How is the forum responding for everyone?

The TSBT forum will be offline for up to a few hours sometime over the next 12 hours. If you can't reach it, don't panic

We're back!

Another clean sweep for TSBT! This goes down in history (for now) as the lowest scoring Milkyway challenge in Formula Boinc or any other competition. The 3 day total for all the participating teams was just 13,753,544. During a Sprint last September running Milkyway, the combined scores of all teams...

I think we squeaked by to finish in 1st on day 1. Can't tell for sure. The FB site seems to be down. I wonder if someone is bitter about the day 1 standings

Last hour of day 1. We're hanging on to a slim lead of less than 100k ahead of the Yanks!

The project is Milkyway! Since they've shut down the separation app, the only option is to run the nbody CPU app, which is multi threaded so be careful. It will use all your threads unless you have an app_config.xml in place to control the number of threads per WU. If you need help, just ask.

Get those caches cleared out. The Sprint begins at 00:00 UTC tonight!

Begins just under 4 days from now. Let's keep the pace up!

And that's a wrap!

another 25 points in the bank for TSBT! Congrats to SETi.USA who gave us a run all 3 days. Well done guys.

The next sprint begins less than 4 days from on 07-Jul at 00:00 UTC. I'll get a thread posted before then

Clear your browser cache and check now

I was/am a boy scout, always be prepared.

The project is sidock. These are some long running WUs.

Clear your caches and get ready to rumble!

Yeah, PCIe 2.0 is no faster than USB3 but I'd expect at least PCIe 3.0, which is double PCIe 2.0/USB 3 or *gasp* PCIe 4.0. I know a new,faster bus would need to be implemented but isn't it time to bump up the performance a little? Or is power consumption the main goal the systems? Faster IO would ca...

I wish they would support SATA or NVMe M2 right on the boards without piggy backing on USB3 or compute/turing pi.

Separation app is shutting down at 20:00 UTC today. If you have any completed separation WUs, you need to upload them ASAP else you won't receive any credit for them. After they shut it down I don't think any WUs, aborted, completed or otherwise will upload. If you get stuck holding them you will ne...

No problem. Look forward to having you crunching for TSBT again sometime

Day 1 and Day 2 over. TSBT finished 1st both of those days. We're trying to finish in 1st on Day 3 for a full 25 points for this sprint.

From the project admin... https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=5010 Upload what you have, load all you can and keep crunching it until the very end. Just don't hold any completed. Get them updated before the 20th. What a shame. Milkyway was one of the first projects to have a GPU...

If you have a newer AMD GPU and running Windows, there's a special M Queens app you can install and run M Queens on the AMD GPU. If you want to know how, let me know. By newer AMD GPU, I mean RX 570/580, Vega, Radeon VII and ones released after that. Won't run on Tahiti GPUs. Don't know about Pitcairn

Sorry Pete. I was late getting a thread posted and I've been working on getting my systems running yoyo but we're in it if you'd like to stay

Welcome to another trip in the Way Back Machine. Today's selection is by Herman's Hermits who is still active but not with their front man at the time, Peter Noone. Peter still DJs on Sirius XM's Underground Garage channel occasionally btw. Anywho, in 1966 this song was the B side on the No MIlk Tod...

Everything updated?

Another sweep for 25 forever points!

I remember seeing this on MTV in the mid-90s. It was considered "alternative" back then, power pop maybe? I really liked this song but didn't care for their other music.

Weezer - Undone -- The Sweater Song

Late update but we finished in 1st on Day 1. It looks like Rechenkraft is giving us a run on Day 2. Keep the WUs flowing.

If you aren't competing in any other events, consider clearing your caches and crunch with us during the next sprint which begins later today.

"Also, we're pushing for the sprint on einstein if you want to jump in. We need the help."

But as is our policy here, crunch what you want to crunch.

Today's selection is about nostalgia. Before Donnie Osmond became a boxer(yes, he boxed Danny "Partridge" Bonaduce to pay his rent) and back when Marie still had soft, non-scar tissue cheeks Donnie was a bubblegum pop sensation who was making teenage girls (and their older sisters) fling t...

Your stats and what we record for stats has nothing to do with your TSBT Forum account.

This song is from the movie Last of the Mohicans. It's title on the movie soundtrack is Promentory but it is an orchestration of the tune The Gael written by Scottish singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean and arranged by Trevor Jones.

Does anyone else love steam engines and steam powered machines that helped build our world before modern diesel machines? Did you ever read the book Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel as a child? It was one of my favorite books. Well here is a steam shovel from that time... https://www.youtube.com/w...

@Megacruncher can you check this out? You are the founder on Einstein. Check to make sure we're accepting new members

We squeaked by in 1st place on day 1. Let's keep it coming on day 2!

If anyone is running open and would like to bunker, please do so. We might need some extra points on day 2 and 3

Welcome back again Pete. You now have two accounts here, Cruncher Pete and McShane of TSBT. I suggest you pick one and lets delete the other.
