Get your MMs while you can!
Dang, unless this is a temporary work stoppage, it looks like this may be the end...
http://boinc.unsads.com/rsals/server_status.php
I should hit the 1 Mil level, but wish there was 2 more days of work to catch up to Sic* And 6 more days of work for a team 5 Mil MM...
EDIT: Checking the forums, this should be a temporary dry-up. The server is low on disk space so they need to do a little cleanup. But it may take up to a week to be able to do that. They have to get some post-processing completed before they can.
Hmmmm.... Mumps has a 24 processor box which leads the LSA project with a top RAC of..... wait for it...... 2.4K per day. That's just 35 times less than DiRT! Someone stop me before I move my whole farm over to LSA! Oh, wait. I already have a 10K milestone there. No need. :p
Keep in mind though, that 24-core box was only added to LSA 4 days ago, so that RAC is far from settled in at an accurate level. That system is crunching other projects too, as well as my Split CPID *also* causing some machines to have gotten multiple host cpid's so even all the daily production for this single host may be split. ( I haven't confirmed if this specific one is affected though.) And, the last excuse I'll make is I do have problems uploading larger results. Depending on the upload size (and LSA has larger uploads) I lose a percentage of my work to uploads that cannot be completed. Something up to almost 5% daily per host with this size uploads.
Daily production at LSA is about 10K though, so the credits really do still suck when compared to GPUS. Maybe I need to volunteer that 24 core host to do their post-processing for them. :D
The Project Admin has mentioned in the forums that the crunching power "has quadrupled since I made my announcement." Well, looking back 3 weeks, my own daily production is currently about 6 times what they had been getting donated up until then. And the project daily output yesterday shows I was about 50% of their total production. It seems sic* is ramping up to try to defend a position. Or at least hit a 5Mil MM like I'm hoping our team can do.
Well, I'm all in until I get to 50k. I really doubt I can make it to 100k unless I borrow the usage of a hydra head. In fact, with a project shutting down, we could move available hydra head cores over (to the project, not to me) if we're within reach of passing another team. This end of life looks a little more definitive than the Yafu EOL.
Here's a thought....
1. SIC has a lot less CPU power than us.
2. Once the project shuts down, the position is permanent.
3. We are only a couple hundred thousand behind them and less than a million behind SG.
If we really made a push, could we pass them both and end up with a permanent 4th? Or, if we really pushed super hard, even 3rd (1.2 million to catch up)? Or, is the credit so bad that there's no chance of either?
Slicker you are one of my brother just tell me you want me to crunch RSA and I will do it. I just have my small power to help you. I will be there with you.
That was a very inspirational speech at least for me and so I will be there with you. I will start immediately. Man what a speech...
:p I finished all the tasks there are no more. I made all the one task they had. Am I fired? :((
Very Crazy Duke @-)
A 3 day cache covers over a multitude of sins.
They seem to have an issue with disk space. Thankfully, they project made their work generator smart enough to not create work if it won't have space to receive it when done. Homefully they will clear up some space today.
I will try to get some of them to me. Thanks Slicker.
We need a small help in here for a couple of days. In this moment the project has a bunch of tasks. Get them while they are there.
Go team go.
:p Well it was quick they finished maybe there are more coming. :) Man what a download speed.
Just grabbed a bunch still some left.

Mumps took all the tasks. I am feeling like the Sici guys (and gals) on the Simap challenges. Man where are the tasks? I am waiting...

But it is not only me, someone was waiting long before I was...

Thanks to spingadus, RLacroix, Mumps, Mike029, triggle, Hydra, and Duke we have now passed Sic at RSA and are pressing on to overtake SG for the #4 position. We have 400K to go but are currently outproducing SG by 80K per day. I have a feeling SG will start adding resources in order to try and hold their position and LAF will likely do the same. I think it is going to take help from additional members in order to get past LAF as they are 800K ahead of us. At our current rate, it will take 10 days to catch up and I don't think we have that much time left. RSA will likely stop generating work prior to shutting down. so we need to get as much work as possible done ASAP. Remember, this is a permanent stat because the project is shutting down in a couple weeks. Can we do it? Can we really make a push and go all the way to #2 which is only 1.3 million credits away? Its going to take more the 7 of us to do it. Make that 10 since Mumps is cranking out 4x the credit of anyone else on this project.
I say we give this a good push till the end. \m/\m/ Anyone got a few spare cores to throw at this? :o
Picked up 1 task in 30 minutes of updating. Must be some sort of secret to getting tasks.:(
:p Now you know how I felt all these days. :((
But now I have some tasks. :D There are better hours to take tasks than others. :)

Some of my systems over-cached. I got the root identified and corrected, so there should be WU's available. You can always go to the Server Status page which even has a nice graph showing how many WU's are available. Pretty accurate from what I've seen. At the moment it's reporting about 2,400 WU's available.
At the moment, I've got a few goals here...
0) Get myself a 1 Mil MM. (Check)
1) Get the team a 5 Mil MM ( 300K, <2 days)
2) Get myself a 2.5 Mil MM (900K, ~4 days)
3) Get the team a perpetual #1 position (2.5 Mil, ~10 days)
4) Get myself a #1 perpetual position (3.2 Mil, ~13 days)
5) Get myself a 5 Mil MM (3.4 Mil, ~14 days)
6) Get the team a 10 Mil MM (5.3 Mil, ~20 days)
Obviously all these estimates are presuming the work holds out and is consistently available.
Right now, I'll be happy to see the team get that 5 Mil. :) Anything beyond that is icing.

Don't they know that resisting is futile?

They should know that already.
From the graphs (thanks Duke), you can see that Sic is also making a push. So for, there has not been a lot of activity from SG in the last week and LAF is at a stand still. If we can keep Sic from catching up, I think we have a shot at #3 and maybe even a #2.
There are still only 7 people on our team crunching RSA (e.g. a RAC > 1.0) compared to 16 for Sic. Any chance of getting some more help? With 2,400 active members on the team, you would think we could get more than 7!
:confused: I thought we have 61 crunching for the team. Me and 6(0) of you. Man what a show of Mumps and company. The daily credit is simply unbelievable for 7 people only (only?) but well we have Mumps and company on our side. :D
\m/ Let us keep the crunching for some days, I am with no tasks for the moment at RSA but will be on the party while I can.<:-P
Looking at that chart I'm thinking we have a real shot a number one overall if the credits hold up. None of the other teams above us are making a move. We just passed SG and we are a 10-14 days from taking over top spot with a team effort here. Come on guys. Grab a few. :-bd:-bd
I grab some tasks, now and I am on the run with you. Grab some while you can.
#4 in the bag. It looks like we may get #3 and maybe even #2. Does this qualify for a team email to get all hands on deck? Sure be nice to end as #1 in this project which will remain forever!
Must be riding with the glorious 7 then. :D Well, I have a gun but no horse, let's see what I can do. I guess one of the farmer roles always is vacant, they get shot quite frequently. :)) Could be it was a horse but no gun though. Wait... :-?
Whatever he said, I think I fully agree. Great to see you around, Pete! \m/
Maybe this is the wrong place . . . . but why does an 8 core Intel i7 on 7.0.28 have half the RSA Lattice Seiver cpu output of a 6 core AMD on 6.10.34? Both machines started work at the same time. I had to remove 7.0.28 from another machine and reinstall 6.10.34 because RSA Lattice Seiver had locked up for 24 hours. GPUGRID seems to only run on the GTX 670 using 7.0.28.

If this is the wrong place for this question, I assume someone will move it to a more appropriate location. Sorry.
