Gnomes Shoot Past Mac Observers26 April 2000 - Dan Knight
You certainly can't get complacent about the SETI@home
team stats - on Monday Team Lockergnome, which we passed
last Friday, gained 10,977
work units to zip right past us and approach the FreeBSD and
SETI@Home Poland teams. As the SETI
Checker chart below shows, this was a huge addition for
Team Lockergnome (blue), which added about 8.5% to it's
total (reaching 139,796 units) in a single day, passing
Team Mac
Observer (orange). FreeBSD (green) and SETI@Home Poland
(black) remain nearly tied at 140,446 and 141,270 units,
respectively. We're standing in 19th place with 132,700
units, now 7,096 units from 18th place.  Until this huge infusion of work units, Team Lockergnome
was averaging a pretty steady 415 units per day. Our guess
is they will return to this level or a slightly higher one,
which is lower than the Team Mac Observer (TMO) average,
meaning we'll eventually catch and pass them. It's hard to
get a feel for TMO's average, since we're adding users daily
(thanks to everyone who has joined!), but we are
consistently turning in more work units than the gnomes. Our
day will come again. If you'd like to hasten that day, please consider joining
Team Mac
Observer. Thanks!
