Guys don't know what you so excited about 321 for ^-^;

Its a CPU project so that will take 9 days away from the CPU PoTM.

Unless you are planning on taking part in the challenge Very Happy

Not to mention, the Gpu project takes a Cpu core so you will have to suspend Gpu computing to Maximize your 321 production. It's just not Shrubberically responsible. #ni-1

My GT 640 is eating through Genefer units in about 12.5-13 hours at nearly 8K a piece.

My two ATI are eating up PPS Sieves at just around 1.25 hour and 2.4 hour respectively at 3371 credits each.

I could probably get better credit putting the ATI on the PPS Sieve, but with Genefer I could find a world record prime, which would be neat.

I had it in mind to run none of the PG challenges this year and I have not. I will return to them probably next year.

Happy shrubbing!

I set it to only run the ATI subproject and it auto selects Sophie Germain and PPS LLR cpu

is this normal? I have get work from other subprojects unchecked so wouldn't think it would do that

Yes, I have also selected only ATI and PG forced selection of those 2 sub-project.

Is it normal? Well, for KWSN it definitely is #ni-1

Yes, since BOINC is originally CPU, it always chooses at least one CPU project. You need to shut off the CPU in order to not get any. It's a BOINC issue, not PG. I am unsure BOINC will change that any time soon, and who knows when PG will update their backend since it's so modified. I've requested that GPU have separated settings, but the BOINC people say it won't happen. It irks me that I cannot for example set 4 CPU and then set Einstein to run 3 GPU on a single unit and have it run that way. I actually have to change to 7 CPUs to get all 7 to run. It runs fine with 1 and 4 CPU, why does it count it when there are more than 1 simultaneously? Especially since I want to run 4 CPU of a different project. So that project downloads 7 units, swapping them in and out causing longer work times, etc. When doing projects on CPU like PG where you'd like to be first for getting credited for the Prime, it is totally annoying.

I found the issue with the CPU tasks. The checkbox for GPU WUs wasn't checked, so i fixed that and now get ati tasks for pps sieve. I ran one WU of it already and got a bunch of credits. It also states I found 6 factors but my primes page is still empty. Does PPS sieve not find primes?

Sieve does not technically find primes, it sieves out non-primes then LLR finds the primes from the left over work.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the 321 challenge Very Happy

Here are the results for all those that took part and the final positions in the league table for the 321 challenge.


60 [KWSN]John Galt 007 5328862.27
114 Jupiter 3283479.26
175 Williamd007 1984707.55
299 [KWSN] multijumper 992637.89
311 The Knighty NI 908093.51
332 Yankton 810768.41
366 KWSN - Sir Grawlfang 695790.00
421 thecaligarmo 564670.24
589 KWSN-SpongeBob SquarePants 274313.94
604 John Mohr 254865.77
773 Zyklops 146325.72
820 Liquid 123613.88
953 Wabbit98 75781.49
968 Nicolas 74622.17
1038 Grebuloner 71861.67
1070 Rowdy Ratts 52055.18
1234 KWSN The Holy Hand Grenade! 47918.30
1311 Delwin_of_Amber 25734.76
1378 DannyBoy 25185.84

Overall we finished in 18th position with

18 The Knights Who Say Ni! 15499743.77

On another front

Currently we are lying in 14th position on Setibiz stats. We have just been overtaken by the Kows, Darn (walking beef, lets shoot em and have a feast). 190+ mill weekly compared to our 25mill. However, with a little push in about 4-5 days we can move up into 13th and pass Xetream systems who are only doing about 500k weekly atm. There is a real change in about 10 days of gaining 12th once again and overtaking team china.

Pending credit can pile up a bit unless you just run Sieve work.

Production is up significantly from 1.9 Million to 3.4 million daily average. Yet we've dropped a spot? As the Mighty Ni! pointed out, da Kowz are really pouring it on...

Production is up to 6.2 million daily...

Milestones:
John Mohr passed 40,000,000
mildew passed 16,000,000
Sir Stooper passed 14,000,000
Harveymeister passed 1,900,000
Robert Houben passes 950,000
Agostino 850,000
Delwin_of_Amber 400,000
Atari911 passes 300,000
Plomos passes 90,000
thecaligarmo 80,000
PimpInTheBox passes 60,000

We mentioned Da Kowz are really cranking it up - this is mainly due to a single bovine shrubber. Check out [DPC]x-RaY99_the_one_man_team averaging 48.6 million per day with 1.3 billion total PG points!

PrimeGrid has their big GPU challenge in December. PPS Sieve for the Winter Solstice 18-21 December. We could almost stay on PG as the GPU project for December and make some bang for the final 2012 challenge which runs right into the Mayan date.

It would also give us a chance to probably push us up a rank or two (currently 14th, but we have RAC of 10).

Something to think about.

If you are GPU Sieving you will not know if a prime was found, this just takes out non-candidates. You can also GFN with GPU, but those are really huge numbers and you'd have to be really lucky to find one.
