17th Folding@Home Holiday Race: The race is over and Mark's Marauders win.

[Assimilator1]

And I know those 2, so yea I get ya!

The 1st stats seem to be showing that my ppd estimate from the GPU database is indeed 1/2 of what it is, lol.

Day 1 stats: The marauders take an early lead.

 

[Assimilator1]

Thanks biodoc , nice to see about 4x the output from my main rig this year

Day 1.5 stats:

 

[Markfw]

Well, Pokey sure stepped it up. Lost 5 mil of our lead. He on on pace to do over 100 mil per day.

 

[cellarnoise]

I can't seem to remember, but isn't the "Alzheimer's research" project higher ppd than all the others?

Don't tell anybody not on the "cheese to shoot for team"

 

[cellarnoise]

If markfw keeps over producing long term... Maybe this challenge needs a "Twist"

I'm now trying to find junk to overclock!

If pokey keeps over-overproducing me, then I need more....

 

[cellarnoise]

I pokey keep over-overproducing me, then I need more....

Don't mess with the moon hot! ;?

 

[cellarnoise]

Don't mess with the moon hot! ;?

I hope we don't even know what Pokey is capable of! That might have poked out wrong

Crazy how when the big dogs think to bark, a "cellarnoise" or much more! can be coughed up! . Haha!

 

[biodoc]

I think @cellarnoise has been hanging out in the wine cellar again. The two team captains are producing an amazing amount of points though.

I can't seem to remember, but isn't the "Alzheimer's research" project higher ppd than all the others?

I think that was true for ampere cards last year but I haven't checked this year yet.

24/7/21/7ish-ish race?

Fire stuff up - team and all

Day 2 stats: The Moonshot Gang take the lead.

 

[Pokey]

Well, Pokey sure stepped it up. Lost 5 mil of our lead. He on on pace to do over 100 mil per day.

Just trying to keep you in sight..................

 

[Markfw]

Just trying to keep you in sight..................

Besting me by 16 million in a day is more than keeping me in sight. Renting some cloud ??

 

[Pokey]

Actually, no. It's all right here in house.
I saw you hit 104Mil before the race so I figured you were coming loaded.

 

[crashtech]

I think it's important in this race to come up with an accurate estimate of ppd and stick to it. Otherwise biodoc will have to do more work to balance the teams. I was worried about my own ppd estimate being off, but so far it's been really close.

 

[biodoc]

Yeah, I'm sticking with my 3070Ti and 2-3080Ti's for the entire race. No renting for me.

16 million more a day? Where do you come up with these figures?

Pokey in the last 13 days.


You in the same time frame.



Both of you severely underestimated your PPD and Pokey isn't doing 16M+ PPD more than you.

I was out by over 50% lol, although I did forewarn about that, not to mention it's a tiny fraction of the big guns

His team gain 16 million in a day. He got me by 3 million.
Also, I was running at 80 mill before the race, but my electrical got fixed for another outlet (you know I have posted about this) so I got a couple more cards. Off by 20%. Pokey estimated 65 mil and ended up at 100 mil. That's 54% off.

Edit: and the 104 mill reference ? that was the day the outlet blew.

And why aren't you in the race ? But then posting about it ?

 

[Pokey]

@Markfw it was Dec 25 when you hit 104 mil.

I did say 60-70mil at the start, which is what I had been doing.

In my defense:
I said in post #45 & #58 that I was tinkering. In fact, I had no idea what the impact would be. I was installing different MBs (3) to get max PCIe lanes and redistributing power loads across my available house circuits and changing GPU mix. I came close to making it except Murphy put his thumb on the scale, and one of the 4-GPU rigs started crapping out on me, which took me a while to figure out. So, if I misled anyone, I apologize.

Enough said. I’m going to sit back now and watch our race.

PS: I am not saying what I have exactly; Suffice it to say a gawd awful mix of GPUs, and the experience has been an education.

That's the TEAM doing 16M more, not Pokey by himself.

Also, I was running at 80 mill before the race, but my electrical got fixed for another outlet (you know I have posted about this) so I got a couple more cards. Off by 20%.

You were doing 80M PPD, but claimed 77M PPD?

Pokey estimated 65 mil and ended up at 100 mil. That's 54% off.

That doesn't make it any more worse or better. Estimating your PPD is a difficult thing; as you yourself were off on your PPD as well. Doesn't matter the magnitude as that scales significantly more with more GPUs. In fact, nearly everyone undershot their estimated PPD except a select few who matched it perfectly or a little lower on Day 1.

Edit: and the 104 mill reference ? that was the day the outlet blew.

But you got the power problem fixed?

And why aren't you in the race ? But then posting about it ?

I don't have to be in the race to comment about it.

 

[Markfw]

BTW, just so you know... Full disclosure. The Titan V's are not folding as they suck at it, but here is the rest and the current total, but thats always off my 5-10% of the real number (on the lower side) (and the local box is a Titan V) My real number for the last 24 hr is 90,430,238 per

So my 90% of what I see is real.



Pokey is at 98 mil
