Would it be possible to get the Work Generator working a little harder? We're having a bit of a tough time throwing you a proper Going Away Party with it being so hard to get work. :)

I doubled the size of the workunit generator, let's see if the server can pick up shortly. Thanks for the good work! :-)

Thanks for the quick response. Let's see if it catches up to demand. :)

Any chance you could triple it? :) I just added a 12 thread machine and after 40 minutes I still only have 6 threads running. I have 5 more machines to add... if I can get work that is.

Stop hogging all the WU's Mumps!!! Leave some for the rest of us!!!

And Mumps.... it's a shame you haven't rejoined TPR for the last few days... with your output we would have finally caught P3D

I wish I *was* hogging them all. But I'm still just limping along with just about nothing in cache like the rest of the community. :)

Won't say I hadn't considered it. :)

Still seems to be having problems meeting demand. Is there anything else you can do, Boyu, to get a few more WU's making it out to the party?

Thanks for the active crunching!! :-) I will increase again so that we use 80% of the shared memory capacity. Let's see if the server generates more work after a short while.

Thanks much!
Boyu

Please be gentle when you stomp me!!!

Although TPR never quite caught P3D I think we can be proud of our effort for a small team and personally I'm surprised I've managed to stay top 20 despite dropping down to just 2 Docking crunchers.

Everything but data-driven web pages and upload/download server failed in Not Running state ...

Could you check it ?

We'll need to go stop in at the local pub to have a pint as I move on by overnight tonight. :)

That's some impressive numbers you are putting out. I raise my glass to you!!!

I graciously concede my place to you and would also like to thank you for your contribution to the TPR team total

There is a very small percentage of crunchers that have a large level of support for these projects, yours included. Please find a way to run an extra month with another million WU's so that the people who were supporters for you all these years can reach the crunching level that they are trying to achieve. It would be a cool thank you on your part. Thanks, Patrick
