Surely, I am not that bad that you can't work together with me and as such you are leaving us? I am harmless I tell you, harmless...When it is a challenge that TSBT is involved with, there is no time to help other teams. Each to their own I suppose. Having said that, please do not think that I do not appreciate you input to TSBT, I am not sure weather I should crunch for TSBT, SUSA or XS.?
:lol: :lol: I certainly enjoy working with you Pete and it is always a pleasure. For the past week I've been helping XS on Gerasim to get them past Russia Team. Actually, a week ago they had no FB points on Gerasim so I started helping them. When this challenge started I moved to TSBT because the Russians were kicking butt. Now that you guys have it covered I need to return to XS and help them with the quest to take down Russia Team. Of course now the problem is taking down the Russians and holding off TSBT (unlikely) for the top spot. What a tangled web we weave :whistle:

It looks like CoolAtchOk may be waving the white flag. His output has really dropped off :? I've seen him do that in the past where it became apparent that Russia Team wasn't going to win.

I selected only spstarter WU on advice but perhaps better to hear from an expert

I run only the spstarter WU because they have a fairly consistent run times. I've seen Test Separator WU that are very short and the more times the BOINC Client has to load/unload WU the less time it spends crunching. I don't really know how much difference it makes (if any) but I stick with the spstarter WU.

If you calculate the credits/day and don't figure in "dead time" then they pay exactly the same.

My machines are also 64 thread. When running that many threads I've had problems in the past where test separator WU were so short I had trouble getting WU quick enough to keep all threads busy. The project will only give something like 160 WU at a time.

IMHO of course :-)

Well done guys.
I'm in there as well, sort of, in 47th. :oops: But every little helps and I'll try and improve my standing over the next 62hrs.
Clearly TSBT have smashed this challenge out of the park. But it's doing our FB prospects no end of good as well. I think we can be pretty sure that we'll hold onto our third place whatever the rest of 2020 brings.

No

His personal score exceeds Crystal Dream's team score so older points will stay with the team he was on when he earned them

Ugh... If you've been running Gerasim I suggest you reboot your system as soon as your work is done. All my win systems were flaky. Had to reset a couple.

ty .. one of my systems had to reboot a couple of days ago. Went weird, would not bring up task manager, took three reboots to come up correctly ( a blue screen made a brief appearance ). I thought karma was telling me to convert to linux right there and then ( and that is still an ongoing argument ).

I'll be rebooting those boxes and recommend it to others.

Woodles from UBT did well also. He lurks here sometimes :-)

EDIT: could be coincidence but one of my servers won't boot to linux now, which is the default OS. It's stuck on windows until after the sprint and I can fix. Probably a reinstall of linux.
