PrimeGrid Earth Day Challenge April 22-30; Awaiting results...

[petrusbroder]

No, I do not have any Macs running. We will see how it turns out later ...

 

[RobertE]

I'm starting to get some results validated. My C2D is being granted roughly 50% more than claimed.

 

[Ken g6]

My C2D is being granted roughly 50% more than claimed.

That's roughly normal for LLR projects. I've only had one validated so far; one other is "validation inconclusive", and the other computer looks very reliable. :hmm:

 

[filibusterman]

I don't know what happened but just some minutes ago the stats changed ...

The individual stats:
_18 ___ petrusbroder ____ TeAm AnandTech _____ 437927.65
_58 ___ biodoc __________ TeAm AnandTech _____ 168871.65
_96 ___ filibusterman ___ TeAm AnandTech _____ 110534.91

The team-stats:
_9 ___ BOINCstats _____________ 1459368.02
10 ___ BOINC@Poland ___________ 1307045.06
11 ___ TeAm AnandTech _________ 1072885.58
12 ___ PrimeSearchTeam ________ 1051019.02
13 ___ Czech National Team ____ 1007618.14

Hmmm is that a fluke of stats updates or what. OK, I have dumped a lot of WUs during the past hours but not that much ...
OK, I see that waffleironhead's numbers increased too ... :\

But with all the rigs dajeepster has he should be way above me he must be hording this WU!!

 

[filibusterman]

So how is this going to work since the WU have to be validated.. U only get credit if some one finishes validating your work? What happens to unvalidated WU at the end of the race?

 

[Ken g6]

You get credit for all results submitted that didn't produce an error; but all results have to be validated by being done the same way by someone else. Validation can and often will occur after the race has finished. If your work is eventually invalidated, credit for that work will be removed.

To help with validation, at the end of the race the PrimeGrid administrators would like you to either abort any unfinished WUs or continue running 321 LLR WUs for awhile to validate others' work.

 

[petrusbroder]

Here are the current stats:

Our team continues to hold the 11th position, which is very nice ... let us continue to crunch!!!

 

[rabrittain]

OK -- This is cool!! I have fininshed 9 tasks so far, and they all are waiting to be validated -- ~ 2000 points pending.

This is fun.

Welcome to Slatz!

We're still in the thick of things, battling it out with PrimeSearchTeam and the Czech Republic for 11th place! :thumbsup:

 

[RobertE]

Looks like it's shapping up to be a 3 way race for 11-13th.

 

[petrusbroder]

Added one more computer!

PBToyz just vaulted ahead of us since yesterday. I guess the addition of Duke makes this a four-way race.

Welcome to BRIAN and Carl.

 

[petrusbroder]

Thanks for the stats, Ken_g6.
It still looks good!

 

[filibusterman]

yea my best pII 945 seems to be just a bit unstable which is horrible for this race since you get errors and have to start over if your rig crashes so hopefully the fsb bump down is more stable!!

 

[Ken g6]

Yep, that's why I suggested running PPS or SGS for awhile before the race. Remember whatever settings you find best for the September-October race ("Calendula"). It will be even worse!

 

[rabrittain]

Thanks for the stats, Ken_g6!!!

 

[Ken g6]

John announces...

A 321 Mega Prime has been discovered!!!

It is over 1.8M digits and will be ranked 17th in the Top 5000 list. More details to come.

:awe: (I'll get rid of the sparkleys if you want.)

Also: Thanks for the nighttime stats, Peter!

And the prime is...

...

The discovery was made by David Mumper (Mumps)...of the SETI.USA team.

So congrats to them!

At the halfway point in the race, we're in severe danger of being in Czech! But the strategy to avoid Czech mate is obvious - crunch more!

Apparently my overclock was fine - the other guy was wrong - so I've gone back to it.

Also, what? Zzuupp joined us! Welcome!

 

[rabrittain]

Is it me, or are my stats actually decreasing?

 

[Ken g6]

Your stats can decrease if your computers make errors in their computations. It takes awhile for these errors to be discovered.

It looks like this computer is producing the bad results. You should lower its overclock, or clean the dust out or something.

Edit: Looks like it hasn't produced any good results! You should fix that machine ASAP!

 

[filibusterman]

I have added another Q6600 although only at stock on a dell but hopefully it does some good against the Chech team. Also, some of my rigs refuse to report completed tasks as they just stay happily in the boinc task list. Any way to get them to report upon completion?

Edit: and the hard drive on my athlon x3 435 is holding on for the moment. It seems like such a waste to buy a hard drive which would be the cost of a cpu/mobo combo!
