Beta test of part 3 of the 10^21 search
(Message 1866)
Posted 20 hours ago by Conan Post: Edit: I re-read your post and you wrote "4 threads per WU". This is a multi-threaded application, it can use all CPU cores - you don't need to run many WUs in parallel. I tuned part 3 WUs to take ~2 hours on a 16-core Ryzen 7950X (using all 32 threads). Please note that GPUs are much faster with part 3 WUs (less than 2 minutes on RTX 4090), so CPUs are expected to be slow. Thanks Sergei, I use what I have as I don't have any GPUs that can do this work. I have upped my preferences from 4 threads to 8 threads for future work units (I don't think I can update an already downloaded work unit with new settings) and see how that goes. Conan |

Posted 21 hours ago by Conan Post: Part 3 work units currently running on my Ryzen 5900X currently have been running for over 2 hours each (6 at a time on 4 cores each). They are only at between 7.7 % and 11.4%, seems to be way longer than before. Conan PS:: The estimated completion times have blown out to over a day. |

Credit badges for 100, 200 and 500 thousand total credit
(Message 431)
Posted 14 Apr 2017 by Conan Post: Thank you Sergei, I was and still am going for your original 1,000,000 badge but at least now I can say I have a badge at this project, 200,000 badge, soon to be 500,000 badge. The Amicable pairs badge will still have to wait as I only have 52 of those. Conan |

Credit badges
(Message 424)
Posted 10 Apr 2017 by Conan Post: I agree with Conan here. Benn here since start of the project and stopped at a time I reached the 200 Amic pairs badge and have yet to achieve a credit badge. Missed the release of the GPU-app though... It's OK DoctorNow, I was not complaining just stating that it will take me quite awhile to achieve any of the badges. As Sergei has said it is not a sprint so that will suit me. Targets are high yes, however you and I will get there but we wont do overnight. When I do it will be an achievement and a half just on CPU. Conan |

Credit badges
(Message 418)
Posted 9 Apr 2017 by Conan Post: I've added credit badges. The first badge is given for 1,000,000 total credit, the last badge is given for 1,000,000,000 total credit. I chose 1 million as an entry level because there are already 258 users above that value and their contribution is 97.2% of project's total credit. So if you've been active on the project, you should already have one of these badges. Thanks Sergei, looks good. I will one day get a badge of something I am not sure what. Your comment "So if you've been active on the project, you should already have one of these badges." does not quite ring true for me. I have been active on the project since it started, but as I only use CPU's and also run other projects I have yet to attain any badge (total under 400,000 and Amicable Pairs 52), but still going and hope to get them sooner than later.

Are Badges On the Way?
(Message 377)
Posted 28 Mar 2017 by Conan Post: The badges are good and a points total one would also be nice, but as I am only CPU currently, nearly any badge will be a long distant goal which I may or may not reach. It has been a month since this post and no I have not yet reached 100 Amicable Pairs, just 42. I have increased my computing time but this is not going to change much as the GPU's just wipe my poor little CPU's. But I will keep trying, 100, I am on my way (slowly). Conan |

Posted 27 Feb 2017 by Conan Post: You can surely reach "100 amicable pairs" badge, especially now: current WUs have a bit higher density of amicable pairs. I am trying, so far I have just 20, so still some more work to do to get to 100. After 150,000 points I have 20, so after 300,000 may have 40, after 1,200,000 I may have 80 and I may get 100 after 1,350,000 points Of course that is not how they come about but it still means some work ahead for me anyway. I have made a couple of setting changes so I will see what happens. Conan |

Posted 26 Feb 2017 by Conan Post: Great to see progress on the badge front! A few suggestions however... The badges are good and a points total one would also be nice, but as I am only CPU currently, nearly any badge will be a long distant goal which I may or may not reach. When my overall total is equalled per day by each of the top 20 volunteers, I know I am not in their league. But I will still add my little trickle of data as I am sure it will add to the overall progress of the project. The ones that can reach the various badge levels, go for it, I say. Conan |

More than 1000 new amicable pairs found!

Posted 7 Feb 2017 by Conan Post: I have been credited with 12 found Amicable Pairs, however I only have 11 as one of the pairs does not have my name on it (Number 10 in my list) 10 56 "BOINC: Bryan, Bok" 2017 14221265135670852490=2*5*7*11*347*5711*21943*424727 17792582086750962806=2*7*67*71*101*223*347*421*81197 This needs to be credited to the correct people.
