By now dthonon has 18 primes and due to sheer power of numbers has passed Vaughan in points for the green jersey. Vaughan still leads for the red jersey, having found the biggest prime of the TdP2018.
It is a hard battle, I have deployed 2 AWS instances :
GenuineIntel
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8124M CPU @ 3.00GHz [Family 6 Model 85 Stepping 3]
(16 processors)
All up I have in the vicinity of 350 CPU cores (not hyperthreads) running. Plus numerous GPUs but limited by my strongest being a GTX1070ti.
Vaughan lost his red jersey (but is still in 2nd place in the red rankings) to Robish, who also took over the green jersey from dthonon thanbks to a truly massive prime. Vaughan is now in 3rd place for the green jersey.
dthonon still leads in the yellow jersey rankings, having found 21 primes during the TdP2018. Vaughan is 4th for yellow.
Wow, that's just a massive number of cores, but then the others at the top are also running tremendous firepower. But irregardless of whether or not you win Vaughan you've made a very impressive run so far during the first half of the challenge! Congratulations on your prime finds!!! :-)
350, I'm staggered. Have you got a small power station at the bottom of the garden?
Darkness isn't there, but you can't see through it
My 22 solar PV panels help cover about 12 percent of my daily power usage.
We added 12 8 core Xeon cpus from AWS last night and removed the higher core machines as stupid BOINC was not using them efficiently, it just doesn’t scale up to 100 perecent cpu usage. Don’t understand why. They were running the same app_config.xml script as the 8 core Xeon but only showed 70% usage under Linux.

Obviously you've got a bad case of the fever!! lol
Increased it to 36 AWS C5.2xlarge 8 core Xeon instances for the Mountain Stage.
Our rabbit-loving friend is really hammering them in at the moment...
