Should we expect a zero recent average credit?

I would think a restart would not be unexpected...

There is a delay in checking. The calculation in background is still running. Of course I need to check with memtest but will be noticed in news soon. Credits are normal as always.

Looks like all of the new uploaded work units got claimed right away. LOL.

yeah, was not much and old work, the new apps are counting nearly 0 estimated time as always, will try a bigger batch soon.

Glad to hear I helped you!

I use to give each core a task, but I found that giving larger tasks more cores really helped with completing them in a timely fashion.

You can find information on how to do that with this post: https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/forum_thread.php?id=6&postid=3795#3795

You can choose to give each workunit app a different value of cores to use and concurrent tasks to run.

I ended up giving all tasks 4 cores and limited the concurrent instances to (Number of cores/4)-1 so that the TF task would run on the GPU.

I do know about that but do you know about wuprop? wuprop.boinc-af.org/ is a boinc project that you one task per pc and it counts the hours you put in for each application at each boinc project, ie these are my SRBase hours since I started running it counting my SRBase hours:
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - long 92,062.18 215.62
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base 60,467.38 0.00
SRBase TF 57,775.23 5.95
SRBase Riesel Base - short 55,398.58 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - long3 54,583.10 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski Base - short 52,399.33 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - long2 52,092.23 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - average2 51,083.50 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski Base 50,964.62 0.00
SRBase Riesel Base 50,888.92 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - average 50,772.85 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - short 43,424.43 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - average3 38,794.68 0.00

You can see the app and after that is my total number of hours in each app and the last numbers are the number of hours for the last 24 hours.

I will also let my signature come thru this time so if you have them turned off turn them on so you can see the total number of credits I have right now and why getting credits faster isn't my goal anymore. And YES that is REALLY 1.6 Trillion credits!!

mikey

That is a pretty neat project. Thanks for sharing!

That is impressive amount of time on SRbase and the 1.3 Billion in credits is not bad either! :)

What is your current goal?

Everything from S79 is gone now, and this is the last S115 task still in progress. https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/workunit.php?wuid=126959241

Yeah, Iam back to home, sorry, working on the last batch now.

Last batch part1 is loading now.

Does this mean we are almost done with the SRB Long tasks and will move onto something else soon? I'm not complaining as it has been nice to run something besides 3 seconds tasks for awhile but something inbetween would be nice too, at least once in awhile. I think running only the short ones is partly why the website is so hard to connect to sometimes, too many of us all trying to return units at the same exact same moments in time.

We still have long WUs left.

I bought a pre-built refurbished HP Z840 dual socket from a reseller.

Yes! It has been up and running for ~8 months now and has gotten ~63M credits.

A lot of the credits were from TF, but it definitely does CPU tasks well with dual E5-2698 v3 16-core CPUs.

You are doing GREAT with it!! Was it a local to you supplier or not? Either way can I have their name so I can check them out please? I am always looking for newer pc's to increase my crunching with less power than I am using now. I'm still using some older AMD 6 cores and some Intel I7-4??? series cpu's. I do have a few newer ones as well like an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16/32 core pc but the older Intel Xeon pc's I have do need to be replaced with pc's with more cpu cores.

I wish it was a local supplier! I would definitely visit to pick it up directly.

Absolutely! The vendor is https://pcserverandparts.com/.

The only downside I have seen so far is they don't have a lot of post-commercial use Ryzens yet.

I don't understand what you mean. I wanted to run the same task on both GPUs at once. If the dodgy one gives a different result, there's something up.

Or we don't run this project any more is another option.

GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2698 v3 was my latest buy!

Good to know those stats are accurate!

Need more CPU tasks please

I must wait until only a few tasks are left.

Why can't I get these unsent WU ?

I have stopped sending them for a while because of S79.

Is S79 gpu tasks only?

CPU, I will switch the 2 last WUs to my host, then after this we can add a new batch, takes some time.

Are you able to say "Do not send these work units until these other work units are finished"?

Not finished but nearly all WUs sent out, its only a backup. S79 has priority.

I noticed that the Hall of fame list was updated earlier today, but the first post at https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/forum_thread.php?id=157 shows that I haven't found any primes yet.

This seems a bit strange since my profile at https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/show_user.php?userid=3161 says that I've done 54,646 tasks. Those tasks did not include TF credit.

Am I just unlucky, or is it common to test 54000+ candidates and not find any primes?

I am not sure how we are going to complete the goal for S79 with 42K of the n range uncompleted.

I have discussed this yesterday with the CRUS admin. I dont think that we can finish this. Its nearly 3 times longer in the 50-100k range. The deadline is 1d and we have over 7M WUs left. We could complete it up to 80k. This is more realistic.

Is this thread dead? Because it seems to be either ALOT of people crunching here lately or there aren't alot of tasks available right now. I mean it seems every day or so a project with lots of tasks all of a sudden has none for several days to a week or more.

S66 batches are small. We can finish them in 1-2d per batch. If a new batch is loaded the weight will be set to 0 for 1-2 apps to get all hosts to S66. Its possible to process S79 this year too. Sometimes the feeder cant load enough work so it takes some time.

weight 0 = dont send out work for a specific app
