[Gilthanis]

I have added two new [H] created challenges for the sake of stress testing the projects ability to handle load. I encourage everyone to join in as we are seeing if they are worth adding to the DC-Vault.

http://boincstats.com/en/stats/challenge/team/chat/611 1/5-1/10
http://boincstats.com/en/stats/challenge/team/chat/613 1/12-1/17

 

[DooKey]

Good deal. I'll connect some cores.

 

[Gilthanis]

I have added the PrimeGrid challenges sponsored by the project for the year. I am also organizing this years list by month instead of by project. I feel this will make it easier to see what is coming up.

 

[Hagrid]

Good deal. I'll connect some cores.

+1.

I am still new to this but found that its pretty easy to do.

 

[Gilthanis]

EDGeS challenge has begun. Please report in the EDGeS thread any problems or issues you find. This will help with the assessment on whether it is fit to be added to the DC-Vault.

http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1041270072#post1041270072

 

[Gilthanis]

Our Convector challenge has begun and Convector did launch work today as well. Please post any issue you find with the project in this thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1041352612#post1041352612

I also added a challenge for GPUGrid this month.

 

[Gilthanis]

I added a PrimeGrid challenge for February. This is not part of the yearly series. This challenge has a goal of finding primes in the top 5000. Winners basically get a special badge next to their other badges. http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=6074#82367

 

[Gilthanis]

Thanks, I put a lot of time into them.

 

[Gilthanis]

I added the Constellation, GPUGrid, and the SAT challenges for Feb.

 

[Gilthanis]

February enigma challenge added.

 

[Gilthanis]

This is just a reminder to the people running the Prime Grid challenge. The only sub projects that will have possibility of finding primes are the LLR work units. The sieves won't find a prime and therefore you should not run the sieves for this challenge...

 

[Gilthanis]

I added an LHC challenge for end of Feb. and an NFS challenge for March

 

[Gilthanis]

Added a Rosetta challenge for beginning of March. Not much time to prepare for it.

 

[RFGuy_KCCO]

Hey Gilthanis, is there something amiss with our registration for the currently running LHC@Home challenge? No one from the team is appearing in the stats. Could it be the old HardOCP/[H]ard|OCP team name issue? We are "HardOCP" at LHC, but the team challenge shows us as "[H]ard|OCP."

 

[Gilthanis]

Yes... I completely forgot that our team uses the HardOCP name there. that is the headache of having multiple team names. I will strike it from the list...

To add us to the BOINCStats challenges for the projects still using HardOCP, you have to contact Razor_FX_II

 

[RFGuy_KCCO]

Okay, no sweat. I figured that was the issue. No big deal. I can go back to concentrating on some easy FB points now.

 

[Gilthanis]

Linden is currently leading the Rosetta challenge. Good job mate!

 

[Gilthanis]

Two challenges going on at the same time. Enjoy, have fun, crunch [H]ard

 

[Gilthanis]

Enigma and Leiden challenges added. I also wanted to point out the next PrimeGrid challenge can use both CPU and GPU but you will probably want to stick to GPU's as these work units can be pretty long depending on the cards. The GFN World Record work units score better but are much longer than the other GFN work. You are looking at ~500k per work unit for them.

 

[Gilthanis]

For those considering the upcoming PrimeGrid challenge, here are a few tips if you haven't ran them before.

1. The Genefer tasks are both CPU and GPU. However, the GPU work units require double precision cards. Last I checked AMD's ran better but for the challenge run what you got.
2. Only work units that are downloaded AND returned during the time limit will count. No bunkering will be allowed and now late returns.
3. Since no work returned after the challenge will qualify for the challenge rankings, make sure you don't have any other GPU/CPU work cached up.
4. The world record work units are extremely large. So, you don't want to allow your cards downtime, other work, etc... during this challenge.
5. Ask questions, post your experience, share your badge upgrades, but most importantly have fun.

 

[Gilthanis]

Universe and POGS have been added for June

 

[Gilthanis]

I issued a team challenge through BOINCStats for the Citizen Science Grid. This is a challenge to stress test whether they can handle the burden of heavier load. Please push this project hard during this challenge so that we can do our best to assess. Thanks in advance. 6/1-6/7

I received this in my inbox over at SETI

Dear members of [H]ard|OCP

For Nov 16th to Nov 22th 2015 SETI.Germany is arranging a challenge at World Community Grid on the occasion of the grids 11th birthday:




We would like to invite [H]ard|OCP to participate in the challenge and hope that your team and many members of your team will be joining and participting this event.
!!Be aware, only your WCG-Team-Captain can join your team to the challenge!!
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challenge/viewTeamChallenge.do?challengeId=7496

More information and statistics regarding the challenge can be found here.http://www.seti-germany.de/wcg/1_en_Welcome.html


Your participation is very much appreciated.

Many Greetings: Terminator

I am not currently the team captain at WCG. metallicafan still holds that one. So, if anyone would like us signed up for this challenge, please contact him. I will also remind people that we normally partake in the Christmas race which of course typically runs through the first 3'ish weeks of December.
