This is part 8 of 9 challenges. It is CPU and GPU. Our team is currently in 12th place for the series.
Current team standings are: There is still cleanup from previous challenges so these positions are not final
25 - RFGuy_KCCO
101 - Coleslaw
105 - pututu
142 - HighTech67
268 - tjmagneto
285 - brilong
392 - travanx
Tips:
You must log into your account at PrimeGrid to change your project preferences so that you are only crunching the correct sub project. In this case AP27.
Being a GPU project, you may not want to run CPU work as GPU's will be much faster.
Intel boxes tend to perform better. The HT probably needs turned off since these are not sieve work units. Do your testing in advance.
Intel chips tend to out perform AMD chips
PrimeGrid work will stress hardware harder and so is more sensitive to overclocking. Therefore make sure you have tested their work units on your rigs before the challenge to make sure they are stable.
These challenges only count work units downloaded during and completed before end of the challenge. So, no bunkering.
I also want to point out that this overlaps the WCG birthday challenge we as a team are focusing on. So, focusing on this with GPU's while focusing CPU's on WCG is preferred.
