Sweet - we going to join that first one or are we all going to be NFSed out by then? :o
I will be there anyway (at NFS) but I don't know if the team wants to join on this challenges. I would like that anyway.Quote:

That is to say till the end of the second challenge, I will make 19 or is it 18 at 12th April :confused:, good that my memory is in a very bad shape. :D
I swear I didn't knew about this challenges or I would have waited to call you for both of them. Now I got really confused. :p
Do as you wish, in spite I will be on both challenges crunching for the team. :cool:
I'll run both starting on March 30th.
Carlos
I'll be honest...I'll be off if NFS in 2 days. At that point I'll have my 5000 hrs and be moving to something else, so I won't be in either challenge. Sorry, just not a math fan...but I'll give what I can until then. I have a couple of gpu milestones I want to hit in the next 30 days, once those are met the gpus go down for the summer. NC heat and gpu crunching don't go well together unless you have ac blowing into the boxes and that is not economically feasible.Quote:

Your help is being very appreciated on the time you could give to the project. I believe in the use of mathematics and general knowledge for a better world, many THANKS Al.Quote:

But that is only my opinion and I am only another cruncher trying to do my best to have a good time in Boinc and in the Forum of my team as I always did in all the teams I was in, all to have a better world.
Well I write to much sorry for that.:o
I'll try to throw a few Box's on the Challenge's, still need to move my NFS App's up the Chart, have so many other App's going though it's hard to concentrate on just 1 or a few App's but will see what I can do ...
So who can add SETI.USA to the challenges?
Only the Founder of a Team can add a Team to the BoincStats Challenges, the Founder is the only one who can create a Challenge too ..
Who's the team founder?
Carlos
I am not sure of who is the team founder at NFS but I think F$ and Mike know the password to access the team founder maybe there are others (or so I think).
Please F$, Mike or DP inscribe the team to perform the challenges. We will try to make the best we can.
We are the best producing team for NFS this last few days and will catch LAF before the challenge, I am sure.
Okay S.USA is now registered for the April Showers I & II challenges.
Enjoy!

Less than one hour to start the challenge, something tells me the competition will be fierce. Let us see what we can do about it. I have a small bunker, saving for a rainy day. :o
I am finishing the genefer one more day of crunching and then only NFS.
I am ready. :D

Yhea but they are a bit lost, I think NFS has not computation power for the dumping. The teams doesn't agree with users. They will fix it has they did the last time, is only a matter of time.Quote:

Willy cut me from the shout outs again. I can not answer to alezevo1. WELL. :mad:
Ooops....
I've been chasing WUProp stars and the start time for this slipped my mind X_X
Running NFS now.
Is Mumps [MM] buffering to then go high on the challenge rankings?!
Mumps is doing what he said on ChatZilla. Thanks Mumps the eternal number one on CPU crunching. I don't think Mumps needs to bunker in any CPU projects Carlos.Quote:

Go Mumps, Go Team, straight to the first position, I am sure. :-bd

Oops. It seemed to be doing fine until I finished up my 2 projects that were keeping me late. Now the NFS website isn't responding... :rolleyes:Quote:

NFS@Home server is fine. Sometimes it can get slower due to the challenge.

A good news for the Windows users. Experimental lasieve4_64, compiled with MinGW-w64, has been achieved by a member of mersenneforum so it is just a matter of time until Greg sets it up on the NFS@Home server to be tested. This version will be lasieve5f application for Windows 64 bits users.
I will let you all know about it or just check the RSS NFS@Home news.
Carlos
I'm having trouble getting thru to the Server too, running out of work on some Box's ... :rolleyes:
Steve, Greg was warned about it.
God Dang it Mumps, now I have to get a New Paint job on my Box's, you blew by me so fast it peeled the paint off them ... :p:p:p
@pinhodecarlos: Not to worry, I fired up the Updater & have work on all of them now ... >:)

I will keep going with my race, man I am going fast. :p
Wow, this project is kicking my but. One of my 24 core linux boxes that was rock solid has a 25% error rate.:mad: The 32 core box has some bad memory right now that I haven't had time to fix so I'm not even trying that system on NFS.
Surprisingly I haven't had a single error yet (Knock on Wood) usually I get 1 every so often but none yet ... Does the Box have enough Memory ???
I had never had error tasks on NFS both in Linux and Windows.
Maybe you are using too much of memory pagination and the system gets lost on it.
Sorry about that Ste\/e. In about 30 minutes last night I went from about 100 WU's to holding roughly 25% of what NFS has out for processing. :) Still having problems getting work on many of the systems, but it'll do for now. :rolleyes: b-)Quote:

Don't know what the heck happened but every thing I'm getting is erring out across the board (every box) in a few minutes so basically I'm out of work ...
So, in general, is linux faster on NFS? On my old xeon boxes it seems to be a draw with win 7. With my 8150 amd it would appear to be a lot faster under a linux vm...though I haven't finished a wu under the vm yet, so I don't have true time to base that assumption on.
Edit:
AMD 8150
Linux - Completed and validated 4,985.10 4,939.05 36.00 14e Lattice Sieve v1.10
Win7 - Completed and validated 6,876.88 6,716.22 36.00 14e Lattice Sieve v1.08
AMD 1035T
Linux - Completed and validated 4,855.67 4,824.20 36.00 14e Lattice Sieve v1.10
Win7 - Completed and validated 7,952.11 7,913.12 36.00 14e Lattice Sieve v1.08
Xeon 5420
Linux - Completed and validated 7,394.07 7,228.74 36.00 14e Lattice Sieve v1.10
Win7 - Completed and validated 7,893.46 7,745.80 36.00 14e Lattice Sieve v1.08
Seems well worth running the vms on the amds, not so much on the old intel xeons.
Man, that's lame. Sorry to hear that. I had one WU error out on my laptop yesterday, but I figured that was because I started and stopped that one too many times! :D Hope it gets sorted out soon for you! Hate to see you lose such a high position in the challenge, you are right up there!Quote:
