Primegrid 2020 Challenge #1

.. and still in third
and on the individual side davidBAM continues to hold first with Bowmore close behind

[davidbam]

Hmm ... no denying first place individual be nice. Maybe some of the Pros will just hire clout from Amazon Web Services though?

Third placed team will ruffle feathers

[Gibson Praise]

There is an entire thread devoted to Google CoLab http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.p ... 839#135424 .. mostly devoted to GPU use. Haven't seen anyone try to abuse the CPUs yet.

On a one day challenge I think we might catch them by surprise.

edit: Woohoo! I am back into the top 50 - which for me is fabulous!

[Bryan]

I'm starting to get run over! We're still holding 3rd though.

[davidbam]

I'm starting to get run over!

Me too

We are about to drop to 5th. Any assistance greatly appreciated

Hmmm I'm running 321-sieve but I don't seem to be showing on the Challenge page for the team (or as an individual for that matter).

Checked on the Primegrid Account Page and I am deffo showing as TSBT.

According to BAM (not David) I have done 195,773 so far today.

@jockmacmad2 You are #66 https://www.primegrid.com/challenge/202 ... users.html

[davidbam]

We dropped to 5th - now back at 4th. I've even got 8WU running on my laptop but I doubt if that is the reason.

Laptop crunching not recommended, I know

[Gibson Praise]

If you can crunch on the laptop, well I just started an old i7-3770. Might get ten or twenty workunits.

[davidbam]

We are just a tad competitive on here

[davidbam]

The laptop actually does quite well, 8 threads and 80mins each so 1 WU every 10mins

We are just a tad competitive on here

Speak for yourself, there isn't a competitive bone in my body

Well done all, 5th in the Team Place which is awesome against the PrimeGrid Professionals. We had 3 in the Top 20, 5 in the Top 100.

I got first individual place with more than a little help from Bryan who sacrificed a Top 5 finish for himself to hep me in last 7-8 hours - many, many thanks. I'd been having a ding-dong battle staying just ahead of RFGuy from [H] team so Bryan stepped in to make sure of things

[Gibson Praise]

Heckuva showing. 4th was tantalizingly close!

[davidbam]

We could have made 3rd with a concerted effort, I reckon.

At risk of blowing my own trumpet, I have to point out how much btsk helped me - I had 480 threads running flat-out in 24 instances on 18 machines within 9-10mins of the start. btsk ticklers also ensured all had a full day's work within 30mins (and it did require a bit of tickling even though PG is an extremely well-run project. Okay, so Bryan helped a bit at the end but it really was a flying start
