May I make a suggestion to all of those who are only running Milkyway@home for the Pentathlon and will stop working on it when it's over.
Please set your resource share to 0 on the project. What this does is only sends you enough work for as many cores/threads as you have on your system. This...
This is good for us since we're much stronger on CPUs than we are on GPUs by a good bit.
Not that we're weak on GPUs by any means, but we do have more CPUs than GPUs I believe.
But also last year the Obstacle course (Marathon) was a crap show and thus most people didn't put their CPUs on the project or at least fully on the project due to issues. This year PG is the Marathon and it's got no problems running CPU to its knees.
So the fact that two, stable CPU projects...
Everyone starting to drop bunkers on Numberfields, including P3D. Do they have enough to catch us? Guess we'll find out.
@StefanR5R I've done the same on my hosts running RNMA as well. Seems to help keep the CPUs busier than before, but I'm afraid this will hurt the project with so many more...
Those of you who are going to start on the RNMA City Run in an hour make SURE you run the built-in BOINC CPU Benchmark BEFORE downloading any tasks. The project uses CreditScrew to calculate points which is heavily based on the CPU benchmark score. If you don't your credits will be less than 50%...
I don't know, hopefully RNMA has a better Internet connection than Numberfields.
On the other hand, tomorrow my parts should get here so I can fire up the 4P 8890v4 Intel rig I have sitting on the floor doing nothing. I'll probably put it on Primegrid since it's got 60MB of L3 cache on each...
Yeah I was wondering about that. The Sprint was announced a little over 2 days before? Guess they rounding up over at SG?
I mean it techincally starts on the 5th and technically was announced on the 2nd. It's just not 72 hours between the two.
Likewise, I'm draining my work queues also. Although I got mostly Denis@home work.
Also, for those who don't know. We are aiming for a three-peat this year. That's three championships in 3 consecutive years. Only one other team has ever done this at the Pentathlon who many of you know by the...
Seems we got a couple new members this month.
@Rob608 assuming he's using the same alias on World Community Grid and Rosetta@home. Welcome to the team!
CaseyH, can't identify which alias he is using on the forums here; but welcome to the team on Milkyway@home.
Tyler F, also can't identify...
Glad they took the Obstacle Run away and replaced it with the regular Marathon.
The 5-day Steeplechase should be interesting though depending on which project gets picked.
