I moved to LHC@Home for now.

 

[Fardringle]

Be warned that if you decide to do some work on the CAS@home project, they are sending out some REALLY big work units. My really fast server has a couple of CAS work units that are projected to take over 650 hours to finish.

 

[Bradtech519]

Looks like Constellation@home got some workunits again. I noticed my FX 8350 doing 4 LHC@home tasks & 4 Constellation when I left for work.

Yes, same here. I have a mix of constellation and LHC WUs. I think we may have a better chance of moving up on LCH so I'll set no new tasks on constellation.

 

[GLeeM]

Early today we lost 2 points in Gerasim

Just now we gained 2 points in LHC

 

[Bradtech519]

Should have 12 more cores going back to work by 6PM CST on LHC@Home.

Early today we lost 2 points in Gerasim

Just now we gained 2 points in LHC

 

[GLeeM]

The TeAm now has 140 Formula points!

Plus two in LHC and plus two in GPUGrid

 

[biodoc]

WTG TeAm!

 

[zzuupp]

uh ohs

is LHC running out?

 

[Bradtech519]

I came here to see if anyone else was also. I'll be switching back to constellation@home

uh ohs

is LHC running out?

 

[biodoc]

Yep, I ran out of LHC work so I'm back on constellation too.

 

[GLeeM]

Crunching@EVGA passed us in Constellation like we were standing still

Looks like they moved to another project for now.

Early today we lost 2 points in Gerasim

I don't know why I didn't notice when it happened ... we were passed by AMD Users, the team that is leading us by seven points in the Formula race!!!

If this had not happened we would be behind by only four points.

 

[biodoc]

Changed my mind. I switched over to RiojaScience.

Geraism is windows only so no support from me.

6___ TeAm AnandTech___ 8___ 3,763,507
7___ Electronic Sports___ 6___ 3,079,942

Today (10/26):

Yafu
2___ [H]ard|OCP_______ 18___ 2,208,341
3___ TeAm AnandTech__ 15___ 1,892,140
4___ AMD Users________ 12___ 1,348,744

7___ Team Musketeers___ 8__ 3,902,866

Up one spot in Yoyo and gaining on Astronomy.ru Forum in the #5 spot.
Making progress in Yafu but the server currently has no work available so I hope they'll get more soon.

 

[Bradtech519]

LHC@Home has WU's again. Noticed my PCs doing WU's for it.

 

[GLeeM]

from 1 January to 31 December.

The above is quoted from the OP.

The "Official" final standings will only be announced after a definitive validation is done on 11/30 23:59 UTC.

The above is quoted from the FB Rules page.

final results in 35 days, 0 hours, 30 minutes.

The above is quoted from the FB Home page.

My question: When does this thing end?

I'm assuming it's a typo that hasn't been corrected.

Changed my mind. I switched over to RiojaScience.

Ran out of work on RiojaScience so I'm back to LHC@home.

We lost a point on RiojaScience.

 

[Fardringle]

We took over 4th place in Yoyo last night.
I don't think we'll make it to 3rd, though..


3 [H]ard|OCP 15 5,939,947 26,246,696 20,306,749
4 TeAm AnandTech 12 4,587,549 15,716,484 11,128,935
5 Astronomy.Ru Forum 10 4,519,125 4,648,950 129,825



And we're creeping up on #2 in Yafu as well, but work has been a little bit intermittent this week. Hopefully they'll get more soon.

2 [H]ard|OCP 18 2,209,512 2,231,414 21,901
3 TeAm AnandTech 15 2,010,292 2,403,465 393,173

 

[GLeeM]

We have like 30 days to the end of the race!!

Constellation
Crunching@EVGA is 59,264 points ahead of us and is almost stopped.

Gerasim
AMD Users is 103,034 points ahead of us and have slowed down.

LHC
Ukraine is 34,828 points ahead of us and are steady.

Rioja Science
meisterkuehler.de is 12,582 points ahead of us and it is hard to tell what the one cruncher is doing. I am having trouble getting WUs.

Yafu
[H]ard|OCP is 195,434 points ahead of us and have only 15,000 points in the last 28 days.

Now for GPU projects - please put in your opinion if we should try for one of these:

Collatz
BOINC United is 43,526,926 points ahead of us (this would be possible)(GTX 780 = 750,000 PPD)

Einstein
Rechenkraft.net is 7,982,208 points ahead of us (This might be possible)

GPUGrid
Canada is 128,659,098 points ahead of us (This would be harder)(GTX780=600,000PPD)

Milkyway
FREE TIBET is 16,898,353 points ahead of us (This might be possible)

Seti
US Navy is 5,361,584 points ahead of us (I don't know)

The thing is ... we have to keep ahead or lose points on some of the GPU projects!

 

[petrusbroder]

Running MilkyWay on all ATI-GPUs I have ...
Running GPUGrud on all NVIDIA.GPUs I have ... and today quite a few WUs will come to thjeir end ...
SETI is hard - 5M points is quite a few WUs.
So, TeAm, should I switch my GPUGrid GPUs to some other project?
Considering Einstein more than Collatz, where I earlier had quite a few erronous WUs.

 

[GLeeM]

Considering Einstein more than Collatz

It is more complicated after looking at those behind us!

In Collatz, BOINC United has a one man team that could move enough to counter us
But, [H], the team behind us is on track to pass us before the race is over and we'd lose two points

In Einstein, Rechenkraft.net has lots of smaller crunchers, but we have quite a few too. One thing - they are right behind us in GPUGrid, if we made a move in Einstein they could not as easily make a move on us in GPUGrid (maybe?).

I hate trying to figure this stuff out, what if I am wrong?

 

[petrusbroder]

Logic logistics ...

 

[Neurodog]

If we are good with Numbersfield I could move my cpu power elsewhere.

 

[GLeeM]

That would be great! Thanks

It would be huge if we could pass AMD Users in Gerasim, we would get two points and take away two points from them all at the same time!! We would be tie in Formula points.

It is getting hard to get Rioja WUs, can you leave it open trying to get WUs?

Would you be willing to move from MOO to one of the other needed GPU projects? And if so, which do you think would be best?
