Less than 20 minutes left for Swimming! Make sure to upload all your completed Rosetta work before the hour.

Due to a misunderstanding of the tie-breaking rule, the strategy that Mr. B and I came up with won't work. We would have been in a good position if we had caught back up in Swimming, but we fell 3000 points short at the final update. Since AnandTech has higher results than us in 3 disciplines, they win the tie-breaker for 13th. They have a huge amount of momentum (basically work waiting for validation) in Universe, since they have outproduced us by nearly double for a while, so it's highly unlikely we could catch back up. If we put all our systems to work on Universe, they would easily pass us in CSG. Therefore, I don't have any good ideas on what to focus on for the last 23 hours. We could put all our resources on CSG and hope to maintain a tie in total points with AnandTech, but they would still win the tiebreaker. The best I can come up with is to go all in on CSG to maintain our position and points there in order to hold off [H] who could come from behind in the last day. If someone else can come up with an alternate scenario that works, please post it here.

What no Number 14? I think we should still be 13 too! We have a 14 Now!

That being said I will put everything on CSG. I will dump some work units in the AM est but I am now switching out Universe for CSG. No consolation but I think this pentathlon was poorly run. Just my opinion. I thank all that have participated and PUNCHY for trying to create a strategy for us.  We are still one of the best teams in the league!! rs

Interesting, we are staying much closer in Universe than in CSG. This may be because AnandTech has one guy claiming to have 214 cores running CSG. Of course, that could all be pure misdirection, and secret bunkering could throw everything off, but if anyone has some resources to throw at Universe, we might have a chance of taking our spot back.

Well I wasted the last 24 hour waiting for CSG and gave up went back over to Universe@Home for the last 18 hours.

Yep, you got your spot back. I have 214 thread/cores, actually. Would be an even 250 threads if I had vid cards installed in 3 of the workstations and could get into the BIOS to enable HT. I just wanted to drop in and pay my respects, you have all put up one heck of a fight!!! And it's going to be very very close indeed! No misdirection: We (AnandTech) can't catch the UK team on CSG, and I don't think you can catch us on CSG in such a short timespan (unless you've got some sneaky bunkering going on!) so I'm all in on Universe now since you're hammering us there at the moment. Thanks for making it beyond interesting! See you in the PrimeGrid battle coming up in about 2 days?

Thanks for the outstanding competition from TAAT. Been a great battle. Tie breakers go to you, but we're going down swinging.

Thanks Tony, I don't remember any race where we had such close competition on 3 different fronts! You just barely held us off at the last minute in Rosetta - kudos to you and your team. Now be nice and switch back to CSG so we can take the spot in Universe and keep the teams below us from catching up.  You'll win on the tiebreaker unless we catch you in both CSG and Universe, which seems unlikely. And, how in the world do you keep that room from overheating?

Much respect to you too!  I think nobody around here was doubting your number of cores/threads, just that they were purely running csg. Doesn´t make much sense shooting for some underclockers when you have the 6 point battles right there. And who knows, maybe we do have some sneaky bunker

I didn't close my windows/turn off the window fans until mid-January. lol But the best answer to how I keep the house cool is that when my new HVAC was installed last year, I told them I had internal heat sources during the summer and insisted the next larger size heat pump. The black case/red fan and the yellow one are my pride and joy, the twins, Xeon e5-2695-v3@2.7GHz (turbo), (14 cores/28 threads each), and they are my 'normal' crunchers. I had to fire up the rest of the fleet to hold you guys off! All the Dell's were supposed to have been sold months ago....but I'm lazy. You know, I honestly just examined your stats, while considering your plea. Eh, you'll be okay, no one's gonna overtake you (bunkering excluded of course). Definitely would have helped you out though if BOINCStats was a threat...they beat us last year and I haven't forgiven them yet. EDIT: Looks like I'm only going to be able to finish another 160 Universe before the end of the race, of which maybe half will get validated immediately. Whew, then the AC might be able to turn off for the first time in days. Good luck guys!

Hey guy's. Unfortunately I had to wind my rigs down Friday morning before I left town. I'm away with my wife for her 60th birthday and felt uncomfortable leaving things running as the temps began rising. Kudo's to tony, Ken and the guys at Team Annandtech. Mucho respect! Should be back for the start of the PG challenge or just a couple hours late.

We had a couple folks (bill1024, bcav, Mr. B and Orange) posting huge Universe numbers yesterday and the remaining 8 of us filled in enough to take our spot back from AnandTech at the finish line. I don't think I have ever seen such a close final day - the spot changed hands at least 6 times in the 12 hours I was watching. Thanks to everyone that joined! Next time I think we need a secret forum for behind-the-scenes planning...

Great job with the final push! I always enjoy the Pentathlon and managing which project to run. Had to shut down a day early as temps were getting high....It's 100 F today and my computer room doesn't have A/C!

bill1024 Final statements https://www.seti-germany....on-2016-Final-Ceremony
Nice: 14. Crunching@EVGA (16-11-18-16-14) – Previous year: 14th Place This team are masters in consistency. At the start of the Pentathlon since 2012 there’ve been 4x Rank 14 and 1x Rank 13. Only by a narrow margin and on the home straight did they lose their grip on #13 at the Marathon. They appear to like it in midfield but the opposition is not asleep.

[<font]Daha önce alanlarına çok az iş yapan projeler hakkında bilgi verdim. [<font]Sanırım bir şeyleri nasıl yaptıkları kötü juju, çünkü boşa giden bir oy gibi. [<font]Temelde sadece çetele oyları ve sonra zaman geldiğinde, projeyi ve mevcut çalışmalarını değerlendirin. [<font]Sonra bir sonraki en yüksek oyu alan projeye geçerler. [<font]Bu benim için çok adil değil, çünkü 3. proje 1. sıradaki projeye oy veren herkesin ikinci tercihi ise, ne zaman kazanması gerektiğini kaybetti. [<font]Bu konuda nasıl hissettiğimi. [<font]Diğer sorun şu ki, büyük ölçekli birçok proje bu günlerde hazır değil. [<font]Son POEM seçildiğinde, bunkering iki kademeli oyuna girdi. [<font]Birçoğu, sunucuları talebi karşılayamadığı için iş bulmak için mücadele etti. [<font]Sonra mücadelenin sonuna yaklaştıkça, [<font]ekipler, diğer ekiplerin onları almasını engellemek için zamanında tamamlamayacaklarını bilerek iş birimleriyle dolu önbellekleri dolduruyordu. [<font]Böylece, bir ipucu için sığındı ve sonra herkesin iş görmesini engellemek için sığındı. Edit by Cool GTX ---Please remember EVGA Forums is in English --> Use https://translate.google.com/?hl=en if you Need Help [Yardıma ihtiyacınız varsa https://translate.google.com/?hl=tr kullanın] Per Google Translate: [<font] I have given information about projects that have done very little work in their fields before. [<font] I guess how they do something bad juju, because it's like a wasted vote. [<font] Basically just vote on scoreboard and then when it comes time, evaluate the project and its current work. [<font] Then they move on to the next highest rated project. [<font] This is not very fair to me, because project 3 lost the time to win when everyone who voted for project 1 was the second choice. [<font] How I feel about this. [<font] The other problem is that many large-scale projects are not ready these days. [<font] When the last POEM was selected, bunkering entered the two-tier game. [<font] Many struggled to find jobs because their servers could not meet the demand. [<font] Then, as they approached the end of the fight, [<font] teams filled caches filled with business units, knowing that they wouldn't complete them in time to prevent other teams from taking them. [<font] So, he took refuge for a hint and then took shelter to prevent everyone from working.
