Less than 24 hours to the challenge. I see there have been a few questions regarding downloading early. NO you cannot. PG is very specific about only new tasks downloaded at/after start time and returned on/before end time are counted. So do not download a cache of WUs ahead of time.

For the US, the conversion of time is:
18:00UTC
13:00EST
12:00CST
11:00MST
10:00PST

I am not going to do Alaska or Hawaii.

Recent average CPU time: 29:12:59
This average is about what my I7, 2,8G will do. AVX will about 1/2 this time.

Go forth and help us achieve a higher place than we have in the past. It's been a long time since we broke the top 10 as a team and would be nice to see one more time. I know we have it in us!

FYI - Currently I am running PPS LLR (the larger ones) so I get some WUProp hours and will switch over to PPSE LLR tomorrow around 12:00-13:00UTC. About 30 minutes before 18:00UTC i will disable new work requests, adjust settings on PG for 321 LLR. Then at the go time I will allow new work. This allows me to get new units almost as precise as possible.

That must be one of the scheduler 'improvements' they made.

That's a BOINC feature. Happens on all projects now.

20 of 24 cores started. 4 cores are on my high priority, rare units project (I want to get 5K hours on it and it has 3400, plus I want the next badge in it at 100K and currently at 84K). I think I might be able to achieve both, but we will see. The units are getting rarer and rarer.

CONGRATULATIONS Ivanst! A new prime and 3 million points! #ni-2

I'm shocked, I actually got one challenge WU immediately! (Usually takes me over 4 hours to get one...) Unfortunately I also have 7 other large PG WU's (bad planning), not sure how to work around those. Will prolly klink along for 24 hours 'til those are done, then have 8 cores on Leonids... Also just picked up another PG badge.

About 2 hours in and my two AVX boxes have 12 cores over 10% done my i7 has nearly 5.8% and my C2Q has about 5% done. You can calculate it from there, but the AVX looks under 20 hours and the others around 35-40 hours. The average CPU time of near 30 hours must have had a lot of AVX influence. So in 5 day challenge at this rate I can return 5-6 units on each AVX core and about 2-3 units on the non-AVX cores.

Congrats lvanst! #Milti #Milti

I got home from work today expecting to see a whole bunch of 321 WUs churning away, but did not realize Ibercivis recently got work and I had left that project open. So only one 321 was running... got that fixed.
Anyways, I finally finished my first Genefer for the month! (cuda) #ni-1

6 hours in. Over 30% on most of the AVX cores. Over 17% on the other I7s and just at 15% on the Core 2. Running smooth.

Shrub away team!

Guess my estimates were off.
Currently the AVX cores are guestimating total hours of 17:15-18:00 total hours. A mite faster than previously reviewed. I am also past 45% at less than 9 hours. Non AVX I7s are now 33-35 hours and Core2 is about 38-39 hours.

Looks like I should then get 6 for sure out of the 12 AVX cores and 3 out of the rest of the cores (except for the ones that have not started yet do to them on the high priority work). At the approximately 3500 challenge points each I should easily go over 350K challenge points.

I see there are two people who have returned units already. One looks like a highly overclocked I7 Gen 3 and the other looks like a highly overclocked I7 Xeon Gen 2. So they both use AVX extensions.

zzzzzzzzzz. These units are going to take a while despite having AVX on my 3rd gen i3. 2 have sucked up 8 hrs of cpu time and made it to 44.5 and 40% done respectively. Boinc estimates 59 and 62 hrs remaining respectively.

24 hours in, 4 of us have credit. I had 12 units drop earlier today. As a team we look good.

Lots of people like to hold back their units until closer to the end, so these early numbers are never a real indication how things are truly going, but sometimes that backfires and I never recommend doing it. Looks like one of my AVX boxes got a larger FFT group so it's taking longer to shrub. Rest of the machines are just rolling on.

Nice job so far team!

Got one at 87% right now after 17 cpu hours and it is estimating another 20 or so hours to finish but that seems too high at the rate its going, should at least turn one in here soon with the others doing their thing

It looks like I also have a larger FFT group as it is taking twice as long as the others. A few more hours till I can post shrubs.

I have a hodgepodge of cores on it, more coming as other stuff finally completes. Knocking them out in about 10 hours a pop on the new boxes. Somewhat....longer, on the old boxes. Putting an old shrubber back in service for testing. This contest seems like a good way to stress test it.
