T32 EOC WIR 7Sep18: Tiger's blood and winning.

[don256us]

Cool weather has finally come. WOOT! Now I won’t sweat just looking out the window. Start ramping up production fella’s.

HayesK just earned his second 3 billion! Please congratulate him.

Team Conquest/Threat List
[oldtable] None. |We have conquered |them all.
TSC! Russia| 5 months| down from 5.8 months.
Hardware.no| 6.1 years | down from infinity.[/table]

A slight change in the table above which is now merged into one. Green is who we are after and red is who is after us. We picked up Hardware.no again. It’s no wonder, they have picked up production while we have remained flat. Good for them but what are we going to do about it? GAME ON!

Well there’s your problem right there. We have dipped to 30th place in terms of the number of active users. This is the lowest we’ve ever seen since the weekly updates have started. Either people are losing interest or people are just busy with back to school stuff. If you’ve left, come back. If you’ve never joined, well… join.

Top 20 PPD:
[oldtable]1| Macaholic | 11.09 million

Same names from last week to this week. Good job guys. I’m sure that it’s obvious that the top 20 get listed here but only those earning a million or more ppd have their points listed. Our current record is to list the points of the top 14. I’m looking forward to the day when we can get the top 15 or the entire top 20 earning a million ppd. For me, that part of this list is the most exciting. I’m not sure why I like it the most but here we are. Winter is coming and if you can boost yourself up to a million ppd or better; let’s see how many we can list here at the same time. WOOT!

Individual Milestones:
(Note: The word “earned” acknowledges the hard work done to earn these points at all levels of production.)

[oldtable]Macaholic will earn | 10 billion in 2 weeks.|
HayesK just earned | 3 billion!|
superducky will earn | 600 million in 14.4 hours.|
Lochekey will earn | 100 million in 3.4 days.|
Clint just earned | 90 million.|
hitman will earn | 50 million in 2.4 hours.|
thecultie will earn |30 million in 4.5 days.|
pettyg359 just earned | 9 million and will earn | 10 million in 16.8 hours.
alby earned his first | 1 million!| WOOT!|[/table]

Shout out to dogerain, L337 M33P and Xingzoa all working their way up.

World Top 100:
Moving up in these ranks is difficult. Great job guys.

We have a few exiting the world’s top 100 and a few working their way towards it. You have to play to win and winning is definitely happening. WOOT!

Congratulations to everyone on their hard work and earned goals.

If you did “it” and I missed “it”, please post “it” below.

Until next week
Build, Borg, Recruit.

Hasn't cooled off down here in Florida yet!

 

[torin3]

They told me to take home my second computer from work, so that will be going into the garage and folding from there.

Yeah we had to comply with some new ITAR cyber security stuff and since my personal workstation was not on the domain they made me take it home...which means I have to pay for an extra 1070's worth of power now... *sigh*

Brought another quad-Quadro P2000 machine online this afternoon but it seems a bit unstable, we'll see what happens, also have no idea how long I'll be able to run it. Those cards require a specific PNY driver, the standard Nvidia driver doesn't work, but they're nice and cool/quiet and only 75w and don't require external power so they're easy to manage.

 

[WhitehawkEQ]

Oh quit complaining you guys, I got 10 EVGA GTX 1080 SC cards so I don't want to hear any winning about having to pay for power for 1 extra card.
BTW no comments on how high my production is lately? (I know what you think Don )

 

[don256us]

If you're not careful Whitehawk, you'll be the #2 ppd guy.

 

[superducky]

Be careful, Don, you no longer are on my threat list!


mwuahahahaha

e: actually, no one is on my thread list!

You may wish to check again.

I'll race you to 700 million. I'm behind by about 9 million but it'll be close. 4.2 weeks vs 4 weeks as it stands now.

Loser has to post that the winner is the "ultimate bestest ever".

You in?

Let's GO.

edit to say: I'm not above sacrificing my crown to you in Rosetta to ward you off I've got a lot more Haswell-EP cores dedicated to that than I might need to...

 

[don256us]

You know, I never do well in these challenges. It's funny that the only other two people to respond to this challenge are JR and WH both of whom mopped the floor with me after I challenged them.

I'm all in. I may not be able to out produce you but I'll be right there if you fall behind. Get ready to type in how great I am.

 

[superducky]

Well, I'll just have to not let that happen, won't I?

I've resorted to making fried XPS 13 just to make sure!

 

[don256us]

Yeah. I've set all of my CPU's to F@H which I usually don't. It won't be many points but I'm gonna need everything I've got if I'm even going to have a chance. I don't think that I'll be able to hit the 4 million ppd mark but I'm flirting with it.

 

[superducky]

Well, I've yet to set CPU affinity on anything other than my old Westmere MacPro to folding. I have been looking at 1060s on ebay for insurance though....

You are also no longer on my threat list after getting my 1080ti cooperating.

Don, when will you ever learn? Go get em

 

[don256us]

Apparently never. I'm gonna get whooped here.

Fold on.

I see that yesterday you had a 4.2 million ppd compared to my 3.7 million. However, in the last 24 hours I've had my first 4 million ppd and I am currently on your threat list so..... I've got to step it up if I'm gonna do something. I must overtake you in less than the 5.8 months currently predicted.

By my calculations, after the noon CST/1300 EST update, I'll be there in a little less than 20 days if I can keep this up, and I've still got 32 Haswell-EP cores I can throw at it if necessary. (It would be 80 if the app supported it on windows.)

Great...I'm going to finish my popcorn while the previews are still running...

Does the windows version recognize more than 32 cores? If windows is limiting the FAH app to 32 cores per process, perhaps you can run several CPU slots to use all the available cores/threads.

You will likely find that Projects using the A7 core perform the same or better on thread counts which do not exceed the number of CPU cores with AVX support. You can have many CPU slots with various CPU numbers to evaluate performance, then only run enough slots/cores at same time to not exceed the actual number with AVX support. Also, some of the newer CPU projects with small number of atoms do not scale well on the larger thread counts and have assignment parameters excluding the larger thread counts, with some limits as low as 8 or 12 max.
