Oh yeah, d'oh! Thought it was GPU only. Ok, will squeeze a few CPU tasks in. :icon_rolleyes:
I've done a couple of tasks just to register my presence, but we're in a mini-heatwave here and my computer sits in our living room. Bad time to have a graphics card blowing hot air at us. Hopefully...
I've got my machine running for this, currently about halfway through the first task in 6 hours. Hoping for a top 300 position! :)
Pity it wasn't in Feb for the challenge, and I just missed International Women's Day too (as it's a Sophie Germain one), and it's not in the top 5,000, but happy to have finally got one anyway!
...
Congratulations Vaughan!
I didn't get any, but at least I got another amethyst badge. All good fun!
Me too. I'm getting lots of firsts, but no primes found. I'm concentrating on Mega, Div & 321 in the hope of a single good one rather than the smaller PPSE ones.
Whoops, forgot the start, but I've got going now. Should have my first task (Woodall) finished later today. :icon_rolleyes:
Team still 6th, with 8 of us on the scoreboard now. 14 hours left. I'm hoping I don't find a prime in this challenge as I'm a vegetarian and don't like bacon anyway. Stupid challenge. :rolleyes:
Well that was an exciting finish!
After a long fight with a couple of Czech National team members and hovering around position 15 for a long time, with a brief blip up to 11th then dropping back...
Oooh, thanks for the tip, I hadn't noticed SGS runs better single-threaded. I've just changed mine to do so and I now have about 20 finishing every 30 minutes instead of one every 12, quite a big...
Yes, nothing wrong with nVidia cards in my opinion, in some ways I wish I'd chosed one instead of the ASUS power hungry monster, but the price was right at the time.
By the way, this particular...
Sophie Germain's Birthday Challenge is under way, ending 4 April 12:00 UTC.
I'm struggling to stay in the top 300 with 3 machines running 20 cores on this one! Don't know if PrimeGrid has...
A pretty good result all round for us I think, 10 finishers in the individuals table, team ended up at 9th, and fun watching Vaughan sneak up the individauls chart to position 3 after giving everyone...
A couple more of our team member names appearing in the individuals list now and AMD Users starting to rise in the team table (well, by one, we're at 29 now!). :icon_lol:
Team floating in mid-table at position 30 out of 80 at the moment, must be the beer taking effect? Hic!:icon_razz:
Four of us on the results table so far, with Vaughan at the top of the individuals leaderboard. Team currently 4th, but Sicituradastra snapping at our heels. Anyone else joining in?
...
7 of us in the individuals list so far, and all in the top 300. Vaughan creeping steadily up towards the top too, currently at position 3. :)
Now up to 9th... :icon_lol:
Seven of us on the individuals list too, and all in the top 300, brilliant!
I've fired up my backup machine as well now and got that running Primegrid TRP full time too, so another 4 processors on top of my original 16. Not a lot, but every little helps? We're only 30,000...
Cool, five of us on the leaderboard now! :-)
PrimeGrid's challenge series continues this weekend with a 3-day PPS LLR challenge, which has just started a few hours ago :-

Vaughan is already up...
I've got all 6 of my AMD CPUs going on this one, looks like it'll be about 24 hours before the first task finishes. Hoping for a top 300 position this time! :)
Well I cocked that one up superbly. Was going away for the weekend so wouldn't be around my computers when the challenge started, so set them going on 321 tasks earlier in the day and left them to...
My radioactive@home task is stuck trying to upload, and the website homepage and url seems to be invalid now too. Hmm. :BangHead:
