 Hi to all,

here a new Information from User Cecile from Team SETI.Netherlands :


Hi Searcher, it will take some time before we can start the gauntlet. The bugs are more persisitent than we hoped. And our big bug-chaser Eesger is very busy with his own company. The crew hopes we can start the gauntlet in April.


 Greetings SEARCHER

 Good Morning and Hello UK BOINC Team,

here a new Information from User Eesger vom Team SETI. Netherlands :


Hello all,

First of all we (the S@NL) team are almost ready for the Gauntlet. It's been a hell of a job, and the Gauntlet hasn't even started yet

Everything didn't go at the speed we all would like, but (as usual) the problem is that we also have a(nother) life with (other) responsibilities

Now the statscode and the frontend seem to be ready! Look here : http://www.seti.nl/boinc_team.php?actio ... language=1

The final date will be set when a small test Gauntlet which will start with the update of today and will end on april second goes as we are hoping....

Therefore today you can still join the TEST Gauntlet. Then there will not be made any (team)changes until the TEST Gauntlet has ended (2 April 2012). Then we the team will evaluate if everything is ready and set a date for the REAL Gauntlet if everything went as hoped.

In the mean time other teams and members are offcource welcome!!


And here a new Posting from User XP_Freak vom Team SETI.Netherlands :

The test-Gauntlet is running, and all is looking just fine.

UPDATE


 Good Morning and Hello Team,

new Information from User XP_Freak from Team SETI.Netherlands :

Oké, all looks fine and all problems have been solved.
So we can set the dates for the Gauntlet.


The Gauntet will be running from april 16 until april 30.


The first credit data will be collected with the first stats-export from Berkeley after april 16 10:00 GMT
The last credit data will be collected with the first stats-export from Berkeley after april 30 10:00 GMT


New teams and members can be added until april 15 18:00 GMT.

If anyone is "up" for this, then please reply to this thread.

Looking at the Gauntlet forum on their website it seems like we have to register BOINC names and userID's in advance (and on/before 15th April 2012).

The Gauntlet runs from 16th-30th April.

What say you?

regards
Tim

I'm in (if I remember!)

We need a team captain to register and keep a handle on what's going on (not me!). I haven't run SETI for nearly a year so no idea how it runs now. As John is #1 guy at SETI I volunteer him! (though I think he'd disagree most vehemently )

It appears that NVIDIA GPU is utilised and not AMD ATI which will be a pain for those of us using AMD graphics cards

As mentioned up thread, I'm in.

I believe that there is an third party OpenCL application for us AMD GPU users out there somewhere, but I've never used it and don't know too much about it, so if anyone else has some experience with it, then I'd be grateful if they could share a little of that wisdom here (especially if they also use Ubuntu).  :?

Thanks that's a great help. Ran first time without problems. Seems to run cooler than other GPU apps as well.

Found the Linux apps for all you clever people who can use sudo and stuff!

Thanks for finding these Micky, I'll have a play when I have a spare few minutes.  :D

My Gt240 and HD 6670 run about the same credits 160 a hour on the lunatic x64 apps

Only problem is...Seti is a bit dodgy 3~4 days a week, normally takes me 2 days to get a decent buffer  

Good Morning and Hello UK BOINC Team,

Oh thanks. Apart from the 2 cigs I had when I stayed in a haunted house!
Had about 1 hour sleep  :shock:

Well, to be exact: you are with 5.  :lol:
Timbo is your teamcaptain.

Not much activity over here.
If I post some more, than I surely become one of the top-spammers.  :shock:

Well, out of four GPUs, it seems that I can only crunch Seti on my HD5970 (and then only on one of the two cores if I want to avoid the dreaded BSOD ). Still, at least I'm contributing a few credits to the cause (not that that's going to do too much to help get UBT out of the rather distant last place we currently seem to be stuck in).  :?

Stuck with 2 astropulse on both ATI cards.... 17hrs and 19hrs... Not sure if the credit will be any good  :shock:

Gave up on Astropulse as soon as I realized how long they take! Hopefully they should give good returns though.

Unless you want to see how poor we're doing I'd give this link a miss! http://www.seti.nl/boinc_team.php?actio ... language=1

My late start hasn't helped - forgot it was due to start until sometime in the afternoon  :oops:

Sadly the results from my HD5970 aren't validating, so I'm down to just crunching on my CPUs at the moment. :sad1:

I'll have another play with those apps at the weekend, and maybe (with a little luck) I'll be able to get something out of at least one of my GPUs.  

I take it is too late to join in

Unfortunately it is - the deadline was the 15th. (And we could do with some help, too  :(  )

Ouch! I hate it when that happens. :sad1:

Hope you can get it sorted again soon.
