NFS@Home support

Post by **pinhodecarlos** » Mon Jun 27, 2016 9:01 pm

Hi,

Can I request support from you all to run lasieve5f application where we queued more than 1M wus to sieve 6,383-, 7,353+, 7,353-, and 2,1009+composites.

Thank you in advance,

Carlos

Issue a challenge! lasieve5f is the well-paying 16e Lattice, July is a month with hardly any challenges so far...When the big guns from the great teams have spoken, millions of WUs may have been crunched.

Don't have power to issue a BOINCStats challenge.

@Carlos, go onto NFS and create a team. Then I think you can go to BStats and issue a challenge.

Bryan, can't login to BS.

Carlos, Give me a time frame for when you want one issued and I will do it from my Anguillan Pirates account if you wish.
I will need a bit of lead up time as you need to have a certain RAC and at least 2 crunchers on a project to issue a challenge.

Post by **Dirk Broer** » Sat Jul 02, 2016 9:35 am

If the Anguillan Pirates manage to issue the first challenge, I will crunch that challenge for them.

I'm running some units just now for AP to get our rac up

That's good of you Dirk.

Hi Alex,

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for the offer. 10 days challenge between 10th July and 31st July.
Challenge name "NFS@Home push on lasieve5f application"

With kind regards,

Carlos

What RAC is needed?

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sun Jul 03, 2016 5:41 am

I think we should have the required RAC now. Just need BoincStats to update and recognise that there is more than 1 cruncher on it and we will be good to go. Will set up for 10/7 00:00 UTC for 7 days as that is the longest we can run a comp for. If that is acceptable to all ?

I can move my affiliation into your team if needed because I've been running NFS for a week now.

Yip, that's fine with me.

Post by **pinhodecarlos** » Sun Jul 03, 2016 9:55 am

I was thinking about the challenge name, it should be more generic hence we have more than 750k 14e wu's to queue. To run the 16e wu's ~1GB of memory is needed rather than 400MB for the 14e tasks.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sun Jul 03, 2016 11:09 am

Need Fast Ships, Pirates Ahoy !! NFS@Home Challenge.

Pirates like numbers. Pirates like to count their loot in the booty locker. Pirates also like spending their loot hence they never deal with really big numbers.
NFS@Home has a really big number of units to crunch. Really large numbers hurt pirates brains. Help a pirate today by making some of the really big numbers on NFS@Home go away.

Any good ? Feel free to suggest alternatives.
Still waiting for the Boincstats server to recognise that there is more than 1 cruncher on NFS. The team status says 3 but the challenge section doesn't agree. We will get there in the end. Carlos, you're more than welcome to be a honoury pirate if you wish. With Dirk onboard to, then this little bunch of pirates might just hammer a few of the larger teams ......
Best make sure there are lots of 16e though as for most systems ( with enough memory ) the 14e and 16e take roughly the same time but 16e pays much, much better and will be prioritised by the challenge.

Seems good, thank you.
There will be plenty of wus to process.

Any news with regards to the challenge? Already uploaded a few work units so BS should now be with the option available.

Post by **pinhodecarlos** » Sun Jul 03, 2016 8:51 pm

Just to let you guys know that with regards to the 16e number of wus after a conversation with NFS administrator we can easily duplicate or triple the number of available work hence the Cunnigham projects has still a lot of composites to sieve. Let's see what will the challenge show.

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 12:26 am

Alez probably got his internet access revoked by the rig operator for streaming too many videos again

As soon as we get confirmation I'm going to load a bunker. I'll stay with Anguillan Pirates and crunch the whole challenge there.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 2:01 am

Jeez, have patience. I'm in India, time zones etc.
Anyhoo, challenge set up http://boincstats.com/en/stats/challenge/team/chat/799
I'll be crunching for Anguillan Pirates too. Only seem right that if I issue the challenge I try my best not to come last.

NFS forum post here

I'll post in challenge section in a mo. Got toi go check in for a helo. Can almost taste the beer

Carlos, feel free to abuse your admin powers and post the challenge in the project news section

Nice one. Depending on which teams join this could be fun. If I get home in time I may even bunker

Always a struggle to keep up when scole gives himself a 5 day head start. Finally off ship, time for a beer ( it's not breakfast time here so it's not as bad as it sounds ..... honest )

Post by **pinhodecarlos** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 1:46 pm

I've only 8 cores, how many do you guys have to deploy on NFS?

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 4:56 pm

I've put most all of them on it, ~100.

I'm always changing from the two teams. I thought you guys were running for formula boinc. Here's my question, should I run for The Scottish Boinc Team or Anguillan Pirates?

pinhodecarlos wrote:Here's my question, should I run for The Scottish Boinc Team or Anguillan Pirates?

Mine too! What say ye Alez? My bunker drop will put TSBT close to 1st on NFS but OcUK will chase us to get it back. We're in a pretty safe 2nd though with 14mil between TSBT and the 3rd place team. I'm just as happy to crunch for Anguillan Pirates and give them a boost.

Not sure Alez has steady internet access if any at all right now but he should pop back in soon.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Wed Jul 06, 2016 7:48 pm

Guys, You will need to check which team you are on. I was kicked back to TSBT, I've changed back again. Carlos , you are on TSBT, so will need to change. Paul and Scole check yours as well please. 3 days to go, maybe time to consider loading up.
I see that Gridcoin are in as are SG, LAF and UBT.
Looks like we could have our hands full on this one.

Post by **pinhodecarlos** » Wed Jul 06, 2016 7:55 pm

Ok, back to the Pirates.
Gridcoin is averaging a daily 1.3M points. We will need a lot of cores to equal them.

Anyone know the phone number for the calvery ?

Guess we will just have to do what we can. We may not win but we generally put up one hell of a fight for such a small number of users. Now if NFS had droid work ........

SUSA signed up, may be staying home for this one as P3D and SG are in, or maybe he's not answering the bat phone. Better get the sign up in the sky

If you are looking for 14e badge please serve yourself because we would like to reach 1000 14e (lasieved) factorizations by the end of the year. The ''Now Sieving'' should be completed as well as the ones in ''Queued''. I am processing C187_121_102 which is to be completed within 9 hours. Then I have reserved P223 (284688...)+1 which I don't know if I will be able to build a matrix because last time I tried to process it it was consuming more than 14GB of memory on my laptop!!!

Overall 300k 14e (lasieved) needs to be sieved by NFS@Home and then all of them post-processed in the back stage to achieve 1000 factorizations.

Carlos

At Sam's request, NFS@Home will factor the smallest five Bernoulli/Euler numbers. Details of the project are at http://homes.cerias.purdue.edu/~ssw/ber ... index.html

More than 1.8M wus available for the lasieve5f application.

Post by **Dirk Broer** » Sat Jun 24, 2017 11:29 pm

trying to find out why GCC and LHC@Home can't export sub-project stats I came across the NFS project pages and found out that the code has mentioning of
<applications>
<application>
<name>11e Lattice Sieve</name>
</application>
<application>
<name>12e Lattice Sieve</name>
</application>
<application>
<name>13e Lattice Sieve</name>
</application>

<name>14e Lattice Sieve</name>
</application>
<application>
<name>15e Lattice Sieve</name>
</application>
<application>
<name>16e Lattice Sieve</name>
</application>
<application>
<name>16e Lattice Sieve V5</name>
</application>

Will we ever see the 11th, 12th and 13th Lattice Sieve? Will they pay even worse than the 14th?

Post by **pinhodecarlos** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 12:46 am

No chance at all. Even for 14 we are on the work limit available, another year and it should be closed.

Anyone here with access to lots of cores with machines connected with infiniband so msieve MPI can be used for the post processing stage of NFS@Home? No boinc credit available, only your name written on the Cunningham tables.
