Day 3 - Spoons

Ladles and Gentlespoons, it is I, leader of the Linus Spoon Tips Folding team @GOTSpectrum. Where we are all folding as many spoons as we can. Remember, there is no spoon, only the illusion of a spoon.

 

Today, has not been a good day for me unfortunately. My pain has been quite bothersome, and as I'm coming up to a tolerance break with my (prescription) cannabis. It does not have the usual level of effect at this point in my cycle. This is why we have tolerance breaks. Oh my, where are my manners, you need something tantalising to listen too as you read and watch leadeater doing some cheating or something. Usual Spotify Link Here. Today we are listening to Latina summer hits from 2020. Just when you think you may understand my music taste... I do something like this. (LowKey Latina music is Amazing). 

So I have spent much of today in bed, I was hoping to have told you all I passed 10k words on my research piece... But, I regret to inform you, on this, the fourth day of writing it. I have only managed 9,402 words. Other than that, I did Spanish in bed, ate some fruit, had a sandwich. Yknow normal adult things. Seeing as I won't be writing an event blog at the time, I will say it here. In 16 days, I am 1,000 days sober. I'm pretty happy with that. 

Okay, okay, who decided to let Spec write one of these blogs again? Don't you know, they are obsessed, with technology. Before you know it they will be buying more tech to play with... On a side note, I'm thinking about buying some mini-pcs/SBCs and seeing if anything of them crunch 24/7... 

miker07, oh how is it nice to once again confuse your name with "Milker" every time I read it. I have seen you round these parts for some time. It's nice to see you guys sticking with us in the long term! You take the throne today with 85,211,365 Credits. Meaning he, has computed more work than all of us wee guys together. He is the America of this event. Favebook, first of all, I hate you. I uh... Saw you speeding back there. You're going to need to slow down a fair bit... It's for safety, think of the children. Taking the number two spot with a reported 23,076,942 Credits for the event so far. GOTSpectrum, PFFFTTT, this bean, right here. Thinks they are so clever heating their home with computers... But get this, they have the window open cause it's too warm... Anyway, they got like 15 mil or something... Uhh yeah... 15,384,026 Credits. leadeater, I can only come to the conclusion that are you cheating. Please turn over your credits as a fine. So far he has 13,375,033 Credits. In fifth place we have Corrupt_Liberty, who I have good authority. That they are actually a library in disguise. He takes the rank with a reported 7,441,148 Credits. I'm watching you! 

 

Moving on from the top five we can see TheLANguy, I feel like this guy is important for some reason... But I just can't work it out. 4,880,855 Credits does get him the number six space on the table. But I don't think he is safe, like Ralf from The Simpsons, because HoldSquat is thundering along at an incredible pace. This HoldSquat person, I do NOT, want to know what you expect me to hold while you're squatting. But, I do have to respect those 4,566,577 Credits. If you think Holdie was going fast, take a look at the guy behind. First of all, this guy is super fishy. Secondly, I think he's going to make some people ahead quite salty. He takes the rank of eight place after a four rank increase with a recorded total of 2,890,611 Credits earned. Imakuni seems to have started crunching today, and with earning 423,844 Credits, thay have gained a total of six places to take over 9th/ Finally for the top step we have Windows7ge, I hear they have not had an update in ages! Like, major security issue right there. Seems they had a bit of a sorry day and only has a bank of 241,206 Credits to show for it. Hopefully, they will pick up the pace. GET SOME ANTS IN YOUR PANTS. 

Usually, we would leave it there, but with only three more ranks active, let's just go through them. CWP is down in 11th place after earning 178,070 Credits so far for this event. They could take over the number 10 rank with a little effort and luck. Fallguye, terrible name, terrible game, I'm not salty cause I'm bad at it. He finds himself in 12th place after getting a total of 103,490 in the bank. Not bad not bad. And finally we have MrFinn, who has earning a beautiful number of credits. That's right 69,136 Credits are to his name. 

 

And there you have it folks, now I'm going to be heading off quite quickly as I have an appointment in the late morning. And I need my beauty sleep. 

I'll let @TheLANguy do a little outro, I'm truly exhausted

LANguy here! The crunching power we are seeing here is amazing for just fifteen participants. Our daily total has grown each day of this event, lets keep it going! See you all tomorrow.

Happy crunching,

Spec.

OK not sure what's going on with the stats but I'm pretty sure I did more that 12 thousand yesterday.

 

According to the WCG stats I uploaded just shy 500 results or about 250 thousand WCG points. 

 

I have all CPU crunching so I'm not going to match porina but still...

Great job guys! except for @porina, I need you to slow down please 😛

Sorry, more GPU power is arriving in a few hours! With my late start, I don't know if I'll overtake you in the rankings before this is over.

I started on all CPU but when I saw the points difference GPU makes, CPU hardly felt worth it. I did want to do WCG since it might be more useful for humanity like folding.

 

What sort of points per unit are you getting? By your estimate that would work out around 500 a unit? On my systems I was seeing around 70 to 100 credits a unit.

I'm honestly not sure what the conversion is between WCG points and BOINC points - I normally just focus on WCG and folding for the medical benefits, don't really care about funny crypto numbers and SETI@home gave up on aliens decades ago now...

When I downloaded WCG's export file yesterday, it looked like it hadn't been updated. The credits will most likely show up today.

I have an average of 540 WCG points for each WU, that /7 (think that's the conversion) -> ~77 BOINC points. ~1h 15min runtime on a R9 5900X, ~2h 30min on a E5-2690 v3 and ~1h 40min on a i3-10100f.
