Surprise! PrimeGrid "GFN Short" challenge Jan 4-17 w/ nVidia GPUs

[biodoc]

Wow, three racers doing sTAts! Thanks guys! :thumbsup:

I dumped 6 CPU WUs in the last 12 hours.

 

[GLeeM]

I dumped 6 CPU WUs in the last 12 hours.

10 TeAm AnandTech 8589478.45
11 Crunching@EVGA 8143228.22

Looks like about 17 WUs ahead now!

 

[wayliff]

I've got 4 WUs sitting around 40% progress and around 98 hours elapsed.
It is getting tight. Hopefully these will make it by the deadline.

Hmmm...these 4 WUs are sitting at around 67% with around 162 hours elapsed.
I am doubting these will complete by the deadline.

:\

 

[Uppsala9496]

Not sure if any of my CPU units will finish in time. I may have 12 that will. Doesn't look like any from my fx8120 will finish. After the heatsink issues with that machine, I think there was just too much downtime and I had it running to slow for too long. Time will tell.

[GLeeM]

Thanks for the stats, Ken_g6

 

[Kiska]

I will do stats in approx. 5-10 hours from now

 

[Kiska]

Here you go the stats:


Only 2 days to go however I have run out of space for the stats so I will do 2 parts. Sorry if I overly consume your data!

 

[Uppsala9496]

Just had my first group of CPU units finish. Crazy that they are only worth the same as my gpu units. Took the cpu units some 180 hours to complete, whereas my gpu can do it in 17 hours (GTX460).
I am not feeling so bad that I will only have about 2-4 more cpu units that will finish in time.

 

[Ken g6]

Sorry if I overly consume your data!

Heh. I remember when I first got DSL 5.5 years ago, I asked them if they had a bandwidth cap or throttling. They acted like I was on drugs or something! I had to explain that I'd seen mention of something like that in Australia.

Fortunately, they still don' t have a bandwidth cap, but some cable systems do. :\

Our lead keeps getting more comfortable. 13 racers for a 13-day race in 2013! Plus, as promised, I passed SlangNRox.

 

[petrusbroder]

Thanks for doing the stats, Ken_g6!
I have been out of town for a few days (since Thursday evening ...) back again but the crunchers have been behaving well - only one crashed (due to a WCG-WU!).
Considering it all, that is quite OK ...

 

[zzuupp]

Thanks for the stats Ken & Kiska.

My last batch of cpu WUs finished up earlier today. I downloaded just 1 WU ; I doubt it will finish in time, but who knows.

 

[Kiska]

No need especially I am not contributing to the TeAm in the challenge. So I do stats.

 

[petrusbroder]

35 hours and 46 minutes until the end of the race:

[geecee]

Thanks for that stats everyone.

Looks like I am just about done. Submitted the last CPU WU that was probably going to finish before the deadline. Still have two more running, but it doesn't look good. I might be able to squeeze in one more GPU unit, but that's going to be close. Good luck to everyone in the final stretch!

 

[Kiska]

And here is the stats:


And now I need to start doing 2 part stats.

 

[Uppsala9496]

24 hours to go.

 

[Ken g6]

24 hours to go.

This may also be a good time to discuss the end of the race. After the race finishes, all results need to be validated before the scores are final. If you just abandon your WUs, or detach from the server, they can't be validated for at least 21 days from when they were downloaded. So please either finish or abort your WUs at the end of the race!

 

[Uppsala9496]

Cleaned up my queues. Only 2 more gpu units to finish.

 

[Kiska]

Hmm . I will do the last active race image stat update in 10 hours then I will move onto the 5th Charity Race doing stats and crunching. And maybe in the next 34 hours I might update the image stats.

 

[zzuupp]

I'll be able to finish one full round on the GPU's. After that, one WU should be for sure.

One definitely won't. And the third will be really close. The singleton CPU WU will finish on Friday night.

 

[petrusbroder]

Only 13 hours and 6 minutes left ...

Very nice showing in this race! Well done, all racers! :thumbsup:

I will deliver only 6 more WUs - can't juggle since this is a work day for me ...

 

[Kiska]

Here is the last stat for the race I will do:


Again this is a 2 image stat, Don't kill me for it. My computer screen isn't big enough being only 720p. Sorry!

 

[Ken g6]

Less than two hours left!

And finally one last reminder:

Make sure your computer returns all completed tasks BEFORE the challenge ends! Tasks returned after 17-January 18:00 UTC WILL NOT BE COUNTED FOR THE CHALLENGE. The deadline for these tasks is longer than the challenge itself, so you can't rely on BOINC automatically returning the tasks before the challenge ends.

So, if you can, check your computers to make sure they've sent in all their tasks!
