DistRTgen: First ever project challenge

[RSS]

I am pleased to announce that we will be hosting our first project challenge!Rainbow Resurrection: 2012-04-07 16:00:00 GMT - 2012-04-10 16:00:00 GMTThis 72 hour challenge will feature Primegrid style user and team statistics and only work handed out after the start time and return before the completion time will be counted. In addition all WUs that are part of the challenge will receive 1.25x the credit that is received ordinarily.The reason for this challenge is two fold:1) The new hardware has been performing excellently and is averaging less than 20% utilization2) An ATI/OpenCL app version is in early alpha stages and this challenge will be helpful in seeing if we can handle full 24/7 CPU+GPU where ATI will be added in the future.

1.25 x credit!

Sounds like a must!

Oh yeah, I soooooo in.

Edit: Also, I didn't realize they had an ATI app! Trying it out now!

Robert, from PNT, says his 7970 gets 1.1M per day on the new ATI app!!!! Pays much better than Donate.

Sweet!!! Let me know if you can get it working and if it will work on a 5870

[zombie67]

580 does a task in about 1300 seconds.
7970 does a task in 530 sec.
5870: First task has a validate error.

Where is the discussion for this on the distrrtgen forum? I can't find it.

My 7970's are taking 510 - 520 Seconds to run the ATI Wu's ...

Well, I rebooted the box, and returned a valid task. Still 12.3. So I went back home, checked in via VPN, and it's locked up again. Grrrrr. I think it is happening when it suspends a task, to work on another project's task. I'll have to work on it some more on Monday.

FWIW, it took 2940 seconds.

My 7970 is taking 520-530 sec. No OC, I think.

Mine are running at 1120-1125 Core speed so yours would almost have to be Overclocked ? to run at almost the same speed as mine unless they came at 1120-1125 Core Speed from the Factory ... Or it could be the Wu's just run that long no matter what speed the GPU's are running at , have no idea about that though ...
