The C443 and L6 servers are up and running! Feel free to shift machines to C443 (L6 is pretty full with Lennart's machines) to further help the load-balancing (though, actually, we're doing pretty well with the loads so far, assuming the numbers shown in the table above are truly representative of the actual load).

Also, if you have any machines that are behind restrictive firewalls that LLRnet normally doesn't work through, give C443 a try--since it's on port 443 (usually used by HTTPS), it's allowed on most firewalls.

Judging from the "last 25 results" page on the AES300 server, it would seem that there is significantly more cores on that server than has been reported in this thread. Does anyone know how many cores Helix-Von-Smelix, glennpat, and MrOzzy have on the server? They seem to be the primary contributors right now.

22 minutes until start of rally...

Yep, I already put my cores on and they've almost finished their first two (>90%).

They've been permanently on there for a long time...not too many cores. I'd guess a total of 3-4 cores among them as of late yesterday. It's nothing significant unless they added a bunch just today for the rally.

It would take several hundred cores to accomplish this in 48 hours. I anticipate that we'll complete about an n=900-1000 range of the n=516K-520K range that I am on. Alone with 5 quads, I can do slightly over n=400 per day. Right now, it looks like we'll get close to n=~517.1K by the end of the rally with 23 cores on it.

Very agressive but semi-realistic goals:
525.5K on port 300 (n=500 range)
517.5K on port 400 (n=1500 range)
530K on port L6 (n=2000 range, i.e. complete the whole 528-530 range)
(?) on port 443 (I'm not sure if Carlos is working on the rally)

We'd have to get some more people in the rally to accomplish some of these. Anyone have some friends they can bring along?

I borged two slower Athlons (XP 2.2 GHz and XP 1.6 GHz) under my name and on AES300. They'll be offline overnight and maybe after about 9-10 Sunday, but I'll restart them in the morning. I hope my family doesn't mind.

lol, good job!

I just remembered that I'll pick my kids up in an hour or so. I'll borg their dual-core Athlon 1.6 Ghz laptop for 2 slower cores on IB400 within an hour after that. They can't complain. I bought it for them last year. That's what I usually do anyway if I happen to have them the weekend of a rally.

Speaking of borging, I will most probably be able to borg a brand-new Intel Q6600 quad-core sometime within the next month or so. I know I've had various false alarms in the past as to potential borging prospects, but I think this one's for real. (I know, probably now that I said that it will fall through... )

I know, not in time for this rally, but hopefully for the next.
