Primegrid Challenge Series

[mattozan]

same here... 5 more before the deadline. Have 4615 credits in pending for when the validator gets all caught up. I've finished all those that will finish. When do I switch back (change prefs) and continue previous work?

I use Boincstats BAM, so I just changed my Primegrid prefs to CW Sieve in preparation for the next challenge. When my clients refresh, they'll continue with any TRP LLR WUs that they have, but starting picking up new CW Sieve WUs going forward.

Mattozan, In case you missed it I moved your last post to the Lounge

Geez, I should pay more attention - I didn't even know we were participating in the Challenge series this year...

I've been directing all my recent efforts towards the Dual Sierpinski double-check in the Project Staging Area. Now that the challenge is over, if anyone wants to join me and earn some PSA credit I wouldn't mind the company (Team name is "FreeDC" because I forgot the dash)

Enderak,

Regarding the name, can't you turn that over to Bok and let Bok change/correct it as should be ?

Bok: Your call on this one as you are our leader

Nah, I'm fine with what Enderak has done. This is 'Free'-DC remember, it's everyone's team

MMM How does that work ? Like Timeshares in a condo

It's not for a competition or anything, and the credit shows up fine in my stats. The only issue would be if someone else started crunching it and put "Free-DC" as the team name, the credit would be divided in the stats shown at http://pgllr.mine.nu:13000/all.html Since the PSA credit is applied manually by Primegrid username, it translates just fine to the Free-DC stats.

I believe the 'Dogs' have gotten to the PG server which sits idle with no more 'resend WU' allowed (based on its config) as the '_0' was also recrunched as a '_1' which stops it from going any further. So the 'Dog Days of Summer' have gone to the 'dogs' ? The transitioner, validator, and a whole bunch of other BOINC internal services are turned off due to earlier load. Is this not a repeat of one a few years ago? Perhaps a reschedule is due? Anyone's thoughts?


Update: PG claims to be back on with fresh WUs, but I still get _1 WUs sent to me. Is a 'reschedule' due in light of the huge problems which occurred and was out of their control in any way?

So we ended up 15th out of 208 teams.
I think this was a very good result considering how few of us there were.
Our success we owe in a large part to the monster collection of Laurenu2 who wound up in 21st place overall.

The next challenge starts 21 June. Just for the record it is best crunched with an Nvidia GPU. Sorry Lauren, no ATI applications for this one. CPUs will work though.

In the mean time, if you are looking for the best credit:
Nvidia GPU - Primegrid
ATI GPU - Moo Wrapper (just changed to static credit so this may change)
CPU - DNA@Home (when you can get work)
