not using an old app_info.xml by chance?

also make sure you don't have a download that's stuck

If you still happen to have your Rosetta preferences set to 1 hr runtime, better check your credit. I think 1 hr WUs are taking a big credit hit compared to 2hr.

It might need to complete and upload a WU first. Set your runtime to .5 hours, about the current one and let the .5 hr finish

The hoarding has gotten so bad, well here, this says it all...

Any card players here? What's the easiest way to cut a deck of cards? With a 40 ton hydraulic press, of course

Everybody loves explosions don't they? Enjoy...

Some throttling but not bad time.

Yes, most llr apps do. Although it won't help total credit (I don't think), turning off hyperthreading or setting the CPU affinity on the llr app to only use the physical cores will help reduce temps. Doing that will complete WUs faster but not enough to make up for running on half the possible thre...

I'm in!

You can set a fixed fan speed that will keep it cool and let you perhaps clock it back up a bit.

I don't know anything about this guy, but I didn't find anything labeling him as a conspiracy theorist. Several videos out there featuring him on this topic though.

I had the 435 driver installed but it didn't work. There may have been an easier way but I had to revert to the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver, completely remove the nvidia driver, log out of the GUI, SSH into a command prompt, stop the X server, install the CUDA 10.1 tool kit without the 4.18 dr...

What a pain but I finally got it running on my Mint 19.1 (Ubuntu 18.04) systems.

Stay safe but keep as active as you can while avoiding others. And don't let the media scare you. The BBC have been particularly misleading in some of their reporting, albeit in a clueless, doh-we're-all-arts-grads-don't-ask-us-to-report-on-anything-scientific, sort of way rather than than anything...

Anyone know which 1967 movie this was in?

I tossed a cold one in the stream. It should be there by St. Patrick's Day next year

All the North Carolina public schools are closed, grades 5K-12, until further notice. Jack's school is starting virtual classroom tomorrow. Colleges and universities are closing also. Duke is closed until further notice. Meanwhile, St. Patrick's Day goes on! Cottage Pie, cooked cabbage and Guinness ...

Well corona virus panic has reached Goldsboro, NC. The hoarding is worse than a hurricane blitz

I'm on this now

Many of us started this hobby way back when it was just a single SETI@Home app we ran on our systems. So I think many have an open mind regarding ET. I'm just trying to open dialog on this subject. If you don't wish to participate, that's OK but I think more public conversation needs to occur on the...

Woodles from UBT did well also. He lurks here sometimes

EDIT: could be coincidence but one of my servers won't boot to linux now, which is the default OS. It's stuck on windows until after the sprint and I can fix. Probably a reinstall of linux.

YEAH! WCG made MCM and SCC back to android.

Ugh... If you've been running Gerasim I suggest you reboot your system as soon as your work is done. All my win systems were flaky. Had to reset a couple.

I think Russia Team and Crystal Dream are all friends. It's good to have friends

Somebody broke the server

I've a few more. If Russia Team is earning 750k per day, it won't be enough.

Mazzy Star - Fade Into You

So February at PG is the Tour de Prime, where the object is to find Top 5000 primes. I've been shut out the last few years (and had some years where I never tried). It's been 9 years since my last T5K. Halfway through this years event I have this shiny new badge: http://www.primegrid.com/img/badges...

Gregg, do you know how to monitor the GPU temps and increase fan speed if needed? Running the optimized configurations will make them run hotter. i always believed that fan speed is an automatical option, and it icreases if needed without manual action . It should. I'm just over cautious and manual...

4th place is fantastic, Gregg. Tell me that doesn't put a smile on your face!

Runtimes range from 2.1 to 2.9 hrs with avg runtime of 2.62 hrs

Dual Xeon V4 14c/28t 3Ghz, HT on

OS	Threads per WU	# WU	Avg credit per thread-run-second
Win7	7	8	0.033270248
linux	4	14	0.021093011
linux	7	8	0.034808078
linux	14	4	0.031545409

8x 7t WU at a time but I appear to have had an error in the formula. Re-testing.

On my dual CPU 14c/28t Xeon V4 rigs, linux Mint 19.1 is slightly faster than Win7 64 and the sweet spot for these chips appears to be 7 threads per WU. I started at 28t per WU, then 14t, 7t and 4t. Pay per thread increased to 7t per WU, then the pay per thread dropped running 4t per WU.

Congratulations! That's one beeeeelllllion without any bitcoin utopia.

I don't think hyper-threading hurts. The LLR apps run hot though so be sure you can keep your cool.

delidding scares me

Somebody uploaded a bunker of MCM today. My pendings dropped from 22 pages to 11.

Tells us about your upgrade!

I hear ya. I'm going to keep at until the end. I think I'll have enough in pending by then to eventually get me to 50 years once they validate.

10th after the 24hrs. Not bad but we need more power!

After the first 24 hr update I think it will update every 12 hrs. Not aware of any other stats that cover WCG challenges

just got home, uploading

I'm ashamed I was too lazy to start a welcome thread

but...

Welcome Corla99!

I'm in. I still need almost 8 more years for 50 yr MCM badge. How about everyone else?
