Just looked at Kiska's LC 'data center.' LOL!

Haha
I mean I could turn on my 2 full 42u cabinets

Sometime around August 15 we should expect another SETI race, in celebration of the WOW! Signal that was recorded....42?... years ago. I think this is another SETI.Germany hosted event.

Maybe somebody should start a new thread for this event.

It's still more than a month away, but registrations are now enabled.

And the Formula BOINC site says...

MOD_PYTHON ERROR

At this point I'd say:

50% chance they forgot to choose a project.
20% chance they chose one with a special character, e.g. "Mersenne+2"
30% chance something else happened.

 

[crashtech]

Hmm, sure looks like a page modification gone wrong, but you'd think it'd be fixed faster.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Lol. I guess I can be excused for being 35 minutes late on bunkering for the next Sprint.....

 

[Ken g6]

Seems like a case of...

 

[yodap]

Mersenne+2 it is. Thanks Ken!

 

[Ken g6]

Mersenne+2 it is. Thanks Ken!

Is it? The site still looks down to me.

Oh, and Peter Wanless' project is junk math that I refuse to participate in.

Sprint project: Asteroids@home
Duration: 07/13/2017 23:00 (UTC) - 07/16/2017 22:59 (UTC)
Hourly updated stats: http://formula-boinc.org/sprint.py?sprint=10&year=2017

From the "Distributed Computing Project List" sticky thread:

Asteroids@home
The aim of the project is to derive shapes and spin for a significant part of the asteroid population. As input data, we use any asteroid photometry that is available. The results are asteroid convex shape models with the direction of the spin axis and the rotation period.
Jan. 2017 Working Project. CPU and NVIDIA GPU. Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, and Android.

Edit:
Those who are new to Asteroids@home, remember to go to https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/team_display.php?teamid=183 and click "Join this team".

 

[TennesseeTony]

No GPU for me, just CPU for this one. And not enough tasks yet to try and bunker.

 

[StefanR5R]

Obviously the Formula Boinc web site downtime of last night enabled Australia and Europe to fetch all the work from Asteroids@home before America woke up.

 

[crashtech]

No work here for me...

 

[petrusbroder]

I have 369 WUs and crunching as fast as I can!

 

[Ken g6]

Asteroids is pretty interesting. On this page, if you click a link under the "shape" column, you can see what they think an asteroid looks like based only on how a tiny light in the sky blinked!

 

[crashtech]

I've never had any trouble getting work from Asteroids, until today...

P.S.
Yesterday I tried to put one machine to work on Wanless Mersenne +2, but it said Windows x64 machines weren't supported, which must be wrong. I assume it will eventually be selected for a sprint, so even though it it said to be "junk math," any insight on getting it to run would be helpful.

Oh, well that's a problem. I guess I won't worry about participating, then.

As for Asteroids, it seems that North American time zones got screwed in the deal this time around. I've only seen one WU hit all day, and that got done and uploaded since networking is on.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Orange Kid is traveling, if I remember correctly.

I can give us a baseline, but not daily updates.

Marathon, pre-Sprint: 491 points
Asteroids, pre-Sprint: 17,442,720 score, giving us six points, for being in 7th place.


PS: And I too, am getting no tasks.

 

[iwajabitw]

No tasks here.

 

[Ken g6]

Well, somebody must have gotten some tasks. We're number 2 at the first hour stats. I will make some contribution by the next stats.

 

[Orange Kid]

I see one machine got 10 tasks.
We are still in second Pretty amazing.

 

[crashtech]

I may have gotten a few, thanks to Kiska's warning late last night.

 

[Kiska]

OK I'll flush when I get access to Internet in the train
