2020 Formula Boinc Sprints

[TennesseeTony]

Hey! Semi-long time, no see! I would reach out and give ya a big 'ole handshake, but, well, pandemic and all.

 

[pututu]

Tony, we can still give each other virtual hug/handshake or whatever!

Guessing Asteroids is already out of available work units? One of my Raspberry Pis ran out of work and couldn't pickup anymore, so I switched it to Einstein (not exactly a ton of available options for a raspberry pi 2).

 

[Howdy]

All good here on WUs, maybe just a Pi issue?

Could be. The project page doesn’t break down if jobs are platform specific like Rosetta does. Only the pi 2 was short on work and now I’ve got it running both projects. Hopefully Einstein is next and I’ve just started precomputing the next batch of results!

Sprint #4 at Asteroids@home — the third 12 hours = halftime.
League 1, top ten teams:


Median hourly output:
403 k pph — Gridcoin
384 k pph — XtremeSystems
285 k pph — TeAm AnandTech
215 k pph — The Scottish Boinc Team, holding back from ≈290 k earlier
150 k pph — LITOMYSL Boinc Team Czech Republic
86 k pph — UK BOINC Team

From the looks of it, work supply might last just so until after the sprint:

Happy to see great use of the graphing too I am hosting

It costs $10 a month to run

Would you like some donations to keep it going?

Their servers/website are down. Someone might be dropping bunkers.

What Howdy said.
It's highly useful, not only because of the visualization of current server status, but also the long term history which you tracked is quite informative.

I was dropping by to say that too.

But it's back now. :-)

No, its fine, its running off spare hardware

Asteroids @Home Day 2

Third place now, looking good, unless...
The SBT is looking for a direct hit but I'm sure Bruce won't let it happen.

Well if you decide otherwise, I'm sure we can make it happen.

Day 2, top ten:


Hourly output of teams 2...4:


Maybe an Ethernet cable came loose at TSBT's. But if so, they'll probably plug it back in in time before the finish.

I think they accidentally connected their ethernet cables to XS server.

Day 3, first twelve hours, top ten teams:


Hourly output of teams 1, 3, 4:

I think they accidentally connected their ethernet cables to XS server.

This was after sundown in Scotland; easy to mix up ports on a switch then.

Day 3, top ten:

Asteroids@home final.
A fine finish all. Third place it is. Thanks to all.
Hope we can do one again next week as it is a good distraction for these times we are living in.

...and, yes the 2020 season is on hold.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Me trying to stay ahead of that xii5ku character...




Now I just need to try and beat that Perry Maskell rascal to 50M...assuming xii5ku resumes his prior projects.

 

[borandi]

1,154,400?

Gah I'm now on 1,673,280 with 589,920 still pending.

 

[StefanR5R]

589,920 still pending.

Tasks in progress is still much higher than before the announcement of the sprint. Perhaps some sprint participants bunkered much more than they needed, or did not decrease buffers towards the end of the sprint.

 

[TennesseeTony]

It appears you have entered a coast phase, @StefanR5R. How many pending for Asteroids do you have now? I am guessing at least 6300 to 8300...

 

[StefanR5R]

It's not that many anymore. Once the "pending validation" and "validation inconclusive" results turn into valid ones, I shall have 49,063,680 points.

(That's 1950⅔ valid results short of that lump of gold which you are pursuing, I believe.)
