WooHoo! I hit 150 Million Cobblestones in BOINC overall today.

Whom all is doing the PrimeGrid New Moon challenge starting tomorrow? http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=5683&nowrap=true#76404
I was thinking about it. Anyone else?
I forgot to switch over and I'm swamped at work.
It appears our last minute contributions to Docking and eOn has paid off in Formula-BOINC. We have the max points in both of those. Looks like we still have a lot of work to do if we want to even try for 1st place in our League.
I ended up finding a few minutes to program my "at" job and switch all my hosts to PrimeGrid / Cullen at 15:45 US/Eastern (two minutes after the challenge started). The majority of my crunching hosts have hyperthreading disabled so I'll be interested to see how they perform.
Well you beat me b a long shot I was only 6 hrs. late getting them started, Had a emergence at work about 1 hr before the start time and I was not able to get them going on the challenge until 6 PM Pacific
Grandpa, you might consider using an "at" job in the future. I did the following for both recent challenges.
Convert UTC start time to local time.
- Grab the date from their site, in this case May 20th 2014, 19:43 UTC
- Remove extraneous text like "th" and the comma
- Run "date -d May 20 2014 19:43 UTC"
- Grab output and use it for "at" job, in this case "Tue May 20 15:43:00 EDT 2014" for my systems based in US/Eastern timezone
- Run "at -t 05201543" (MMDDhhmm)
- Enter path to script you want to run.
- Hit Ctrl-D
I have a single host which is trusted by all my other hosts using SSH keys. I run the "at" job on that trusted host which copies over a enable-primegrid script to each host and runs it. Worked like a charm. I now have 772 cores running PrimeGrid.
I already have an at job in place for the exact time this challenge is over. I do not "abort" the tasks, but I set the "nomorework" flag and resume all my other projects at the same time.
Awesome! It's beer and tamales time!We kicked some serious butt on the latest PrimeGrid challenge:
Friends,
As an Admin/Forum Moderator of the Milkyway project I have been given advanced notice that their NSF grant has not been renewed and the project is in jeopardy of ending.
Fairly soon a major fundraiser will begin in hopes of raising $40,000.
I would like to see the Knights take this on as a personal goal to help out--start saving any pennies you have.
I will pass any info along as it comes.
Pete
