Formula Boinc 2014 News

[ousermaatre]

Hello Boinc Family,

The Formula Boinc is modeled on Formula One World Championship, circuits are projects, times are team's points made on each project from 1 January to 31 December. Set your crunch to have the best production on many projects and you get points for the podium of best Boinc's contributors.
New rules for 2014: The teams will be sorted in leagues according to their RAC. See list here.

Link to the Formula-Boing website: http://formula-boinc.org/

Link detailing the divisions: http://formula-boinc.org/equipes.py?year=2014

Participation is automatic if your team runs more than 10 projects

Thank you for spreading the word within your team

Kind Regards

Ousermaatre on behalf of Steering committee FB.

Set your crunch?

So which team are you from?

Thx for the info
Hmm, we're in the 2nd league....

 

[GLeeM]

Oops! I think we forgot about Formula Boinc this year

With three leagues, we could have an easier time getting points next year.

Hi everyone,

I'm a swiss cruncher, live in Geneva.

I crunch with l'Alliance Francophone team.

If you want to see my statistics:

Have a nice day.

And our best-ranked projects are:

Milkyway@home: #3
Leiden Classical: #4 (close to #3)
NumberFields@Home: #4
Rosetta@Home: #4 (close to #5!)
PrimaBoinca: #5 (close to #4), thanks TallBill!
Asteroids@Home: #5
Einstein@Home: #6
Moo! Wrapper: #10

We are #11 in ClimatePrediction, MindModeling@Home, PrimeGrid (I had to mention it! ), and Yoyo@Home.

Maybe I better start looking harder for a video card deal. I have a rig with an empty pcie slot.

 

[Assimilator1]

Getting my HD 5850 was good timing for this then .

We moved up in two projects!
We are now #4 in PrimaBOINCA
And #9 in MOO! Wrapper

 

[Assimilator1]

I don't know either of those 2, lol, what do they do?

Nice going anyway .

YAFU became active (went over 2M for the year) and so we are #5 now
PrimeGrid we are now #10
ClimatePrediction we are now #10

Total of 12 more points!

MOO! Wrapper is Distributed.net projects for BOINC.
PrimaBOINCA searches for Prime numbers ... I think ... but I don't know if they give credit to the finder like PrimeGrid does. I only ran it for the BOINC Milestone stats. I prefer PrimeGrid

 

[Ken g6]

PrimaBOINCA searches for Prime numbers ... I think ...

Yeah, what PrimaBoinca does is a bit of a mystery. They say they're searching for counterexamples to two conjectures involving prime numbers. But despite requests and a promise to do so, they haven't released their source code.

Just replacing a DLL made the app some 30% faster in Windows. Supposedly, if it were compiled for 64-bit, it should be at least twice as fast as it is now.

Looking at an output file the other day, it kinda looked like they were just doing trial division by primes < 100, but I'm sure something more is going on.

 

[biodoc]

I switched my 2 fastest rigs from Rosetta to Eon to try to pick up more points. After 2 days we went from 42nd place to 16 place on Eon. We should be in the points in a couple of days! :biggrin:

 

[biodoc]

We have 2 points on Eon and still moving up.

 

[deerslayer]

I moved a rig to Eon because it ran out of rosetta work last night and I guess the server was down for a while. It's not very fast though. Probably won't notice.

Cool. You've already cranked out 315 points!

Nice!

What's Eon do?

 

[Ken g6]

Nice!

What's Eon do?

Our research group is interested in calculating the long time dynamics of systems.

For more details, see their website.

Doesn't seem like much compared to the way other projects measure points. Maybe I'll have to put my FX6300 on it for a while and see how much that does.

[petrusbroder]

I did not realise this, but I am just now running 5 of the Formula BOINC-projects:
Rosetta, PrimeGrid, MilkyWay, Einstein, Asteroids.

Thanks gleem!
