Going to give this one a wee pop to try out the shiny new GPU's

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sun Mar 31, 2013 10:15 pm

we're currently running 7 from 8 despite 4 of us being in the top 50

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Mon Apr 01, 2013 1:11 am

Anyone got a spare gpu for the cause? hint, hint, 2nd last......
Janos, Mega or Gary Mc, 3rd as a min is ours for the taking.....

Sure OK.

DistRTgen has just changed to a new table with different run times and credits. I need to evaluate and tune my systems accordingly.

5th from 8 now. 8) I noticed the DistRTgen units seem to take longer to run now. Don't know if the credit has changed any. Primegrid credits don't seem to be that bad.

DistRTgen credits have increased for the new WU's but the credit rate has been much reduced.

I thought that was the case, yesterday i actually checked that one of my cards hadn't underclocked itself as the unit was running much slower.

Funny, I did the same.

Seems the DistRTgen units are nearly 2.5 x longer but only get @50% more credit, and they sent my scheduler crazy claiming they wouldn't finish in time !!! Primegrid and GPUgrid just got a lot more attractive
We are now 4 from 8, thats more like the mid table efforts....can we take 3 from SETIKAH@KOREA ?

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Mon Apr 01, 2013 8:41 pm

Thats us got 3rd place. 4 of us in the top 25 now. 8)

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Tue Apr 02, 2013 12:36 am

I'm in 4th .......

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Tue Apr 02, 2013 6:15 pm

5 in the top 25, 3 of us in the top 10. TSBT in a very respectable 3 from 9.

Post by **Megacruncher** » Tue Apr 02, 2013 8:03 pm

Well done on 3rd place! 8) But I reckon you might be able to improve on that yet.

I'm in 8th place - up over 100 places in less than 48 hours - and I have my sights set on top 4. A lofty ambition for a late starter but that is the sort of crazy over-equipped guy that I am.

Had the postman been kind then I would have filled slot #3 on Caro, but it's not to be.... still going to have a pop at #2 in competition, however I too started 12 hrs late which I think will be the difference in catching 2nd place.

Mr Mega I am looking in the rear view mirror

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Wed Apr 03, 2013 12:44 am

And the rear view mirror appears to be filling up with a megacruncher !!!

Dinnae fash! I'm only in 5th. I've got designs on 4th but by then you will have moved from 3rd to 2nd.

If I overtake you I promise I will eat my left kidney deep fried with a fried egg, green salad & chips.*

*Unless a doctor advises otherwise.

as a vegetarian my reaction is ......yuk,
as a scotsman I'm trying to figure out if a mars bar, deep fried, can be incorporated into that menu

or conspiracy theory has me wondering if you have donated a (left) kidney ?
I'm also wondering why Janos has stopped flying up the table .... answers in a blog please.

36 hrs until frying pan time

as for 2nd, well we'll see, where's the postie with my shiny stuff when you need him

ps fash is something sold in my home town by Hector Brocklebank of H B Fash

... I was wondering where all that cod I ordered from Amazon Antarctica had got to! :drunken:

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Thu Apr 04, 2013 3:01 am

Could speak to Hector for you and maybe divert a nice consignment of Haddock

I think it was meant for NASA but well I am a pirate after all....
