2 % difference between GRC and XS,
1 % difference between EVGA and DPC,
1 % difference between OCN and UBT.

BOINC.BE of league 3 made almost double the credits of league 2's winner.

At least we can get away from RKN's final onslaught. Thank you all for the effort.

Personally having weak CPU didn't help me in this sprint. When I run its CPU app, it kept reporting error result. And despite its stability, I needed on average 6 hours to complete 4 GPU tasks. It turns out most of it was CPU time. I think, like previous years, I won't miss this "amicable" numbers very much.

Fantastic team effort by everyone

Congrats to XS and SUSA on 2nd/3rd and a sprint well played.

The next Sprint is at 0400 UTC. Okay for those in North America, not so good for others.

I think it's okay for europeans too. They just need to get up a bit early.
And it's around midday for asia-pacific folks so no biggie as well.

 

[phoenicis]

I'll be asleep, so no problem at all

To say I'm not a morning person would be an understatement.

This next Sprint is apparently pushed a day farther forward than usual? I was shortening up my queues and realized that the project won't be known until Thursday.

Because the race will be held at Montreal this weekend, so it should be about 6 hours late than the usual european schedule.

Sebastien fell asleep again.

 

[Orange Kid]

MOD_PYTHON ERROR is up next.

 

[crashtech]

Argh!

And the re-revised answer is...

How are you gentlemen?
All your SRBase are belong to us!
You are on the way to distraction!

 

[phoenicis]

Looking at my TRs and repeating to myself, glass half full, glass half full ..... SRbase being picked should at least help us with DC Vault endeavours.

 

[Ken g6]

What's the difference between SRBase and Whose Line Is It Anyway?

In both, everything, including the progress bars, are made up. The progress bars have no relation to how much progress is actually being made.

The difference is, in SRBase, the points do matter!

Edit: OK, prime numbers aren't made up; I'm just frustrated.

 

[biodoc]

Too bad I don't have a Zen 2 processor to test on the dreaded llr tasks.

 

[crashtech]

I can't wait for Zen2 myself, although I believe it will take some time after launch for it to be the most economical solution, even when accounting for power use.

 

[biodoc]

Maybe we should start a Zen2 for DC thread. This Sprint is pretty boring. I only needed 1 boinc instance per computer!

 

[Orange Kid]

SRBase day one and then some...
Sorry, still to much going on. Abbreviated stats are better than no stats.



Fourth place is good. We were starting to look like lushes with our fifths.

 

[Orange Kid]

SRBase day two….
Still hanging on to fourth

 

[ao_ika_red]

Gap to 3rd is getting wider, though. We need to throw whole kitchen sink just for trying to close the gap.

I happen to be watching the F1 race right now. I saw someone overheat and burn his brakes earlier. So please remember not to overheat and burn your processors!

And it melted the rear suspension as well. Montreal is stop and go track, so it's common issue. Especially on the early phase of the race when the fuel load is on the highest (about 100-110kgs).
