That's because you've contributed 50 million points to team UK. Excellent!!! Only another 50 million to go and you get the coveted diamond border. There is an "ice blue" one above that, which is reserved for people whose name starts with "mama" and ends in "uk"

I've had a very good week, Threadripper running well.

Had a problem with the memory sticks which I fixed today, memory was running at 2100, now running at 3200. Not sure how much this will affect crunching, won't hurt it though.

Been reading that lots of people are having difficulties with the Aorus MB, mine has been solid as a rock.The BIOS design sucks hard though, difficult to navigate and seems a bit of a kludge, some options are not where you would logically expect them to be.

Good to hear that Rod. I tried that on my PC and the crunch time has come way down so points per hour has improved. Soon I will try it on my servers (running Linux). Thanks again..

Good Morning All


Tom what projects are you running? At this moment in time I am crunching only SCC but there are many WUs of MIP on their way up my list. I am hoping that the workaround (with the app_config.xml file) will limit MIP to two threads only on my 3 Macs. Apparently this prevents MIP from slowing everything else down. I am now around 260 CPU days (22 days real time) from my 10 year SCC and I'm not sure where I will go after that. It looks like 100% MIP is not an option until they clear up some of the issues. Any recommendations for a good points haul? I did initiate FAH but it appears that there is no work despite the project saying that it is only 50% or so (I cant remember exactly) complete.

Watch out for MIP!
I posted the following on the MIP forum

OK so I have just this minute processed my first MIP since starting again. I loaded the recommended app_config.xml file and WUs seem to process in pairs. So far so good. Although BOINC is predicting a 6h 50m WU crunch time the WU actually completed in a little under 1h 30m.

I hope this is an anomaly but the Valid result was 1.38h CPU time with 1.42h Elapsed. Gain? 14.4 points for a 24Gflop file. This is a joke! I'll check thing out tomorrow morning but if this is typical I am binning my MIP WUs and waiting until sanity returns.
Breaking News The second MIP file processed only gave me 14.2 points for a similar crunch time.
