SG BOINC Pentathlon 2022

[Dirk Broer]

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.

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

Today was a bit better, 55% managed to get pushed through, the first bonus only 40% would agree pack up and leave. 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.

Universe = Anything you can get as the server is swamped (DDOS'd)
Numberfields = Similar but server seems OK today.
SRBase = GPU tasks score well
Einstein = GPU, I find the CPU tasks take ages.

Thanks. For Javelin Throw, are we doing a fourth throw?

Should we abandon trying to catch Ukraine on PG?

Yes try another Javelin.
No - I've added heaps of machines to PG today.

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

[vaughan]

We overtook Italy to take 13th in Universe.

[dannyridel]

Are we going to satisfy ourselves with 17th in Einstein? Or will we push after SRBase is over?

[Dirk Broer]

When SRBase is over you can assign the GPU resources to either Einstein or Numberfields, the CPU resources to Universe or Numberfields.

[vaughan]

I'm switching some GPUs from PG to Einstein now. I had to overtake Megacruncher it PG PPS_sieve.

[dannyridel]

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...
