Count me in for the next Prime grid challenge.  Its nice to have a active team with all of this. I'm excited to help. 

It's nice to have a member that will be helping our cause.  I'll be gearing up the other two systems for the prime grid challenge but right now my main computer is folding for the March Madness Event.  Feel free to poke around.
 
And don't feel shy about asking questions!  It's a team, one of us will have an answer for you!

Don´t be shy and post away asking or giving us your 2 cents

Just started trying this crunchin deal but I don't know what im doing wrong I have two projects [link=mailto:seti@home]seti@home[/link] and "gpugrid" and when I hit update it just keeps "communication deferred" and......nothing....left it on overnight but nothing is happening. Im lost help a newb please

Welcome and we are happy to help!
 
This is going to be something easy most likely as Crunching is... Well very easy in comparison to folding for new users...
 
Would you be kind enough to tell us what your settings and preferences are set at please? Here is a pic of the settings I am asking about... If suspended, 100% allowed ect...
 
 

 

Welcome to the team!
What does it say in the "event log"?
I also just had a look on the project pages, and both projects are rather low on tasks to send out.
So you prolly just joined at the wrong time.
 
For gpu grid you might also check that you´re allowing the gpu to crunch. I might be wrong, but iirc its set to not allow the gpu by default. Sorry, I´m using a germany boinc manager, so can´t tell how its called in English, but if you´re in advanced view (or whatever its called), you can find it in the drop down menus there at the top
 
edit: going by ABs screeny above
you´ll find the event log  under advanced,
and the setting for gpus under activity

Ok well,... I uninstalled it...started again fresh and now it works. Now I just need to dial in these settings. Thanks for the prompt responses from everyone! Love this place! 
  
EDIT: Amazing what one can accomplish by reading stuff. JEeechhhh I got lazy. Thanks again folks

Hi guys! I joined up. Turns out I've had a account since 7/16/10 but not sure I finished the setup or install back then.
Think I have everything setup correct, guess we will know something in a few days.
Only have my 980x setup at the moment, plus told it to use GPU's,
but I don't think its using the GPU's yet.
I'm going to do one last reboot and let er rip!

Do we know you?
 
Welcome to the 'forgotten' side of DC.
 
 

Don't have a clue what I'm looking at here. CPU is set and working at 100%.
The 2x480 still look to be idle, so I guess there is no work being done on those.

Yeah, WCG doesn't have GPU tasks at the moment. Either let 'em sit idle or add another project like GPUGrid. There is a stickied thread of all GPU projects. Welcome to crunching@evga!

Thanks looks like I got that working on the GPU's only thing is i see 4 projects for the GPU.
Is this normal for it to work 2x project for each video card installed?

 
Welcome Wolf! We'll talk about your initiation ceremony later.
 
Go to the home page of the project you're crunching and look for something like this. Click the teams link.

Do a search for "Crunching @ EVGA" and you should be offered a "join this team" option.

Wolf easiest way I have found to start new projects is.!top right hand corner click view click simple view.2 Click New Projects box will pop up.Leave it at Attach to project then hit next.Pick what project you want to crunch,Next.It takes you though it step by step.
Hope this helps you

Hi Wolf, this may be an issue with the GPUGrid project website.
 
http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=3415
 
If its any consolation think you're taking the right actions.

Interesting that it may be  a problem with the GPUGrid site.
I was using Collatz as my example because that's the only GPU project I'm running at the moment. And on that topic, I got 600k points today running a few mid range gpu;s for 15-18 hours. Wassup with that project anyhoo? I'd love to know what a 680 or 780 could pull down in 24 hours crunching a mix of Mini Collatz and Solo Collatz units. Any testers out there?

Hey your on the stats sheet @ Free-DC!
http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=team&proj=pgrid&team=2511
I'll look into the invite deal tomorrow.
 
Collatz and PrimeGrid are math projects, and offer gpu work. GpuGrid is medical so if that's where your heart is, we'll get you going there soon.

Well now, I can't believe I over looked this thread. Most of you know who I am by now and what my goals are for concerning Distributed Computing. But I will explain it all again just because I like talking about it. Just ask my friends and family. I honestly think they groan when I walk into a room during a family get together since DC is one of my favorite subjects.
 
First off why am I involved with doing DC projects? Simple, call it self interest if you will. My fathers side of the family are prone to Alzheimer's and heart conditions. My mothers side is prone to Cancer and heart conditions mainly blood flow disorders. As a young child I watched my maternal Grandfather and Grandmother suffer through years of cancer. In my teenage years I watch my paternal Grandfather decline with Alzheimer's and my Grandmother fight through several heart attacks. It left a big impression on me. Now my Father is fighting Alzheimer's in a battle he can't ever win. I personally am dealing with Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). In short my hearts built in pace maker is not working right. I have rapid changes of blood pressure resulting in dizziness, severe headaches, numbness, and fainting in extreme cases. POTS is often misdiagnosed as MS because the symptoms are just about the same.
 
As you can imagine I am focused on any DC project that involves heath issues. Right now I am doing tasks for POEM@Home and GPU Grid. Once I reach my goal of getting into the top ten for the team in Poem I am looking at branching out into other medical projects. Rosetta is probably going to be my next focus. Sooner or later I would like to have done tasks and moved up the ranks to the top twenty for our team for all the projects that involve medical research.
 
I am currently running Boinc on my i5-3570k GTX 680 gaming system and a i7 2670QM laptop. I also have a older Core Duo system with a GTX 550 in it I keep hoping to revive for crunching. It has CPU cooling issues and I am of the mind its not worth spending money to fix. I keep thinking I am just going to give up and pull the GPU out of it and toss it in my gaming system to do GPU Grid tasks.
 
With all that being said about my personal goals, I am more than willing to stop what I am doing and jump into other projects when the team needs me for contests or some other kind of goal. Just give me a heads up and I will be there.
