When I first visit the work unit at around 6 Am UTC today, the deadline is at 6 AM UTC tomorrow.
But now whenI visit it agian, the deadline move to 16:20 UTC tomorrow. So it's always move away and seem to never timeout.

You were always processing that task, so BOINC moves it backwards.

Cool!

Has there been a real answer to this?

I'm seeing that whenever BOINC syspends an SRBASE work unit to run another project, the SRBASE unit is resumed from the beginning. This is wasted work unless I'm only running this one project.

Are there any plans to fix checkpointing so that it works correctly?

Thanks.

No work... possibly reserve larger bases/larger exponents to keep us busy? For example R1025 until 2M. Or get larger ranges for example R747 from 300k to 500k.

Iam still waiting for sieve files from yoyo for the recommended bases. The biggest available file is only S51. I grabbed all the 400-500k with 1k left. I will setup the rest pending bases today after the server restart.

Sorry for the delay, much work to to. I will setup one today.

Update:

new work is up

Hi Reb! I hope you are on the lookout that new mandatory updates will be coming this week?

I have blocked them with update manager. I hope this is working.

I am not so sure. Here is the result of a machine with AVX-512s:

Using zero-padded FMA3 FFT length 560K, Pass1=448, Pass2=1280, 5 threads, a = 3

FMA3 is not AVX-512.

Do the CPU apps use AVX-512 if available?

Is it possible to have it all? I mean let users choose in Project Preferences which WUs to check off to run based on their GPU? This way slow GPUs can pick the short WUs and fast GPUs can pick the long WUs. Or is that too much of a pain to setup on the server to feed proper WUs based on that selection?

yes and no, we have started from the lowest range and will end at the highest.

Maybe for higher ranges instead of going to 71 bits from 70 just go straight to 72 or 73 instead. You will have to make some trials for timings.

How would people here in general feel about doing lower n, breadth first to max bit ie n>96.83M to n<=120M to 78 bit? I know it eventually is a huge increase in testing time, but does it really make a difference for you as a user when it comes to supporting this project or not?

I'm asking, because if we really want to benefit and boost this project, running that suggested n range, to 78 bit, is the way to move forward. I know it will steal some of the low hanging fruits. What does each user prefer in terms of short or long running tasks?

I reckon Rebirther is the one who takes the final decision, but it is seriously as little as changing one setting in the .ini file and then everything from work creation to validation will work the same, even if we decide to run multiple bits per workunit.

The offer Rebirther, that I gave in a private message, still stands, when it comes to creating the next bit range, if you wont go all remaining bits up to 78, but breadth first and increase by 1 bit per workunit - all we have to do, is to agree with George that we can reserve and keep everything in that range untill we reach 78 bit.

Has the new way of showing progress, made it possible to have a mix of bits?

I understand the need to go breadth first, but we also have to use our ressources to best help Primenet and as mentioned in private message, going breadth first, but completing the range n>96.83M to n<=120M to 78 bit, one bit at a time, wont be difficult and I will no doubt help you do it flawlessly :)

Everyone with an oppinion or enlightment, please let me hear what you think, preferably from both slow and fast GPU users :)

Collatz is the worst example. Making credit like collatz will attract all the point whores and cheaters.

Ahaha! +1

Collatz is inflated.

by a factor of 1.527 - this is roughly what I'd expect, perhaps as high as 1.6 to match PPS Sieve and Moo credits (based on what I remember !)

I would set TF daily credits a bit lower than PPS-SV ones so that we'll get only users that are interested in science here.

Any idea when there will be more of these? I am just a hair short of the next badge level. :)
