8th Annual BOINC Pentathlon: 5th May - 19th May 2017

Nothing to see here, move along

hanluc · 7 May 2017 at 19:12

Phew, it was a dud

MGP · 7 May 2017 at 19:23

I wouldn't relax just yet. Tony could be in need of a laxative to ease things along. Carpet bombing a big bunker in only a few minutes isn't likely.

And from posts over on TAAT I can see he's struggling with Boinc's 2 WU motions

Took over an hour, but they are all in. Still nothing for this hour's update either. My hope is that it shows in time to get some mention in the daily bulletin.

My moment of fame, short lived as it may be.

EDIT: Gonna suck if those machines were not already trusted, and require a wingman.

Heres hoping you were our wingman on a few of those you just uploaded tho i only got 230 pending now

Nice bunker, finally made it round the U-bend

I think I read the bulletins were based on the scores at 11:00 UTC so either too early or too late, however I think he might find time to mention it

MGP · 7 May 2017 at 21:41

Ouch. I feel sorry for someone's network connection. And electric bill.

10esseeTony · 8 May 2017 at 04:50

Ooooh. Snuck in a few bunkers did ya? Well done on coming out on top again. :rolleyes:

How many places will it cost you in the Marathon to stay there?

As you say, maybe we didn't like getting our backsides whooped last time we played these WCG games

MGP · 8 May 2017 at 18:35

I wonder if TAAT's it for WCG. They've shot their bolt. We seem to be edging away. Or are they trying to sucker us into moving resources elsewhere before a last push. Time will tell.

The 3rd discipline, ~~Swimming~~ Cross county starts in 6 hours time! 1am Tues morning.

MGP · 8 May 2017 at 19:09

Let's hope we won't drown

We usually do when it comes the GPU discipline :mad:

Would be nice if some of the folding guys could help us out.

ozaudio · 8 May 2017 at 20:11

could ask biffa, he was undecided 4 days ago. also be nice if colin is around, he has some nice gpu power

MGP · 8 May 2017 at 20:37

CNT just dropped a MOAB on Zika

Edit: And in two hours have gone from 10th to 7th spot, and are threatening 6th. That's impressive.

10esseeTony · 8 May 2017 at 21:36

TAAT's it.

Cute.

You guys may need to do some trading with your folders, promise them to run whatever you have, for x number of days, to make up the points the team will lose in Folding while they are running Einstein for you. I'd hate to see you fall TOO much beneath us when the Cross Country starts.

Crap. Still time to gain in the marathon...but little time left to try and catch you guys in WCG...I bet one of you is still holding a bunker though, just to ruin my day. Again. Decisions decisions.... Oh, and I have to go make promises of trade to a folder of ours...

Xez · 8 May 2017 at 22:38

Trying to get Einstein to use my GPU, but it just says it's missing even though it says 1 CPU + AMD/ATI, computer is in use but I don't know why...

PDW · 8 May 2017 at 22:53

So it has downloaded GPU work to do ?

Xez · 8 May 2017 at 22:54

It has yes, I was RDP'D to it so that may be the reason as to why, I'm going to check back shortly to see if it's started them.

Edit - RDP suspends it...

PDW · 8 May 2017 at 23:01

In Boinc Manager, Activity, is 'Use GPU always' ticked ?
That will make it run all the time.
