Badge hunting for both hpf2 and gfam. efficiency drive.

[yojimbo197]

Yojimbo, just added my other rig to your account, another 8 cores, so 12 cores total from me.
(Cordell=Q6600; Home-PC=2600k)
Only d/l'ed a couple dozen WUs though and says no more tasks available
Cache set to 6 min + 2 add.

Thanks man. I see them. The cache was set for 8 days, but I lowered the check time to 0.05 days. Maybe that will help.

[Yeroon]

I'm on yojimbo197's HPF2 core train, 3 more cores from me.

[OldChap]

With the way they are throwing cores around above, I wouldn't be surprised if we could do that.

potentially if yojimbo needs 335 and team sets 9 days cache but relies on 8 then 335/12= 28 cores = his 10 +fallwind 12 +Rob 8 for 30 total is enough. maybe think of rob's additional 4 as safety. that could free Jeanguy's 20

Fallwind has likely shortened One.shot's HPF2 target by 30+ days in the last 24 hours He may have the potential to add that 36 taking the free total to 56 which would mean we need to find another another 6 cores if we can find them today. 8 to 12 would be a bit safer though.

When you break it down like this it does not seem such a big ask does it?

Edit: ....and when you consider that I think he has 32 cores running now on Gfam that could get HPF2 work now...... and may have 6-8 days of cache by the time that HPF2 finishes and he completes Gfam.

This is definitely plausible.... but I/we really need to see those rig numbers from Mumak's own rigs.

[bluestang]

I can add another 2 core machine.

OC,

I have already moved my 20 cores with Yojimbo but I will support any plan you come up with that gives good odds that both Yojimbo and Mumak can get their HPF2 sapphire. Just let me know where my 20 cores is needed for your plan to work.

Yojimbo, both of the transferred rigs have downloaded a little over one page of new HPF2 WUs (60 to 70 WUs each). No more new HPF2 WUs being downloaded. Getting message in log stating: No Tasks available for HPF2. This computer has reached a daily quotas of 5 tasks" . Can you please check your default profile settings.

[jeanguy2]

Fallwind,

You can take cruncher "a" back at your discretion.

We have now reached the sapphire level for HPF2. We needed today 65 days runtime - 43 PV days = 22 days to reach our goal. We were credited 26 days today so we have an extra four days runtime in the bank.

Thank you very much for your support with HPF2 , the 12 cores of your rig "a" were truly a Godsend

I set the default cache to 8 days and check for new work every 0.05 days. Not sure why you guys are having a problems getting new work.

Post note: I increased the space held on the hard drive and the % on hard drive. Lets see if that works.

[Mumak]

My current GFAM status: 1:225

I have the following machines:
8-thread, 430 WUs in cache, ~4h WU runtime
8-thread, 300 WUs, ~6.5h runtime
4-thread, 200 WUs, ~4.7h runtime

[OldChap]

Approx 70 days
approx 80 day
approx 38 days

Wonderful! needs 135 days approx, 32 cores running = a little over 4 days to badge GFAM

If you change your profile to accept HPF2 work the existing machines can dl the work for the cache.

These machines will likely get 8 days working on HPF2 and are good for 250 days

Jean Guy: if you take your 20 here too you will likely get 11 days work into this = 220 days

Fallwind: If you take 24 cores to this it is rather tight I think but possible. More and he is good.

The above assumptions are based on 8+ day caches

Gentlemen, talk among yourselves.... The final decision is yours.

[Mumak]

Some of the WUs in my cache have an earlier deadline, so I'm not sure if I can process them all on time. But I still believe it should be sufficient to get to 2 years.
I have changed my default profile to accept HPF2 tasks too. But I have only 6 days of work finished there.

EDIT: Though all my rigs currently have buffers for 10 days of computing, the maximum deadline is in 7 days, so I'm sure I won't be able to process all of them.

Yo, Both rigs have now downloaded the cache I had set for them (4.0 and 0.5). Maybe these rigs had to return some WUs or a certain time period go by before the requested to be processed cache would load to the requested level. Can you post a listing of the cores you now have working for you. I just want to make sure you are set before I move over to Mumak to help him with is HPF2 sapphire quest. Here is what OC posted:

[Mumak]

HPF2 sapphire for me ? I never thought that would be possible. Guys, really there's no need for this, I can live without one badge
But it's up to you, if you'd like to try such challenge

[Yeroon]

My brother is will to toss his 8 cores at this badge hunting expedition as well.
He can't do that till this evening (I think, he might be able to do it remotely).
Attach those cores to Mumak for HPF2? I'll stick with Yojimbo until the badge is owned or hes in the clear and help is needed elsewhere.

Yeah, but I kinda like HWiNFO

So far I have my 10 cores+ 5 computers. Not sure how many cores that is.

You are showing 6 rigs and 24 active cores right now, Goto your BOINC stat page here and look for "Numbers of hosts" in left column. Then Look across to its immediate right and click on the number of active host (in Bracket). this will give you this listing. it takes up to 24 hours for newly attached host to show up. Likely tonight's BOINC Update. I will hang with you until we confirm you have sufficient cores to reach your HPF2 sapphire goal.

[OldChap]

http://boincstats.com/en/stats/15/ho...t/0/0/810865/1

6 showing up so far for 20 cores so likely more to see next update

Just by the way, Bok (Free-DC) has had another drive failure and is working to change the frequency of his db updating to take some of the strain off

slow again

[bluestang]

I see only 20 cores so far...2 of those 6 machines are only 2 threads each.

[OldChap]

corrected. X5260 is 2 core x2 = 4c

[OldChap]

CHART now shows 4 days remaining for HPF2

That would be sometime on the 10th (another day less)

I still think that the 9th will be end day.

[bluestang]

I can move a E8500 (2 threads) over to someone....Mumak or yojimbo?

Couldn't wait...Mumak it is!

[OldChap]

We are approaching the end game

I make the following request because the end of new HPF2 work units being issued now seems certain to come before actual GFAM badges are achieved

We can do nothing about getting more GFAM work but we can make errors by jumping too soon so.....

ALL you guys seeking badges please post your Total days achieved so far, and as much detail as possible about number of rigs running etc. EDIT: Check my posts below and correct errata

Helpers: Please post your intentions and details of how many cores you will give to whom over the next few days.

Inside 2 days all helpers should be in their final teams and loading for bear so push those caches up to max.

I think it would be helpful to make posts now about the 3 guys needing the most help but can add more if this works well. I will edit those as folks post their intentions.

[OldChap]

Mumak

Target GFAM ~126 days
Team for GFAM =
self 8 cores with 56 days work Max
self 8 cores with 56 days work max
self 4 cores with 28 days work max
Rob.B 8 cores with 56 days
OC 4 cores with 24 days

GFAM Badge 10th June 18:00 (UTC) less PV's estimated. To maximise caches for HPF2 some GFAM wu's will need to be carefully dumped on the 8th

The current team 32 cores should be loaded > 8 days with HPF2 upon badging = 250 days

HPF2 requirement is 724-250= 474 days. cores added today get 12 days per, tomorrow get 11 days per, Saturday they get 10 per and on Sunday may not get any depending on when the wu's dry up
Team for HPF2 =
self 20 cores
Rob.B 8 cores
OC 4 cores
yeroon 3 cores
below = Not coming off of GFAM so able to start HPF2 straight away but I am going to say might only get 10 days per as a safety net.
fallwind 36 cores


Sign up below to join this team's quest for HPF2 stating number of cores please. in addition to the above team he needs 40 cores minimum

[OldChap]

One shot

Target GFAM 185 days (guess info needed)
Team for GFAM =
self 12 cores
Rob.B 8 cores
yojimbo 4 cores
OC 32 cores

GFAM Badge 10th June 02:00 (UTC) less PV's estimated. May need to carefully assess cache on the 8th. Yojimbo needs to jump on the 8th maybe even 23:00 UTC on 7th to his own account

The current team but with 60 cores should be loaded > 8 days with HPF2 upon badging = 480 days

HPF2 requirement is 360 days so current team can achieve this with a 6 day cache (but we will hope for a bit more)
Team for HPF2 =
self 12 cores
Rob.B 16 cores
OC 32 cores

Fallwind: 24 hours will have brought down the total for 1.s. with your 36 cores but I think he is better than good now.

[OldChap]

Yojimbo

HPF2 requirement is 325 days (guess, need info)

Team =

self 14 cores (soon)
bluestang 12 cores
fallwind 12
+ other rigs (needs editing)

11 days available to get 325 as of today so a total of say 30 cores needed. Probably already has >38 running now so probably all good here also (awaiting confirmation)

I think that JeanGuy is here too which would be overkill perhaps...Please confirm
