Soon SETI.Germany.
SETI.USA can easily climb until 6th, it's in our range, but the the gap to 5th place is sooo huge.

Come on, let's crunch for NFS@Home!

Come on, let's crunch for NFS@Home!

We will go there in time Carlos. Is not so huge as it seems. We are SETI USA and together we will accomplish amazing things even that gap.

After all we have the amazing Mumps, the incredible Zombie and the unbelievable Seti USA team that will defeat that gap in a flash if it wants to.

As always, time is on our side. Time and good friends against that gap. I don't think the gap will win. :D

In fact the gap suddenly seems so small.

Meanwhile we already passed SETI.Germany and we are just behind BOINC@Taiwan. Then it will be Russia.

Congratulations to all that are crunching the project and make our daily credit grow again. I have been seeing the team position on the project everyday and I am following it with the biggest attention. Thanks Mumps for your BIG help and Carlos you have that kind of passion about factorization that we must admire. You are decided and the proof that loving something is the best engine, it is so good that you are having some team mates with you. and you will have more and more sooner than you think.

Thank you very much to all that are helping. I will be with you after simap challenge. I don't know why but I think we are going higher on this project also. So Thanks to Mumps [MM], Carlos Pinho, denim, Mike029.SETI.USA [BlackOps], Steve, PJS, ChessNut and Dusso Janladde. SETI USA on his way to the first position and why not on this project also.:D

OK, I've finally created an account on NFS so I will do some work until SIMAP starts but I will do more afterwards.

Thank you for joining. To get the most of NFS@Home please choose the lasievef or lasieve5f application at http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/prefs.php?subset=project. 1GB per thread is needed. Linux is a must.

For a big amount of reasons NFS is not compatible to run with Poem at least for me, so I will run NFS till Poem challenge start and will return to the project later Carlos.

I need some hours to finish some old tasks but will be there tonight.

Ricardo, maybe it's related to the application used. How much memory Poem tasks use?

Duke of Buckingham
10-08-12, 08:16 AM
No Carlos it is not. It is because I have not enough cores to run both and running only one task with one core is not good because it uses only about 40% of the GPU and it is a real waste.

My other computer had a problem with the on/off switch and now the internal "spring" of the switch (mola do interruptor) simply doesn't force the switch out that was since Saturday and I am going to try to fix it today if I have time. So the computer starts and forces the shut down immediately.

Let us try to help Carlos for a small time on NFS. The ones among you that can help on this project give a small help for us to gain this two positions and get closer to Sicituradastra. I know about Poem but the ones among you that have cores available please give a small help.

Thank you for your help.

Carlos how can we make more points at NFS? Sorry I didn't understood very well this explanation about all those letters on NFS tasks. Tell us about the points we are credit addicted. Some of us are ...

To get the most credits you need at least 1GB per core/thread available.
Then go to http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/prefs.php?subset=project and set up the clients like this:

Run only the selected applications
lasieved - app for RSALS subproject, uses less than 0.5 GB memory: no (36 points per wu)
lasievee - work nearly always available, uses up to 0.5 GB memory: no (44 points per wu)
lasievef - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: yes (65 points per wu)
lasieve5f - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: no (65 points per wu)

Offtopic: just looked at Top Host stats and my old GenuineIntelIntel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz is ranked 15th by daily average. Another week and I am in top 10. Hehe.

I have my lappy on it as well. Any free cores are for NFS.

Keep the faith Carlos. We will get to hit this project hard in the near future. :cool:

Russia is out, next L'Alliance Francophone.

pinhodecarlos
10-20-12, 05:00 AM
6 days left to catch L'Alliance Francophone. I moved my machine from 16e siever to 16e V5 siever. I think the wu's are faster to process so I will get more points, ~1,000 more. Within 1-1.5 days I will have the answer because my queue is 200 wu's, 160 so far queued with 16e V5 wu's, 40 left to process (6 hours). I just hope 1.3GB/core is enough to run these V5 wu's on an Ubuntu VM, if not I will have to increase to 6 GB the memory available to Ubuntu VM.

pinhodecarlos
10-22-12, 04:33 AM
Yesterday was my first day running full 16e V5 wu's and managed to go up to 12k points, more 800 points instead of the 1000 I was expecting, not bad?!
We are almost getting the French, then a long slowly way until Sicituradastra. Already tried to convince Ben ( bdodson*) to move to us but I didn't get a reply from him yet. The good news is that he hasn't got anymore the computer labs available to run BOINC so it is not expected any kind of reaction from Sic team.

Nice Mumps, without Free-DC I am lost on the team output. I should have noticed. Congratulations to all the team but most of all to you Mumps as Mike said you are amazing.

I'm back to sieve, let's try to reach Sic team shall we?
BTW, here's the log file of my post-processing run so that SETI.USA members can understand how long can take an integer to post-process. It was done on Win 7 core i5 750 @3.4 GHz 8 GB , I don't earn BOINC points.
1191

The filtering phase is done under one core (RelProcTime: 5391 secs), linear algebra phase in all cores (4, BLanczosTime: 1105618 secs) and finally the square toot phase one core only (sqrtTime: 17118 secs).
If I had all cores running 16e V5 siever (BOINC) for the same amount of time as the post-processing, taking into consideration that no cores are idle as in filtering and square root phases, this run would get me something like 163.6k BOINC points.
So far I have made at NFS@Home an equivalent of 400k BOINC points with post-processing.

Yesterday took a few minutes of the day to be where my remote machine is and decided to clean the dust out of it. Now it is going faster than ever, at least I notice on NFS@Home wu's a slice speed increase.

Also just started to prepare my new journey, my new life...the good news is that, where I am going to, the electricity is cheaper than where I am now, I suppose half the price. Hydroelectric power instead of coal power, more renewable.
It's sad but it will be last Christmas I will be passing with all my family...that hurts.

Hope when you get settled, we can revisit this and throw some more power at it! Haven't been involved in a real stomping for a while, except for SIMAP. Bad time of year at work and holiday crap. We have a presentation we need to do for the company exec's and of course our annual Inventory and then the holidays and for the beggining of the year, we have Audits for different projects. This makes my brain explode this time of year.:mad: Stay in touch if you can and maybe we can crush this thing!

Our country is getting worst at everyday and we are all struggling not to drown on this big confusion. If I was younger I would go to another country also.

To be present to our family and friends as nothing to do with distance, we can live the next door without speaking or half a world distance without ever being a stranger. The only thing that distance makes is for us to see our determination of sticking together.

But I know what cost me when I had to go to Brazil at the age of 28 some 27 years ago. Now I have friends on both sides of the Atlantic and when I am on one side a bit of my heart is in the other.

I hope you can find the place you deserve on this earth on a country that needs you and can appreciate your skills.

It is with hope on a better future that I am telling you this, if we hadn't hope what would be of us?

Ricardo, I don't have faith in our country anymore. Lost my hope on finding a job...my last cards played will or not have affect in this month of December as a scholarship student at university or as a PhD student. Anyway, already paid for an exam in Brazil to apply for a public job and it is schedule to mid January 2013. I will be dormant but I will be back stronger than ever on crunching.

For here the guys to understand I live in Portugal, a country where when you age 30's you are too old to work. If you have three high degree's it means you have lots of qualification to work....that's the issue in Portugal, a country of tourism and services. Industry is dying due to old European standards agreed by our politicians. Portugal is dying, people are getting very poor. Children when born are left on hospitals because these parents can't fed them due to lack of money.... because meanwhile they lost their jobs...it's very sad. I feel angry, revolted with my country. What we earn is to pay taxes, to pay the bills, nothing is left to invest in your country like going to a movie, restaurant, etc...We don't circulate money, we try to save the least.

I wish I was a sniper...lol

Brazil is a great country and you will be very happy there. I am so sure of that. They are very nice people. Speak what you want that I can only agree with you, sometimes I have the same ideas as you do. They destroyed our country completely.

Don't be a stranger Brazil as more computation power and better Internet that you can imagine and Brazil IS BIG, in all senses. I have a brother living there as you know and 5 of my 7 ex-wives are Brazilians.

Man I was very happy there and sometimes I wish I hadn't returned but I will fight for my country now. It is your turn to be happy in Brazil.

:p Simap is being a long run before I was in the teAm. The huge amount of effort on simap could have a better profit if in other projects, including NFS but things were not like that, on the other hand a lot of our friends came for the crunching on this project. :)

Have a nice trip and try to enjoy BRAZIL as it should be enjoyed. One of the biggest countries with a huge potential. I am already sorry for not have stayed in Brazil.

Brazil is so huge there are different countries according to each taste. There is a different Brazil for each person. Mega cities, Big cities, cities, Small cities or Country region.

The music is amazing, the people is amazing, in a small time you will find a community that fits you better. Rio de Janeiro is a beautiful place, the city and the state, stay safe and enjoy the search of a new life, a better one.

I will make a BRASIL video before you go.

We are not doing much crunching at this project and we need to do some more, (me myself I) included. So many projects and so small crunching power.

It is a pity because the project pays quite well for a CPU project and we could have a better position on it. Let us try to speak about it a bit more and have some pressure in order for keep it in mind and make it more attractive to some team mates more connected with math.

You'll get it back. I'm totally shut down until tomorrow while I reconfigure my boxes...and straighten out all the issues that creates. I'll be along soon.

With machines with more than 1.3 GB per thread you should only run the 16e applications because it where you have more credit per wu, 65.
So you can go here

http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/prefs.php?subset=project

and set config like this:

lasieved - app for RSALS subproject, uses less than 0.5 GB memory: no
lasievee - work nearly always available, uses up to 0.5 GB memory: no
lasievef - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: yes
lasieve5f - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: yes

Also in global settings at "http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/prefs.php?subset=global" set

Swap space: use at most: 98% of total
Memory: when computer is in use, use at most: 100% of total
Memory: when computer is not in use, use at most: 100% of total

We are still losing about 15 to 16K for today to LAF but we as them are speeding up and some team mates are now entering the battle. Most of them were already there that counts a lot.

We need you, as fast as you can be ready, STE\/E crunching day gave us a burst and we are now on a better position to strike back. The difference between teams is 238,473 at this moment.

Thanks Artemis, we are needing a bit more firepower but we bit LAF today for the first time and our daily production is improving, in spite we are only 12 or 13 depending the day.

Unfortunately I have some very big tasks to finish so one of my cores is devoted to that, I have one Primegrid Genefer that have 60 hours of crunching and will need about 180 hours to finish, I am more or lees in the middle of the crunching of another RNA XXL long so I have one core at least compromised for 10 days but I can not throw 120Hours of crunching to trash. :mad:

Thanks to all that are helping, next I will post our stats for the 25th of March.

Hugging is natural, organic, naturally sweet, free of pesticides and
Preservatives. Hugging contains no artificial ingredients. It's
100% wholesome. No calories, no caffeine, no nicotine.
It's inflation-proof. It's nonfattening. There are no monthly payments.
No insurance requirements.
It's theft-proof, nontaxable, nonpolluting,
And fully refundable. And it costs very little.
Hugging is healthy. It assists the body's immune system, it cures depression,
It reduces stress, it induces sleep, it invigorates, and it rejuvenates,
And it has no unpleasant side-effects.
Hugging is no less than a miracle drug.
Adults love to hug babies and they do it as often as possible. Adults
Love to hug other adults, too, yet they seldom do. The reason for this
Is surprisingly simple ... adults are not afraid to initiate and enjoy
Hugging with infants because there's little chance of rejection.
Hugs can be given to anyone. Any place. Any time.
Hugs are free ... perhaps that's why so many take them for granted.
If hugs cost a lot of money, people would probably knock
Themselves out to make enough to buy them.
Although hugs are free, they're worthless if they aren't used. An
Unused hug is lost forever. On a planet that's starved for affection,
Can we really afford to lose a single hug?
For those who aren't always comfortable with the traditional hug,
You should at least try one of the other following forms of Hugs:

A kind word.
A touch.
A loving smile.
A "Thank you!"
A "Forgive me."
A "Can I help you?"
A "I'm Sorry."
And anything else you can do to make a person
Feel good about him or herself.

Never hug tomorrow someone you could hug today.

@Duke - well, we'll see how big of a dent we can put in the difference over a few days anyway. :) The thing is, 85% of LA'F output on NFS is by ONE cruncher. So he/she is very dedicated to this project and has quite a high output - must represent at least 60 to 80 cores dedicated to this project alone, I would think.:confused:

But we will have fun trying anyway! ;)

speaking of that one guy, [AF>Libristes] Dilandau, he can do some serious damage. According to Free-DC this guy can push out over 100K a day on NFS when he/she chooses to. Not sure we can ever make any headway against him.

[QUOTE=Fire$torm;57737...this guy can push out over 100K a day on NFS when he/she chooses...

Understood. So that means a general use of ~60+ cores, with "occasional / on demand?" access to at least 180 cores.
So with that in mind, Duke, I believe anything is possible, trust me, I have faith otherwise I wouldn't be here. But on a realistic level, we're not going to make much sustained headway against this dude.

We'll have a fun time seeing how much we can gain for a bit though. :)

@Artemis - The cores are kind of sporadic and spastic going this way and that way having acquired many of the characteristics of the builder, not to mention the sometimes uncontrollable nature of the software.

@DrPop – surely you remember . . . the picture is of a Third World Computer which was to use a wind-up crank, a pedal or a lawn-mower-style ripcord to generate power . . . probably not real good for crunching 24/7. Guess the current thinking is to send out solar powered iPads to Third World countries . . . still not so good for crunching.

SETI.USA is almost daily averaging 1M points so we are on route to catch 5th place overall. I suppose by the end of the two challenges SETI.USA will be closer to Sic Team.

Well, I'm swinging back towards 16e and 16e V5 so we'll pick up a bit more steam again. :)

I think they should talk to their members about 'aborting' tasks when that member possibly moves to a different project. :rolleyes:

I am just saying!

Sweet, thanks Mumps! What a killer pair of challenges, that was some serious NFS output.:o

I'm going to try to bring my two dead boxes alive so that I can run NFS@Home. Still waiting for my laptop. I hope by the end of the week to have three linux machines running NFS@Home so that I can join the hunt for Sic team.

I will return to NFS to get the 4th place with you.

Man that is the time I much regret for not having enough computation power. 4 days to catch the 4th place, thanks to all that can and are crunching hard for the team, I will be with you in a couple of days, just to finish helping on Sat and I will be back.

Impressive team effort, I have never seen nothing like that and Mumps as our team standard-bearer thanks, many of them are not enough for you, what a show.

What a team.

And we passed Team Sicituradastra.

And not stopping either. With my goal, I'll get us to third place, but will need others to keep chipping in if we're hoping to make it to second.

I've been on NFS every day since 2009. ;) At this pace, it says we could take over #1 in 50 days!!!

For the records to achieve 100M would be a must and as a team the first one to do it.
I think we all together can go up to first place within 30 days but we need to run the 16e and 16e V5 wu's to get the most of the credits.
I need to know what the team thinks because I have in mind another post-processing job to run for NFS@Home after I am done with my current one, less than 5 days. If we as a team decide to go hard on this I will install VM+Ubuntu on Windows and help with ~12k points per day. Lost two boxes only running with a laptop.

On the other hand if people can't run the 16e's applications and only the 14e and 15e ones my laptop will be needed to help to clean the post-processing jobs. lol

This future discussion should be passed to a private section. Also we should think of calling The Musketeers.

I am very happy we are going so well on NFS. I am also sad for not being crunching with you my computer problem is much more than I thought at least for me.

As a long time NFS steady, I am just happy to see more of our team putting some heat on this project as it seemed to always be overlooked due to MW CPU or other slightly higher paying projects got the nod.

Now that the Pentathlon is completed shall we go back here to go for first place? Windows users have now available the 64-bit version of the sievers so this means 50-100 % more points. We have a bunch of 14 and 15e tasks to be done but for now for the stats anyone that can run 16e and 16e V5 applications will gain more points.
If we get closer to 1st spot teams, Team Norway and Ars Technica, they will get their power in because they are trying to keep the dc-vault positions.

I'll be running a few cores for us Carlos. Count me in..

Also it would be nice to see SETI.USA team as the first one to reach 100M. Just hope the two top teams will let us, if not it would be a hell of a fight.

For the moment I have all cores on this project. I will some off to other things soon but at least one box will stay put.

Hi Carlos,
Does the new 64 bit version of the sievers download and run automatically, or do I need to do a project reset or anything on my end to use the new, faster one? This is on an AMD X6 rig w/ Win7 x64. Thanks!

Yes, it will download and run automatically but they will not work on AMD X6 processors. See thread: http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/forum_thread.php?id=426

OK I threw a quad CPU at it, actually it's Dr Pops old Quad, but anyway it's running NFS now. I'm still cleaning up WU's on the other one. I think we can be #1 in this project if we want it. :cool:

You know I am on it. ;) Shame as at the moment, I only have one Intel 64-bit machine going.
