BOINC Pentathlon 2020

[miker07]

I bet over half of my tasks are getting stuck in validation. I have over 1500 validating and over 3000 valid now. My validating went up by about 1000 over the last 24hrs. I suspect a lot of big bunkers will be dropped, which will free up these validating tasks. Hopefully their servers will keep up once the floodgates open.

Yeah! NumberFields finally showed up on my BOINCstats.

[SwedishNinja]

and amicable ran out of jobs... moving to bunkering numbers i guess

[Gorgon]

Good Luck Sprinters. May the wind be at your backs and all your tasks validated.

[Windows7ge]

Looks like we lost traction on our race to pass P3DN! Unless we up our game we can kiss 2nd goodbye.

This is the actual starting line at Ancient Olympia in Greece from when I was there in 2009:

Release the Sprint WU!!! Didn't bunker as much WU as i hoped to.. They took so long to complete.

I think the Pentathlon broke Ibercivis servers. it crashed the site and their servers. lol

Big push from RKN.. 600k in the last hour.. if they can keep that up they will pass us!

 

 

Also... Amicable backend is sloooow

Looks like they busted out their secret weapon. Unless we got something to fire back, we might want to consider a tactical withdrawl.

Good opening push on the sprint boys' 

[cbigfoot]

i self validated a pair...

 

umm 628*6836.19=4,293,127.32 Waiting on validation 

[WiredInventor]

Amicable Numbers fresh out of WU's. I am setting the CPU back to Rosetta and GPU over to F@H until they get some tasks ready. We have a really good shot at taking P3D's silver spot in the marathon.

Maybe he will update it when he wakes up. It's 5am in Russia.

Not gonna lie, I'm glad the Pentathlon is almost over. Temps are on the rise outside and my 1950X is cooking me out of my bedroom. Servers are gonna need to move to a 12 hour duty cycle.

I've brought a couple of laptops online for the Sprint. Trying to get a third one on it, as well. Hopefully that's 8 cores on Ibercivis.

 

I'm leaving my Ryzen 3600 on Marathon; as @etv24 said, we're really close to P3D now. Fingers crossed

We're down by ~550,000 points and within the last 24hrs the gap has actually widened. If we don't make some serious headroom above their output we won't pass them before the event ends. We need to be somewhere around 130,000~140,000/hr if we're going to make it and that's assuming they don't have more to put in (which they do, we believe).

Won't they have to focus on the Sprint, at some point?

[ConceptOW]

My bill so far.. oof

it looks like P3D is ignoring the sprint for now.. only 130k points. We have almost 1million points.

 

My current setup:

Since there are 0 Amicable WU Im 100% GPU numbers bunkering

90% CPU Sprint

10% CPU Rosetta

They're above us in the overall standing at least for the moment. They may be choosing to prioritise keeping their #2 position in the Marathon because it's worth more points than whatever they fight for in the Sprint. Either way it's not looking good. If the last Javlin throw goes according to plan though we may be able to pass them and reclaim #5 in the overall standing.

 

All we can do now is keep up our pace and pray.
