Boinc Pentathlon 2024

$2650 plus tax I relentlessly questioned the big/little cores, and they gave me their word they would give me absolute hell, when trying to multi-thread.For single threaded tasks they pleaded the 5th, but seem to be okay on the Rammin'Jammin' machine.

Boinc Pentathlon 2024

Say hello to my new grandchild! I couldn't resist, the price is for the components alone (or less?), thanks to Intel's/Motherboard Mfg'rs overzealous power pumping scheme to beat AMD. https://www.newegg.com/msi-infinite-rs-13nui-419us/p/N82E16883151331?Item=N82E16883151331

Boinc Pentathlon 2024

Having pre-tested all my rigs on the most recent PG challenge, I was more than surprised and frustrated that one machine would immediately power down once the CPU was loaded with tasks. Temps at idle were good, must be a failing power supply? Nope, but definitely a hardware failure, lol. Good...

Boinc Pentathlon 2024

I wish to run for SG this year, as a token of appreciation for the many many many spectacular events they have hosted over the years. I won't peek at your plans, I promise. I'll just run the Marathon and GPU project(s). (Assuming the marathon project is STABLE, might switch up as needed...

Jon, I see you back there. I'll just take the next exit for a pit stop, and let you pass. I just got the scorched paint buffed out from the last challenge, when Markfw came rocketing by me. ;)

I'll run flat out just until my next TRP milestone (or maybe the 2nd next, depending on how quickly points progress) , as a stress test for the Pentathlon. So I have either 4.6 or 14.6 million to go.

BOINCGames.com Final Four Sprint - Milkyway@Home

A LOOOOONNNNGGGG time ago, I was browsing the MW forum and came across a user complaining that the multi-threaded CPU tasks were not fully utilizing his 14 core server chip. My reaction (hopefully I didn't post anything, personal thoughts instead...) were much the same as some users react to...

It is sort of a challenge to get sieve tasks these days, so....SR5 Sieve is currently issuing WUs. Happy April's Fools Day! No, seriously, tasks are available. ;) Have fun coloring your badge!

Yes. 2 will be discovered actually. One for me, and one for you. I've been watching ESPN and have discovered I am actually a psychotic. I even went so far as to go buy a lottery ticket. :P Big primes do seem to be FEW and FAR between these days, don't they? Lot's of AP's left to find though...
