Clearly people are misunderstanding the nature of corona virus & confusing it with cholera. Anyway haven't they heard of washing? Once we are all self isolating we will have plenty of time for thorough perianal hygiene. I went shopping this afternoon & couldn't get potatoes, pasta rice or f...

I run only the spstarter WU because they have a fairly consistent run times. I've seen Test Separator WU that are very short and the more times the BOINC Client has to load/unload WU the less time it spends crunching. I don't really know how much difference it makes (if any) but I stick with the sps...

Congrats, that is a great accomplishment. BUT, it looks like you will probably move up higher than that before it is over

It looks like CoolAtchOk may be waving the white flag. His output has really dropped off

I've seen him do that in the past where it became apparent that Russia Team wasn't going to win.

It's all done with smoke and mirrors

I'm trying to improve my image but unfortunately too many people actually know me

Surely, I am not that bad that you can't work together with me and as such you are leaving us? I am harmless I tell you, harmless...When it is a challenge that TSBT is involved with, there is no time to help other teams. Each to their own I suppose. Having said that, please do not think that I do n...

I'm moving back to XS but I'll keep an eye on how things are going. From the last 2 hours it looks like you guys won't need any help.

WELCOME ABOARD PETE

Nice one Steve! Got any more? Can I move back to XS?

I happen to know him well and I can guarantee he has no decency! A real scoundrel.

YO PETE, where you at? You are needed

Yeh, and he is on a team that isn't even entered in the challenge ... just goes to show you can't believe everything you read

Time to wake up guys ... Russia Team is off an running

Where's Pete, I thought he was concentrating on Gerasim for TSBT.

I think it is 65C. I have to down clock mine to stock (3.0) to run PG. @3.3 they throttle ... on air.

NVM

My laptop went crazy! Sorry.

Speak for yourself, there isn't a competitive bone in my body

I'm starting to get run over! We're still holding 3rd though.

Somebody get a picture ... we're in 3rd.

In olden times you needed to check which "core" worked best with each GPU/CPU ... you can set them in "preferences" and it used to make a HUGE difference. The auto-detect may be better now. Look at THIS thread. It tells how to run the benchmark test to determine the best "co...

Linux runs native, Win runs VBox.

The problem isn't hyperthreading. The issue is it slams ALL WU onto the 1st 32 threads of a machine. If you only have 32 threads then it isn't an issue.

The WU MUST be downloaded after the start of the challenge.

The server status is showing the avg to be 1.7 hours so I guess they are running a shorter batch of WU now.

No, you would wind up with the top 2 dies sitting idle and all 32 WU stuck on the 16 cores of the bottom 2 dies. BTW, unless they've changed the WU do NOT checkpoint so once started you want to make sure they keep on keepin' on. When they 1st started the project ALL WU were assigned to the 1st threa...

No, regardless of how many instances are run ALL QuChem WU will be assigned to the 1st 32 threads with the taskset affinity mask. You could certainly run another project on the top 32 threads but then you are using HT and the QuChem WU will take twice as long as running with threads vs cores. The Wu...

There is a native Linux app that doesn't require VBox and it runs quite well. The only caveat is you need to turn HT OFF if you have more than 32 threads. The app issues the taskset command 0xFFFFFFFF that puts all running WU onto the 1st 32 threads. Quite often the program launches child processes ...
