Sweeeeeeeet!
Very nice! I'm still trying to scrape the beta for 100 hours. lol Must be so nice to get that one. CONGRATS!!!!!
That Beta is so difficult! Congrats
Thanks all. I'm officially OCD from all the micro-management it took to get there.
You'll never know what you're living for until you know what you're willing to die for.
Is there a trick to getting Beta work? I get some here and there, but with nine rigs on WCG full time, I'd love to get more!Thanks all. I'm officially OCD from all the micro-management it took to get there.
Why, yes you are, but it doesn't negate the accomplishment. Holy crap! I'm a few hours away from gold and have made no progress in months. Congrats!Thanks all. I'm officially OCD from all the micro-management it took to get there.
I did manage to get my 4th wuprop star to Pink...80 projects with at least 10,000 run time.
There really isn't a "trick" but there are some things you can do. When there is an intermittent project like there is now (FAAH) select that project only and use BPU set to request tasks every 2:10(that's 2 minutes,10 seconds). After that it's the luck of the draw. When there are no intermittent projects it's much harder to get them because you have to have at least 1 project selected. In that case set your cache to 0 and use BPU. Beta tasks will ignore your cache settings and you won't be overloaded with tasks from the project you have selected even when BPU keeps updating but you will get betas(1 per core only) if available. You'll have to manually start them if you want them to run ahead of your selected project tasks. The best way to do that is use an app_config file and set your selected project to -1 concurrent tasks. I have 200-300 cores available for betas only so when these 2 latest betas started it was a "perfect storm" for me to load up. Now y'all know my "secrets" and I'll never get to 10 years.
Another bonus from the last 2 betas was they were long running tasks.12-18 hours each for the most part. You can really rack up some time on those.
Awesome
