Formula Boinc Sprints 2018

[StefanR5R]

Seems that a decent supply can be had now.

No; demand is constantly exceeding supply ever since <1h after the sprint announcement. The lottery continues.

Oh, well. I was just going my what I am seeing on my own machines, and they have been able to work continuously since the official start time. YMMV, apparently.

 

[StefanR5R]

Actually what I meant to say is global demand exceeds supply. Notably, # tasks-in-progress was still climbing when I posted (seems to flatline now), while # tasks-ready-to-send was near 0 all the time without a break (and still is, at this time).

Personally, my hosts have as much work as needed to keep them busy too, but queue depths are shallower than I generally like.

Day one of TN-Grid and the lack of work seems not to be hampering most teams too badly. Got to give them credit though. With the pounding the server has got to be taking they are holding up well.
We find ourselves in 2nd place with SUSA not far behind. As we know all too well they are slow starters, so we need to keep an eye on them.
CNT and LAF have been back and forth with LAF putting a small lead on CNT for now. Italy who WAS ahead of us in the marathon is no longer and have fallen out of the points in the sprint.
It looks like we have also picked up a couple of points in the Acoustics@home marathon.

Day 1:

Day 1:

A certain team just hit the roof quite soon. Seems like they're in other league.

 

[StefanR5R]

Day 2, 1st half.

Now the red line hit the roof too.

 

[Markfw]

Well, the 2990wx has done 88k credits since I started, like 1 1/2 days ago ?

Edit: 32 hours I think, and thats 66k ppd

 

[StefanR5R]

@Markfw, it's as if AMD developed the 2990WX specifically for TN-Grid.
I posted numbers in the other thread.

TN-Grid day two..
Holding good in 2nd while the others are jockeying for position.
BOINC@AUSTRALIA has come from 10th to 5th and Overclock.net has gone rom 6th to 10th big switch there.
CNT anf LAF are still fighting for position while the Russians have silently moved up a bit as Rechenkraft falls.
Primegrid challenge starts in a few hours...but it's a 7 dayer so don't give up too much here.

Day 2:

Everybody's number of tasks pending validation was reduced a bit during the last hour, as [H]ard|OCP dropped a 0.6 M bunker.

And stats.free-dc.org just came back, with which seems to be an 1/2 day update.

 

[Markfw]

I still have 509 pending validation !

 

[StefanR5R]

Spying in other forums, I see people complain about ~30 pending! OK, that's from a total of ~40 completed tasks of the complainer, so I understand the concern...

 

[StefanR5R]

It's been a long while that I last visited TN-Grid's/ gene@home's science status page; so I did now. Alas it wasn't updated with details on the ongoing dataset lately. The info is available in a terse forum post instead:

The goal of this experiment is the identification of gene networks involving human genes of medical relevance for two broad families of human pathologies: motor neuron diseases (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_neuron_disease) and hematopoietic tumors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumors_of_the_hematopoietic_and_lymphoid_tissues).
Human gene network expansion will take advantage of the comprehensive gene expression dataset provided by the FANTOM project (http://fantom.gsc.riken.jp/5/data/).

Hmm, I'm busy now, but perhaps I should look at the affected machine? It's new to me to be mentioned in this way...

It's number 38177.

 

[crashtech]

It's number 38177.

Well, this is disturbing. The machine in question is a dual Ivy Xeon, E5-2680V2 x2 with 32GB of ECC DDR3. It's usually rock solid, but appears to have a high rate of "Inconclusive" and "Invalid" on TN-Grid. I don't know what to look for or what to do, save taking it out of service or applying it instead to PrimeGrid.

Suggestions?

Edit: This seems to be isolated to the second instance of TN-Grid on this machine, simply due to the way things went, I ended up splitting the work between two instances on the one machine. I am shutting down the second instance and putting all cores toward the first instance, though I have not a clue why this would have been a problem.

It was running anonymous platform, while its sibling 17472 runs the stock applications with a normal low rate of inconclusives.

Ah, yes, that makes sense. I meant to remove that custom app from all the machines as it seems to be a poor performer, though as usual, I'm easily distracted and quite busy.

Congrats on 2nd guys!

TN-Grid final..
2nd place for us and a 3rd all around. Great race and effort by all.
Moved up a spot in the marathon also and now have a 1.5m buffer.
Full steam ahead in PG!!! (these be some long ones.)

Day 3.

 

[StefanR5R]

Congrats on 2nd guys!

With TN-Grid on GC's whitelist, this one feels like 1st. :-)

Congratulations back for 1st overall, 1st in league 2, and a bit of 2nd in league 2. ;-)
