Interesting to see.... Didn't even know about the site.

I'm curious as well, although I just recently did my semi-monthly purge of additional projects. Once the last couple of work units finish up for Einstein@Home, LHC@Home, and MilkyWay@Home I'll be down to 7 CPU and 1 GPU projects again.

I also yet again went "omg, there's someone else from Deadmonton on our BOINC team!" because apparently I don't pay that close attention to locations it seems.

I would not call it slumming it - as per FB "The teams selected for the FB are divided into three divisions of 25 teams. The distribution of teams depends on the number of active members (RAC>100) on each project." I guess we had fewer RAC>100 member than those in League 1
:headscrat
. Still, we are crushing all other teams with 407 points compared to 2nd place with 287 points. And there is still room for improvement
:thumb:


I have switched two of my 3770K's to ATLAS as i think it will be easy to move from 6th (8pts) to 3rd (15pts) by the end of the month. Who knows, we could possibly move higher as we are out producing all but AMD users in league 2.

Yes OCN has more power but fewer people

The way that the Divisions are set up is different this year. Every other year we were in Division 1. In previous years, the Divisions were separated by total team RAC, rather than per user RAC. The Rules page is still the formula that was used last year. 2016 Rules

I wonder how they are going to announce, and run, the Sprint portion of the contest?

So I started to go through the possible list and setup accounts for ones I've never ran before. PRIMABOINCA better be off the list as you can't even create an account there. No mention of what the invite code is. Just reading the thread titles the project seems to have had issues over the years running out of work. How does one run out of work looking for primes?

http://www.primaboinca.com/forum_thread.php?id=1201

The invite code for the Yafu project is 'yafu'

I've never ran any of the LHC projects or any that require VB to be installed. I've installed VB on my own. Is there anything else special that needs to be done for those projects?

My computer running milkyway shut itself down again (ever since I put the W8100 card in and installed the AMD drivers, the computer shuts off during the night) and I am not home until next week to start it back up

So I am down a card and 24 threads

Otherwise I look forward to the sprint event

That's an interesting choice for a sprint, given how long yoyo work units are... And just how memory intensive they can get too.
 
#21 ·
And I think it was muon and ECM that had the memory usage issues. Might be slightly wrong though.
