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?

I should start returning work over the next few hours, I'm coming up to 52 hours compute time something's not right.

 

[andy_taximan]

very slow but wow you did afew hope they verify ok

I did 36. I tried windows but the performance was even worse, so back to linux but I'm not sure they'll complete in time for the comp.

 

[PDW]

Just suspend a few to make the others speed up enough to complete in time.

 

[andy_taximan]

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.

 

[andy_taximan]

Well that was fun Must do better next time.

A new challenge starts this evening, I'm going all in on this one, being as it's only 24 hrs and the work units are relatively quick.

 

[chris182008]

I'm in for this. I'll get everything set up when I get back from work.

 

[hanluc]

HT off is the way to go according to our EVGA friends.

 

[chris182008]

Hopefully we will keep hold of 10th place. Really impressive output Hanluc, I've got every system I can get my hands on running to get half the credits you've got.

10th place would be awesome considering there's just the two of us Your output is way over half that of mine.

I noticed that linux was slighlty quicker but I'm getting a few computation errors with my dual xeon rig, I get the same error with WEP M2: "finish file present too long" I googled it, but have only found explanations of what it is, not how to cure it.

 

[chris182008]

We are pulling away from Anandtech now. Providing they aren't bunkering 10th place should be ours

 

[chris182008]

Quite happy with the result. Overall 17th for Hanluc, 28th for me and 10th for the team

Rooms been like a sauna for the last 24 hours.

 

[hanluc]

Yeah good result, I also managed to find a prime in the top 5000

Congratulations, did you get an email from Primegrid about it ?

I've found 2 running Genefer WUs but the first, and best, was back on 24th September but have just received an email asking me to own up and let them know who I am.
Guess it is for the first one but it doesn't give any reference to the actual prime number found.

Yeah, they sent me an email straight the way, so I added my name.

 

[PDW]

Hmmm, wonder why mine took over a fortnight, perhaps it isn't an automated process.

I've got 19 days to think about my name
