Bonkers! When will they decide on expanded badges like PG just did?

Ah, man, I missed this somehow! Sorry, but I guess late congrats is better than none at all, right? :D :o Awesome job and thanks for getting S.USA back in the ring with the good ol' ONE - TWO combo from Steve and yourself! Amazing feat in such short order, really.

Re: Badge Thread Only !!!
I need 8 more apps for my 5th star. got 4 of them running now and I should be able to get two more from the collatz gpu apps, guess I could try for a Primegrid Genefer World Record but I don't really want to do one of those..

Re: Badge Thread Only !!!
Congrats to all 3 of you!

I just upgraded all my silver PG badges to gold. The only badges for PG under gold are dead sub-projects.
(TRP will turn gold the next time banner refreshes)

Nice work Zombie, I am slowly working on my silvers that are still attainable.

Re: Badge Thread Only !!!
Thanks. Now is a good time to push for PG badges. They are offering credit bonuses for some sub-projects. Not sure how long that will last.
-
Re: Badge Thread Only !!!
I read on there that Prime Grid did that because most crunchers prefer short runs. The sub projects with those credit bonuses have real long CPU runs. Some take days to complete. Some may take a week on older machines. I ran one of those Generalized fermat prime search tasks(GFR) on the GPU and it took 58 hours to complete on my very lowly video card(GT 630). The credit was 29,000 for just the one work unit and without any bonus. it was enough for the bronze badge(20K) :> Very kool.
That "17 or bust" sub project has a 50% credit bonus right now but it also says the average time to complete is 205 hours. Translated that might mean 350 hours on an older machine.
Either way, the credit will be nice on that one. Other sub projects have 10%, 20% and one has a 35% credit bonus.

The GenferWR WU's are bonkers long on less then superman GPU's. I am constantly pushing on PG, but it seems like the machines with GPU's that get loaded up on GFN and PPS SV WU's, rarely get any CPU WU's from the other sub-projects.
Side note: finally got my Attachment 1494 badge. Go phones go!

FWIW, this is what they do on my iMac with a GTX 680MX (this is a mobile GPU):
Genefer (regular): ~19.5 hours, pays 29,333, or 1504 c/h
Genefer (world record): ~220.5 hours (~9.2 days), pays 556,725, or 2525 c/h
(just for comparison, on a TITAN, the WR take about 89 hours)
Both use very little CPU, no reserving of threads needed, and both checkpoint. So if you are going to run Genefer, choose the WR kind. Both types of credits go to the same badge. The only reason to crunch the shorter one is if you need hours against another app for wuprop stars.

Thank you zombie, I guess I will reselect the WR WU's. I think I have a tendency to micromanage when the GPU's are doing mega length WU's and the RAC takes a strong dip down. Then again, the regular GFN WU's on my GT 430, take 640,549.05 seconds (~ 7.5 days), so the WR GFN's are an eternity.

Very cool! So now that just means recycling all those projects through your CPUs until they all turn blue, right? :D

Well, sort of. Some were extremely difficult to even get to 100 hours. Some apps have been changed and no longer have wus. In theory, you are correct, but I'm sure it won't work that way in practice.

Re: Badge Thread Only !!!
It just got a lot more challenging to get the top stars in wuprop - http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/badges.php
-
Re: Badge Thread Only !!!
Finally! Looks like the preferences page list is already updated, but not yet the badges. I will change from 5x blue to 1x magenta and 4x blue when that happens.
Also good news, it looks like he is still considering a second badge with more stars. Currently, I have enough for an additional red, gold and bronze stars (8 stars in total).
-
Re: Badge Thread Only !!!
Sebastien was kind enough to send me a zip of all the new badges, so they should be ready to go as soon as he updates the xml to contain the new levels :)
-
Re: Badge Thread Only !!!
And now my badge has been updated, at least on the project site.

Only 1,142 years of crunching. I might get this before my 100th birthday. Assuming they start making procesors with hundreds of cores.
