Gary i think you forgot vaughan is in Sydney.

Anyway i was bored so had a look at the world clock.
I wasn't 'having a dig'

Oops, yeah Vaughan is the one in Sydney. I don't know where AMDave is. lol

Yeah, I knew you weren't having a dig. I just used it as a reason to potentially come up with a better start/end time in the future.

Dave is in Brisbane but we are both on the same time zone now that Daylight Saving is over.

Just added and I7-920 @ 3.5 GHz - let's see what that adds to my daily output on port 8000. :smile:

If the rally start times were changed to +5 hours, I'd be home to make the switch over :wink:
18hrs 35 mins to go :grin:

You'll just have to switch them over before you leave home or the night before. :smile:

I move all mine over the night before because I'm generally not out of bed until almost 2 PM CDT anyway, which is when the rally starts local time here.

With 2 people in Australia, we can consider moving the next rally 1-3 hours later, which would put it between 6 and 8 AM local time there, 9 PM to 1 AM in Europe, and 2 to 5 PM in the mainland U.S.

Works for me, could go 5 hrs earlier with no problems here. :)
Looks like the I7 does ~60 per hour.

It would be another option to start them fairly early to mid morning in the U.S., which would be mid to late afternoon in Europe, and around 11 PM to 1 AM in Australia...perhaps 2-3 PM GMT.

I personally have a distaste for mornings so I haven't throw out that option but if people like that idea better, then we could do it.

I think it would force almost all U.S. folks and some from Europe to switch their machines over the night before if they work typical office business hours. Since it can take quite a while to move many cores over, a lot of people wouldn't have the time in the morning. So I'm not sure if it is the best idea unless people don't mind doing that.

Rally is port 8000
 

I just want to make sure that everyone is aware that like last time, the rally will be on port 8000.

By the next rally that we have, port 8000 will likely be nearing or above n=600K so we could consider having a rally on multiple ports since most will be at n>600K by that point.

Let's roll! :smile:

IB is that on each of the 4 cores or in total? Have you tried it with hyper-threading ie 8 cores?

All 8 cores, full HT mode on at 3.5GHz.
