Einstein Challenge

We are on 9th on Einstein challenge that is not good or we go or we don't go. 9th is not for us.

I will be there till it ends.

Little help on Einstein. Go team Go.

Ugh completely forgot about this one... slowly ramping up although im leaving the poem box alone took me forever to get that thing working... :p

[Mike029]

I too will not touch a Poem box. But perhaps I have a core or two to spare. :p

I am in with a few low end gpus.

[Duke of Buckingham]

Nice that you are coming because all my GPU tasks are pending.

I haven't run Einstein is ages. Is there anything I should know. Optimized apps for the gpus perhaps? I have 3 gt 430s running right now my big guns are on Poem and other goals right now. If needed I can bring a my 560ti 2 win into the fray...

The most important thing is in computation preferences on BOINC manager change the use of the processors from 100 to 99%.

Maybe if we had an app to run with Einstein we could run two tasks at the same time using more GPU and have a better use of the CPU also.

With that the change of the use of the processor wouldn't be needed and maybe we could gain some performance on Einstein.

Can any of you make one for us, please...

You don't need an app_info. In the website preferences, change the GPU Utilization Factor from 1 (default) to 0.5. That's it.

I'm running 2 each on all my ati gpus, which are all ending up in pending. I think nv cards are faster, but all mine are staying on Poem.

Thanks I will try that.

Finally, some of mine are starting to validate. Jumped from 500th place to 57th.

[Duke of Buckingham]

Well not my way of seeing it, all the 17 WUs pending. Damn Einstein. I should have at least 8K now. I thing I will be back to POEM sooner.

This way we could make millions and be in last at the challenge. 8K made and ZERO points done...

Don't dispair. This is just like with the SIMAP challenges, that require a quorum to validate. Even if our opponents are bunkering, they will eventually have to turn them in, in order to get their own credits.

I want dispair (much).

I will do some POEM about 20 tasks to decompress (about 5 hours), only to change my mood.

[Al]

The initial upload appeared to have tested their validator. Last night there were 21000 waiting for validation. Last I looked that number had dropped to 16000, so they are catching up.

[Duke of Buckingham]

Thanks Al and Z. I am trying to change all my tasks once the wingman was from Sici. I will try new tasks with new wingmen to see if they validate.

I will do only GPU at Einstein and will try another project at CPU, CPU tasks are very long to crunch.

[Rattledagger]

Forgot about this challenge. :o

Will run Einstein@home for roughly 48 hours on my two GPU's.
