Posted 21 May 2024 by Fuzzy Duck Post: Thanks for the heads-up. As I posted before, not finding amicable numbers is equally important as finding them. |

Posted 19 May 2024 by Fuzzy Duck Post: I notice that we are not finding many amicable pairs recently. I have only found 2 in the last week. |

Posted 25 Apr 2023 by Fuzzy Duck Post: Just noticed this thread and thought I would check my stats. I have discovered over 58k amicable pairs since 2019. In 2023, I have discovered a grand total of 28 pairs. My RAC is > 3 million, meaning I return close to 500 WU's a day. So far, we have had 114 days in 2023 meaning that I have returned close to 50k WU's so far. With only 28 pairs found, it is safe to say, we are currently in a very lean patch. From a scientific viewpoint, not finding pairs is still important. |

Posted 3 Aug 2022 by Fuzzy Duck Post: There is no additional credit for longer WU's. Personally, when I see a longer WU I usually abort it. |

Posted 24 Mar 2022 by Fuzzy Duck Post: I'm seeing a lot of multi-hour-long GPU WUs lately. I have one that's been running for 17 hours on an RTX 2060 (three tasks in tandem, admittedly) and it's barely at 50%. Is this to be expected more and more going forward? Any plans to update the credit system to address the task size disparity? I have the same issue. When I am using one of my machines, I will check BOINC. If I see a multi-hour GPU task running I usually abort it in the hope of getting a normal WU. Obviously, not feasible to monitor my machines 24/7. Anyone able to create a prefs file? |

No new amicable pairs found in 200 WU's. Anyone else?
(Message 1578)
Posted 28 Dec 2021 by Fuzzy Duck Post: As per my previous post you will see that pairs are currently discovered approximately once every 100 WU's. Given that you are not using a GPU client it will take some time to discover a pair. Historically pairs used to be discovered far more frequently. Based on my all-time stats I have discovered pairs more frequently than every 5 WU's. With larger numbers, it now takes many more WU's to accomplish this. |

Posted 27 Dec 2021 by Fuzzy Duck Post: I just checked the my stats and it seems my machines are finding around 5 pairs/day with an RAC of around 3.5 million. So on average 1 pair for every 700k RAC. Given that one WU is just below 7k credits this means my machines are finding one pair every 100 WU's. Obviously this is a back of an envelope calculation and your mileage will vary. |
