I wrote this in another thread (on amiga.org, about the RC5-72 effort), but I thought it deserves a thread of it's own. It looks like the Pegasos is getting a new CPU card! What do you make of this:
People, have a look at this:
B-plan has joined the effort:
http://stats.distributed.net/participant/psummary.php?project_id=8&id=437432... and do you know what? Their stats on that page is not from 10 computers, not from 5 computers, not from 2 computers, but from ONE SINGLE COMPUTER! It looks like a new CPU card is in the works!
If you look at the short history of their RC5 crunching career, you will see that it has peaked at 711 blocks in a 24h period(!), which is TEN TIMES as fast as my 1GHz G4 without Altivec, and THREE TIMES as fast as current Pegasos G4's **with Altivec enabled**!
As I said earlier, today the Pegasos/MorphOS platform set a *new personal record* in the amount of blocks crunched, and if you compare these 3,836 blocks that the MorphOS joint effort has produced, you will notice that the 711 blocks FROM THIS SINGLE MACHINE equals to about 18.5% of that total record!
If only 6 machines with this CPU card would have been running non-stop yesterday, the amount of blocks produced would have exceeded that day's TOTAL AMOUNT of ALL OTHER PLATFORMS (34) below the Pegasos/MorphOS current position!
If all 93 registered Pegasos crunchers on the MorphOS dnet stats page (
http://www.morphos-news.de/guides/rc5-72/dnet-mos-stats.php) would have had one of these babies each, and had them running non stop for 24h, it would sum up in 66,123 blocks (
), which would put the Pegasos at #5 of ALL PLATFORMS when it comes to daily blocks submitted, overtaking (by far) platforms like Sparc/Solaris, PowerPC/Linux, X86/OpenBSD, X86/NetBSD, etc!
Do you get the picture?
BTW, for reference:
https://morph.zone/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2354&forum=9MorphOS is Amiga
done right! MorphOS NG will be AROS
done right!
