For whatever reason, my quad E7-8867 box won't max out all cores if HT is turned on. I've seen this happen in the past and not sure WTF is going on. Sometimes it would run at 100% and then drop down to some other number and stay there. It's not thermal, power, RAM or HDD space; all checked out fine. Sometimes I wonder if it's Server 2012 R2 related. Am tempted to upgrade it to 2016 or switch it to Ubuntu; but that would mean losing a lot of work units. Since it wants to sit at 70%, I've gone the conservative route and set BOINC to 89 CPUs.
Added a 4P E5-4640 v4 and, to the best of my knowledge, have all 96 cores humming along at 100%.
You want me to swing by and pick something up for you?
Say hello to 9th place in Cosmo.
I'm only about an hour away, may take the wife for a ride sat. and see if the prices are in line with the lint in my wallet heh
You're a beast and we love you.
I don't think BOINC is all that complicated... but the VirtualBox stuff is REALLY starting to piss me off. I mean, FFS, I use VBox all the time, but this shit is supposed to "just work" and it most certainly doesn't. The regular non-vbox BOINC stuff is easy peasey.
Rank 4 has never before been so coveted as in this year’s Marathon. OCN would love to keep this position and would have earned it, without a doubt. Team China (#5) and SG (#6) are two teams who are fighting for every point. Once those two get into their stride, the hard won advantage will begin to shrink. Whilst AF continue to secure #7, it’s gone eerily quiet at CNT (#8). The Czechs love to bunker and lead their opponents into a false sense of security. RKN (#9) and OcUK (#10) are still having to throw the dice to decide the order of rankings. [H]ard|OCP (#11) who are coming closer are also bringing their over-sized dice to the table.
To keep it as transparent as possible, we will publish the suggestions of every team when announcing the final project.
I think I call it a day with LHC; no more work since a day or so and still some pending validations.

The further they got into the Pentathlon, the harder it became. They invested a lot at the Marathon and reaped the rewards. What a contrast to last year. There, they claimed their best ranking in the Sprint. At the very least, they are showing their rivals an ability for tactical changes which isn’t something all teams can call their own.
The BOINC Pentathlon is an innovative cross-project competition for teams in the BOINC world and runs for two weeks. Various skills of the teams are tested.
- Mobilization: who recruits the most active crunchers in the own team for the Pentathlon?
- Communication: which team arranges the best strategy and tactics?
- Strategy: clever resource sharing in terms of the overall stats or concentration on few disciplines?
- Flexibility: who copes best with different requirements of the projects (e.g., CPU vs GPU) and reacts fastest to the announcement of the projects?
- Tactics: which team manages fast project switching best?
