Formula Boinc Sprints 2018

[biodoc]

Great job all!

Impressive performance [H]!

 

[Orange Kid]

ODLK is next up.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Didn't we already do.....errrrr, no. That was ODLK1.

 

[zzuupp]

Ok, I'm trying that bunkering thing again.
Might as well shout 'Rubber baby buggy bunkers!'

 

[StefanR5R]

Once in a while I would like to do a sprint at a project dealing with Square Latin Diagonal Orthogons, just to get a little variety into it.

 

[StefanR5R]

ОДЛК marathon standings from right before the sprint, for the record:

1 ..... SETI.USA ............................... 25 ...... 25,582,863
2 ..... L'Alliance Francophone ...... 18 ...... 13,800,207
3 ..... Czech National Team .......... 15 ........ 6,313,221
4 ..... Boinc@Taiwan ..................... 12 ........ 4,796,243
5 ..... Gridcoin ............................... 10 ........ 4,196,556
6 ..... TeAm AnandTech ............... 8 ........ 2,649,473
7 ..... UK BOINC Team .................... 6 ........ 2,345,350
8 ..... Russia Team .......................... 4 ........ 1,815,821
9 ..... BOINC.Italy ............................ 2 ........ 1,492,976
10 ... Overclock.net ........................ 1 ........ 1,422,433

Hmm. We received 2.4 M points during the ODLK1 sprint. However, while ODLK1 and ОДЛК have similar task run times, the latter has only ~1/10 of the credits per task. That way we won't make it further up in the marathon during the next 3 days.

 

[TennesseeTony]

First stats are up, after the 2nd hour......uhmmmmm, this isn't looking very pretty at the moment, lol.

1 SETI.USA 25..............................34,115
2 BOINC@AUSTRALIA 18..............9,003
3 Russia Team 15...........................5,892
4 TeAm AnandTech 12...................1,321
5 Rechenkraft.net 10......................1,245
6 Czech National Team 8...............1,242

 

[crashtech]

Thanks for the stats, @StefanR5R and @TennesseeTony . I was going to like them but there isn't much to like, lol.

 

[StefanR5R]

...we won't be earning points anytime soon.

I suppose the admin is located in time zone UTC+03:00, where it is half past two in the night right now, meaning it will be at least several more hours until admin intervention.

 

[Markfw]

Everyone. Do NOT buy any Enermax products. My first one, they gave me headphones, and I did not have to ship this crap back. Number 2 has now failed, and they want me to pay return shipping. This is a known design defect in these coolers, and the first way they did it was correct. Now this is NOT correct, and and they want you to pay return shipping.

Oh, and for the first one they shipped me back the first version, not the fixed version, so they owe me 4 coolers, and I will never see it. So thats almost $600 wasted, and I want to make sure they pay for it with NO customers.

Edit: aigomorla, the custom water is working fine, but its getting noiser by the day, and NO bubbles in the water, and no temp change, just noise. With my hearing disability, I can't tell from where its coming, but it sounds like the pump, does not sound like fan noise.

 

[crashtech]

Good enough for me, I won't be buying Enermax.

Looks like we killed yet another project with the sprint

There's an official response to the server problems on the ODLK forum.

Dear participants!

Please keep calm.

If the ODLK project server can not cope with the increased load, it is not the fault of the project administrator.

Did the Sprint organizers discuss the issue with the project administrator?
We already had a similar problem in the ODLK1 project when this project participated in the Sprint.

That's kind of a good question. Whose fault is it anyway? Is it FB's fault for providing the load? Is it the project administrator's fault for not handling the load? Is it BOINC's fault for not providing an automatic method to handle excessive load?

It will lead to the inevitable task limitation and then people will moan again.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Eh. Better solution would be to bundle 5 tasks into one work unit, with such short run times currently.

 

[StefanR5R]

it's up and running.

It was indeed. But now the feeder is down again.

Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
Server error: feeder not running

(edit) It goes up and down and up and down...

Not a good day for the admin.

 

[Orange Kid]

Not a good day for the admin.

Not going to be a good weekend for the admin or us.

 

[StefanR5R]

The first 18 hours,
top ten teams of league 1.

Literally nothing to see here; move along.

 

[crashtech]

Well, at least that looks better than the first stats that came out.

 

[StefanR5R]

Given that most scheduler requests fail with HTTP timeout, the server must have accumulated barge loads of "tasks in progress" by now of which the clients which requested them know nothing of, because the scheduler response didn't reach them.

 

[Orange Kid]

ODLK day one
So.... this one has been the toughest this year I think. Major server slowness.
We are in second, but stats have not been updated for 6? hours at least, so who really knows.
Maybe it will slowly return to a manageable pace for them as the weekend progresses. I have been able to get though a couple of times to check personal stats so it's getting better.

[StefanR5R]

I see it as a possibility that we are already looking at final stats here.

--------
Edit,
even though free-dc certainly could only pull a part of the real stats, it is showing three to four times as many points for the project in total as on prior days:

It would appear that ODLK server is catching up!

I've only got two stuck ones. Last night, I had countless.l
