64 at 550/day -> Q8400 at 3800/day.
The Pentium 4 at 700/day -> i7-860 at 6600+/day.
The dead xp2600 at 0/day -> i7-860 at 6600+/day.
"Like parts" repair of the "dead or dying" boxes did not seem economically feasible. Some RAM from those redeployed to a utility Pentium D, which seems much "happier" with 3GB RAM.
The i7's run stock parameters except for the Mushkin RAM at 1600 Mhz.
In retrospect, the upgrade to Q8400 was not the best choice in credits/dollar. :( The boxes all needed microATX boards, so upgrade to i7-930 (with 3 channels to RAM) did not seem possible.
The Pentium 4 upgrade is running the same 32-bit Win Vista install, although I am seeing a hang-up every week or so that will cause me to reinstall Windows.

Well it seemed to be taking too long to get to the 2,000,000 mark so I picked up a 3-core on sale that is running like lightning for some reason (compared to my others) one of the others needs a new card so it it connect once again too.

After 11+ years at SETI, my cache has finally run dry. Many, many problems over at SETI. So, this morning I decided to give the i7 some new work to deal with, 1.68GB of work to deal with at that. As of a few minutes ago, my RAC is >0 on the left side of the decimal point. Woohoo! :) Been some years since I crunched for Einstein. I'm baaaaaaack! :)

Greetings Perryjay,
Well, I'm not so sure that I made the right decision to re-start Einstein. :(
[off-topic]
When I first built this i7 PC, I noticed a weird thing happening. My mouse cursor would suddenly jump from one spot of the screen to another. I would be in a text editor or most any program that required scrolling and the content would scroll on it's own. I would be on a website and suddenly, while reading a page, I would be back a page or 2 as if I had hit the back button, which I hadn't. I concluded that that problem was somehow related to my new PCI-E video card.
Then I re-attached to Einstein and my i7 really started acting weird. The system would really freak out. The Windoze start button would lose the label "Start". Browser tabs would lose their labels. After shutting down a program it would take quite some time for the window to go away. I even woke up one morning and turned the monitor on only to be greeted with the WinXP Pro screen saver. I don't use screen savers. The system was whacked beyond usage. The i7 even decided to re-boot all on its own once, the other day. I would see that waiting Einstein WUs would be "Waiting for memory".
I was hoping that maybe the video card was getting worse, so I bought a new one yesterday and replaced the "old" one. That fixed the first anomalous observations mentioned above. But, the others are still happening. So, Einstein is set to NNT and once my 200+ WUs are completed, I will not run Einstein and see if the problems disappear. If they do, I won't run Einstein again. If they don't, then I will have to dig deeper since that will tell me there is something else wrong. I did not have this problem when I was running SETI. So, you can see why I suspect that somehow Einstein is causing it.
It probably would not happen if this was a BOINC dedicated PC, but it's not, I do quite a bit of other work on it. Doing so caused no problems when running SETI alone. I'm taking a big chance, right now, by posting in this forum.
Maybe I can work with my BOINC settings and get this straightened out. Who knows? :)

This part " I would see that waiting Einstein WUs would be "Waiting for memory"." can be easily fixed it you just go into the Boinc Manager and click on Advanced, Preferences the nthe processor usage tab and change the number in the box that says
'While processor is less than [___] percent (0 means no restriction)'
Put a zero in that box and then click ok at the bottom and your pc will no longer wait for the cpu to fall below that numbers percentage of usage before crunching. In effect what it is doing is telling the cpu it is not busy it can crunch and busy means X%. By putting a zero in that box you are telling the pc to always crunch, but since Boinc runs at such a low priority other things bump it to the way background anyway.
You might also want to think about putting time restrictions on Boinc, so if you are busy and using the pc all day long you say do not crunch between 8 am and 6 pm, that is a setting under the nect tab, network usage. Always remember to click the ok button to save any changes and the changes are for THAT PC ONLY, not for any other pc!

Mikey/Gundolf, I think your fix for einstien will only make the rest of Siran's problems worse. A lot of what he's describing with his computer being very laggy, sounds like it's having to hit the swap file for his other apps/os tasks. Increasing the amount of memory Einstein can use will get the WU's running but make his computer run even slower.
Einstein work units are memory intensive. The ABP2 ones aren't that bad at 50MB each, but the S5GCE ones take about 250MB each. On an i7 with HT enabled that's a memory footprint as high as 2GB of ram, and since Siran's computer only has 3GB available that leaves only 1GB free for everything else. On a heavily used system that's not much.
Siran: at this point I think unless you're willing to upgrade to a 64bit OS, and install more memory I don't think Einstein will be a good choice for you to run on all your cores at once. With your current system I'd suggest either limiting Einstien to between 2 and 4 cores and running a different, lighter project on the rest; or switching Einstein out for something else entirely.

Greetings Mikey,
When I first saw the problems, after starting to crunch Einstein again, I had made the first setting change.
As for the second suggestion, I would have to re-boot every time I want to restart BOINC. If I stop it, BOINC will no longer make a connection with the localhost when trying to re-start. If I snooze BOINC, the science clients will not go back to work, even though BOINC tells me they are running. I verified this with task manager and found no clients running. The only way I can get it to re-connect and working again is to re-boot.
My solution is simple: I am making this post on my Linux PC, with BOINC running, crunching some last minute WUs I got from SETI. Other than the system, BOINC is the only thing running on my i7. If I have to do something on the i7, that I cannot do on this PC, I will shut down BOINC, do what I need to do, then when done, re-boot to get BOINC started again. I will do this until the last Einstein WU has completed. Then I will resume doing what I would normally be doing on the i7 and see if the problem go away. If it does, no more Einstein, if not, well, then I will have to dig deeper to find a cause for the problem. I did not have this drastic a problem with running SETI. I have had minor ones, but nothing that affected my whole system.
And by the way, Mikey, I'm not a n00b at running BOINC or any program on a PC. I know to click "OK" when changing a setting or whatever. I've been working with computers since the dark days of M$-DOG. ;)
Thank you for your suggestions! :)

Greetings Gundolf,
I have those 2 settings set to 50% and 90% respectively. I was using those settings to help regulate the CPU temp before I got my liquid CPU cooler. I only lowered the first one to 50% when I discovered this problem after starting with Einstein again. Would lowering the second one also be of some possible help?
Thanks for the suggestion. :)

Greetings Dan,
Funny you should mention this. I have been thinking that it was memory. So my original diagnosis, that Einstein is the culprit, was dead on! Woohoo! (sort of) :)
I would LOVE to upgrade to WinXP Pro 64 bit but I haven't seen anyone selling it, new, anymore. I refuse to go with Win7 just yet. I always give new Windoze OS releases a couple years before upgrading to them. I ran Vista on a laptop it came pre-installed on and swapped it out for Linux about 6 months later. Vista was crap. Sooooo..... I will stick with 32 bit for now and wait for SETI to get their new servers installed and running and the databases migrated.
I am trying to crunch Orbit, but we all know how that's going, right? ;) I may take a look at some of the other projects I have crunched.
Thanks for the suggestions, Dan. :)
Keep on BOINCing...! :)

Would lowering the second one also be of some possible help?
I can't tell for sure, but I would think that not.
I only wanted to say that mikey had suggested the wrong preference.
And if you want to continue on this topic, I strongly recommend to open another thread. We are waaaayyy off topic here. ;-)

Greetings again Gundolf,
[off-topic]
I'm going with what Dan posted; what I told Mikey my solution is.
[on-topic]
Including this one, 5, the most number of posts made to the Einstein forum in a single day. Woohoo! :)
Keep on BOINCing...! :)

I would LOVE to upgrade to WinXP Pro 64 bit but I haven't seen anyone selling it, new, anymore. I refuse to go with Win7 just yet. I always give new Windoze OS releases a couple years before upgrading to them. I ran Vista on a laptop it came pre-installed on and swapped it out for Linux about 6 months later. Vista was crap. Sooooo..... I will stick with 32 bit for now and wait for SETI to get their new servers installed and running and the databases migrated.
Are you only looking in retail? If so you'd've been hard pressed to find a copy even before Vista came out. There're still people selling it online though. I've included a link for the cheapest copy I found via a quick Google.

Greetings Dan,
I've always gone for the OEMs, they've always seemed to be the least expensive. My 32 bit version was $139.99 +shipping from TigerDirect. And that was OEM. That was November 2008 pricing. Hmmmm... I've had it for 2 years now. :) I just looked and TigerDirect has Win7 Pro 64 bit OEM version for $139.99, Home Premium OEM for $99.99.
At least I know XP Pro 64 is out there. I'll probably wait until after doing my taxes in a few months.
Anyway, Dan, as Gundolf pointed out, this is a bit off-topic. So I'll leave this thread for it's topic.
Thanks Dan, I was going to Google XP Pro 64 myself. :)
Keep on BOINCing...! :)

Back to the topic: it’s been a long time but I thought reaching two million called for a posting here …
____________
This morning, 6 Oct, I reached my 20M goal for E@h. I was slowed a bit when hot weather caused my air conditioning to choke on the PC's heat output so several PC's went quiet for a couple of months. Meanwhile, my oldest Q6600 went "casters up". Now in autumn, my LAN is back near full capacity with their heat output augmenting my poor old furnace, pending only the repair of the old Q6600. And some of those higher end i7's are looking very tempting! :)
On 22 Nov I passed 22M for E@H. I was going to let it pass unnoticed, but I have a comparison of several computers that may be of interest ... comparing productivity on ABP and on Correlations for i7-950, i7-860 at multiplier 21 and 22, Q9550 and Q6600's based on Run Times for Validated ABP and Validated Correlations.

Intel's new architecture (sandybridge) will launch next month. It's supposed to be about 20% faster per clock. I'd suggest holding off until then if possible.

If power is important to you, that may be particularly good advice. While I am very happy with my E5620, which is a Nehalem derivative called Westmere on 32nm and itself quite well behaved for power, the practical fact is that available motherboards for it were generally X58 chip set, and the one I chose is not low power at all.
For non-gamers, it appears that the SandbyBridge onboard graphics may well be good enough, which raises the power savings over that of the CPU alone.
Market positioning means that there should be reasonably priced consumer motherboards early in the life cycle. Whether those will be decently low power consuming remains to be seen but there is at least hope. I hope to use a SandyBridge in my next build--perhaps mid-summer 2011.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Yeah! That's great, that we are here for a long time and are doing together the best we can do - crunching. Happy crunching for everyone! And let your crunching dreams come true this New Year!
P.S. While we have a nice party here deep in the forest (in resourt - it is cold to party in the open air), my farm got me 22 million marks already.

Intel GPUs have been good enough for non-gaming/non-compute graphics for years. They've also been able to hardware decode most/all of the well established video codecs in the market when they launch (AMD/nVidia's discrete parts typically win this one by a year or two).

10M Einstien, 55M total.

Just noticed I passed 4M credits on Einstein two days ago!
____________
Seti Classic Final Total: 11446 WU.
Wow, I just passed 1 million credits. Back when I joined this project a few months ago, I did some quick math and said. Hmmm its going to take you a good year or so to do this Aaron.
Then I added my lap top.... then my main computer started acting up so I bought a new one and decided to go to the wall... big cpu, big gpu and sick it on einy...
then i decided hey... I got a few other computers around that dont suck much power, throw them on too.... so I did... now the laptops are players..
then I grabbed a computer I had laying around I built for another purpose and never really used.. now found out it's a dual core... geez dude. WTF.. you dont even know what you have laying at your knees??
Here we are, a few months later, NOT years later. but few months... and i hit the M mark. Amazing.. I am glad I could do it and be of service to the project, I just hope my contribution is actually worth something.

Past the 150k people!

Pleasing to see that I have hit 3 million for the group.
Also happy to see that the unrequired ATI GPU, works for a secondary project.

1 million on e@h.
But the temperatures outside are rising and soon the heating period is over. Then i will stop crunching until next winter.
3M
yes, winter is over and oveclocking ending too (
3.000.000+ Einstein credit...
4.000.000+ Einstein credit...
This million was harder than i thought.
But I'm ready for the next one. :-)
____________
Just passed 3 million. Nice.
Don`t know if this is the proper thread for this, but is there any way to find out how many WU`s I have completed? Thanks.

I don't think so. The credit size has varied greatly between different projects. In general newer science have higher credit WUs than older ones, and then as the apps are optimized the credit granted goes down. Occasionally it might jump up again if the optimization is good enough to package 2 or more old style WU's into a single new one while keeping the runtime reasonable.
____________
Just about to pass the 2 million mark for Einstein. Unfortunately, I have to shut down BOINC for a few months until I can get my finances squared away. I've 8,000+ pending credit, so should hit the milestone shortly. Later peeps, take care.
5 million Einsteins

I just saw that I passed 2 Million in the last few days. The first Million took me 3 years; the second Million only 300 days. Thanks to the CUDA app.

I just joined the E@H Millionaires Club. Thanks to the CUDA app, the next million shouldn't take nearly as long as the first...

Congrats Tony!
Now if you can get that on another certain project we will have to celebrate 
Hooray - just passed a quarter-million - it only took a year or so......but then I went to look at the leaders' records. I think Nemo will be chuckling away out there in never-never land !
5,000,000 overall BOINC credits.

Third year of Einstein chrunching completed: 671 122 credits. Go on!
I've just passed the 6 Million border with einstein@home since August last year.

From DanNeely:
Einstein work units are memory intensive. The ABP2 ones aren't that bad at 50MB each, but the S5GCE ones take about 250MB each. On an i7 with HT enabled that's a memory footprint as high as 2GB of ram, and since Siran's computer only has 3GB available that leaves only 1GB free for everything else. On a heavily used system that's not much.
Siran: at this point I think unless you're willing to upgrade to a 64bit OS, and install more memory I don't think Einstein will be a good choice for you to run on all your cores at once. With your current system I'd suggest either limiting Einstien to between 2 and 4 cores and running a different, lighter project on the rest; or switching Einstein out for something else entirely.
Is the way for restricting Einstein to using only 2 or 4 cores usable for other BOINC projects as well? I have adequate memory for running Einstein on all the cores on my computers at once, but not enough to do it for some of the other BOINC projects I participate in.
As of today, Einstein just crossed 400 TFlops. Imagine how quickly it'll ramp up from here when they get an OpenGL app!

Just got my 1st million credits on Einstein, 2 million on BOINC overall coming up shortly.

IIRC I was thinking of a hack in one of the xml files that control boinc; so it should be applicable to any project; but after half a year I'm not sure what I had in mind.

Unbelievably.
After over 6 years, I´ve done the same. Now I will have alook, if I can buy a ice for them.
No, I´m really a little proud of me.

Finally, I've reached 30M barrier right to the time of the event being held in Hanover. This year I see a lot of new participants with lot of powerful machines. So, there is a way to use this new young power and there is way for me to grow up my park of machines to compete with them.

I have a quad-core that would be doing the same thing but as I just mentioned on another thread the thing decided it doesn't want to connect to the Einstein server (I am posting this from that pc in fact)
Just crossed the 10M credit line for Einstein

It appears I hit the 1 million barrier over here. That's many years of hard crunching.

I always install BOINC on machines where memory requirements are satisfied. But I set them to use as low CPU resources as possible just to not interfere with users.

3.7mil on CPU only, but just fired up my first GPU cruncher yesterday. Old equipment I found around the office, dell gx620 and a gt420. Had to cut away some of the fan shroud to get the 420 in. Seems to run pretty hot, so I wonder if I can sneek it into the server room where its nice and cool...;)

Hey. Entire E@H project pass 500 TFLOPS mark first time, and no one ever noticed?
If the project was a supercomputer(not DC), it would take 14th place in the world in terms of performance in most powerfull supercomputer list. (data from top500.org, last TOP-500 update)
Congratulations to project team and to all participants!
15M Einstien, 102M overall.

I started crunching again on the 4th of this month after years of not crunching at all. I bought a Nvidia GTX-550Ti-OC (Gigabyte) for some extra GPU power. I finally reached the 50k mark on Einstein, after numerous milestones on other projects and my BOINC total. If you want to check them you can view my milestones on Free-DC and my stats on BOINCstats.
