I lost my freebie connection to colab when I had to partially re install the programs.

That was a big load david. I am running open so they have a better shot at validating for me and my mates.

I wanted to thank my mate/s for the support, as I moved into 2nd place. Go TSBT.

I've got some bunkered here for you as well - wanted to see if there was a fight-back from Walter (there is but nothing we can't handle )

Will see how close he is going to get before dropping

Thank you.

@Miklos M He is gaining on you at approx 0.4M per hour so that should give him heart and keep him in the race. It is going to vary a bit with Pendings of course

Between ourselves, I have 2800 completed aged pps-sieve for you now so that should be just under 10M already. And still over 2 days to go

Can't see any way that we haven't won the team competition here. Sounds like it's just a case of settling individual positions now. Very well done guys.

... and closing the gap on SG in the Marathon of course

Goes without saying. The whole point of this competition is to help @Granowski move within striking distance of taking overall team supremacy in Primegrid for FB. I think we are well on target for that goal.

400M the lead now

You are surging ahead @Miklos M - may as well have my 16M+ now as well

Thank you very much.

Think we've won this one alright. The lead is presently 0.5Bn and both Gregg and Miklos scoring more than any other team

Five in the top 6 are TSBT and 6 in the top 10

Well done to all

Awesome results TSBT.

What times are you getting on pps-sieve on the Colab k80 please @pinhodecarlos - 1-up ??

Great work ... superbly done ...

Thank You ... once more ... it is a Great Honour to be with TSBT Gentelmen ...

regards, Gregg Roman Granowski ...

1100 seconds but not sure if 1 or 2 at the same time, probably two, maybe Steve can let us know since I am running his colab versions. Quicker if you chase me up through WhatsApp.

Whereabouts will make more sense to deploy the colab K80’s. My plan was to daily trigger them but I suppose PrimeGrid is covered.

Moo doesn't work well on Colab as you'll never get beyond cuda31
srbase doesn't work at all
amicable doesn't get enough system ram
gpugrid doesn't get enough run time
numberfields sucks on any GPU

mlc / asteroids / einstein / milkyway I'm not sure

So collatz or primegrid for the marathons I suppose

I wanted to try Collatz but I can’t restore my account….if anyone is looking for some hours I can run it under your account. We just need to share the weak key with Steve so we can send me 10 colab instances.

And do not forget Milkyway on Colabs it sure racks up the points. I did it on all my colabs for the Sprint.
Can be as fast as 10 seconds and 2-3 at a time on one.

Steve has mine I think, feel free to use it.

I think that needs a P100 though and you don't get them on free Colab any more. Do you even get them on Colab Pro.

Yup viewtopic.php?f=77&t=17907#p101176

So K80’s on Collatz?!

@pinhodecarlos if you need any help with the math behind Collatz, just give me a shout

Hmmm - wonder if we can make it to 750M, I'll say that again 0.75 Billion may be within grasp

If we don't make it, we will be very close. A superb effort and a big boost in the marathon. Personally, looks like I'll finish top 10

Just over 1 hour to go. Unless someone has some bunkers to drop now I think we are going to fall a little bit short at about 742M points. That shows just how much things have changed that we are falling just short of 0.75 Billion points after 7 days when the next closest team managed 170M. In fact, in this competition we managed more points than every other team added up.

I’ll stay with PrimeGrid since colab works and interacts much better than Collatz. Latter is painful…

What a terrific team effort.

Let us not forget that our Marathon Man turned in this impressive tally whilst sticking to (lower-paying) PrimeGrid apps which progress the work of his compatriot Wacław Sierpiński https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpi%C5%84ski_number

Well done Gregg & well done team.

For the record , TSBT was #1 from 13 teams with 743M points.

Wow, that was a squeaker. Glad you guys were able to pull out a win. Congrats!
