The Scottish Boinc Team

Posted: **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.

Posted: **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.

Posted: **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

Joined first TSBT but then AP. I'm already on the stats.

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 )

Posted: **Mon Jul 04, 2016 1:46 pm**

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

Posted: **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?

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.

Posted: **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.

Posted: **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 ........

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2016 1:23 am**

I rang Bryan on the Bat phone but be hasn't answered yet.

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2016 1:43 am**

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

Carlos, if Greg isn't signing up Cal state to the challenge, you could always invite him to spend a week hanging out with some pirates

I'm in agreement with that Alez!

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

Posted: **Sat Dec 17, 2016 9:31 pm**

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

These numbers are below.

Application is lasieve5f and more than 1.7M wus to be processed.

Carlos

Posted: **Sat Jun 24, 2017 10:25 pm**

More than 1.8M wus available for the lasieve5f application.

Posted: **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>
<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?

Posted: **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.

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2017 9:18 am**

17e Lattice perhaps?

Not within 10 years.

Posted: **Mon Feb 05, 2018 7:27 pm**

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.

Posted: **Mon Feb 05, 2018 10:58 pm**

How many cores are needed?

It would be interesting to setup. Adapters, switch and cables might run $250-$350.

What mix of systems can you use? Do they all need to be the same or similar or can you connect an 8 core i7 + 24 core X5650 + 56 core + 72 core?

Posted: **Wed Feb 07, 2018 5:54 am**

Core speed must be the same otherwise the fast cores will need to wait for the slower ones since the calculation is broken into pieces.

Posted: **Fri Feb 09, 2018 11:34 am**

3M 16e V5 wus, grab them whilst you can.

Posted: **Sat Feb 10, 2018 9:41 pm**

Have decided to run NFS@Home for the pirates until my move to the new house. 7 days. Then I’ll be without internet access until I sort out the new provider. Hope this help your run for formula boinc.

Posted: **Sat Feb 10, 2018 9:48 pm**

Cheers Carlos, good luck with the house move. I'm going to try and sort out three more stars on WUProp to make a bronze go silver then I'll try and help out batter down the number of 16e tasks available. Maybe next time there is going to be a large dump, give us a heads up and we could call a BOINCstats competition on it and maybe help boost the number of users.

Posted: **Sat Feb 10, 2018 9:55 pm**

Alez, the number of wus are almost infinitive so no rush on doing them. Greg (admin) is slowly doing the background calculations on several servers for the outstanding numbers already sieved. Anyone nearby Milton Meynes are keen to get in touch with me for a pint. Also soon I’ll be visiting Edinburgh.

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2018 7:53 pm**

I usually warn SETI.USA about fast wus on 16e V5 side. Please be aware they might pop out since currently for S2p1133 sieving composite at q=2060784049 total yield around 650. As q goes up, yield goes down, wu speed will go up, same 130 points. Stay tuned. Talking about 130 points per 5-10 mins or even less time. I can’t guarantee up to q level we are going to since I don’t have access to that part of the server. Usually at q=3G you will have that speed.

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2018 9:25 pm**

Any chance you can put a spanner in the works and delay them until the seti sprint is over for the AP assault on Formula Boinc ? Only need 4 days .....

Alez, I’m not in control of NFS therefore I can’t do anything else. I’ll keep all updated if those fast wus show up.

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2018 9:58 pm**

[mention]pinhodecarlos[/mention] Just have to keep fingers crossed then .... damn seti alien chasing challenges

messing everything up, mutter, mutter

Only need 6k more hours for a light blue WuProp star on 16e as well ....

Posted: **Sat Mar 24, 2018 9:29 am**

I’ve just noticed there won’t be fast wus since the sieve work done is enough.

Posted: **Thu May 17, 2018 7:57 pm**

After the end of the penthalon where I’m helping the Trump team I’ll run NFS until Monday for Anguillian. Then I’ll come back a week later since I’ll be going to Italy with my wife for a break.

Posted: **Fri May 18, 2018 2:14 am**

Enjoy yourself in Italy, Carlos. I'm jealous. The closest I'll ever get to visiting Italy is dinner at Olive Garden restaurant

Posted: **Fri May 18, 2018 7:45 am**

Steve, since you know my situation we will try to have fun because this last month has been such a hell being harassed by my boss. I’m jealous of your machines.

Posted: **Wed May 30, 2018 7:34 pm**

Back to help you guys running NFS for the boinc formula. Will be making pauses whilst I post-process some integers for the project, small jobs lasting less than 24 hours run.

Posted: **Fri Apr 12, 2019 10:57 pm**

More than 3M wus available for 16e Lattice Sieve V5 application. Could you support mersenneforum.org team on doing some 250k wus?! TIA.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2019 6:22 am**

I'll put a couple of machines onto it

Should I be using stock apps or have you got something special? Linux only for me

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2019 6:38 am**

Thank you David. There’s no optimised app available.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2019 6:50 am**

Okay - it'll be a pretty modest contribution as my fleet is presently in a mess with rakesearch, rosetta and especially with srbase WU

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2019 7:05 am**

Don’t worry about it, even only one core is appreciated.
