About 3 years ago? I dont remember, sici is just a blurr...hehehehehhehe
Crunch on!
I brought up hydra on NFS s.usa team, since someone entered the team, and my name under pirates...
Bringing back memories of the bad times on the muskeeters... If one remembers...
I wont say anything more, because their are a few teammates here, that told lies, that had me kicked out of Musketeers, and they know whom they are.
I dont like bad times, only good times.. Tis a volunteer outfit yah know...
Thats my thoughts, thank you for listening.

Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
Maybe I'll run for TSBT and hand you all your pirate hats. :) :ar!
-
Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
If you're not going to run for SETI.USA, run for Anguillan Pirates. That's Alez's team.
You can crunch under your proper Pirate name if you wish...http://www.piratequiz.com/

Maybe you should run the 14e and 15e applications and we run the 16e ones.
How they are paid:
14e - 36 points
15e - 44 points
16e - 130 points

Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
I will participate as a Scott.
But I will need help. This project is screwed up WRT names.
The name of the (3) apps is different from the name of the (4) names of the projects in the preferences, which is different from the (3) badges. Seriously! How can they have messed this up so bad?
So! I want to work on only my 14e and 15e badges. What are the pref settings for that?

Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
Set
lasieved - app for RSALS subproject, uses less than 0.5 GB memory: yes
lasievee - work nearly always available, uses up to 0.5 GB memory: yes
lasievef - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: no
lasieve5f - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: no
lasieved=14e
lasievee=15e
lasievef=not used anymore
lasieve5f=16e

We're all over on the Anguillan Pirates team. That's Alez's team he uses for test projects and such. We're crunching there since that team issued the challenge. That and ...well...pirates get more booty.

Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
More than 1M 15e and 14e wus are ready to be queued. Let's see how the challenge goes. For 16e we can easily go up to 2M wus.
-
Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
Team changed to Anguillan Pirates. Apps selected for 14e and 15e. Someone send out a reminder in a day or so.

Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
I put my row boat into the water. There won't be much of a bunker from me.
-
Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
Okay, my machines have been moved over to NFS for the duration. No bunkering.

Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
It looks like I have a ship taking on water already. BoincTasks is showing the CPU ratio on my laptop is in the red; it's also showing that the completion time on the 15e and 16e at 60, 108 and 323 days. This laptop has 6GB of RAM and I talked with dcushing this morning and he said it may not be enough but I thought I would give it a try. My other rigs have 8GB and 16GB and those are running fine.
The 14e's on the laptop are also in the red but they are running at 3 hours each. I was considering putting in the cc_config to run the 14e app only but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.
Should I continue to run the 14e's or should I take this ship out of the fray... What say you all?

Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
The 16e WUs require up to 1GB RAM. If your system doesn't have enough physical memory, it will use virtual memory (paging memory in and out of RAM and onto disk) which is horribly slow. If you don't have enough RAM, run the 15e and 14e WUs. They only require up to .5GB RAM. If you want more credit, run 15e as they pay better than the 14e. If you want badges, run both.

-or-
Since the 16e pay 3-4X the 14/15e WU then you can reduce the number of threads running 16e so it fits into your available memory. You'll get more credits that way :D

I thought I had 6GB on this thing... I actually have 8GB and only 56% is being used. I killed GoofyGrid and WUProp and that cleared up 6 of the 8 threads. I still have 2 threads running in the red for some reason; however, it's no longer showing ridiculous completion times. Even the 16e say they'll complete in 2.5 hours... so we'll see.
I'm just running NFS for the challenge but I will be more that happy to take any credit or badges I gain. :D
-
Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
I have seen the problem with GoofyGrid in the past. wuprop is not contributing to the problem, so turn it back on.

Will do... Thanks.

Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
There are 2 very fast movers from GridCoin. Neuraminer is doing 30k/hr and the UofS is at 22k. The 1st one will definitely take the top spot and the 2nd one will be right on top of Scole at the end ... hard to predict how that one will finish.
Teamwise, it looks like Gridcoin is running about equal to our output so they will have a hard time overcoming our lead.
@Pete, nice run there :D

Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
With PG dev shut dow, I am back 100% on this now.

Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
Late start due to star chasing, but I am up to 11th place. Not bad! :) I think that is as high as I will go, as everyone above me is crunching at a higher rate.
Can anyone get the comparison graphs to work?
Also, do we have this in the bag already? I have no problem continuing to crunch it. But if it's not needed, I could be working on other goals.

Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
Nope. I am a member of Anguillan Pirates for this. I am in 11th place.

Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
I have added 600k, and am off to work on some other urgent projects. If we get close to losing or something, let me know and I will be back.
-
Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
We all appreciate everyone's help. I think it's funny as heck for a little obscure team smack down the borg.
-
Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
A little obscure team, throwing down a wonderful party for their visiting friends. :D
-
Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
A router stopped routing. Hope to replace it on Saturday . . . . there should be 3 days of wus by then.
-
Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
We need to step it up a might. At the current rate (90k vs 45k / hour) GC will overtake us.
-
Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
I was just looking at it and noticed the same thing. They gained about 700K in the last 16 hours and they still have 60 hours to make up the remaining 2.6 Mil deficit. Easily doable.
-
Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
Okay, I will be back by the end of the day.
-
Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
I'm back on it for what little its worth. Haha.
-
Re: NFS@home Challenge Need Fast Ships
My bad... I thought we had this in the bag so I switched over to a pet project. I have everything back on NFS.
Is there anyway to get a hold of the people here that are running NFS and have them join the Anguillan Pirates for the next couple of days?
i.e. Haunted Forest, Enrique Arratia, Carlos Pinho [TSBTs Pirate],...
