UK BOINC Team Forum

Hi all,

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.

UPDATE: Daily credit production is looking good




regards and good luck,

Tim

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 .

Probably just me being a bit thick!

How do you set a preference for LLR?. I've got about 100 Seives but no LLRs to work on.

Same looked, but didn't see the option to choose  :(

I had to go to My Account and alter the RieselSieve preferences and tick the "Run test applications?" box before I got the llr's.

Thanks, LLR now starting to download

Not trying to cause trouble or nuffink, but if people haven't registered on the forum, how are they going to know about the crunch.

I mean this is a members only section, isn't it?  :?

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..

Hi Josh,

Yup - you're quite right...which is why this posting is now in the public area...!

In other words, forum members had a heads-up on this in advance, while now, everyone will know about it......!

They've done it to me again, I can't see a Mac version to join in the game

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?

All my other systems are running fine.


Gary.

transferred to the LLRs

1hr 44m quoted, sieves were 49m

Didn't know about this until today but I'm in there now  :D

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 ..

I moved to LLR cos you said they go better on intel further up the thread


but, my manager is counting the remaining time up... not down on the current 2  :shock:

Also shifted to LLRs as they were meant to be faster. Sieves took ~59 minutes, LLRs quoted as 2 hrs 35!

Intel Dual core @2.13 is it best to stick with LLRs or swap back?

I've switched back to the seive project. One of my LLR's completed after 4hours and 25mins and i got 27 credits?

So back to seive i go

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.  

My llr's seem to range from 5 to 50 hours  :shock:  :roll:



Mr Slow Frog

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!

4h 16m now its done a couple

OK, as no one can help with my problem I shall blow up the forum, go to the corner and sulk then join that other UK team  :roll:


Grumpy.

Is it just giving errors on LLR's ?

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 ..
your account .~
Computers on this account ..~
Click on the computer ID ~
then set its location to "work"

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

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.

If it isn't try a post at http://www.rieselsieve.com/forum/ and see if anyone else has come across your little problem!

Looks like theres a few bad WU's about .
http://www.rieselsieve.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1385

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.

I'm back.....after a total reinstall...

Welcome back Sir Cracked

I reckon a few heavy crunchers started early



Im sure my 3600 or so points helped :S

your not wrong there , shot through the roof

We're really spanking it now!

2nd highest RAC now,top looks a little unlikely.......but you never know!

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!
