PrimeGrid Calendula Challenge September 24 - October 7

[petrusbroder]

sorry, I wanted to contribute and reported all my results before the deadline, but they were all inconclusive... no credits for the team

... Yet! Inconclusive often means that the other computer errored out not that the points are lost. It will probably take longer time ...

 

[RobertE]

If my math is right and all positions remain the same, we should be 10th in this challenge earning 630 points, moving us up to 13th overall with 1233.5.

Nice job everyone.

 

[Ken g6]

We should be 10th in this challenge, but that only earns the TeAm 270 points. You were looking at the individual points. Though Peter could earn 474 or more individual points.

Here are the current team standings:

Rank__Credits____Team
7_____21858707___BOINC@Poland
8_____21236692___Major Polish Teams Alliance
9_____19947108___Czech National Team

11____13398889___The Knights Who Say Ni!
12____10250731___PrimeSearchTeam
13____9645043____Ukraine

We haven't lost any points yet. Neither have The Knights Who Say Ni! But PrimeSearchTeam, Ukraine, and the Czechs have.

Oops...my bad. :whiste:

Anyway, reran the numbers. Looks like we would move from 19th to 15th overall.

 

[petrusbroder]

Hmmm, I have climbed one rank since the race's end. I hope it sticks!
The TeAm is still #10, and it seems unlikely that we would gain some 5 million points to become #9 ...

 

[Ken g6]

Hm, we have lost a few points since the race.

It looks like the only user with a malfunctioning computer, that's been detected so far, was:

395____163167_____Tom Philippart

Edit: And the fourth one is going the same way.

Sorry, Tom. But this is why we needed extra WUs in this race!

On the other hand, someone from KWSN also lost a WU.

 

[petrusbroder]

 

[Rudy Toody]

I have one unresolved WU remaining. Of six issued, mine is the only completed one. There were three errors and two aborts. No other WU has been issued yet to be matched to mine.

It will be some time before my total is known!

 

[biodoc]

I have 14 yet to be resolved. 2 are clearly questionable. I had a hexacore run where 4 looked fine and the other 2 had ~200 sec cpu time but all the run times were normal. I can personally vouch for those 2 cores. They worked just as hard as the other 4 cores!

 

[RobertE]

Lucky so far I guess. All WUs so far have validated. Have 5 or 6 outstanding that are waiting on resends.

I do have my main box on cleanup duty, so almost instant point there.

 

[petrusbroder]

Of 121 completed WUs only 19 remain to be validated - many of them waiting for being resent, quite a few are "in progress". Lets hope for the best ... approx 75% of those WUs errored out during the race.

 

[RobertE]

Haven't lost any points so far, others however have. I've moved up 3 spots from 113 to 110.

 

[petrusbroder]

The TeAm is still in 10th place with over 1M points advantage.
Most of the WUs are validated - I have only one WU from the race left to validate.
One more week until final results?

I'm down to 1 challenge task pending as well. I have moved up to 108th also.

In the "what are the odds" category, I ended up being kimmyl's wingman on this task. http://www.primegrid.com/workunit.php?wuid=133014290

 

[petrusbroder]

The final results are in:

We are in 10th place for the Calendula race, earned 270 points. In the total challenge we are in 15th place and have a total of 873.5 points.
We should be able to get up a few ranks before the end of the challenge.

Since I am not at home I don't have the time to do the individual stats (Internet cafe time costs and the line is terribly slow), but I am sure Ken_g6 will do them in due time.

 

[biodoc]

I think the cleanup is still in progress??

My summary which is still not reflected in my point total for the race:

18 validated WUs: 12 on 3 core2quads and 6 on 1090T@3.6GHz
4 WUs marked invalid.
2 pending

I tried bumping up the overclock on the 1090T to 3.8GHz+ in an effort to get another round (3 total) of WUs done before the deadline and 4/6 have been invalid. I suspect the remaining 2 will be invalid too.

Bottom line: My race point total will drop from 980,000 to ~740,000 when the cleanup is done.

Sorry guys.

 

[petrusbroder]

Hmmmm, this is odd. The teams and the participants have been awarded the challenge points. This should mean that the clean-up is done. Or: Am i wrong?
Previously the teams and the participants have only been awarded the challenge points when all the clean-up was finished ...
November 1, 2010 822 WUs were outstanding, 593 in scoring position, see the corresponding post in this thread. I have not seen any later post ... and the 10 days since then should have taken care of those WUs which are in scoring position ...
As I said: I may be wrong on this though - I just do not have the time to investigate more just now.

 

[Ken g6]

They stated earlier that current challenge points awarded are temporary. Just to see where you are assuming positions don't change. Here are some current stats:

My position changed , but the TeAm's didn't. And, biodoc, those invalid WUs have already been counted, so you won't lose more than 2 more.

 

[petrusbroder]

Well, we should not loose more than a million points ... So thats safe, I think.
About the individual positions ... that is a different matter.
OTOH there is only 15K differens between DOGG (#18) and me (#19); less than one WU. If he looses one the I go up because all my WUs from the race are in and I can not lose any more ...
