where have all the DC'ers gone?
 

There were over 2,000 in July....as of today under 1,700.
Is George no longer giving LL testers 25% DC?
Or is DC so like last year :)

[QUOTE=petrw1;360636]Is George no longer giving LL testers 25% DC?[/QUOTE]

Correct. Perhaps, I should again give "Do what makes most sense" users a few DCs?

[QUOTE=Prime95;360637]Correct. Perhaps, I should again give "Do what makes most sense" users a few DCs?[/QUOTE]

Wouldn't hurt...

We "survived" the incident earlier this week where Primenet didn't recycle expiring exponents for a day; Primenet still didn't issuing anything for LLing not TFed to at least 74 and P-1ed. And the TFing is continuing to slowly pull ahead.

But perhaps a bit more of a lead would be advisable... Very easily accomplished in the short term by sending even only something like 10% of Primenet.WMS to DCing for a short while.

As I've mentioned a few times before, it would be nice to have a LL and DC graph on GPU72 just like P-1. :smile:

Please forgive me for being in "high-bandwidth" mode...

Could you please give me some idea as to the variables you'd like plotted on a graph and/or in a table?

Are there any current graphs you can point me to which are currently rendering this, or similar, data?

Again, I'm sorry if this comes across as being "short"; it's not meant to be. We just need to fully define the export you're after, and current examples tend to assist in such work.

I don't know, something like this?
[URL="https://www.gpu72.com/graphs/p-1/month/"]https://www.gpu72.com/graphs/p-1/month/
[/URL]
Or even just a simple line [URL="https://www.gpu72.com/graphs/lltf/month/"]graph[/URL] to show how many DC's are done a day.

This sounds pretty good to me.

OK...

Would something like [URL="http://www.mersenne.info/exponent_status_tabular_delta_30/1/0/"]this expose some of the data[/URL] you would like to see?

It gives you a high-level view of candidate status. Click to drill down.

Please let me know what additional variables you'd like to see exposed on a report like this.

I suppose so... but I'm a real graphic/visual person and reading spreadsheets have always been a pain for me...

I think just a DC version of the P-1 graphs [URL="https://www.gpu72.com/reports/overall/graph/month/"]here[/URL] at bottom etc. is fine.

[QUOTE=kracker;360663]I suppose so... but I'm a real graphic/visual person and reading spreadsheets have always been a pain for me...[/QUOTE]

So, would [URL="http://www.mersenne.info/exponent_status_line_graph_30/2/30000000/"]something like this[/URL] work?

(And, yeah... Sorry. I know about the error in 33M. I just haven't had time to fix it, but the delta reports should be accurate. The source of this data is a server in Barbados, rather than the 1-level-away server in NA.)

:double facepalm:.... Sorry. I meant graphs for gpu72.

But thanks for the link interesting. bookmarked :smile:

This reminds me of 'eighties, (1983) when few east-European countries put together a small "demo" military application, somewhere in the northern Turkey, about [B]60%[/B] (no joke) of the "front line" was reserved for the Russians, and the rest was taken by different other countries, including Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, Turkey, etc., some of these guys came with their battalions [U]a week before[/U] (we included) to "have time to install the front line". Just few hours before the exercise start, everybody was there, prepared, except the Russians, who didn't seem to care a dime. Everybody got impatient and they called the red lines, "[B]yeah, yeah, harasho! we are coming, we are coming, the boys are coming...[/B]" - there were few thousand kilometers, and a mountain to cross, and we all made fun of the Russian troops marching through the forest 500km away with just two hours before the exercise was scheduled to start, but in reality everybody was a bit scared if they should start preparing their rocket launchers and start without the Russians (which would have been a political mistake), or wait, which would been a fail from the military point of view...

Then just one hour before the start, with everybody sweating (and not only because of the heat of the desert!) the sky was dark and a Niagara noise filled the air... It was the first time in my life when I saw (without having any idea before that such thing is even possible! And we were "air landing" troops ([para]"chutes"), "elite troops", staying aside, with guarding mission, we were not part of the "parade"), so, first time in my life when I saw [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-10_tank#Models"]T10M[/URL] ([U][B]HEAVY tanks[/B][/U]!) parachuted from the air planes![U] Hundreds of them![/U] They felt like a stone for a while, then opened 4 parachutes at the corners, how the hack they could control it and avoid the tank to roll upside down in the air was a mystery for me, and just before touching the ground, they released the parachutes (avoid getting entangled?) and small explosions were detonated under the tank (to slow the falling). It literally [U]"rained"[/U] with tanks. They bumped few times when touched ground, then started running (what the hack!?!? :shock: the tank operators were inside!:shock:) to take their place on the front line. All the circus took about 30-40 minutes till all the front line was installed, and we were all watching jaw dropped, like idiots...

[B]where have all the DC'ers gone?[/B]
It´s obvious, everybody knows: "Young girls have picked them everyone..."
For me it´s the most obvious, and pleasant, explanation. I don´t intend to return any time soon.

Short story:

One time (1994 maybe?) we got short notice to attend the Army's loadmaster course. It was a two week program about how to plan, rig and load just about anything onto C-130, C-141 and C5A airplanes. Basically it was a lot of repetitive simple math to calculate the overall center of gravity and a lot of hazardous material rules and stuff.

Each calculation was done by hand. Even to move a helicopter one foot to the left, you had to calculate the whole load again. It took about an hour to do all of the math assuming no mistakes were made.

So, I took my pocket HP100LX with Lotus 1-2-3 and programmed it to calculate everything and give a go/no-go answer within 20 seconds, but they wouldn't let me use it.

FWIW, when we dropped tanks, we flew low and used a drogue parachute to pull them out of the airplane (Without people inside them!) on large pallets.

Note: It is amazing how much stuff you can fit into a C5A!

Have you seen how great the inside of the C-17 is? The outfitting inside has benefited from all of the lessons learned on the other planes. Fast loading, fast change over, etc.

The C-17 came online just before we ended our military service. The unit we were assigned to (1/504PIR) was (IIRC) the "test" unit for personnel drops.

[SIZE="1"]Guess who the regimental commander was?[/SIZE]

Yeah, I've noticed that I haven't gotten any DC assignments in a long time.

Why are you so self-confident? PrimeNet's Lifetime report says I will overtake you in ... 315 days :shock:

Do you mean there are a large number of clients working on DC outside the server assigned tasks?

[QUOTE=tha;360968]Do you mean there are a large number of clients working on DC outside the server assigned tasks?[/QUOTE]
No, I was just boasting about my computing power, hehe (people already know me and my big mouth!). Replying to the "nostalgic" tone of the thread title, and trying to "comfort" the poor OP. And reminding to the few of my "enemies" that I am coming for them, as soon as I get into 100 percentile at P-1. (soon! soon!)

Now joking apart, I think this "competition" atmosphere is good for the project, as long as everybody understand the humor and take it without feeling offended. And to reply (partially) to your question, I don't take all my assignments through GPU72, that is why I talk more about "PrimeNet Lifetime Stats" (having the advantage of the "lifetime" particle too, being a long time contributor, but a "moody" one, I mean "not constant") and less about other "tops" like "gpu72" or primenet's "last year", etc.

Hmmm.
I seem to remember a good-humoured and scrupulously fair debate about this somewhere.

I thought Chris came to the unanimous conclusion that he was TFing everything to 74 with consummate ease.

Did he succeed in reducing the demand for new LL assignments?

And now its P1....
 

About a year ago P1 had over 2000 users in the ytd report.
Now it is just over 1000 with a big drop recently...is it a result of dropping unneeded assignments? Or just a collective realization that after years of near begging by George we are now all caught up?
