2019 Formula Boinc Sprints

[Ken g6]

Hey, one of my WUs apparently had Decic field. I guess the rest of the fields were healthy?

 

[StefanR5R]

Good luck TAAT!
May the wind blow you're hair in your eyes as you pass us by.

Well, it's still 77:66 for you just from the marathons.

It's 80:80 now in total points. O_O

 

[TennesseeTony]

HOOLEEEEEEY CRAP XS and SUSA came out swinging on this first Sprint. This year is going to be INTERESTING for sure. LOL

Uhm, wow, you guys using vibranium armor or something? You've absorbed all their attacks and then sprung WAAAY ahead suddenly! Well done!!!!

It's 80:80 now .... O_O

Ouch, I wonder how much more kick that has than a 30:30?

 

[Orange Kid]

Numberfields Final;
Well 5th it is. Well done all.
We moved from 16th to 8th in Numberfields gaining four points there and from 14th to 11th (tie) in the Marathon.



Numberfields Checkered Flag
xii5ku comes from way back in the pack to take first, 10esseeTony is on the podium in second and crashtech has third. Aurum comes from nowhere to 5th. biodoc holds off a charge from Howdy2u2 and Orange Kid defends his spot from a late charging Ken_g6.
Great race to all !!! Need some more competitors for the next one.



...and the Australia F1 results

• Valtteri Bottas 1:25:27.325
• Lewis Hamilton +20.886
• Max Verstappen +22.52

@Orange Kid, thanks for these stats and race commentary!

Here is the teams graph of league 1 for the final day.

That was an intense race. I have no more fingernails by the way.

 

[Ken g6]

This week's sprint is World Community Grid. @Markfw, this one's for you!

 

[TennesseeTony]

Woohoo! No need to change projects.

 

[Markfw]

This week's sprint is World Community Grid. @Markfw, this one's for you!

Yup, I have been doing over 100k per day with a few hundred cores for like forever !

 

[Orange Kid]

Our Marathon standing in WCG.

 

[Markfw]

I added over 100 threads this morning, so I should be well over 150k ppd. I don't know why it looks this bad.

We're ahead of everyone in Leagues 2 and 3 except IBM (of course) and UserFriendly.org. I guess League 1 is just a tough place to be these days. As of the first update we're 7th in the sprint.

 

[Orange Kid]

Day one of WCG;
We are in sixth spot with China and 2ch in the mix this time. SETI is right on our tails, hopefully we can hold them off. Are XS and [H] both building bunkers? Time will tell.



From FreeDC;
Lots of racers in this one....ok, so some are regulars, but it's great to have more.

 

[Orange Kid]

Day two in WCG, albeit a late.
We are still in sixth and have pulled away from SETI slightly. [H] has passed China and XS is hanging in there with the Coiners.



From FreeDC:
Nice output all. More more more

 

[Markfw]

I need to find a way to fire up another box. I have 5 with no video cards @!

Edit I found a few one meg PCI crap cards, and linix is in "safe" mode, but they are running WCG ! A couple more threads...

Go XS (and us). It would be nice to see someone beat the coiners.

 

[Ken g6]

Looks like we squeaked out a victory over 3DNow! Who beat SETI.USA to the wire.

 

[Orange Kid]

WCG Final;
Sixth it is. Nice sprint all. Planet3DNow! tried a fourth dimension pass to no avail.
10 days till the next sprint, so take some time to spring clean those machines and get ready for the next race.



From FreeDC



...and the F1 Bahrain results

• Lewis Hamilton 1:34:21.295
• Valtteri Bottas +2.98
• Charles Leclerc +6.131

 

[TennesseeTony]

Our sincerest thanks for keeping up with the daily stats, Kid!

 

[StefanR5R]

Congratulations to you all for this achievement!
I watched you from afar and am happy that you did so well in this one.

Am not so happy that I couldn't be in this sprint with medical projects. :-(
My computers were all packed up, as I moved from one town to another.

 

[Orange Kid]

RakeSearch is the next sprint.

As we start, we are in 10 overall (marathon) and 12th in RakeSearch

 

[Ken g6]

Is it just me or is it difficult to get a lot of work in RakeSearch?

P.S. Don't forget to get the optimized app.

 

[StefanR5R]

I just laid out some Ethernet through my new home, unboxed the first 2P Xeon, attached to RakeSearch... and am getting no tasks. :-| I feel right at home at Formula Boinc.

OK, this just needs to be retried. The server does have some tasks for those who ask politely but firmly.

 

[Orange Kid]

P.S. Don't forget to get the optimized app.

Any ideas which are best for what?
AVX--------intel?
SSE3------Ryzen?

 

[StefanR5R]

On my Broadwell-EPs, the AVX2 application runs at the non-AVX turbo clock. Also, power draw at the wall isn't particularly high compared to some notoriously power hungry projects (e.g. PrimeGrid's LLR based projects). Both means that the application does not make a remarkable use of the vector processing units.
