PrimeGrid Challenges 2023

[Markfw]

Well, I have 46 tasks ready to enable/download. I can wake up at 4 am (local time) and it will take me 5 minutes.

By this time tomorrow, we will see how my fleet is working.

 

[Markfw]

Can someone tell me why these two look differetn ? same CPU, same windows version, same lasso, same rule different affinity

 

[emoga]

The first screenshot isn't pinned correctly.

Try re-setting the llr2 app to the default 0-63 on the system in question. Delete the rule, then redo the Instance balancer rule with the 'disable HT' button clicked.

It's early - some of us haven't completed a WU yet. But I'm not posting at 5am my time. 😴

[StefanR5R]

It's early - some of us haven't completed a WU yet.

I for one entered the race almost half a day after it started (after coming home from work), and 'main tasks' take about 1½ days on most of my computers. So from my point of view, it still is very early even right now.

I suppose there will be cloud users in this race who will get just two, or perhaps even only one, task done per VM within these 10 days. That is, stats are going to bounce around a lot the whole time.

 

[mmonnin03]

Are pending tasks not showing up this time? I thought they usually counted as if quorum =1 for the competition then made corrections after if a task was invalid.

My first/only task has completed but I'm not on the stats.

 

[StefanR5R]

Seems unlikely that you would, but: Did you perhaps fetch the task before Sep 13, 11:00 UTC?

 

[mmonnin03]

Ugh yeah. Like 90 min before.

 

[Markfw]

Well, we now have more points than 2nd and 3rd put together ! But Pavel Atnashev has come on strong. He is out-pacing me on average by several hundred thousand per hour.

Well, actually, its the TEAM that has helped me optimize them, instances, scripts, and lasso, are all in play here. And multiple team members are the thank, so many to list. Most everyone in the list of users and skillz, who is not there.

It looks like a real runaway so far, but slower computers may start showing up.

Oh, they have. I was number 1 and Pavel started showing up, and he has HUNDREDS if slower computer I am told. Still trying to get back into 1st.

 

[Skillz]

He only has 70 servers each with 2x V2 Xeons (He has a pair of V4 Xeons also). So 138 V2 Xeons and 2 V4 Xeons is what it's taking to stay ahead of your small fleet.

Yea, compared to that, tiny. 4 servers and 5 desktop.

We already had skills in this challenge, but now we have @Skillz too.

 

[Fardringle]

With Skillz joining in, we just MIGHT manage to finish in 1st place. But it will be close..

They have 50 million to add to their regular in 3.5 days. I don't think so. We have more than 2nd+3rd put together !

And in users, I have more than 3rd and 4th put together !
