Any plans for this year?
I'd say we do.. Load up your systems with Universe, hold a system free for PrimeGrid and prepare for five bursts of Numberfields, that's it for starters.Quote:

What do you see on the left side when you open the forum? I see this:

I am logged in, I have to be to post. Which board is that under? I do not see it on the side bar either, I am wondering if I am not part of some critical user-group or something. This is what I get when I click on the link you provided. Attachment 412
This should be your start view as a member:

if it is not, you should contact a moderator/admin.
Nope, odd. When I log in the "Admin -News" shows up, however "Team Only" isn't there, and I don't think it ever was :-/ Who are the admin/mods?
AFAIK:
AMDave -- Moderator
Beerknurd -- Admin/Moderator
dkazgt2 -- Admin/Moderator
Empty_5oul -- Moderator
Lagu -- Moderator
NeoGen -- Moderator
Nflight -- Moderator
Ototero -- Moderator
spjeff69 -- Admin/Moderator
vaughan -- Admin/Moderator
But this list is out of date (dates from 2011), and Jeff -who is admin/moderator- isn't on it (But Jeff's AIM handle appears to be spjeff69).
I posted an admin support request on our facebook page
If you miss your personal scores in the AMD Users team stats for Universe@Home: you have to give permission to export your stats to the stats sites on your Universe@Home account page.

I can't get anything through this friendly-fire DDoS, and it appears everyone else is suffering the same fate. I have just shy of 2,000 units pending validation :(
You're doing great, Universe@Home lasts for the full 14 days of this event. I'd even say hold them for the next obstacle, if I'd knew exactly when that would be.
If about four hours (? something fishy going on, should be 30 minutes) the 1st obstacle (+200% with Universe!) of the obstacle course ends and the Javelin event (Numberfields@Home) begins.
Sadly I am going to have to purge all the units from the big gun, I managed to get a measly 65 out of 1009 uploaded and reported on that box, and the last core just ran dry. Like you said we have no idea when the next obstacle will be, and all cores sitting idle for more than a day will hurt us more than missing the bonus points. This is what I get for not buffering the full allotment of 36 tasks per thread.
Idle? You can run Numberfields now and leave the Universe Wu's suspended on your system -that's what I'm doing, as the deadline is thirteen days. And PrimeGrid joins in too in two days.
Universe is responding better today for me but NumberFields is unreachable.
You managed to push a good scores through their server, nevertheless.
We finished #13 at the first Javelin throw, thanks to our good last hour:
https://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pe...?challengeid=2
We had an adequate 2nd throw for the Javelin event, but now face three projects at the same time for the 3rd throw, as Universe and PrimeGrid are both still active.
Directly after the third throw the 3-day sprint event will be for SRBase, while the 5-day CityRun event -Einstein@Home- will be from the 14th till the 19th of May.
And the 4th and/or 5th throw might still be needed, according to Jeepers

BOINC.Italy (#8) and AMD Users (#9) are at a similar level, which means that the AMD guys would have to make use of all remaining attempts to pass the Italians.
Remember the good days when GPU projects were limited to one? This year is exhausting (and hot). As far as three projects, it's only two for me, I haven't been able to get work for Universe in nearly four days.
I managed to get tasks in Universe by setting cache to 2 days and clicking update many many times until I got some downloads. Very tedious - one would expect after so many years of BOINC being in existence that this wouldn't be required in 2022.
Hi guys,
I completely forgot about the pentathlon due to AP testing this year, and I would like to contribute: during testing my computers were fully running WW for PG, so I guess that's a nice coincidence.
For Universe: what subproject should I run for the most credits?
For Javelin: Which of the last two throws are we focusing on?
For SRBase: Should I bunker for Srbase?
For Einstein: What subproject should I run?
Universe = Anything you can get as the server is swamped (DDOS'd)Quote:

You still manage to crank up quite a score during the 'Bonus' hours!Quote:

Going to purge all the completed units during non-bonus and grab a fresh 36/thread assuming work is available, then raise the firewall again. I was trying to flush machines as they ran dry and grab new work, figured non-bonus credit was better than idle, but with the lack of work I just stockpiled NumberFields after I chewed through the Universe work, even though CPU work is about useless in comparison.

Yes try another Javelin.Quote:

It's going to be a photo finish, if we can maintain last hours output for the next two, we finish PrimeGrid in 10th by 48k
We overtook Italy to take 13th in Universe.
Are we going to satisfy ourselves with 17th in Einstein? Or will we push after SRBase is over?
When SRBase is over you can assign the GPU resources to either Einstein or Numberfields, the CPU resources to Universe or Numberfields.
I'm switching some GPUs from PG to Einstein now. I had to overtake Megacruncher it PG PPS_sieve.
I suggest that we focus on SRBase and getting P9 from AF, is that realistic? We aren't making much inroad on Chinese Dream rn...
OK I'll add some more T4 nVidia GPUs from TheScienceCloud to SRBase.
We can at least do a serious try to gain P9 from L'AF, we can always catch the Chinese later, when we've diverted the GPUs used for SRBase to Einstein.Quote:

I cannot report tasks to Einstein.
It takes some persistence, server seems to be really burdened.
SG seems unable to retrieve stats from einstein-I'm bunkering for NF.
Data from Einstein went through: Litomysl is gaining upon us!
I've ordered one of these to add to the pharm.

It will join this Intel based machine I bought recently:

Do GPU for NF, CPU for Universe. This is the last Obstacle
But what about Einstein? I use my GPUs for that, as (most of my) GPUs offer no real advantage over CPUs with NF.Quote:
