EVGA Overtake

The flexibility of this team is unparalleled apparently. I just wish I could fold 24/7.

No... we are about neck and neck at current.


When GPU QRB goes full swing we shall see what happens then. We are also at the beginning of the month... so they have a bit of a boost going on.

It's time to reload. :D
 
My production is down a bit due to lack of 8102's. I haven't seen one in almost a week now.

I bet it has been over a month since I've seen an 8102. :rolleyes: I didn't think they were in existence any more...

Would you like the p7647 SMP WU my x6 is chewing on with a 25' TPF a 1.5day run time all for 10k points?

/cry me like a river
 
Heads up everyone, they are well and truly back on the Radar, current overtake is 5.1 Months:eek:

*looks at calendar* yup. First half (or third) of each month is bucks crunch time. Nothing to worry about, drops down like a rock once everyone finishes their monthly dues.

The Chimp Challenge is coming up too....so even if they keep it up...it'll take longer than 5.1 months.
 
Noticed this the other day while snooping around the OC site. Currently have my daily rig and laptop chuggin away.

Maybe I can borg my dads 2 computers...I'd just have to convince him it wasn't the government watching him...
 
They are spiking ~5M ppd higher than they did last month, so I don't think I would dismiss them just yet.
 
GPUs don't have qrb yet. It was in public beta for a while, but now its gone again.

I'm not sure whats causing this spike. Somebody should look into it.

Bucks spike is normally over by now however they have upped the points requirements.

They have about 30 folders more than they do at the start of a normal month.

GPU QRB is available if you run with the beta flag

We are also missning some heavy hitters

uh oh. Sounds like I'm leaving points on the table

Maybe, maybe not.

The current beta is very different...
It is a new OpenCL core built from the ground up using OpenMM 5...
Both AMD and nvidia Use OpenCL as it requires JIT compiling and cuda does not support that.

This is the first viable AMD core in a very long time.
Warning... roles have been reversed. Nvidia uses excessive cpu for gpu folding on the new core due to their poor OpenCL implementation. AMD uses < 1% cpu.

QRB is enabled currently but the base system is higher up and the Work units are chewy.
22k atoms explicit. This causes lower end gfx cards to have lower ppd but the higher end ones do better. My 7970 gets 45k ppd and the GTX 580 is about the same... kepler is still trailing due to its castrated gpgpu arch.

I suggest starting a new thread if you want to discuss this further...
 
I've only got 1 machine aimed at Team 33. We have a small team, and most are pointed there.

I going to drive over and aim more. You folk have been a lot of help to me.

It won't do a whole bunch, but probably about 400k ppd starting in a couple days.

That "whole bunch" still puts you inside the top 25 PPD for the team, Welocome aboard

this is very interesting and welcome news, watching for that thread
 
Well despite my kepler (3xGTX680 4GB)'s castrated GPGPU, I'll install client and point all the 3 GPUs at the team.

680 is still tops for non-beta GPU WUs.

Technically Kepler is not bad at compute. The architecture itself is faster than Fermi. But, on consumer cards, NVidia decided to nerf compute capability significantly (primarily by giving them low memory bandwidth, but also in drivers (see CUDA performance of K5000 for example, using quadro drivers)).

With QRB, Titan has the potential to be insane.

Yeah, I wasn't happy about that which I figured out after making my move from 570's to a 680. LiveNLearn, I guess.

What is QRB, by the way?

Quick Return Bonus.

...the bonus points one gets for returning WUs early (like with SMP/bigadv units). But now for GPU work
 
Bear in mind that the current GPU QRB is not insanely high like the short-lived 8057 project.
 
I think it's funny that you guys had a spike in points and someone over at evga said something about it and some H members posted about how we were jumping to conclusions and we shouldn't accuse H of cheating yada yada yada... Seems like jebo is insinuating the same thing...we have our march madness contest running like we do every year.
 
Didn't really see a "conclusion" over here. Especially not a "cheaters" conclusion.
Just a healthy distaste for being behind EVGA......even for one day. :D
