Teams stomped by SETI.USA on NFS@Home

To get the most credits you need at least 1GB per core/thread available.
Then go to http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/...subset=project and set up the clients like this:

Run only the selected applications
lasieved - app for RSALS subproject, uses less than 0.5 GB memory: no (36 points per wu)
lasievee - work nearly always available, uses up to 0.5 GB memory: no (44 points per wu)
lasievef - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: yes (65 points per wu)
lasieve5f - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: no (65 points per wu)

Offtopic: just looked at Top Host stats and my old GenuineIntelIntel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz is ranked 15th by daily average. Another week and I am in top 10. Hehe.

I have my lappy on it as well. Any free cores are for NFS.

Keep the faith Carlos. We will get to hit this project hard in the near future.

Ditto here.

Russia is out, next L'Alliance Francophone.

6 days left to catch L'Alliance Francophone. I moved my machine from 16e siever to 16e V5 siever. I think the wu's are faster to process so I will get more points, ~1,000 more. Within 1-1.5 days I will have the answer because my queue is 200 wu's, 160 so far queued with 16e V5 wu's, 40 left to process (6 hours). I just hope 1.3GB/core is enough to run these V5 wu's on an Ubuntu VM, if not I will have to increase to 6 GB the memory available to Ubuntu VM.

Yesterday was my first day running full 16e V5 wu's and managed to go up to 12k points, more 800 points instead of the 1000 I was expecting, not bad?!
We are almost getting the French, then a long slowly way until Sicituradastra. Already tried to convince Ben ( bdodson*) to move to us but I didn't get a reply from him yet. The good news is that he hasn't got anymore the computer labs available to run BOINC so it is not expected any kind of reaction from Sic team.

There we go Carlos. LaF is now history. About 2 months now and we'll catch up to Sic.
