Cheers

 

[TennesseeTony]

Thanks so much Steve!

OCN set it up:
http://www.overclock.net/forum/55-o...me-team/475163-gpu-projects-ppd-database.html

Note, this database errs more or less on the optimistic side, because contributors tend to cherry-pick. Because of this and because of the wide variability of PPD between WUs, disregard all entries with small sample size. (Example: GTX Titan X(P) and GTX Titan Xp realistically have nearly the same PPD as GTX 1080 Ti, but are a lot better than the Ti according to the data base.) Furthermore, the database does not differentiate between Windows and Linux, although we now know that at least bigger cards are a lot more effective on Linux than on Windows.

There's more information on the full page spreadsheet. The "summary" tab has very little info but if you click on the "sorted by GPU" tab, you'll see the individual submissions which include WU, clock speeds, OS versions, etc.

We are gaining points.
Only 5 more days! then this race is over ....

What kind of party? A rennaissance fair?

And we made it over 200M! Thanks, Peter.

Debating whether or not to cash out my remaining ETH and dump it all into a dozen or so 1080ti's from work for the last few days...wouldn't be the responsible thing to do, and yet...I've slacked this competition.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, use inflated fake money to buy tangible goods, use them for a while then sell for an inflated price for a profit. Sound like a good investment to me.

 

[Orange Kid]

Best to check your work policies so you don't get in trouble though.

 

[TennesseeTony]

If you're hoping to pass us in time, you'd best make it 3 dozen, maybe 4.

Of course

Yeah it wouldn't really be enough to do that

 

[IEC]

Not to mention some of us have sizable reserves available in a pinch

 

[ao_ika_red]

I heard that somebody has "few" Titan V laying around their shelf.

 

[Markfw]

Well, I now have 2 980TI's idle, and 2 more will be on Tuesday, when my second 1080TI arrives.

Not really. Just a get together with some good friends, some very good food, vine and a lot of self made music: two guitars, a base and keyboard and a lot of singing (good singing ... could be performed in small settings). Just a million tons of fun.

 

[petrusbroder]

The numbers - only - today.

Moving on ... it seems very unlikely that Brony@Home could compensate ... but not impossible.
OTOH: 6.314 B points produced in the race - that is just great!

 

[hiigaran]

Oh definitely won't be catching up, that's for sure. Can't be giving up, regardless!

In case I don't get the chance to say this later on, it has been a great race. Thanks for being a part of it, guys.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll probably need to hibernate for the next two days...

 

[StefanR5R]

The race starts December 1, 18:00 UTC and ends January 1, 12:00 UTC (the race between the two teams in TeAm AnandTech) and February 1, 00:00 UTC (for the race between Brony@Home and TeAm AnandTech.

Competition will start at 18:00UTC December 1st 2017 and end 18:00UTC Febuary 1st 2018

Wait, are we letting Brony@Home jog an extra round of 18 hours?

I almost feel bad that it wasn't closer here at the end. I think it might have been a closer race if we hadn't been given that scare when Nekolepsy got all those points. That got us scrambling to add more power, I even went into debt to buy a 1070ti right after that happened. Anyway, you guys have been great!

You say that like it's a bad thing!

@StefanR5R, I'll let tiwake know about that detail.

Well, after 59 long days of racing, we are just 4 days worth of average team output apart.

(But then again, we had sprints in the past which were decided by just a few work units...)

 

[petrusbroder]

Here are the stats for the 59th day of the race in Folding@Home with Brony@Home
Stats are as of January 29, 2018, 21.15 UTC (approx).
The inter-team race stats are from the Folding@Home stats page and from EOC.com.

Less than three more days to go. Just remember, Brony@home dropped more than 100 M points at one points during the race. Although the probability of that happening again is low, nothing is impossible ...
6.4 B points produced in the race - not too shabby ...

 

[StefanR5R]

Less than three more days to go.

EOC's estimation which is based on our last-7-days performance says that our overall team rank will go one up on January 31:

Will we truly make it still in January? The latest trend in the blue/red/green graph unfortunately doesn't look like it. I guess I may not end up pushing the power-off button at the very minute when the Brony@Home challenge is over, like I already secretly planned to...

 

[FinalplayerRyu]

Well we tried our best... i blame our compatibility issues.

Science and magic don't mix well.

[Talifan9]

Does anyone know the folding potential of Vega 56/64 cards by any chance? We just got a handful of them in at work alongside a massive dump of 1080/1080ti's.

Edit: Oh god the picture is huge nevermind
