I just put 14 cores on Rioja in Windows 7 64-bit

1. w00t! Like biodoc said there are a few more (6) points possible on Rioja.

5 _ [H]ard|OCP ______ 352,775
6 _ TitanesDC _______ 343,319
7 _ U.S.Air Force ____ 319,358
8 _ TeAm AnandTech _ 293,951

a message that all tasks are reserved for other platforms

2. Not sure why it does that.

A minute or two later it will give more tasks
Although now there are only 2,700 WUs left.

I also moved my 12 CPU server over to Leiden Classical.

3. Any other suggestions for if Rioja runs out of WUs or does this look OK? Edges@home is pretty close to points also.
Or should we just build our leads?

 

[StitchExperimen]

LHC@home 1.0 (?6 track?)
is close to being over taken ~13,800 points so I put my 14 cores on that

Rioja has no more work units.
I'll sit on this one also in case it opens up.

OK, so I guess my server will NOT be running Leiden Classical. As far as I have been able to tell, the newest BOINC version that will run on a Windows Server (specifically Server 2012) is 5.10.45, and Leiden says that version is too old to run the project. Rosetta gives me a similar message. So the server is going back to work on the other projects I have been running unless any of you know of a way to get a newer BOINC client to run on a server OS.

edit: Rosetta seems to be cooperating on the server now, and I also have it attached to LHC to give a little boost to those two projects.

 

[GLeeM]

We are now in 8th place overall with 153 Formula BOINC Race points
Within two days I expect two more points in Collatz to add a little padding under us.

LHC@home 1.0 (?6 track?)
is close to being over taken ~13,800 points so I put my 14 cores on that

Thanks Stitch We passed that team last week and are slowly building our lead. Adding to the lead is going to help alot.

Rioja has no more work units.
I'll sit on this one also in case it opens up.

I am doing this too. If Rioja gives more WUs, we can pass two more teams and add four more Formula points for a cushion against being passed in other projects.

It is going to be hard keeping a lead in all these projects. Especially when the PrimeGrid race starts in nine days and goes for five days!

 

[GLeeM]

I hope the chart below makes sense.

Those with no "points above" are too far to overtake.

 

[StitchExperimen]

CAS and EDGeS with another quick check have NO WORK.

I got 1454 points in Rioja or we would be behind PURE LUCK I was just doing cancer in WCG then read the message boards and then started counting points up.

 

[Wolfsraider]

so does that mean I need to move from rosetta to some project where I will help more and if so which one?

 

[biodoc]

so does that mean I need to move from rosetta to some project where I will help more and if so which one?

It's your choice. I moved my 1090T back to Rosetta so if you'd like to try another project, go for it.

For me:

1090T: Rosetta
9550 and 2600K: LHC
3930K: Constellation


FYI, the project eon has been shut down so no opportunity there.

GLeeM, do my projects look reasonable at this point?

 

[GLeeM]

so does that mean I need to move from rosetta to some project where I will help more and if so which one?

No, you do not have to move from Rosetta.
As you can see from the above chart, Rioja Science is close to the team above and below us. They are out of WUs right now, but if they give more WUs, then it would help if we had more computers attached.

I tried to attach to Volpex, but it seems they are not taking more crunchers.
I attached to CAS, but no WUs in the last hour.
eon has been down for weeks.

I don't think we can climb any higher ... we just need to hold and extend leads.

Keep watching this thread in case another team makes an organized push that we need to counter quickly

EDIT: Yes biodoc, looks good! Do you think we could overtake in Constellation? Maybe we should steer Wolfsraider there? (I started there again too)

 

[StitchExperimen]

GLeeM I'm gonna do stats this once so take a break.

LHC is pulling away
I'm going to re-position on Leiden with 14 cores.
And park on Rioja.

Collatz Conjecture-----7,402,511-----3,813,645-----2,050,721 (Half day)
Who put the afterburner on?
Leiden-----56,549-----54,857-----53913 (Half day)

 

[GLeeM]

Who put the afterburner on?

For Collatz Conjecture:
GPU __________ Seconds per Large WU
GTX560Ti 448__ 45,000
GTX 970 ______ 29,000
GTX 780 ______ 26,000
HD 7950 ______ 26,000

In a day or two I am moving the 7950 back to Milkyway - I'm at 80M and want to get to 100M milestone before it ends!

 

[Wolfsraider]

I'' try to keep my eyes here every night/ morning to see whats needed i'll stay put till you guys need me elsewhere then

 

[StitchExperimen]

7th position TeAm AnandTech in Collatz Conjecture 6 points up 2 points
8th position TeAm AnandTech 155 points up 2 points

We will lose two points in LHC tomorrow. They came up fast from five place below.

GLeeM, where are you seeing this? I am probably looking in the wrong place.

 

[biodoc]

GLeeM, where are you seeing this? I am probably looking in the wrong place.

It's SETIKAH@KOREA. Their production is about 2x ours so it would be tough to match.

http://formula-boinc.org/index.py?lang=en&team=101&year=2014
We are in "League 2".
From there you can open the individual projects.

Then I look at Free-DC stats:
http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=team&proj=lhc&team=4

From there I can open "Project Rank" to see all teams doing that project and compare our Average with their Average:
http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=teams&proj=lhc

Remember that Formula points are for the current year.

To see all BOINC projects click on "Overall" on the far left menu.

 

[Pokey]

I see that now. I read the numbers incorrectly. The 8 and 6 pts are right-justified and I read them as part of the production number. In my mind we were 2 mil points ahead. :$

 

[StitchExperimen]

I think that we can pick up 3 points in Leiden Classical by passing 2 positions.
Team: Keep The Fire Alive has low points daily.
And Team: Nordlichter It seems were gaining on enough to pass.
You might check my figures.

Points above 61,801 Keep The Fire Alive!
Points above 34,521 Nordlichter
Points below 53,336 AMD Users
