Ehhhh....it's a touchy project. I seldom see more than 50% tasks in cue than I have cores to run with, and ONCE I've caught a 7 thread machine only running one WU. I check frequently when home, and that one instance is the only time I've seen the "Just in time" WU delivery fail me.

That said, I do NOT like "just in time" delivery, as it obviously has failed some of us, and probably the rest of us when we're not looking.

Don't give up hope, but by all means a secondary project is a good idea.

Here are the fourth day's stats:



The TeAm's standing (up to 6 points, 2 points more from this morning, 6 more points from the start):



The production compared to other teams:



And the TeAm's standing in the BOINC-Formula championship:



We are doing good - and better will it be since now biodoc, Ken_g6 and waffleironhead have joined - welcome!

I have twice as many WUs as I have cores - but I've set my buffer to 5 days ...
I have LHC as the back-up project with much lower priority.

Please check the second post: I've changed the dates so that all of the racers, who contribute to the PrimeGridChallenge can do so. And I'll pitch in too ... will add a few CPUs and/or GPUs.

Thanks, Peter! I appreciate it. I particularly like the break in between races for the first PrimeGrid challenge. (Second? Third? The one next month.)

The quick morning stats: the TeAm has produced 25 109 points since the stats yesterday evening!
We should pass Planet 3DNow before the evening stats.

Sorry about the pass RT.

You've held the #1 slot for the TeAm for a very long time. :thumbsup:

BTW, my 1090T per core is my fastest rig on these WUs (just under 4 min per WU) so it looks like this project is a good one for AMD processors.

Congratulations. I'm waiting for a new PSU for my new build and my 1100T is limping along so I'm saving it for my mathematics. I'll be in the mix in a week or so.

Here are the stats:



And the Formula-BOINC standing in EdGeS:



We have risen from #11 (=0 points) to #6 (8 points) and have passed a number of teams.
If the TeAm's production continues we may end up as # 3 (=15 points) or possibly #2. Please go on crunching!

... and our production:



... and finally the TeAm's standing in the total Formula BOINC:



We are rising steadily from #25 to #21. That is progress. Soon the going will become somewhat harder ... we need to rise in more projects. The race is on!

My computers sat idle for almost 40 hours so I put them back on the project I was running previously (NumberFields) at a low priority. They'll still check for work from EDGES and run it first whenever they get some, but it makes me sad to have them sitting completely unused even just for 1 1/2 days..

I noticed you and GLeeM and are on NFS@Home?

You guys are close to picking up a point. :thumbsup:

Looks like I should really post my script I'm using to get EdGES work. I haven't run out of work for more than 5 minutes.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Script to ensure EdGES@Home has at least EXTRA_WUS work units.

EXTRA_WUS=1

while true ; do
  count="`boinccmd --get_tasks | grep "^   \(project URL\|scheduler state\): " | grep -A 1 "home.edges-grid.eu" | grep uninitialized | wc -l`"
  #echo Count is $count
  if [ "$count" -le "$EXTRA_WUS" ] ; then
    date
    echo Low on edges work - $count WUs left - giving it a minute
    sleep 60
    count="`boinccmd --get_tasks | grep "^   \(project URL\|scheduler state\): " | grep -A 1 "home.edges-grid.eu" | grep uninitialized | wc -l`"
    if [ "$count" -le "$EXTRA_WUS" ] ; then
      echo Trying to get new work with $count WUs left
      boinccmd --project "http://home.edges-grid.eu/home/" update
    fi
  fi
  sleep 60
done

This only works on Linux. I actually have a similar version running on a Windows box, but that requires Cygwin or MinGW or something.

Edit: On a machine with only 2 cores I'd set EXTRA_WUS to 0.

Here are the numbers for the crunchers:



Tomorrow we will hit the half-time stats ... and we may reach a new "High": ¤5.



Looks good, doen't it?
Some more numbers - the TeAm's production:



And now a important table: the Belt-table:



Well done TennesseTony! But the race is long ...

Well done TennesseTony! But the race is long ...

Thank you, but it's getting really warm here. I've had two windows open and three fans running for several days now, lol. I'll soon have to start suspending during bedtime, I fear.

The heat is worse because I've been trying to help us from getting too far behind in MW also (We're not catching up to Overclock net, but we are quickly approaching the team (that was) ahead of them, XtremeSystems, so it's working out regarding the FB points...just not how I planned, per se.) Many others have redoubled their efforts on MW also, many thanks for hearing my pleas for assistance on this project as well!

My Edges output may drop in addition to a nightly shutdown, as I need to start converting most of my rigs away from Windows 10 Tech edition (which expires soon) and try to learn Linux. :\

(see the other thread, too).
I've tried running Linux Mint on some "slower" computers - worked perfectly well. Now my kids have those computers and it took them some time before they realised that they were running Linux ... LoL!

Say, Peter, when are you going to announce the next project? Unlike Edges, some projects seem to take some time to ramp up.

I was thinking Tuesday or Wednesday: Today is the half way point and then we have two more days to decide and then three days to ramp up.
Just now NFS@Home, CAS@Home, Milkyway@home and Numberfields@home are likely candidates.

I encourage proposals of candidates!.

Leiden classical is also a good choice. I think we've lost a couple of points in the last couple of weeks. CAS@home only periodically has work.

Linux users have to install the freeglut3 package to get leiden classical to run.

Here are the individual stats:



The EDGeS Formula BOINC-stats:


We are now #5 (with 10 points); tomorrow probably #4 with 12 points! We may produce more than a million points and that would put us way, way up! (#2 or #3???)

The TeAm's production:



Twice as much as our closest competitor!

And the standing in the Totals:



A nice climb! And tomorrow? Parhaps two more points to #19?

Well done, TeAm!
