2019 Formula Boinc Sprints

Thunderstorms!

Thankfully, I think I only lost power for 4 hours max....

I recently tested my 2nd-hand/used data-center-grade UPS, and after 45 minutes, I lost 10 percent of my battery capacity. Too much money invested to not have a decent power protection system!

I may have bid on a few too many battery packs though, to be honest.... (see pic)

You smell that? ...something is fishy here.... Hmmmmmmm.....I wonder when those cats will pounce upon their prey.....

 

[StefanR5R]

They'll pounce as soon as they get their SoB-LLR and GFN-22 tasks validated. ;-)

 

[StefanR5R]

The second twenty hour period.

 

[Orange Kid]

PrimeGrid day two:
In 2nd
Wonder what tomorrows dumps will do to the standings. Hopefully it will validate all our pending work and rocket us to 1st




From FreeDC:

 

[StefanR5R]

The third twenty hours. Twelve more hours to go.



@yodap, SETI.Germany had a big drop each day at 4 or 5 UTC. You seem to be safe from another one of those for the rest of the sprint.

 

[yodap]

Fingers crossed. Glad to see us up there with you big dogs, reminds me of years past. Good luck the rest of the way.

Now I see we’re getting help.

 

[StefanR5R]

Now I see we’re getting help.

That's perhaps part of being in league 1.

 

[StefanR5R]

Broadwell-EP hosts (mixture of 14- and 22-core processors), running "321 (Sieve) v1.07":

3,000 kPPD / 1,500 W = 2.0 kPPD/W​

GTX 1080Ti hosts, running "PPS (Sieve) v1.39 (cudaPPSsieve)":

15,000 kPPD / 2,600 W = 5.8 kPPD/W​

"kPPD" is thousand points per day after full validation. (Actual points-during-the-sprint is slightly lower due to a fraction of the tasks not being validated before the end of the sprint.) "W" is Watts drawn at the wall.

 

[StefanR5R]

PS, according to a post from August 2018, the same group of Broadwell-EPs would be credited comparably poorly for PPS-LLR v8.01:

792 kPPD / 1,680 W = 0.47 kPPD/W​

Furthermore, in January 2017, I reported 365...367 kPPD for GCW-Sieve on dual E5-2690v4. I measured 618...623 kPPD for 321-Sieve on dual E5-2690v4 now.

 

[TennesseeTony]

So, that's it? We held 2nd with no massive bunkers from SUSA or XS? Odd. Well done fellers!

 

[crashtech]

Hard to believe, right? Great job everyone!

 

[Orange Kid]

PrimeGrid Final:
Second place it is!!!
A fine race all. No real surprises at the end in this league.
Over in league 3, Carl (ken) Sagen made a move at the end to take third.



From FreeDC:



...and the Azerbaijan F1 results:

• Valtteri Bottas 1:31:52.942
• Lewis Hamilton +1.524
• Sebastian Vettel +11.739

 

[StefanR5R]

@Orange Kid, thanks for keeping track of both the team stats and the user stats... and F1 results too!

Here are graphs of the last 12 hours.



- edit -
PS,
wow, we earned us a medal, and even Silver!

 

[Ken g6]

Over in league 3, Carl (ken) Sagen made a move at the end to take third.

It wasn't really me. I was aiming for 8 points and might have gotten 6. I attracted the attention of someone bigger who got Carl Sagan to third. He might be named @Aurum.

 

[TennesseeTony]

@Aurum Thanks for hanging out with us for a bit, it's appreciated!

 

[crashtech]

Aurum might more aptly be named Midas, but regardless of appellation, we all appreciate his presence!

 

[TennesseeTony]

I really should learn English some day.

"Appellation means the name or title by which someone is known. Mark Twain is the famous appellation by which everyone remembers author and humorist Samuel Clemens. An appellation is what people call a person or thing — essentially, its name or title."

 

[IEC]

Aurum might more aptly be named Midas, but regardless of appellation, we all appreciate his presence!

Well, it is the Latin word for gold.

@Rudy Toody noticed some special badges made up by Rakesearch of the top seven teams in the the 2019 FB Sprint without regard to league. Here's ours:

 

[TennesseeTony]

The Scots of league two got the VII badge then? They outproduced League One's 7th place (wreck-in-craft). Cool.

 

[StefanR5R]

Sébastien is a cruel joker.

(There is a 2 hours short overlap between Javelin Throw day 2 and the beginning of the FB sprint, which my calendar is too coarse to show.)

 

[Orange Kid]

NFS@home for the FB sprint.
Cross your legs and hold your water a bit longer.

 

[Jondi]

NFS@home for the FB sprint.
Cross your legs and hold your water a bit longer.

... and hope the toilet doesn't break when everyone goes at the same time.

 

[TennesseeTony]

SUSA/XS/Scots have already dumped 3/4's of what they brought the first round. Might be ok.
