2chan is close - can we catch them?

Well, maybe...I've gotten aggravated that I was passed. Pulled out a few dusty items and plugged them in. :twisted:

At the moment, YES!

I thought you might like to meet some of the players in this game.

It's NOT like me to be organized. It's too embarrassing to show you the other half of my particular team, but since I just transferred these guys to the living room they haven't gotten covered in clutter yet.

This race coincided nicely with below freezing temperatures the last three nights.

EDIT: Can't sleep due to a 'short' nap earlier, so I did some further organizing and dusted off yet another seasonally retired PC.

Not as neat looking, unless I can turn it into a pyramid.

Still haven't maxed out this 240v outlet, but my extension cord is starting to strain. Well within the limits though, I think...probably. Pushing 2800w, 13 amp cord should be good for another 320w.

And....now I have to open a window overnight.

 

[Pokey]

Impressive.

Esp. the pristine conditions.............

 

[TennesseeTony]

The other guys are both jealous, and in fear of their lives, what with all the corpses stored just underneath the shelf upon which they sit and such. (it's good to be single sometimes. )

I made a big deal out of naming and introducing BumbleBee. The little unassuming guy in the middle with the blue PWR button is Bee's twin, WUSS. So there, got that outta the way finally.

HA! I was imagining you pulling out an old P4 or something. Only because that is what I have hiding in a shed somewhere.

 

[Pokey]

I am tempted, but I am not going to show my computer grave yard...........
it would probably freak everybody out. :$

We did pass 2chan, Tony wound up in 13th awe, and he provided more than half our points!

 

[TennesseeTony]

Thanks for organizing the TeAm for these events and for keeping score for us Ken_g6. We appreciate it!

 

[petrusbroder]

Thanks for the stats, Ken_g6!

 

[Orange Kid]

Thanks for the stats, updates and general fun.

I found a prime in this challenge

That's awesome! How do you check for that?

Oh, and I was waving this time, if you didn't notice.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Ooh ooh ooh! I got one too!

Nice...congrats all

I did some test runs today on Proth Prime Search Sieve (PPS-Sieve), the upcoming race project. (19-22 December)

3,371.00 points per GPU task. Completion time for my R9-280X fleet is 14 minutes.

Best case scenario: I'll have 6 GPUs, completing tasks every 14 minutes, for 86,682 points per hour, or 2,080,388 points per day.

2,080,388 points per day.



Meanwhile, the CPUs will be: :'(

LOL
might have to spend me some $$$

Completion time for my R9-280X fleet is 14 minutes.

And Nvidia GPUs are actually faster, in general. The app doesn't use floating point at all - only integers.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Meanwhile, the CPUs will be: :'(

GPU 14 minutes
CPU test #1: 17 hours (no HT)
CPU test #2: ongoing, probably 30+ hours (HT enabled) EDIT: Came in just under 29 hours.

///Thread bump///

Less than 8 hours until the next race.

I'm not sure why we have a newer thread, probably due to the updated 'how best to run' first post, but please reply to the newer one.
