WCG will have to wait. Asteroids is one the projects I need 100k hours on to get my purple star so I'm going to run this.

You have a Palladium badge (=10,000,000 credits) and still no purple star? You must be awfully close...scole of TSBT wrote: ↑Sat Mar 03, 2018 1:42 amWCG will have to wait. Asteroids is one the projects I need 100k hours on to get my purple star so I'm going to run this.
Me, I'm only having a nickel badge -which sounds far too much like Nickelback for comfort

I've got 68k hours with 32k to go. I guess I've run a lot of GPU WUs in the past. That's about 10 days work for the rigs I was going to run it on. Looks like somebody already sucked up all the WUs though.

Asteroids finally has some work. If you plan to run the challenge I'd grab some WUs now while they last.
Remember, this project has an Nvidia GPU app and there are AVX, SSE3 and SSE2 CPU apps. AVX is the fastest but you need to make sure your CPU won't overheat. SSE3 is slower than AVX and SSE2 is the slowest of all but most rigs can tolerate the load it puts on them. I use a app_info.xml on my linux rigs to only allow the AVX WUs. I'll post it if anyone wants it. If you need/want an app_info.xml to control with apps you run, let me know and I'll try to cobble one together.

Guess I should try and join in the fun, being home and all. I'll take the credit hit away from collatz and the very well paying enigma just now and introduce my new server to the game. Starting to build my pendings ....

Actually I'm out. Will be some pendings but hanging on for the FB sprint on AP whilst doing my own thing. New server up and running but need to sort all the others out.

3 - 4 credits for a GPU unit, nope, not my cup of tea.

How did I let my mask slip and get busted so easily after trying so hard to hide my altruistic soul .....

You are free of this moral dilemma. The server is out of work. Go figure

Bizarrely the CPU work I got actually paid quite well, on par with the bitching about GoofyxGrid CPU payment
