They are looking at three protein targets at once which have short runtimes !

Not much bunkering time - only a couple of hours.
But I'll get a few dozen cores onto it.
We currently are 4th in the FB Marathon and although 3rd might be a bit of a reach, unless TAAT really have given up, we certainly want to hold onto 4th, so it won't be wasted effort.

... or maybe not

P3DN testosterone levels are clearly very high so that's great as they can't improve on their FB Marathon position. From a purely FB stance, this challenge is soaking up a lot of their CPU power to let us speculate on next sprint. They did this in the Javelin remember - a gratuitous show of unnecessary force

Best crunching a little to keep a wee buffer for 4th in the marathon

We might need to crunch more than a little: SUSA aren't really bothering with FB this year but are making quite an effort on this challenge. They are averaging 28K Cr/hr, which with 122hrs to go, and them just 3.2M behind us in the marathon could bring them very close.

Going to be a challenge with only the 2 of us really on this. You're currently 54 th in the challenge, I'm back in 66th and the team is 15th. I hope a few are secretly squirreling away a bunker or two ? The German teams are hammering each other on this, but Mumps is leading the individual stakes and driving SUSA forward.

I'm confident our response will strengthen as the the threat gets more real. We don't want some stupid OTT P3DN! contribution here but we do need to see off SUSA.

No idea , but I don't think so as all my systems are running it with only 1 free core per system. My laptop was running 3 tasks whilst streaming data from 2 different oil rigs and running the various programs for data process without being stressed.

Exactly, whilst P3DN have a bitch fight over this they are eyes off the ball for the next FB sprint, although they don't really seem to be good at bunkering and seem to be hurting at the recent defeats.

@davidBAM Is there some slack in the bunkering for the next sprint to stick my rentals on here for a few days before returning them to bunkering duty for the team ?

I've searched the forum and the rocket chat board and didn't see any discussion about L3 cache on this project, but that doesn't mean this isn't the one. I did see it discussed with NFS but I think there was another project also. Aarum(?) yacked about it somewhere

Like you, I remember it giving us real problems in the Pentathlon although WCG MIPS was the real L3 Cache hog (4Mb per WU)

@Alez I've got an uptick in your productivity by adding 36 threads but - perhaps significantly - these are across a bunch of different systems and use only 25% of available threads. The project app has changed too though as it goes from 100% complete back to 66% complete at least once before it really completes.

Credits are all over the place as well with some WU paying well over others for similar run-times. I've seen P3D Cluster as your wingman on several WU and at least the Ryzen 3600 has significantly faster run-times :P :P I like that :dance:

They are running 2 different types of units now as the server was getting hammered with just the small ones. The 3CL ones are short, the Eprot should be 5-6 hours. That could mess the scheduler in the manager. My Ryzon's are doing well and surprisingly my old Xeon . The i7 etc not so well.
I'll probably stick with the competition at least until the end of the weekend to try and help maintain a buffer in FB marathon.

SUSA has no interest in FB this year. As for Mumps, he's probably not even paying attention to this challenge, but he is working toward his 100 million MM so he won't go away through the end of this year. You should figure that into your Marathon calculations.

That is an option I thought about but passed on because of the whole FB team switching thingy going on. I won't do it, but have at it if you like. I would let him know the possible repercussions of such a move because Mumps isn't easily hidden and I'm not sure he really wants to get involved in all that mess.

It was a compliment towards Mumps on how much his individual contribution is. The lad is laying down some serious numbers and number 1 in this competition.

how about a worldwide table where you are #1 - ncoded.com is renting 9 gpu and is at #3 with less than a full 24hr period. https://www.boincstats.com/stats/15/user/list/12/0/0

#1 is unlikely TBH as stoneageman will have a lot more hardware on it

I think #32 or #33 might be the best you can expect on this @Alez - the guys in front are returning meaningful numbers & there may even be guys behind (such as @PecosRiverM or Mega for instance)

SUSA will pass us on the Marathon anyhow if Mumps is on a mission so it is really 5th place that we will be defending
