    Re: RSA Lattice Server moving to NFS@Home and shutting down

    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. Anyone got a few spare cores to throw at this?

    Picked up 1 task in 30 minutes of updating. Must be some sort of secret to getting tasks.

    Now you know how I felt all these days.

    But now I have some tasks. There are better hours to take tasks than others.

    They release WUs every day or so and they go fast. I set my work request for 5 days. They expire in 3 but I eat through them pretty fast with a 2600k.

    Maybe it was just coincidence, but when I suspended World Community Grid, RSA Lattice Sieving downloaded a whole bunch of tasks. Who says software isn't smart. Anyhow, reset to 5 days. Thank you.

    Yeah, I have that problem with the new Boinc program. If I have work with another project it will not DL WUs. Thanks for the help Somanyroads. WE have a real shot at 3rd. Perhaps 2nd if they keep pumping out work for a bit longer.

    Re: RSA Lattice Server moving to NFS@Home and shutting down

    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.
