    Join Us for the 17th #WCGBirthdayChallenge 2021 Event!

    Glad to participate in the challenge and running full CPU/Thread support 24-7 with the much cooler Texas weather.

    15th WCG Birthday Challenge

    Vester: You are a dedicated cruncher and I fully support your individualized settings of project "Preferences". I am concerned that any advice I give you on the Second Edit, particularly, would only confuse the issue. I am surprised that the experts out there have not already posted to give you...

    15th WCG Birthday Challenge

    Vester: A bit of good news; The world Community Grid is a "CPU" only driven research project.

    November 2018 - BOINCstats Team Challenge - GPUGrid

    Now that cool-to-cold weather has arrived I particularly enjoy the challenge of being able to direct all equipment to be fully committed continuously for the GPUGrid challenge. BUT, unfortunately there are no tasks currently available to permit getting a head-start on being the leaders of the...

    I sent a msg to the Administrator a couple days back and thanked the researchers for the extra effort of providing tasks for the Challenge. They are doing swell.

    My compliments to the GPU Grid folks; they came through quickly with a lot of work.

    October 2018 - BOINCstats Team Challenge - GPUGrid

    Just downloaded 4 long-running tasks, 2 each on my two better cards, GTX 1060's. And yes I made sure SETI was set to zero share; thanks.

    October 2018 - BOINCstats Team Challenge - GPUGrid

    Unfortunately here we go again in that we want to be Team players and likewise support the organized challenges sponsored by CSF but once again there are currently no GPU tasks available from GPUGRID for our Team to start our contribution and of course no indication when work will become...

    WCG THOR Challenge Y3 (2018)

    Unfortunately my concern came to pass but I salute Team Italy in their ability to pass us and obvious add the computing power to take over the #10 position. I did add 3 threads to the effort with a laptop with i3 CPU but that hardly at all overcame the Adriatic bordering great Italians.

    WCG THOR Challenge Y3 (2018)

    Good morning from Central Texas and just checked the crunching statistics: Team ITALY is nipping at our heels and the stats show that unless we add more power NOW the men and women of Italy will probably pass us and drop us to position 11 by the end of this day. The temperature outside has...

    September - BOINCstats Team Challenge - GPUGrid

    It appears that more work is coming down the wire for GPUs but here we are over half way through the CSF sponsored competition and yet I find it considerably difficult to secure enough GPU tasks to keep even one card crunching continually. Dr. Bob do you think it might do some good if you...

    July - BOINCstats Team Challenge - GPUGrid

    Daytime temp in Central Texas now exceeds 100F/35C ; am now reducing equipment, GTX 1060, to one operating 24 hours and an additional GTX 1060 at night. Two lesser GPUs are shut down.

    July - BOINCstats Team Challenge - GPUGrid

    Nick Name: Thanks for your comments; however I did not make clear that principally when I addressed the HEAT issue I should have said ROOM temp because with 4 GPUs and 18 CPUs running the bedroom converted to an office gets real uncomfortably warm; so far no problem on operating temps of the...

    WOW; I just checked the stats on the current challenge and TEAM USA is leading the pack by about 51,000,000.

    July - BOINCstats Team Challenge - GPUGrid

    Decision Reversed Again: I purchased and placed in service two GTX 1060s last evening and obviously productivity jumped solidly as did the room temperatures. The previously mentioned GTX 550ti and GTX 750ti never downloaded a single task. The GTX660 is successful but requires over 20 hours to...

    July - BOINCstats Team Challenge - GPUGrid

    Decision REVERSED: I am so very solidly impressed with the RESPONSES I received that I am going to participate in the challenge within the capabilities of my equipment: Dell XEON > 750ti; Dell i3> 550ti; HP i7> 660; all GTXs. I also have an i3 Notebook obviously without a GPU and an OLD Dell...

    July - BOINCstats Team Challenge - GPUGrid

    My clear intention was to participate in the Challenge and I had configured my equipment to do just that and then I researched and subsequently realized that my GPUs are of the ANTIQUE variety and are ineligible to participate: GTXs 750ti, 660 and 550ti. I have considered upgrading all GPUs but...
