I'm in , bunkers are not allowed in Primegrid, right?

planetclownCorrect.  Only tasks downloaded after the start of the contest will be counted.

Thank you!

For a better chance to be founder of a prime number, under options have your store at least WUs set to 0.01 and an additional 0.00
So you do finish WU, upload it and get another with out them sitting on your drive for a long time waiting to be completed. 
 

Bill, does this assure us of no extra wu's in the cache?
At this point it looks like I'll have to start 6 hours early or 4 hours late so if I can keep my cache low or empty I'd opt for starting early.
Does anyone know how long they take on Sandy Br.?

It does keep the cashe to a minimum, one short WUs it will down load new WUs at around 85-90%
At least it does when I check up on it. Open it at 85 and it starts to DL on its own. What it would of done if I did not chk it I do not know for sure.
 
As far at time on the challenge WU, my xeon e5-1650 hexcore is around 15 hours, my i7-3939k pretty much the same chip, WUs taking a little longer.  42.5% 6.25 hours
I have it 100mhz slower and it is in dual channel memory, my xeon has quad channel memory. And only 5 WUs running out of six cores.
 
Have to RMA a couple sticks of ram is why. I do have two larger sticks, 8gb each, same make, speed and model number.
I may mix them and see what happens, if I can get quad channel for the first 16gb and have dual for the extra 8gb
I know my Asus x58 says it would work that way.

We are under 24 hours to go.
 
 

Looks like around 33 hours per WU on a x58 1366 xeon x5660 (i7-970) 6 WUs 6 cores at 4ghz

That is with HT off!! Long Wus for sure. On my e5-1650 ( i7-3930k) hexcore 15 hours HT off AVX really helps.
I did read over at the PG forum many are leaving a CPU idle 5 of 6 cores running, I guess it helps with speed.
Not sure if it is enough to make up for the lost WU or not.
I suppose on my dual socket systems I will leave a core free. Dual rank memory and memory speed are important to the run time too.
I know my servers all ahve dual rank memory. Not sure what Gskill Sniper is, single or dual rank.
I put in a question to their cust support, waiting for a reply.

I think I will run a cycle on one of my 4P it's in the basement so heat is not a problem.
Its nice to carpet bomb all those Wus at once when they are done.
 
ll be running them this Winter doing WCG for sure. They are just as good at WCG as my intel are.
Maybe a little slower wu to wu but the amount being done is so much more. 48 vs 6 or 12 with HT.
Not sure why the font changed either mmm oh well

I feel safe running 3 threads each on my 3 SB rigs for a total of 9 while I go away for the weekend. I can add more when  get back on Labor Day. I'll prolly start an hour or 2 late too.
Good luck to all and hope robby is riding out the storm and can join us, but be safe first bro.

I tried a couple of wus just to check if everything was all right on my rigs, the i5-6600k did a wu in 8h20m, the 3570k worked for more than 15 hours, the PII x3 720 said "no thanks" and crushed. Anyway, this will be hard, it's really hot here and I don't have A/C!

Reduce your CPU Overclock and do not Fold or Crunch on the GPU and you should run 3 Cores fine on Each CPU and with little heat.
 
PII WHAT!

Thanks.
The game is on !

I think I am at 100 cores even right now. I get a different number every time I add them in my head.
That is what happens when you get old!

Well I guess my low 20 Cores is all I can give Team, Sorry.

Oh no no no no. Every single core counts.
I have more but I am not going to go all in, sorry, just to warm here still.
No AMD and a couple dual Intell have to sit this one out.
 
Plus you have nice shiny new CPUs that kick butt.

A little late to the party, but finally I made it.
Throwing what I got at the challenge.
 
Good luck, and may the cores be with you Gentlemen

My i5 seems to be tracking at 17hrs per unit. Dedicating 2 cores to this one. Need the other 2 for folding and gaming.

So, do I pause crunching while gaming? I usually Pause the Folding while gaming. Moat of my games aren't multithreaded anyway.
