DC Vault

Nice work on your to do list, half way to 7th already :)

Have you noticed any results with reduced credits ?

Only when I first started, I was getting around 40 pts per WU and a few random 25s, but I haven't noticed that recently, my machines aren't hidden if you'd like to wade through all thosw WUs and look :)

Malaria control is due for removal which should help us gain on 7th.
 
7th :cool:
Our highest ever position :)

Though I have noticed that Rechenkraft.net are showing as having no team on VTGU, when they have. I have dropped a message relaying this, I like us to be where we are fairly.
 
3rd realistically is the best we could ever achieve at this stage. When I think back to when we first started, cracking the top ten was a big deal! never thought we'd be this high.

I'll have the Vault in mind when choosing the next project to attack.
 
Thought I'd check to see how we're doing on the vault these days and we've dropped quite a bit with the inclusion of acoustics and rakesearch. I've not long finished slacker stomping on asteroids and have moved on to numberfields to try and get the no.1 spot there but I will be doing a bit of acoustics also.

Shout out to Andy and Oz, I know you guys are down't pit 24/7 these days but I hope you guys are well, sure is quiet around here.

Edit: A year and a half since the previous post lol.
 
I found the optimised apps on rakesearch after scratching my head and wondering why my production was so low. I just just went straight for the Linux avx2 apps, not tried or tested any other instructions or platforms.
I think acoustics runs better on windows, I've not tried it on Linux but I looked at the top hosts and that's the impression I got.

given the cards I have ( all R9 ) series, how would running milkyway help?, 1 x 290x 3 x 280x

its ashame as I did have these at one stage running.


1 290x
1 280x
2 RX480
2 270x

For the sake of the vault, no, the ones that need the most attention are all CPU

Acoustics@home
OGR-28 (non BOINC)
SRBase
Rakesearch
TN-Grid
VTGU

BTW How's the mining going Andy? still got the bug?
 
Ooh, I've just stomped you on Acoustics, I think this a first, I can't remember stomping you on anything before.
PDW said:
Yes, Acoustics is a bit better on windows, I tried it on both and reached the same conclusion.

Ooh, I've just stomped you on Acoustics, I think this a first, I can't remember ever stomping you on anything before? Do you have your TR on there? they seem to like that project.
 
I don't know how I managed that, quite scary really, must be my age.
I was running VGTU a few days ago but gave up as it was awarding me lousy credits, a single TR was out scoring my dual xeon.
I use psensor on Ubuntu, don't know if that picks up TR though.
 
I'm not sure if it's affected me or not. I had over a 1000 tasks ready to report this morning, tried to report them and got a HTTP error, they did eventually report but I think a saw them as not in progress on their site before they reported but I'm not 100% sure. I do have over 2000 waiting to be validated, I only started it yesterday, so I just don't know.
 
PDW said:
For those old ones of mine in pending validation, the task details show successful completion but clicking on work unit details it says "Unable to handle request, can't find workunit".

I have just checked mine, on the big rig most of what I randomly checked have a wingman but on my smaller machine I'm getting the same message as you about the WU being missing.
 
I'll get back on Rakesearch soon, it's a bit hot at the moment. I might do more on acoustics as that seems to use hardly any power & heat, maybe because the app isn't using the CPU well. I did notice the guy from China, nice to have help no matter how big or small.

No, was going to keep going :)

I suppose I'd better keep going then :)

SRBase can get hot, very hot, depending on how good your cooling is.
I run between 4 - 6 at a time on my 8 thread machines in one client with a back up project (or two) when it runs dry and another client has threads for a GPU and/or other project, POGS was good for this as it ran cool but that's gone. I have never run it on my TR, even limited threads, as I don't know what the temps are.

I'm OK for temps as my machine running it is watercooled. I was taken a bit aback when I saw how many credits you have on it :eek: Don't think i'll get any where near that, well done.
 
We need around 4 million to get 2 more spots, as to how much power, I found it seems to vary, different types of work units give different credit and the same type of work units can run longer when they have a higher range, the points do scale up but runtimes can still vary within the range. There doesn't seem to be checkpoints on the work units, if you reboot you start from the beginning again. I rebooted yesterday and found this but then the work units ran quicker so I don't know what's going on.

I've just got the 500K badge on average, now I'm working on getting the 500K sierpinski/ riesel base long. I'm not running too much and I've stopped on acoustics for now as it's stifling hot with everything running.
