The Scottish Boinc Team

Time to go!

Ready!

For maximum credit during the challenge, clear your cache before the start and don't download any new WU until after the start. It's only a 24 hour challenge so it will make a difference.

Perfect. I need less than 5k hours to get WUProp lime 25k hours on that app.

The first FB Sprint isn't until March 12th. IN the mean time, how does everyone feel about a BoincStats Team Challenge? Post 2 or 3 projects you'd like to participate in a team challenge. I'll start...

edit : I have a question ... whilst checking usage of GPU towards collatz ... there are only abou 10 % usage of GPU ... why may that be ? Gregg Roman Granowski In the folder \ProgramData\BOINC\projects\boinc.thesonntags.com_collatz\, do you have these 2 files with the following contents or similar?...

Moo only thing I'm running

I've not had an errors since I cleared the Unread and it's been snappier. Don't know if it's related or coincidence

I get the SQL General Error often. I just marked all read, will see if that helps me and report back in a few days.

I'll put some cores on this also.

BTW, Alez is alive and well. He's just very busy as his job keeps him away from home a lot.

I'm working on my MCM 50 year badge so I'll keep some cores on it.

I didn't think there were any android WUs for WCG?

I think u.t.g. has access to the computers or workstations at a university, which are conveniently idle for Christmas

Gibson Praise, we are glad to have you but remember there are no contracts, vows or any other requirements to crunch with us. You can crunch for TSBT, Picard or any team and you will always be welcome here. We actually have several regular guest crunchers from various teams who pop in and out as the...

Hooah!

I'm running open. I moved some CPUs to WCG so I've slowed down a little.

Gregg's RTX 2080 Ti's are taking about 26 hrs.

Egg the Red wrote: ↑Sun Dec 15, 2019 1:05 am I wonder how a couple of 1080Ti's will do here.... (more chewin in order?)

They'll do quite well

Gregg, I know you don't participate in challenges but thanks for the help

This is the place to talk smack but I want to make sure some other TSBT crunchers have by back before I chime in

We're good. We just haven't turned in any WUs yet. We need more crunchers though! You must run only these sub-projects... GFN-21 GFN-22 GFN-DYFL This is the app_config.xml I'm using to control the number of threads on both CPU and GPU WUs. I'm using 27 threads per CPU WU. Adjust your's accordingly.....

Holy moly. I didn't realize we had to register for this challenge. Anyone know how to register us? Can we still register?

Well, I'm a little slow out of the gate but I've got 189 threads on cpuGFN21 and 3 gpus on GFN 21.

FWIW, I ran a couple GFN21 CPU WUs using 27 threads per WU and it took 17.5 hours per WU. This was on a dual CPU rig with 2x Xeon V4 Broadwells that turbos all cores at 3.0Ghz. A similar system that has 2.8Ghz CPUs took 18.5 hours using 27 threads. EDIT: It's a good way to wrack up some Genefer 21 W...

I set up a thread for the PrimeGrid challenge. As for recruiting members, I too old and grumpy to be any good at recruiting members but if you have ideas, go for it. The members of the other UK teams are pretty loyal to their teams. I don't think there would be a very good response asking other team...

Oops! Corrected. I also corrected the dates. It's actually a 10 day challenge starting on the 12th

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!

@Granowski are you still having issues accessing/posting from your ISP?

Well done Gregg!

Just hit the 20Bn :D https://i.postimg.cc/KKwSKVFD/image.png a fair bit of Collatz in there though Well done Grasshopper Congrats! :clap: How will I ever catch up with you? Must be when the TRX80 Mobo's arrive, and I have -thanks to the lottery- a dual Socket Ryzen 9 3950X system (read: never :cry:...

Maybe they are doing it on purpose because TSBT took 2nd in the challenge

And it's a sprint for the finish in League 2!

Best to select 24 hour target time for bunkering, then switch to 6 hr until the last day. When there is less than 12 hours left, switch to 1 hr WUs. EDIT: and I cannot get an app_info.xml to work. Sorry. I'm not aware of any big difference in pay with the 2 apps but I don't need any more rosetta min...

No foreign country could ever meddle with the elections more than the American media and PACs. They are masters of spinning stories and telling it the way they want, like sleazy lawyers.

Woohoo...we have more crunchers!

Come on all ye silent TSBT crunchers. We need more Gerasim crunchers!

Gregg, we need your help on the Gerasim challenge!

I'm on it. Needed a little break from WCG

This is what I ran on a Radeon VII... In the app_config.xml, I used this... <app_config> <app> <name>collatz_sieve</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>1</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> On Win64, this config must go in filename collatz_sieve_1.30_windows_x86_64_...

Just got home from a bball game. Uploading now.

I've put my GPUs on it. Anyone recall how long GPU WUs ran? And I've allocated a full core to each GPU WU and it seems to be using all of it, on linux not win. Did they update the app? BTW, doesn't appear there is support for Turning GPUs or AMD GPUs yet. <app_config> <project_max_concurrent>1</proj...

If it's a GPU project, I'm in. Otherwise I'm stuck working on a full cache of WCG.

MOM, DAD, I'M HOME!

I'll be there.

Keep up the good work guys. Sorry I'm out of this one. Busy returning some favors.

Woo Hoo!

Somewhere along the line my 3rd lime star turned back into a magenta star

If cost and power consumption aren't an issue, I'd go with the 10980XE. It's supposed to turbo all cores at 3.8Ghz plus it has 4 memory channels. 3950x only has 2. Ever consider a water chiller?
