We got an amazing team now with some amazing new machines, now would be a good time to enter any competitions if any going on?

I'm game, we can create our own competition at Boincstats, all we need to do is agree on when and what and how long.

I remember the last one skynet? , it was quite amusing how Ba was finding extra 12 core cpus down the back of his sofa and people firing up old laptops and phones lol

What about Denis@home? being as there are so many on it now.
We could have a week long competition maybe at the end of the month?

I would pause my FAH and some other apps and probably get another 5 cores for denis for the week

Sounds good, is there any interest from the other teams?

Welcome in the comp, OcUK sell some nice stuff

feel free

I'm in! Not been involved in a competition for a long time, so am looking forward to this

Looking at the teams that have signed up to the competition, BOINCstats suggests we'll finish a very comfortable second behind SETI.Germany. If we can add a few users to the cause then first place is definitely doable.

ozaudio · 22 Oct 2015 at 21:09

MPG has a 4 cpu amd 64 core set up still ? could ask him, colin is away at work when this takes place so he wont be joining as his wife turns his pc of.
voicon also has a lot of xeon cores IIRC as does BaBa but hes not around at the minute.

hanluc · 22 Oct 2015 at 23:14

Is there a core per WU limit on Denis? I can see the deadlines are 10 days old, don't now if it's worth preparing a bunker bomb or just run it normally and build up pending credit.

PDW · 22 Oct 2015 at 23:34

I'm getting limited to 14 per thread which would normally sound a lot but given they only last a few minutes it really isn't. They don't all validate immediately but not sure how much they back up though.

Think if you really want to bunker you would have to set up multiple VMs and run them in there. Even then using all the tricks you know you won't get that many so not really worth it.

Just hitting the ground running is probably the best plan.

hanluc · 22 Oct 2015 at 23:40

OK thanks, I'll do that. Probably switch over in the next day or two. I'm just testing out the apps at the moment.

I might be able to do the DENIS challenge wife seems happy to let me have the big rig on 24/7
