A New BOINC Project (Mathematics)
https://sech.me/boinc/Amicable/
Amicable Numbers is an independent research project that uses Internet-connected computers to find new amicable pairs. You can contribute to our research by running a free program on your computer.
Current goal of the project is to find all amicable pairs with smallest member < 2⁶⁴.
All new findings are published regularly on the Amicable pairs list page.
 
You need at lest 4 Threads better at 8 Threads and the More the better.
16GB-32GB May Get Tasks 48GB and about will get tasks.
Each Task takes 800MB of Memory and uses from what I see little CPU Usage.
I had issues creating a Profile in IE 11 but FireFox worked fine.
 
Computer Settings for an 4 Core 8 Thread CPU with 2 GPU. HT On Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4820K
Set the BOINC Client to use 60% of the CPU that will set the Project to use 4 Threads. Leaves 1 Thread for each GPU and a Spare.
Set the BOINC Client to use 80% of the CPU that will set the Project to use 6 Threads. Leaves 1 Thread for each GPU.
 
Computer Settings for an 6 Core 12 Thread CPU with 2 GPU. HT On i7-3970X CPU
Set the BOINC Client to use 70% of the CPU that will set the Project to use 8 Threads. Leaves 1 Thread for each GPU and a Spare.
Set the BOINC Client to use 90% of the CPU that will set the Project to use 10 Threads. Leaves 1 Thread for each GPU.

Some Completed Tasks: (Will show only for a short time)
AMD Opteron(TM) Processor 6274 [Family 21 Model 1 Stepping 2]

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5960X

I found a way to run 4 Concurrent Tasks on my 64 Core Rig by setting the BOINC Client to use 25% of the CPU then download 16 Tasks that is all it will let me.
Then turn off getting new tasks and then set the CPU usage back to 100%
Works the same on my 32 Core Rig running 2 Concurrent Tasks.
The only problem you have to make this change each time to get new tasks.
 
 
 
Please PM me if you see any errors in Post #1, thanks.

I wish this project told us more about the research was for.  Maybe I just couldn't find it.

Review the two site;
amicable pairs & Amicable pairs list give you some info, kind of like finding Primes or Factors that are on PG.
We are looking for Amicable Pairs.
 
First amicable pairs found on the project
        There are already 15 new amicable pairs found so far after just 12 hours of crunching!
 Here is the list of new pairs: https://sech.me/ap/log/2017/2017-01-23/VOLUNTEERS%40BOINC.txt
Volunteers that found each pair are shown in the order they found this pair.
 
We are starting off well 13 Crunching@EVGA
 
I started off at 43 Now 41  bcavnaugh

Is this Really You! robbysites
Glad the settings did work for you

Congratulations!

Hey robbysites, you and I share an Amicable Number.

yessir - that is me.

The project has moved to fixed credit - https://sech.me/boinc/Ami...m_thread.php?id=16#104

Might Be Going a Little of Topic, best to keep Credit Issues on their Website Forum.

Now with GPU app !

Same here - Thanks!!!

And don't forget badges... Granted only 3 levels at the moment, but he is open to suggestions and assistance.

They are having a contest, should we join since some are running anyway? https://boincstats.com/en...hallenge/team/chat/889     https://sech.me/boinc/Ami...forum_thread.php?id=30

I was avoiding this one since I'm not as interested in mathematical projects but I'll join in for the event.
 
I see in Amicable project prefs you can limit max cpus for the project.
Is it better to just leave it unlimited and use boinc client cpu % to control, as described above?

I messed with that setting and found it easier to set your boinc client cpu %. In addition to that the gpu gives out more points/time (somebody check me on that) so I am running Amicable numbers on gpus and letting my cpus work up points on the DrugDiscovery project. I was really close to 1million on tn-grid but that will have to wait - the DrugDiscovery project badge looks way too cool

Drugs seems to like UN9 Over Win ATM for Tasks.
As Far as Amicable I most likely will not run with this up coming event.
Running Very Long Tasks on climateprediction.net ATM as well.
