Congrats on the double bronze ... that's a lot of crunching!

Got a bronze on the new Yoyo Collatz app ... that's just 10k credits so no big deal other than a new one.

"no big deal": You're already at the next level, silver, 100k credits..and on the way (280k credits now) to gold, 500k credits.....

I guess your right Dirk. In fact I moved some more machines over ... going for a double star - maybe

You have reached the daily quota of 8 results. I now unticked all the other apps bar collatz and wait until tomorrow.

Pete, it only runs on 64bit linux on AMD/Intel and 64bit linux on ARM. Nearly all installs we've done on Rpi's are 32bit and won't run this app.

You mean the Yoyo Nontrivial Collatz Cycle 1 mil badge?

If you are going to brag, do it right

Dontcha just hate those sloppy braggarts !!

Yes sir, that's the one ... I was just being lazy

I guess I could add that I was the 1st to get one of them

Pete, if they are nVidea they are easy to get to work with Linux, If they are AMD then I wash my hands ..... total nightmare.

Yoyo Nontrivial Collatz Cycle 500k gold badge

It is not a total nightmare, it needs some serious planning:

How old are your GPUs
Which version of Linux are you planning to use
Do you plan to use a APU/GPU combo

I have a Linux Mint 17.3 system with two HD 6670s and a A8-3870K, running three Seti@Home GPU-WUs simultaneously.
I have a Ubuntu 16.04 system running Xansons for Cod on the internal R3 of an Athlon 5350 AM1 APU, on the Open Source driver(!)
I have a Lubuntu 16.04 system running Seti@Home Beta on the internal Radeon HD 7660D of an A10-5700 FM2 APU, also on the Open Source driver(!)
The latter is actually a bit of a bummer, because till shortly -in it's A6-3500 FM1 incarnation- it ran far more projects (CAL++/Brook was still enabled). No longer so after the upgrade.

Simply said:

You can't use Ati/AMD GPUs older than the HD 5000 series (or you must be prepared to run a stone-age kernel)
With older cards (pre 'R' series) stick to Ubuntu versions below 16.04 or you can't crunch due to bad OpenCL support -and CAL++ support is gone. And do not forget to restart the boinc client in order to be able to use the GPU!
When using Linux, only use GPUs from one vendor (Ati/AMD, Intel or nVidia) as installing a second driver will basically delete the first, unless you're prepared to do some real tinkering. They need to be of roughly the same capability and have to use the same driver too, as the applications only see more instances of the same card and -check your computers on any given BOINC project.

McShane of AP wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 4:02 amIt seems that the black dots or circles tells the story. 1M = 3 dots, 10M = 4 dots and 100M = 5 dots. Em tassol, news belong you me.

Make that just 'dots'. One (white) dot is 10k, two dots is 100k (and I should know....)

This IS preparation H. I presently ONLY crunch WCG MIP and WCG HST, WCG-wise. For some reason the latter doesn't hand out work at all...
So MIP will continue to look sickly, until I have it at silver.

I got the 5 too when I did a bunker dump. 10 year in about 6 more hours. Yeah, I know I'm not doing it right but I'm too lazy to go dig up a badge to post

Post by **Bryan** » Mon Nov 20, 2017 1:14 am

Oh yeah, FINALLY

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Mon Nov 20, 2017 1:23 am

You did that just to aggravate me

Well done though

1. Go to your WCG My Contribution page....https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/v ... berPage.do
2. Right click on the badge image and copy the image URL or open the image in a new tab and copy the image URL
3. In TSBT post, use that URL for the

tag

Easy peasy...

Post by **Bryan** » Mon Nov 20, 2017 2:27 am

Well I could say that since that one is a biggie I wanted to show it off ... but I wouldn't want to rub it in.

The reality is I tried uploading it from my PC and even with resizing it didn't get any smaller.

I've picked up the coveted Rake Search 25k squirrel badge

The WCG Microbiome Immunity Project 10 year diamond badge

And the WCG Outsmart Ebola Together 20 year diamond badge

Post by **Bryan** » Tue Dec 05, 2017 5:39 am

You've been a busy boy Scole! Congrats on all the new hardware you're sporting.

Speaking of Rakesearch I hit 1M.

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Wed Dec 06, 2017 2:39 am

Just when I thought I was big time earning the Rake Squirrel badge, I'm bestowed the 125k Weasel badge

. It's a badge of honor...I think

I've also reeled in the PrimeGrid PPS Sieve 200 mil double silver badge

And I've earned the ODLK 100k badge

Post by **Bryan** » Wed Dec 06, 2017 2:50 am

I forgot to post this one I got recently - it will be my one and only.

Zika 50

@Scole, that weasel is the same badge you'll have when you hit 1M

Eh, I get it now. There appears to be some disparity between the signature providers and the project at the moment.

Yeah, the project is showing me with a BOAR (appropriate) which is 3M credits. I only have 1M. The 1M badge is a badger but my signature is showing a Wolf and that doesn't show on the my project page

Things are a bit screwed up!

EDIT: the Wolf showing in my signature is a 15M badge ... I wish I had that many!

So you shot twice on target and are wondering why they've gone? (Perhaps you have the project default at showing only the best badge)
