Hey all good luck in this years pentathlon!
 
With whats currently going on around my part of the world, I´ll not participate this year.

Hope all is well Mr.B 

Hey yodap!
So far all is still well , however there´s a massive storming looming on the horizon and I´ll just leave it at that ( to not break the TOS).....

Remember this starts Greenwich time, 8PM Eastern USA time 6/04/2016
 
OK off we go. Almost, not getting WUs from the starting project. CSG
So, POGS starts in just under 24 hours, downloading POGS work to bunker so at least my systems are crunching.
Download a day and a half worth of work and then turn off the network communication under activity.
Turn the work in after 8pm tomorrow night.

Citizen Science Grid keep coming back with no tasks for me!

Yeah me either. Crunching pogs to keep systems going.
Don't turn in the pogs until tomorrow 8PM Eastern USA time.

Did not catch this Challenges / 7. BOINC Pentathlon Challenge
You have to sign up over on pogs as well.

On the pogs site it says this.
"

About this challenge:

a short challenge during the city run
the challenge here is optional...you must not sign in for the Pentathlon..."

So do I then take my account out on the POGS site?
Pogs should not have used the same name "BOINC Pentathlon Challenge"

It takes very little - but I am cofused - it is 9:20am est 06/06/2016 and I would like to know if I should fold POGS or CITIZEN SCIENCE and or if there are even any WUs for CS -
Please advise and I will get started.
 
Thanks,

Just set up theSkyNet/POGS for now.  CSG has had no new work in at least a day - pretty much ruining the marathon part of the Pentathlon.

Thanks Punchy - will do POGS!

Looks like Citizen Science Grid has some work available now, so I have added it on one of my two systems since we are pretty low in the rankings there.

Same here.

What do we do with primegrid? The GFN give the most points, but only if they double checked by the wingman.
Maybe if we all agree to do GFN17 or SGS so we can double check each other... Pick one sub-project to pick on.
Short sweet and as many as we can.
I have seen times when I have hundreds of WUs sitting waiting for a double-checker.
Seen one GFN 22 sit for two or three weeks waiting.
I'll do GFN if we all agree on it.
 
Ideas??

 
Anyone see any issues with this file?

The 4th project of the BOINC Pentathlon in the discipline Swimming is:
Universe@home (http://universeathome.pl/universe/)

All credits granted between
12 Jun 2016, 0.00 (UTC) and
19 Jun 2016, 0.00 (UTC) will be taken into the BOINC Pentathlon validation.
 
 
As for PrimeGrid, I'm all for choosing what we think is the best subproject with short tasks, preferably GPU based since all other project appear to be CPU only.
And I finally got some CitizenScienceGrid tasks!

Anyone see any issues with this file?

Sorry, wish I knew more about that. Are you trying to customize each sub-project with multiple amd cards?

The best strategy for me would be short PG tasks on the GPU. PPS sieve take about 10 minutes and are worth 3371 points. 2 tasks at a time can be run  on most cards. A single 970 can do almost a million a day.

Do I need to run everything on Citizen Science Grid or split it with POGs? I am getting Work Units from both.

We are behind in CSG by no fault of our own, and the tasks could run dry again. At this point I'm doing both.

I haven't compared points as I only have CPUs, but from discussions I have read in the past, won't GPUs outperform CPUs by a huge margin (like 10x or more)?  If that is true, it seems that we should keep our CPUs on CSG and POGS whilst using all the GPU power we have to attack PG.
