I believe a certain someone posted about an Einstein challenge. Seems his wishes have been granted

[scole of TSBT]

At least we'll get it in before it gets too hot. It was 77F here today. When I went into work this morning, it was cold and foggy. Came out at lunch and it was spring.

Been 9 C here, garden springing to life. Almost time to get the board shorts out

Who me?

Almost!? That's about 7°C above short wearing temperatures for some folk I know 8)

Competition off an running. Scole dropped his usual bomb to help the cause. Internet here really patchy but will do what I can to keep stuff running .... no promises .

[scole of TSBT]

Is Einstein@Home going to create any new BRP4G, Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo, GPU) WUs? I was less than 500 hours away from magenta in WUProp on that app and was expecting to get that in this challenge. Bummer. I don't like the BRP5 WUs. They keep crashing one of my Tahiti gpus and it reboots the system.

[Alez]

I keep loosing one of my 7970's as well. wonder if it's the same thing. will have to ask my IT guy to look into it

[scole of TSBT]

I had another tahiti gpu crash on the Parkes PMPS XT app. Dialed down the core clock to 900 Mhz and memory to 1400 Mhz and neither has crashed since. I also keep the fans cranked up to keep the temp more more than 60C.

Don't have that luxury just now, so it's back on Poem. Mostly running the comp on my nVidias. They are doing well on the Parkes app.

TSBT down to 8th now but scole holding 7th and I'm holding 14th so far.

[Megacruncher]

Oopsie!
Another one where I missed the kick off.
But now I have all my GPUs on the case! :)
We are already top half - we will at least hold onto this!

[Alez]

We are still 8th. I have dragged myself to 13th and hopefully 12th in a few hours. Scole still 7th. Mega and Pete Teago have joined in and moving up the ranks. We are slowly catching Australia again. 2 days left we can still take 7th back with just a little more help from a few that crunch Einstein anyway.
We have gained another place in the world up to 67th and we may take 66th by the end of the challenge.
Keep up the good work everyone.

[Alez]

We are now just behind the aussies. We should catch them if we keep this up so well done everyone and keep at it.
I'm going to try and grab 8th just behind scole. Mega now in the top 100 and climbing.
We are now 66th in the world gaining another 2 places this week. Very nice to see Einstein so far from being in any danger of dropping out of the top 100.

[Alez]

We got past the aussies but now the upload server is go. Looks like this is over prematurely .... waiting for the schoolboy giggles in the background

[Alez]

Right, very limited bandwidth so updates will be short and sweet, apologies if you took part and don't get mentioned.
