Boinc Pentathlon

Looks like OcUK (#10) will now have to pay for their good start. They are currently blundering through the countryside and have allowed Ukraine (#9) to pass and Boinc.Italy (#11), Crunching@EVGA (#12), TeAm AnandTech (13), Rechenkraft.net (#14), Gridcoin (#15) and even Meisterkuehler (#16) are closing in. Mind you, the margins are currently still very large but don’t be fooled!

Overall

OcUK - Overclockers UK have built a little castle at #19. Storming this will be difficult for BOINC@MIXI (#20) and nigh impossible for TitanesDC (#21), AMD Users (#22), SETIKAH@KOREA (#23) and LITOMYSl (#24). BOINC Confederation are just about hanging on to #25 ahead of SETI@Deutschland and BT Retired Club (#27).

Not sure that we are blundering through the countryside. We do have an objective, it's just that we are perhaps ambling rather than sprinting towards it?

That castle's walls could be made of mud if we are in fact blundering

Sorry chaps been out of the boinc stuff for a while now, fired up a few rigs to help out for the last half of the battle. Got everything except malaria running.

MGP · 11 May 2015 at 12:03

Yay Biffa to the rescue

Those on malaria, don't wind down too soon. Our current placing isn't guaranteed as the teams behind us are outproducing by significantly larger amounts.

verbal · 11 May 2015 at 12:12

Hi Biffa, welcome welcome

. I've switched over to Malaria to compensate

Biffa · 11 May 2015 at 14:02

I can add malaria if it helps.

OK in there and joined team.

Put Folding@Home on hodl too on the mail rigs :eek:

so I can put Einstein on the gpus. Still running 300K on the 750Ti's though

Glad to have you on board Biffa
I've got some malaria tasks to drop, but I've had no Internet since 8 am this morning since upgrading my broadband, it can take up to midnight to come back on but I have some units expiring in the evening

MGP · 11 May 2015 at 14:24

Malaria ceases at 1:00am tonight our time. We can't afford to slacken the pace, but don't over-queue WUs either since we need to switch efforts to other projects as soon as possible.

MGP · 11 May 2015 at 15:12

Arghh, has WGC run out of WUs

PDW · 11 May 2015 at 15:29

I'm still getting them.

MGP · 11 May 2015 at 15:39

hmm. Looks like my borged PC is playing up then.....

Ah, despite telling Einstein I only want GPU WUs, I'm swamped with CPU WUs as well. Hence no WGC

Andy I've just had a look at your machine (3 titans nice) You want to be just doing the 'Parkes PMPS XT' units which are much more productive than the 'Arecibo, GPU' units which are for slower cards, uncheck the latter in your Einstein preferences.

Biffa, you should also be doing just the Parkes units as suggested by hanluc

Two at a time as well (if you aren't already).

hanluc · 11 May 2015 at 17:24

Back on line

Just dumped my Einstien, malaria and yoyo units.

hanluc · 12 May 2015 at 02:14

Malaria has now finished, we just held on to 20th fending off a late surge from titanesdc and we are now down to 12th on Einstein, the two teams below us are 2 and 3 million points behind us respectively, and their output is the same as ours so with two days to go we are looking good for 12th spot.

PDW · 12 May 2015 at 11:08

I am going to stop paddling in the shallow end and go back to WCG to get a bit closer to 17th.

hanluc · 12 May 2015 at 20:08

Don't know about swimming, we're currently drowning on yoyo, down to 22nd. Doesn't at the moment look like any more danger from behind, and we are slow catching one team above but they're 70,000pts ahead of us, think I'll give it another day and decide whether it worth continuing with. With so few of us spreading ourselves thinly isn't an option and then we have the sprint any day now.

Edit: we've just pulled the spot back on yoyo

not going down without a fight!

PDW · 12 May 2015 at 21:12

They are coming back again, just like a yo-yo

Looks like there is a fair amount of stashing going on at Einstein, my pending total has risen quite sharply and now have over 2,000,000 points waiting to be validated :eek:

Slowly catching up in WCG but the Sprint to be announced tonight could through all sorts of spanners in the works !

andy_taximan · 13 May 2015 at 06:14

i got over 1 million points waiting on Einstein as well (247 tasks)

PDW · 13 May 2015 at 07:51

Despite a big dump by CNT in Einstein yesterday evening my pending has still increased overnight :eek:

Sprint task is LHC SixTrack which you can't sign up for on their site, you need to do it using BOINC or BAM.

hanluc · 13 May 2015 at 07:59

Apparently there is a 4 work unit per core limit on LHC so no major bunkering will be possible.
