Title: Call to arms?
Post by: chooka03 on January 11, 2025, 01:11:23 PM
Guys, I've noticed that Team Russia is slowly gaining on us for our position of #5th.  :thumbdown:
Currently It's 168 days till they overtake us.

https://www.boincstats.com/stats/5/team/list/0/0#5

Now I've got the Primegrid TdP coming up for Feb, but my thinking is that once the cooler months arrive, perhaps we can give Einstein@Home a little push to keep ahead of Russia.

Einstein@Home is our best performing project and traditionally a crowd favourite because... it just works.

Maybe we could have an AA for Einstein at some stage?

I just wanted to give this to the teams attention and offer a suggestion for the months ahead.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the info Chooka 03.  I now switched over GP's to Einstein

Jumping on the Einstein bandwagon as well. It is a pretty good project

I have limited resources but I will put what I can on Einstein.  Thanks for the update Pete   :fingers

I've switched to Einstein as WCG still non functional.

Thanks guys.
Just for the record though, I myself won't be jumping over till at least after Feb.
Still running the ducted air con and I'm trying to get the team up for NFS still.

I love TdP so I won't miss that but afterwards, I'll do my bit.

Thanks for the help guys  :thumbsup:

I created a spreadsheet of the users in this mini push on Einstein.  HERE (https://1drv.ms/x/c/434976d6b7d356a4/EcVAkZ2bb8RPtsS9emFIfLIB0FyjNdPyPOZEy-l3xx62Kw?e=UICYVq)

Updated the spreadsheet today.  Still going with Einstein and we have 41,024,990,339 credits and Russia Team has 39,708,660,431 credits and BOINCStats estimates they will overtake us in 150 days.

The updated Spreadsheet Pivot Table is HERE (https://1drv.ms/x/c/434976d6b7d356a4/EcVAkZ2bb8RPtsS9emFIfLIB0FyjNdPyPOZEy-l3xx62Kw?e=UICYVq)

Sorry guys, I could not find my returns for Einstein, today the penny dropped. I did not join a team when I put the new computer on the project. All fixed now.  :compbash:

Updated the spreadsheet today.  Still going with Einstein and we have 41,067,793,922 credits and Russia Team has 39,780,992,590 credits and BOINCStats estimates they will overtake us in 139 days eleven days shorter than two days ago so they are still outdoing us in credit.

Is there a chance that we could catch SETI.Germany¿

SETI Germany have over a seven million lead in credits every day so I don't think that is possible.  I do think that Team Russia will overtake us as they are doing over nine million a day more than us, it is inevitable. 

Now that this is the case and a lot of members are going the Primegrid challenge this will be my last update to the spreadsheet.

No Fear not Dingo.... after TdP I'll be on E@H.  :AUS:

I see there is still 35 members crunching Einstein so I have resurrected the spreadsheet although I missed a bunch of days.

Team Russia is now 130 days away from overtaking us so I will switch back as well.  Not that I can contribute much but every little bit helps.

Sadly I just don't think we will be able to fend off Russia  :thumbdown:
They have just the 1 cruncher pumping out (Boincstats is down but I think it's 30Mil/day)  :cry  Edit - Make that 11mil/day
You just can't beat people who ONLY crunch 1 or 2 projects. Just not possible.

I've have to juggle my cpu & gpu work and see what i can do. I can't run both together any more. Not at $30/day in electricity.  :thumbdown:

I'm running out of time to achieve my goals with Gaia@Home. (Because it's Linux based) I really want to keep the team in the top 10 or better for another space based project.

Team Russia are now only 19 days away from overtaking us on E@H with 13 people crunching on their team  :thumbdown:

I'll be backing my words with actions shortly and I'll be on Einstein pretty much full time very shortly. I may have to pause for the next PG challenge but then it's full steam ahead just to burst team Russia's bubble.

It might be worthwhile putting an Einstein AA challenge up for debate around late August before summer arrives? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OMG... :boom:
Team Russia just did a 44Mil day! Now 14 days away from overtaking.  :thumbdown:
I suspect it's one of those anomolies where credits get held up for a bit (perhaps what happened to Pete lately) and then they dump and there's a spike in credits.

Either way.......I'm disappointed that I'll have to cut Gaia early.  :cry

I guess the upside is I'll donate me cpus elsewhere for a bit  :thumbsup: WCG, Rosetta or NFS to take back our 15th position.
Title: Re: Call to arms?
Post by: chooka03 on August 22, 2025, 05:24:49 PM
Well..... a sad day for the team is pretty much here.  :cry
We will lose 5th spot to team Russia. :thumbdown:
Even my 6 x Titan V's that I bought don't help. When you spread your time across multiple projects, it's tough.

Just on that note, I can't see how the Russians get 30Mil/day. I count less than 15mil.... unless the system hasn't updated yet. I count about 17Mil/day.
I can't work it out. Their 28 day average is about 450Mil ish but BOINCSTATS shows 845Mil for the month.

Sad, sad day.  :banghead

Unfortunately they have at least 2 members that consistently crunch over 9 million a day, one has the follwing

Radeon Cards
5 x 7900 GRE
1 x 6900
5 x 6800
2 x 6700
1 x RX Vega

Nvidia Card
1 x RTX 2080 Super

Must have cheap electricity where he lives though, we wouldn't be able to afford the above in any part of Australia unless you had a massive solar system and ran only on super sunny days lol

Kind Regards

Yeah Russia has cheap gas as they mine, refine and distribute so it's almost free for the population

Well..... at least Australia as a country are still WAY ahead!  :thumbsup:
I'll take some comfort in that.  :AUS:
