It has work now.

24hr deadline though - I am running it nevertheless

Posted: **Sat Jan 30, 2021 12:54 am**

Might as well. We have 6 FB points on it and it would be nice to consolidate & great to improve. But TaaT look like they have the 25 points for this one already.

Posted: **Sat Jan 30, 2021 1:15 am**

I don't think the project is going to last to the end of the year. Maybe not even another 3 months. We need to get our SiDock points on FB now before it goes dormant.

Posted: **Sat Jan 30, 2021 8:19 am**

I just managed to grab some work. Might add the pirates to the comp and see if I don't come last.

Good luck on grabbing another few marathon points.

Posted: **Sun Jan 31, 2021 9:19 am**

Not much work going around, think the task hogs got there before me.

Tried a bit of team recruitment on the challenge. You never know, might get an extra member or two on board.
https://www.sidock.si/sidock/forum_thread.php?id=82

For anyone that hasn't run this before, ensure you have VS C++ 2015-2019 redist installed on windows or the tasks will fail.
You can download it from TSBT server here or search for it on the Microsoft site.

Looking like it takes about 20-40 minutes per unit. Any faster to do them?

Posted: **Sun Jan 31, 2021 4:15 pm**

maybe on your CPUs

No, I don't know of any optimisation on the WU itself - just keeping all CPUs busy is quite a handful though

I suspected the 54th wouldn't be for long

and @Megacruncher up to 6th place as well now.

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 4:46 pm**

Look Out Above..
Here I come

Let's See if I can get the #1 spot

Don't tell David

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 4:48 pm**

I dunno - see these snobs with dual EPYC machines

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 4:54 pm**

Only one I couldn't get anyone to come down on $$ for a second.. But I was looking..

Why aren't my stat's showing??

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 5:28 pm**

Never mind I just found myself..

#89 933pts

It's only off by 18,000+..

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 5:29 pm**

I didn't like to say

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 5:40 pm**

Okay

It's still on.. Just going to be a little harder..

I might have to fire up the one's I've idled to do it..

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 5:47 pm**

#27 and climbing...

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 5:51 pm**

I think we'll need everything on this to stay ahead of P3D

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 6:04 pm**

I'll start to drop away a bit, that is all my bunkers dropped running open

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 6:09 pm**

You are right, up to 48th, I do not know what is the max my machines are capable of, but I guess I will find out in a day or two.

Pecos blew right through here, a blur. And our top 5 are awesome taking up the first 6 places.

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 10:33 pm**

Ready for a giggle?

I still have about 7500 completed WU to drop tomorrow & P3D are going to think it is cheating. How can anyone drop after 24hrs into a challenge with 24hr deadlines? Answer is that I bunkered up some 120hr WU from the previous sub-project

P.S. I still think they'll beat us over the 7 days BTW so get all your CPUs crunching red-hot

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 10:59 pm**

Nice Dave ,Full steam ahead @PecosRiverM you bugger away to take my place

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 11:25 pm**

Your still in the Top 10

Mega is next on my march to David..

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 11:39 pm**

Holy sh1t - who needs enemies when you have friends like @PecosRiverM

Posted: **Wed Feb 03, 2021 11:45 pm**

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 12:04 am**

Crunching as fast as I can, moving up in rankings, at 24th mow.

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 12:07 am**

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 12:19 am**

Think I'll sit and have some Angus Steaks.
Might take awhile to digest..

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 2:01 am**

Silence of the steaks

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 2:34 am**

Looks like their are 3 other systems out there sorta like mine.
(2) 7V12's and (1) 7702
Probably All on 3D's Team (I'd guess in their cluster).

If anyone has the winning Lottery Number's pass them here and I'd be willing to purchase 3 more systems. Heck I'd even spring on the power bill.

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 3:58 am**

Current GigaFLOPS 14897.84 I'd guess that's a new record for this project. Plenty of tasks so far and the server holding up.

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 12:12 pm**

I have a nice bunker drop for immediately after the 14:00UTC update. Just as well really as they are eating slowly into our lead. More steam Men !!

At least there are no surprises either way after this - it is all a matter of how many cores we can all muster

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 12:29 pm**

Yup. No lack of work. I've got 340 cores on it.
Good crunching Pecos! I can cope with 7th so long as 2/3 of the folks in front are TSBT!
Our lead is still 280K. Not exactly secure but better than being 280K behind. Looking forward to that 2pm drop David.

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 2:21 pm**

8671 WU dropped - just clearing through the validator now

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 2:48 pm**

damn - hadn't counted on P3D being my wingman on so many

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 3:13 pm**

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 3:59 pm**

Dang Pete

Let a

pass

Uh...you broke it

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 4:57 pm**

Looks like my cpu's hit their maximum level. Hanging in at 21st.

Don't knock it, I'm skulking down in 72nd. Least I'm beating UK BOINC Team

Posted: **Thu Feb 04, 2021 11:49 pm**

Current lead 383K.

5 1/2 days left!

It's gonna be a rough ride but the worst case scenario is second place.
Pretty sure TAAT will lose FB points, at least from P3DN, maybe from us.
