20th June: Website now working again! - and after 21 years UBT is still here and we continue to crunch :-) (PS: I still have no idea where the UBT logo went !)
This section is where you can post topics related to Challenges from other websites, such as Formula-BOINC, SETI-Germany and BOINCstats, as well as project challenges such as from WCG, PrimeGrid et al.
As a Team, we really want to engage as many team members with these challenges, as this gives us a great way of attracting more members to our Team...plus we get to show our strengths as a Team by (hopefully) doing well in each one.
The February '08 Crunch starts at 00:01 on 14th Feb 2008 and lasts until 23:59 on 17th Feb 2008.
Hopefully you're all ready to start crunching on this chosen project....
If not, then please join in...you don't need to register on the forum - just add RieselSieve to your BOINC projects and set everything else to "no new work"....
And let's see how many WUs we can crunch in 4 days.
Put all 5 comps on it so should get around 1400 credits a day .
If you have not done this project before please join in.
Intel chips give good credits on LLR's
AMD's seem better on the sieves .
Tiss only for a few days then you can go back to your normal projects .
Lets show the rest of the world what the number 1 UK team can do .

I suppose having a mini program that sits on your desktop alerting you to a new 'team crunch' would be a good idea for things like that. Random thought of the day..
Having trouble with one of my HT systems, almost all my WU on it seem to be running for a while and then ending in Computation Error, any ideas anyone?
corrrrrr
Just a note to all us older generation chip people
Afer a few days of crunching riesel ......
Any intel chip over P4 2.6 gets more credits per hour on LLR's
The faster the chip the higher the difference ...
Anything smaller/older does better on sieves .
e.g .... P4 2.8 northwood ......LLR's = 5/6 hours =512+credits a day .
sieves = 2 ~ 21/2 hours=256 ~324 credits a day .
P3 800 ......LLR's = 40 hours =76 credits a day
sieves = 4 hours =162credits a day
As far as i know (slap me if im wrong ) the AMD's like sieves more ..
No not faster ...better credit lol ... If it takes you 59 mins for 1 sieve =27 credits .
2 hours 35 for LLR =121~130 credits
2hours 35 mins of sieves give you =67 credits
And also the manager doesn't really know how long your first WU's will take ,
So it thinks a LLR is the same as a sieve ..
Its best if you do a couple of each then work out how much credit you get per hour on them .
I don't think theres two computers out of the many in this forum that would do exactly the same times on project.
If i had a computer that could do LLR's in 2.5 hours on one chip i'd be very very happy.
You're right, it didn't know how long the first LLR WU would take, it guessed at 2:35, actually took 4:44! So I'd need ~128 credits to put it on a par with doing sieves?
Looks like it's about the same for me so I'm leaving it, less for me to screw up!
Run test applications?
This helps us develop applications, but may cause jobs to fail on your computer.
IN riesel prefs ....Set as NO
I put all me tat on sieves (set the location as "Work" )
And set the bigger ones on "home "
You can set each computer by going to ..

Try the error ones on sieves
Yes they are llrs, I'll give your suggestion a try but it just seems strange it is just one system with this problem as my other 4 have not had one error.
edit, just checked and it is already set to no

All my other systems are running fine.
Gary.
The system isn't oveclocked/overheating by any chance? It's the only thing I can see in the forums. If it is drop back to normal speed and see if that cures it.
You might be one of the unlucky ones :shock:
As far as i can work out the first bug kills all the other WU's
So if you still have the problem on that computer ,Might be a good idea to reset the project and try again :?:

Thanks Mikee, it is overclocked but then so are 2 other systems, I'll give UBT - mickyb69's suggestion a go first as Resetting the project is far less painful.

Thanks for that, I'll give that a try.
edit, have reset and it has downloaded all Sieves now so I will leave it at that for now and see how they run.
The crunch officially finished at midnight last night, but I'm sure others have got a load of WU's left over like me, so we should get no.2 RAC, even if it's after the actual crunch!
