"Homefarm" registered on the forum in December 2016 and was last logged in in December 2018. For some reason they have never posted at all...
Maybe your PM might make them a little more conversational ??

Thanks for making contact.
I have to say that in most circumstances, I'm not so keen to interrupt people "crunching away in their little world"...I guesss it's because I value my own space (beyond BOINC) and hence I prefer to just let people get on with it...unless of course there's something generic that's worth communicating to team members.
That's why I value the forum so much as it gives a space for people to comment (if they want) or to just sit and be "wall flowers"

Re: PrimeGrid: Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! Summer Solstice Challenge
I'm I correct in thinking there's about 67 hours left to run for this challenge (as of 08:19)?
My first DYFL tasks finished in 27 hours so I should be able to squeeze another couple in per GPU before switching to the shorter tasks.
Anyone got relative times for the three types of tasks so I can work out what to switch to and when to maximise my contribution?

Nicely done Damien, even if Richard only pops in infrequently, one more face on the boards

Challenge ends on 22nd Dec at 04:19 UTC (which is GMT). So, as of 8:19 today, that would mean it had 68 hours to run.
This might help a little bit:
My GTX970's are taking from 130,000 - 147,000 seconds (36-40 hours) per GFN 21 task and earns approx 154,000 credits.
I daren't run any of the other tasks, as they would take a lot longer...though I now see that the rewards are quite a bit better, so perhaps I made the wrong choice?

Re: PrimeGrid: Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! Summer Solstice Challenge
Thanks Tim.
So I should have time for another three DYFL as they started at half five yesterday afternoon (finish at ~19:30/19th, ~21:30/20th and 23:30/21st) leaving me with roughly five hours.
I'll have a look to see if the GFN21 will finish in that time but it doesn't look like it as even 2080Ti's are taking 20 hours with them.

Re: PrimeGrid: Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! Summer Solstice Challenge
I'm sure you've figured your timings out already, but here is my Titan Pascal host:
https://www.primegrid.com/results.php?h ... e=4&appid=
As you'll know, in single precision, these GPUs are very close to 1080Tis. I did a couple of DYFLs first and then set to only accept 21s and 22s.
The 21s took almost 9 hours, the 22s took about 30 hours, and the DYFLs took ~43-44h. Generally speaking, the 2080Tis take half as much time for each. The credit earned was ~4.8 p/s for the 21's and then ~6 p/s for the 22s and DYFLs on Titan Pascals.
Obviously your 2080 supers will be closer to the 2080Tis than the Titan Pascals ...
It at least looks like doing 22s will be a good idea for the moment and then the 21s pretty soon. Not long to run.
I am not paying a huge amount of attention to this one (not being a FB sprint), but always good to put in a showing

Thanks Damien.
My Supers are doing the DYFL in about 27 hours so if the times scale, I *might* manage to get a couple of GFN21 in during the last few hours.
I'll swap over once the last DYFL's have started and keep my fingers crossed.

On the individual stats, it's just a question of pride now as to whether you can improve on your position...though with some tasks taking a very long time, they need to be completing and validated pretty soon else they won't count as part of this Challenge.

Re: PrimeGrid: Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! Summer Solstice Challenge
Hi Damien
Yup - not a bad effort overall, but clearly this Challenge was best suited to the higher end GPUs...my 3 or 4 generations old GTX970's were not up to doing anything except the basic tasks...so, that limited my contribution.
But we made a good stab at it, and 14th out of 93 is still better than I expected.
regards
Tim

Hiya Richard - glad you dropped by Mark (Woodles) and I are doing a bit of a push on PrimeGrid at the moment and I’ve been seeing your name on the Boincstats charts.
I did realise that I had Einstein running too though ... ooops! I’ve switched CPU over to TN-Grid, so also crunching there while QuChem is out of action.

BTW Richard, I find the best way to use this forum is to use the menu top left near the FAQs to find new posts. That might be totally evident to you already, but took me a while to catch on
