The Scottish Boinc Team

I need some recommendations. Which Linux version is the fastest one with a GUI installation procedure? I'm monitoring some NFS@Home Linux computers, arch Linux seems the one but I do struggle to find the GUI installation version. What about mint? Please assume the Linux will only be used to run Boin...

Calculations above will have to be adjusted for Q=5100M.

Anyone here has the ability to create a 7 days challenge at the boinstats page?

2,1124+ sieve is in progress.

As i stated before, mostly on NFS@Home, where now help is needed on the big siever to sieve two of the "Gang of 31" composites from the 60's table. Sometimes i just do some prime hunting on private servers.

Last year we went back to Sicily but for 10 days in Castel di Tusa and for a few days in Palermo. I would like to live in Sicily when I get to retire. Houses are cheap, community fantastic but the best is the food and weather.

Numbers 2,1123+ and 2,1124+, respectively, former sieving and latter queued. I haven't asked Greg how further we will sieving but I suppose both to 5000M. 2,1123+ is up to S2p1123_4403746_0 (front end, 4403M).

Each wu is sized 2000. So (5000-100)/0.002=2.45M wus.

Happy New Year!!!

Hey guys. We are now sieving two integers from the cunningham tables added back in the 60's. See details here: https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/forum_thread.php?id=550&postid=2360#2360 Any boost or raid for a week or so is much appreciated (16eV5 - the 130 credits wu ones). Please note if yo...

I'm still slowly running NFS but soon there will be a new priority in life.

NFS@Home

Apologies for the delay on the reply. On the first throw there were some glitches on the server side but Greg did some tweakings, now it seems better. Since you guys are bunkering too for a prospect sprint challenge just be gentle. There is plenty of work which is generated per demand. I did not see...

Was wondering if you guys could give NFS@Home a boost on the 16e small, only in particular with two integers" 911_97m1" and "3_10_300m1". They are both important to respective projects. First will have 184,000 Wu's, not sure yet about the second one, I suspect more than 300,000 w...

Apologies, I've been away from the forum although still crushing for the team. Was the above actioned or you still need help. Long time since I've submitted any prime number...

No worries and apologies.

Indeed it was a fantastic challenge. I've been running my old laptop 24/7 jumping from the big Siever to the 16e small, where most of the time the datasets are used as baseline to improve GPU client (post processing, done outside boinc remit).

Will go back once again to Sicily in June for a full week.

Loved to run Lifemapper and Cuboids.

Same here but someone like a father to me passed away, long time ago.

Do you have a reason behind why you joined actively running distributed computing?

Started back in the 90's using distributed computing even before Boinc. Someone at university was running SETI. Quick online search and lots of projects to start with. My biggest contribution at that time was for United Devices and some math projects. Still a big fan of the standalone clients. Think...

All the best Alez. Also I'm with you, we have now reached a society that we need to be more open minded, drop prejudice. Don't be afraid to speak with anyone particular your partner. Finally, I feel sorry for you being married with a nurse but shit happens...haha.

Glad to be last again amoung our team.

Great, server is down.

Late Merry Christmas!
Dinner was traditional salted cod fish with boiled patotoes and some Portuguese wine bought on Lidl. Before Christmas we visited Bath city, UK. One of the meals there was in a Greek restaurant.

Hehe. We are still dreaming about the time we won the Euro.

Well, regarding Portugal, after 15 mins of watching last Sunday match I gave up. Well deserved Serbia.we never learn from our own mistakes.

I’ll stay with PrimeGrid since colab works and interacts much better than Collatz. Latter is painful…

So K80’s on Collatz?!

I wanted to try Collatz but I can’t restore my account….if anyone is looking for some hours I can run it under your account. We just need to share the weak key with Steve so we can send me 10 colab instances.

Whereabouts will make more sense to deploy the colab K80’s. My plan was to daily trigger them but I suppose PrimeGrid is covered.

davidBAM wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 1:37 pm What times are you getting on pps-sieve on the Colab k80 please @pinhodecarlos - 1-up ??

1100 seconds but not sure if 1 or 2 at the same time, probably two, maybe Steve can let us know since I am running his colab versions. Quicker if you chase me up through WhatsApp.

Think I’m blocked on colab, nothing my morning, nothing now, will try tomorrow to turn on the sessions.

Big dump coming? Let me hide…

Just to let you guys know I’m kicking PRM xxxx without owning any GPU…haha.

My colab sessions are run like this: 3 hours start between 08:00-09:00 (GMT) and 3 hours start run between 21:00-22:00 (GMT). 700k pending. Should average a 700k per day. Not much but it’s the least I can do.

In with 7 colab free sessions (K80’s). Already bumping up my pendings. Go go go

Can’t go through level one for ages!

Milton Keynes is growing ever faster, seems to have swallowed Irthlingborough by now...

Profile updated. Lots of vandalism there, even my car was affected so we decided to leave. Stays in our heart though, beautiful place away from big cities.

Whereabouts are you in U.K.? MK here.

Cleaning house in the morning. Walk on the park afternoon and now reading Robert Harris “An Officer and a Spy”.
Tomorrow morning collect an apple cake for the Sunday Easter lunch.

I can already see riots here in Milton Keynes.
