Just to give you some idea of runtimes, Michael's posted timings (in hours) for various CPUs and thread configurations over in the PG forums.

http://primegrid.com/foru...amp;nowrap=true#124336

It started about a hour ago. 
Good luck everyone. Hope some one finds a prime number this challenge.
If not, it's still good, a lot of the double checking will be complete.
If a prime is found, it will be huge!

We are in 4th place right now. Would be nice if we could hold it.
Fire up those CPUs that are sitting idle!!!!!

I saw that as well

Thanks from the Both of Us

How long would you expect an AMD Ryzen 2700 to take crunching these. I saw the link on the second post on this thread but not sure what to make of the cpu times listed. I have been running the wus for one day 5 hours so far, and it is sitting at around 12.5% on the 8 wus. Just trying to figure out if this is normal rate or if it running at an abnormally slow rate for some reason.
 
Basic system setup: Ryzen 2700 @ 3.3Ghz Memory overclocked to 3200Mhz HT disabled in bios
 
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

From that link, it should take about 50 hours for all available threads working together to complete a single task on a Ryzen 7 2700X.  So it should take longer on a 2700.  You'll want to run multi-threaded if you aren't already.  This requires an app_config.xml file.  This example will tell your Ryzen to use all 8 physical cores.
 

<app_config>
   <app>
      <name>llrSOB</name>
      <fraction_done_exact/>
   </app>
   <app_version>
       <app_name>llrSOB</app_name>
       <cmdline>-t 8</cmdline>
       <avg_ncpus>8</avg_ncpus>
   </app_version>
</app_config>

To make a app_config.xml file use windows note pad.
Copy and paste what planetclown posted to the notepad. Hit save as, on the bottom choose save as all files.
Name it app_config.xml.
Now put that file you just made in the primegrid folder  C:programdata\BOINC\projects\www.primegrid.com
You have to have show hidden folders and files set to show them.
Once you put that file in the folder, exit BOINC and have it stop/end processing
Restart BOINC client and it should now be Multitasking. 8 threads on one task.
Do not abort the ones already started since they have some work done, when one finishes it will start them where they left off.

You're welcome, thanks for joining in this PG challenge.
Good luck, hope you find a prime.

We are half way through, not too late to fire up some cores and join in the fun.

Half way!

Challenge: Conjunction of Venus & Jupiter
App: 13 (SoB-LLR)
(As of 2019-01-14 18:57:59 UTC)

13979 tasks have been sent out. [CPU/GPU/anonymous_platform: 13971 (100%) / 0 (0%) / 8 (0%)]

Of those tasks that have been sent out:

2612 (19%) were aborted. [2612 (19%) / 0 (0%) / 0 (0%)]
377 (3%) came back with some kind of an error. [369 (3%) / 0 (0%) / 8 (0%)]
4184 (30%) have returned a successful result. [4184 (30%) / 0 (0%) / 0 (0%)]
6806 (49%) are still in progress. [6806 (49%) / 0 (0%) / 0 (0%)]

Of the tasks that have been returned successfully:

2200 (53%) are pending validation. [2200 (53%) / 0 (0%) / 0 (0%)]
1925 (46%) have been successfully validated. [1925 (46%) / 0 (0%) / 0 (0%)]
10 (0%) were invalid. [10 (0%) / 0 (0%) / 0 (0%)]
49 (1%) are inconclusive. [49 (1%) / 0 (0%) / 0 (0%)]

The current leading edge (i.e., latest work unit for which work has actually been sent out to a host) is n=29227942. The leading edge was at n=28712732 at the beginning of the challenge. Since the challenge started, the leading edge has advanced 1.79% as much as it had prior to the challenge!

Bill you are Killing it that is for sure.

You’re doing great bill! I will add some hw also.

7  Crunching@EVGA 18 501 596.15     335

3 days left, in 2 days going to set it to get no more tasks.
Have to look and see how long to finish what is going and add that to how long it takes do do a task.
So maybe sooner setting to no more tasks. I would say 7th place is fairly safe and secured.
