All current challenges: Our rankings are unchanged from Sunday, December 10 (post #102).

In "Dec 2017 By-results All-projects", our distance (at rank 4) from rank 3 increased from 7,760 on Wednesday to 12,583 on Thursday. Even the team at rank 5 out-produced us by 728 results that day, but this isn't dangerous considering the remaining distance of 54,022 results. It looks similar in the other races: No chance to advance (with much of our CPU resources shifted to F@H), yet little likelihood to drop in the ranking.

Per-user stats: See our free-dc WCG page.

Thanks so much, Stefan, for taking the lead, regarding stats keeping for all the WCG projects we are competing in this month!

 

[StefanR5R]

Thanks for the appreciation. :-) I am glad though that this effort remains limited by tracking just teams, not users, and that the movements (or current lack thereof) in the 6 challenges are pretty much in line with those in the main one, the Christmas Race.

There is still some moderate shuffling of ranks going on, but only below the top 9 which are stable. (The top 9's daily production is in the same order as their rank by score.) [H]ard|OCP maintain their lead over Team China with an incredible PPD that is about 1 M higher than China's. We are out-producing the next team by a slimmer margin, but have amassed a comfortable lead over them in the first half of the race.

All current challenges: Our rankings are unchanged from Sunday, December 10 (post #102).

Per-user stats: See our free-dc WCG page.

Decrypthon is still consistently pulling away from us by about 5k worth of results each day. Still fancy havng 3rd in "by-results challenge"?

@StefanR5R Thanks for your efforts on the stats collection; I wonder if you by chance have the Xmas 2017 challenge XML data files from start ? I have just finished a similar effort for my team (disclaimer: the one with the H in the name ) but due to business trip was not able to collect the files from start.

All current challenges: Our rankings are unchanged from Sunday, December 10 (post #102).

Per-user stats: See our free-dc WCG page.

Decrypthon is still consistently pulling away from us by about 5k worth of results each day. Still fancy havng 3rd in "by-results challenge"?

I just added GPUs to F@H and moved CPUs to WCG. Let's see how this improves our chances. Sunday stats (available on Monday) will include 1/2 day from my dual-socket hosts.

@StefanR5RI wonder if you by chance have the Xmas 2017 challenge XML data files from start ?

I don't pull via RPC, I just copy&paste from the web page into a spreadsheet. (Then I compute daily diff and moving average, and dump into a text file for copy&paste into the forum.) But you can have the above table, expanded onto all days plus 3 pre-race days for my early average calculation, as tab-separated plain text: https://pastebin.com/raw/A8V75JYu
(Re-importing this into LibreOffice Calc directly per copy&paste from the web browser doesn't work for me; but copy&paste into kwrite, then copy&paste into LO Calc works. Or save link as file, then open in LO Calc, and select only Tab as separator in the import dialogue.)

--------
During the next few days I may be very late to post stats.

@ChristianVirtual,

For whatever reason I got twice the same scores delivered (but different timestamp).

The challenge web page says "Statistics Last Updated: 12/xx/17 23:59:59 (UTC)" shortly after WCG's 00:00 UTC general stats update, but is then still showing data from the end of day xx - 1. Only shortly after WCG's 12:00 UTC update, the page really shows data from the end of day xx.

IOW, challenge stats (at least those on the web page) are updated only once a day, at 12:00 UTC = with 1/2 day delay. During this delay, the "last updated" timestamp shown is a lie.

It's possible that RPC stats requests are affected the same way.

Thanks, that confirm what I saw withn the time stamp and had to change my import scripts ; I read the xml file now every six hours ; in case the fingerprint is changed I process; else ignore.

All current challenges: Our rankings are unchanged from Sunday, December 10 (post #102). We almost match Decrypthon's results/day rate again, and should exceed it tomorrow, with a chance to climb back onto 3rd rank at "Dec 2017 By-results All-projects" eventually.*

Per-user stats: See our free-dc WCG page.

*) Edit, the latest team stats update shows us at 13 k results on December 18, which is not yet enough compared to their average of 12 k results per day.

All current challenges: Our rankings are unchanged from Sunday, December 10 (post #102).

Per-user stats: See our free-dc WCG page.

So, what's the consensus here? Is our position safe enough to convert cpu resources into F@H?

I'll switch my dual-socket hosts to F@H in a bit. The two run time based races, Dec 2017 By-time All-projects and The Dollars Run 1217, need to be watched though. Current standing: 47.0 years, versus 39.4 years (84 %) by the next best team.

 

[ao_ika_red]

Okay then. I'll be stationed in WCG. I managed to revive another died laptop with Ubuntu on-the-go. It's dual core Ivy Bridge's celeron and have similar performance with the Core2Duo.

 

[StefanR5R]

Due to how Folding@Home gives credit, putting anything less than 32 threads per slot towards F@H would be a massive waste. My 56T and 64T slots are a waste too, but on a barely acceptable level given the current competition.

 

[Howdy]

I put some cores back on WCG since PG is finished............I kind of slacked on this one

 

[crashtech]

I've put some low core count CPUs back on this, finally realizing they are nearly useless at F@H.

Hey is that 3930k working for you yet ?

Hey is that 3930k working for you yet ?

Indeed it is, and I just put it back on WCG, where it can do some real good. Thanks again!

How useless is it? Stefan already warned me, but I'm a bit stubborn. Maybe you can convince me to not use them on F@H.

Well, they will earn points, but for me it eventually comes down to efficient resource allocation. CPUs generally can do more science per watt with apps like WCG than they can with F@H. But, if one happens to have some high core-count machines, then they can act in concert to finish F@H WUs quickly enough to justify their use during a contest, since there is extra credit for finishing quickly.

I really don't know enough about the subject to be doing any convincing on way or the other, though. Every bit counts as long as it's used on a project!

How useless is it? Stefan already warned me, but I'm a bit stubborn. Maybe you can convince me to not use them on F@H.

Until I had my $600 electric bill, I had all more cores on WCG and all my video cards on F@H. Now I only have a small number of cores on WCG due to money, but F@H to me is too important, so I added my CPU cores from my threadrippers to it, 200k each.

If a Threadripper only able to churn about 200k ppd, I don't think this Celeron and Athlon will do any damage. Thanks for the heads-up.

The quick return bonus really makes up a considerable part of the overall credit that you get from F@H.

Compared to @Markfw's 200 k PPD per Threadripper (I guess with 30 threads allocated to the CPU slot, and running a tad below 4 GHz?), I get merely 120...130 k PPD from a 32T slot on E5-2696v4 @2.6 GHz (all-core AVX turbo) on Windows. As you can see, PPD is disproportional to thread count × clock.

Dual E5-2690v4:

320...430 k PPD / (56 * 2.9 GHz) = 2.0...2.5 k PPD / (thread * GHz)​

Threadripper:

200 k PPD / (30 * 3.8...3.9 GHz) = 1.75...1.7 k PPD / (thread * GHz)​

E5-2696v4 with Windows-specific 32T slot limit:

120...130 k PPD / (32 * 2.6 GHz) = 1.45...1.55 k PPD / (thread * GHz)​

This ratio will tank dramatically for processors which are even further away from Threadripper's thread count and clock.

The only other DC project that I know of which rewards quicker hosts is GPUGrid. But their reward system is simpler.
