... looks like your card is too old.

What is "too old", what GPUs are supported?

rebirther is there still a time limit from when we find a top5k reportable prime on SRBase to when we have to report it to the T5k site?

Happened to me previously that I missed the PM at SRBase as I was travelling for work and away from my computer and it got reported anonymously.

I wish that SRBase would enable automatic reporting for users like PrimeGrid does.

BOINC Games has published the sprint project, SRBase was choosen, unfortunately no one got an info at the right time. Nevertheless we have enough work. Preparing more later.

That was a bit naughty of BOINC Games to not forewarn you but it is good you were prepared rebirther. Could we get some shorter tasks to help my weaker CPUs please?

rebirther, I noticed during the last week that some of my computers are showing a predicted run-time for TF gpu tasks of 1 second. This causes the machines to download large numbers of tasks. Is there a way to adjust the predicted run-time?

On the main page there is an item listed called overview

https://www.mersenne.ca/status/tf/0/0/1/10000

but it shows information about TF at Mersenne and not about how we are progressing at SRBase. Can someone explain this chart?

How are we actually going versus SRBase's aims?

I have given up on the Intel ARC 770 and replaced it with a Gigabyte GTX1660 Super 6GB card.

The Intel card is back in its shipping box.

I experimented running it on Einstein - far too slow, BOINC predicted several days per task. Same over at NumberfieldsAtHome.

Why won't this computer get Intel ARC tasks?

Under Your Computers it says:
shinobu INTEL Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics (13004MB) OpenCL: 3.0

In SRBase preferences:
Use INTEL is check marked (note I unchecked both ATI and nVidia)

While Rebirther is adding support for intel ARC you can try to run this.
https://www.mersenne.ca/tf1G/

This is a definite put off:

"do not do this work if you are concerned about credit."

Rebirther will you be adding support for Intel ARC GPUs for the TF application?
