New Competition time
Welcome to Summer Paralympics Challenge
To participate in the Challenge, please select only the Extended Sierpinski Problem (LLR) (aka ESP-LLR) project in your PrimeGrid preferences section. The challenge will begin 2 September 2016 18:00 UTC and end 7 September 2016 18:00 UTC. Application builds are available for Linux , Windows and MacIntel 32 bit and 64 bit. Intel CPU's with AVX capabilities will be significantly faster than the ones without (including all AMD CPUs), as this instruction set allows for more computing power.
ATTENTION: The primality program LLR is CPU intensive; so, it is vital to have a stable system with good cooling. It does not tolerate "even the slightest of errors." Please see this post for more details on how you can "stress test" your computer. WU's may take around 6 hours on the fastest/newest computers and more than a day on slower/older computers. If your computer is highly overclocked, please consider "stress testing" it. Sieving is an excellent alternative for computers that are not able to LLR.
Highly overclocked Haswell or Skylake (i.e., Intel Core i7, i5, and i3 -4xxx or better) computers running the application will see fastest times. Note that ESP is now running the latest, brand new FMA3 version of LLR which takes full advantage of the new Haswell features. It's faster than the previous LLR app and draws more power and produces more heat. If you have a Haswell or Skylake CPU, especially if it's overclocked or has overclocked memory, and haven't run the new FMA3 LLR before, we strongly suggest running it before the challenge while you are monitoring the temperatures.
Please, please, please make sure your machines are up to the task.

Woops, thought my pc was being weird playing up and errors on Atlas , just noticed i had lost 4 gig memory ! reseated the missing stick and all well again , weird how that happens
i would delete all workunits that arent started yet as they take so long and wait till it starts to download any new

yer these are real slow, mine are taking over 24hours i think, tho i got ht on , i just cut cpu down to 60% so they should speed up a bit, 9 running. Hope they score high lol
edit: gone in bios and turned off ht, just doing 7 at a time now.

wow what a project, BUT seems like its sorted now with ht off and running just 4 wu`s i got them down to 10 hours and they should start to validate , all the old wu`s i had started before and stopped/paused etc all seem to be invalid 
so if you got any of those id delete them.
How you getting on hanluc?

very slow but wow you did afew hope they verify ok
hope they verify ok
my cpu use set at 70% instead of 60% now and they take an hour longer but doing 5 instead of 4 now and that slowed down my gpu on sieve as well so they take 30 seconds longer
edit: woops a day early lol
I think nows the time to abort any that wont finish by 7pm tonight, just leaving a couple that should speed up as the number running falls, unless you want to run this after the comp lol
Not a great result from me, got off to a slow start trying to do 16 at once lol but they are flying now its down to 5, next time be better lol
tho good news on the primegrid, after giving my titan x a 190MHz gpu clock boost they are much quicker so my rac is going up still, 23rd best pc isnt too bad.
