Badge hunters: About 11 days to get Computing for Sustainable Water

[bluestang]

Marti..was finally able to get that 2600k switched over to you.
PC name is "home-pc" and it pulled 49 HCC WU right away @ 57 min each. Switch it over to CFSW only now and let's see what we get to help ya

[0ne.shot]

changes will take at least till midnight utc to take effect. when we get cfsw wu we will tell you and all you have to do is switch our pcs to a profile which is exclusively cfsw.

Thanks. I set the profile to CFSW only to both devices added today. It should work now.

[haschioz]

one.shot, have you got the "if no work is available for my project send me other work" box ticked as well? that would override any choice of projects before (especially now as there are few cfsw wu being sent)

Edit: got a cfsw at 11:28 am. nothing since.

Hey ... that really is Xtreme
I remeber seeing posts here on XS posts about folks seeing how low they could go ... maybe find it and necrothread?

And I thought my numbers where low.

The profile the 2 devices are one are set to CFSW only and not to add work from other projects if no work is available from preferred project.

[OldChap]

I think I only got about 1 days worth across all rigs today and that when Martjin did his daily switch from exclusively CSFW to mix HCC and CFSW for a couple of hours.

Maybe you want to leave two of mine on that profile and 2 not and we will see if there is any difference Martjin

[Snow Crash]

I picked up about 12 hours total for werdwerdus today ... I'm going cross-eyed on that freaking Update button
Unfortunately I am remoting in to that machine and while I can launch TurboV I can never get it to the forground so I can downclock.

been there, remote overclocking sitting at school in computers class ftw

[werdwerdus]

looks like some tasks had expired.. now I'm looking to be short of the badge. I'm going to try downclocking 2 of my rigs more but they are already on the lowest multi so I'll have to muck around with bclock. So it may or may not be stable...

I'll try again to get my i3-2100 to hold a multiplier change. It's so strange that whenever I change to multi it resets after applying and rebooting.
edit: never mind it doesn't have any tasks in progress so no point now

[haschioz]

i am idling since evening of the 29th, so you can switch it to hcc+cfsw. they just dont send many wu out there.

[OldChap]

If all those machines running now have a 1 day (must be less than 2 days) cache. Try putting them back on the HCC + CFSW mix. I don't get a lot but with this setting I seem to get a few which across 4 machines total around a day or so.

Edit: Just checked them all...total of some 60+ hours

[Rob_B]

One.shot and Martijn, can you put my crunchers on HCC and CFSW again. Both are idle now. (simracingwcg1 and simracingmedia2)

[werdwerdus]

ok I have switched over all macines with no work to HCC + cfsw, make sure you set the cache locally to 1 day + 0.1 day. we can still hope...

how do we know when all work units are finished for the project?

[werdwerdus]

Wow it is going to be SOOO close. I downclocked myles-pc to its minimum multiplier, it was at 2.2ghz now at 1.4ghz. That might buy me about 3-4 extra days. I couldn't get any of my other rigs to boot with a lowered bclock and they are already at minimum multiplier. Any suggestions? If I could get i3-530-win7 to a lower bclock I could probably make the badge. My i7-930 motherboard won't allow a bclock below 133 (but it goes up to 250 or 400 or something )

I guess most of my day off Monday will be hitting that update button!

[haschioz]

wish you best of luck werdwerdus!

[werdwerdus]

1:347:19:58:27 currently, according to Boinctasks I have about 8.75 days left in cache

[OldChap]

Get your team to move to 1.7 days cache and put them on a permanent HCC + CFSW profile. This is currently still giving me work in dribs and drabs

Need an update from Martjin

You too One Shot

EDIT: At a guess I would say that when it was set to be on both HCC and CFSW between my 4 rigs I got around 4 days of work done in the past 20 hours....doesn't sound like much from 28 cores but with the paucity of wu's available I am quite happy with that.

Rigs will start to become idle in the next hour or so which is why I am saying set it to both work types and leave it there because it seems I got nothing at all for the last 12 hours

OC Twopointfive all for the permanent change please

I'm currently at 52:06:38:17 for CFSW. I have all my PCs (2) set to HCC and CFSW and I haven't received many tasks. I'm going to create another profile for my A6 3650 to crunch on CFSW tasks only when it receives them. I kind of regret giving up those ~600 tasks now.

Done and done. Looks like i've been getting some work too! only 1 task for WD, but a few for Martijn!

[OldChap]

Maaaaartjiiiin....Ive run out of work ...... Need your input!

2 rigs empty, 1 wu on another and last rig gets idle cores in 80 mins

[Martijn]

You're on HCC/CFSW again

No time for an update, but I'm on 1y334 days with only 3 pages of pendings and 3 pages in progress. I don't think I'm going to make it, sadly. We'll know for sure in about 5 days.

[OldChap]

Well my friend, it won't be for want of trying

I would say we may know before then but I will hang in until next weekend if we are getting anything at all over the next few days

[werdwerdus]

got 1 more work unit on the z77 rig so they are still out there just gotta get lucky and catch 'em
