@somanyroads: Nope this is as good a place as any since it is related. As to an answer? Sorry but I haven't a clue.
@Everyone:
This is a friendly admin notice. I am sending out the team mass email for the Sept. SIMAP challenge and included a call to arms for the RSA project. Hopefully we should see additional members on this project soon.
F$
Somebody talk to me here...I just got the email and will check back in the morning. Should I move the hydra heads over to this lattice? I see someone made a Hydra account there so I'll do it if you think we have a shot for the team.
@Trigggl - my man, throw that hydra head on your own account and make a run for 100K! Never know until you try and I know you want the 100K in the end...

@DrPop, I DO think we have a real shot at top spot. I say go for it. \m/
There are other projects like ECM@yoyo showing affinity for AMD. This can easily sum up to a nice difference. Anyhow, will make my tiny cores look even more pale. ;)

No clue why this is, but I am just having one rig validating more or less safely. Another validated 3 out of 20, the 2600k finally did not validate at all. :-s Since I am at safe clocks, my guess is some interference with OpenCL...
So I am down to two cores atm. Sorry guys. :-< Hope you got more luck. %%-
I had problems validating and made a reset and have all fixed now.
Don't know why, but my Hydra head hasn't validated anything recently. I don't think it's an OpenCL problem. One of my boxes is validating just fine while also running Poem. Maybe it's specific task groups? I'm testing that theory right now by suspending all tasks from failing task groups. It's hard to know what's validating successfully, since they don't bother to keep the validated records beyond a couple minutes.Quote:

We will pass the French tonight and move into 3rd. 36 hours after that we should be in 2nd with about 5 to 8 days to take number one. More machines the faster we do this. =:)
Worked like a charm. All are validating as it should. No more errors.
Nice Mike french kissing all the night. Yeha after french kissing we can move to the third base. Abortion can fix some problems but I am against.Quote:

Huh... Wonder what's up with the RSS Feed for news...
So it looks like it should be 14 days or so left...Quote:

SG just woke up. Their RAC went from 2K to 20K in less than a day. I don't think they liked it that both Sic and us passed them by. This could get real interesting. Their big guns have their computers hidden, so it is hard to tell what they can do. [SG-FC] hl can do 75K per day on SETI which also uses CreditNew and just moved to RSA. We have about the same number (23 vs 25) cruncing on RSA now, so only time will tell.
Watch your overclocked machines! I had to back off on my i7 as it was getting errors. Dropped from 20% top 5% OC. Hopefully that is enough. Will know for sure in an hour or two. Thankfully, RSA keeps the invalids and errors around for a little while so while you can't see the valid WUs, you can at least see the invalid ones.
I can't get any WU's for my lappy from RSA for some reason. Just got about 20 for simap so no clue why RSA is ignoring me. :confused:
I think that is due to the wonderful changes made to the scheduler in recent BOINC versions. Isn't it great? When I questioned how it worked on the boinc mailing list, I was told that it works as designed. Suspending a project won't help and you can't reset the debts any more either. So long as BOINC thinks you have enough work in your cache and/or wants work from another project it is very hard to get work. My solution was to set all other projects to no new tasks, abort all the tasks from all other projects, do an update on each and wait for them to all clear, and then suspend the other projects. I also boosted the priority at RSA to 900. Only then would some of my boxes grab RSA work. However, when they finally grabbed work, they grabbed so much that many are still running the WUs in high priority mode - and it has been several days now. Almost makes a guy go back to an early 6.10.x version of BOINC...Quote:

I got the email and I'll help out too. I hope we can make number 1!
Thanks guys. Awesome to see you and Fogle helping on this push. :cool:Quote:

A quick update post and a shout out to Carlos Pinho who pm'd me some additional info on the project. You can see his post and the updated news on when this project will shut down.
http://boinc.unsads.com/rsals/forum_....php?id=45#202
I noticed there are some new guys appearing on the forum that are not from the team.
When we click in the name we have no information only a screen saying we have not enough privileges to see the profile.
*Sigh* No work to distribute for 10 hours now. And almost out of cache.
At least I made my 2.5 Mil! :)
0) Get myself a 1 Mil MM. (Check)
1) Get the team a 5 Mil MM(300K, <2 days)(Check)
2) Get myself a 2.5 Mil MM(900K, ~4 days)(Check)
3) Get the team a perpetual #1 position (1.3 Mil, ~5 days)
4) Get myself a #1 perpetual position (2.3 Mil, ~9 days)
5) Get myself a 5 Mil MM (2.4 Mil, ~10 days)
6) Get the team a 10 Mil MM (4.1 Mil, ~13 days)
But, with no work left, those estimates are going to prove problematic. :)
Just to play fair, I have to warn Mumps. I am having two cores and 90 h work loaded. <):)

Dang it all, I knew I was supposed to increase my "extra days cache" for some reason. :)Quote:

Thanks Sarge. They are out of wus now but I'm sure they'll refill the hoppers soon.Quote:

No, RSA is correct. NFS will host a new app for RSA starting in September but that will count towards NSF credit, not RSA. RSA will allow people to finish any WUs they have from the old (current) site.
Looks like they are dry, haven't gotten any in a while. I didn't contribute much, but hey another program I participated it :) And congrats everyone on getting us to 2nd place.
man, we could have been #1 too -- they just needed another week's worth of work! :D
