DC Vault
- Thread starter hanluc
- Start date
Anyone who crunches The Skynet project should have received an email from them, I'll copy and paste it here anyhow.
Basically there are two Skynet stats, the original non boinc one, and the newer boinc one (Skynet POGs), these stats are going to merge. Anyone who is a member of the old team, can you please join our new boinc team as well so that your stats are included.
I should add as well if anyone is unaware this project is to be added to the DC Vault.

As you may be aware we are merging theSkyNet Alliance system with the BOINC Team system. As a leader in our community we are endeavouring to keep you informed.
Your Alliance, “OcUK - Overclockers UK” has been marked as a duplicate (see old and new). Early next week (2nd of December) we plan to merge the systems which will include your alliance. When the alliances are merged, all users and credit will be merged and the leader of the POGS alliance will remain as the leader. Please note that backdated credit will only apply to theSkyNet, not BOINC, as we have no way of manually assigning credit in BOINC.
One issue that we foresee is any user who is currently in your alliance who is NOT a member of POGS will need to manually re-join your alliance and join POGS, I will be emailing each user who is in this situation.
If you have any questions or if you do not wish for the above alliances to be merged, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Regards

Hmm, yes, I see what you mean, I'm not sure now.
More about it here
It's says in that post
did you get an email from them Phil?

I noticed they are all those long run work units, perhaps try editing your GPUGRID preferences and just run the short ones.
There's a setup guide here for PSP.
Important thing to add is if you do give it a go don't use the lastest PRP client, apparently the username and client ID fieids are mixed up somehow. I've been using version 5.0.8 still, no problems.

DPAD stomp should give us a nice 150pt boost in the vault. I dropped a message in the forums about adding ogr-28 being as 27 has finish and been removed, not heard anything so looks like we are are going to have to get 10th spot back the hard way.
I've stopped mining now and I'm currently pointing most of my cards at GIMPS ( can't get 3 in one machine to work properly) we've lost quite a few places on there recently. Short term goal is to get us up 14 places which I think will take me about a week, hopefully will give us 270 vault points.
Then we'll have to look elsewhere to gain points in order to get that 10th spot back.

Good gains this month in DPAD, GIMPS, Skynet, GPUGrid, Szataki and a few more to get us back up into 10th 
and 9th and 8th are not too far away but the higher we climb the tougher it gets, some projects are high maintenance, leave them and you get stomped back down.

After you've downloaded, extract the mfakto file and add a "worktodo.txt" file in the directory.
Log into your account at the GIMPS site and select manual testing /assignments from the left hand side drop down menu, you want:
Preferred work type: Trial factoring.
Number of assignments you want for each core: (how many work units you want).. say 10 for e.g.
Copy and paste the work units into your "worktodo.txt" file, each work unit will look something like this: Factor=*3B,94668187,69,70
I change the range up to 72, or 73 to look like this: Factor=*3B,94668187,69,73
..otherwise they complete too quickly and your constantly getting & uploading work..
Run the mfato.exe, when the work units are complete you have a "results.txt" file in your work directory. log into the GIMPS site again and upload it via "manual testing/results". you can "choose file" and "upload" the results.txt or copy and paste your results and "submit".
If you have more than one card in a machine, you need to create separate work directories and make shortcuts adding -d 0 , -d 1 ..etc for the separate cards (this is explained in the readme)
There's a sub project of GIMPs called GPU to 72, I've known about it for a while but never bothered checking it out, I'm trying it now. It has a minimum exponent range of 72 for TF work so there's no need to manually change the ranges.
What you do is get your work from there and submit your results as usual at the GIMPs site. There are also DC double checking work units available which I've not get tried and I see a tool on there called MISFIT designed to automate the fetching and submitting of work, also Free-DC are now providing up to date GIMPs stats

I'll try and explain it better. Each project listed in the DC Vault is worth a maximum of 10,000 points. That is if you were ranked no. 1 in a project you would get 10,000 vault points.
Take PSP for example. There are currently only 30 teams with points on the board, so 10,000/30 = 333.33... pts per position, we are in seventh, so take one away, times it by the points per position and subtract it from 10,000 and that's our overall vault points score.
7-6= 6 x 333.33... = 2000 | 10,000 - 2000 = 8000
Say a new team joined tomorrow, so there were 31 teams not 30
10,000/31 = 322.58 so each vault position now would be worth 322.58 pts instead of 333.33...
7-6= 6 x 322.58 = 1935.48 | 10,000 - 1935.48 = 8064.52
So we'd gain an extra 64.52 vault points just because another team joined, of course we'd lose out if they overtook us
