I am interested to know whether or not the current project that is running Homo Sapiens (OneGenE - FANTOM-1) has a estimated completion date?

Valter just added "ETA" column in the Science Status page :) https://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/gene_science.php

I suggest to download ALL 3 binaries, and a mini-benchmark (mini workload for a few minutes of your actual application). Then use whatever binary that delivers the best results.

Don't worry. after somme wu completed and validated, the server select automatically the best version

I understand that it will recheck occasionally but Iâ€™ve never noticed it doing so on my machines.

You can see your current performanche here http://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/show_host_detail.php?hostid=62240
click near by "Application details" it will show this page http://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/host_app_versions.php?hostid=62240

as you can see, FMA is currently faster on your pc

Work generator is up and running, but no wus are available...

One software technician of the University of Trento will shortly attend a dedicated training course offered by AMD about HIP/ROCm, this will eventually provide us some needed skills in order to develop a GPU application

That's an awersome news

The Sprint is announcend only 24h before start (this night at 2:00 UTC)
Folks already catch all available WUs

"Running" WUS jumps from 40k to 70k in a very short time (see here: https://munin.kiska.pw/munin/tngrid-day.html ) and unfortunately Work generator can't keep pace. Slowly, it will recover

CHALENGE IS OVER !!!

Here the final ranking: http://boincrankings.eu5.org/wgec21/classifica.php?id=1000

Congratulation to Planet 3DNow! for the victory
Congratulation to In Science We Trust for 2nd place
Congratulation to Boinc.Italy for 3rd place

Special thanks to Aurum, GIPICS, and eiernacken1983 for providing all this power which allowed them to lead the user' ranking

Thanks you all for joining.
Even with some difficulties due to low wu availability, the challenge was a success..

21 TEAMS produced 34.994.000 CREDITS (double the result of the previous edition)

here are some estimates of the work done during the challenge:

- almost 260.000 wu completed
- 440 genes processed

Thanks again and see you at next year's challenge :)

I understand that there are actually 2 Rankings (BoincStats vs BoincRankings). Since ISWT is at first place in BoincRankings, but not listed in the BoincStats-Challenge this is really weird.
I asssume, BoincStats is the official one?
Thank you in advance for clearing this up.

I apologize for this confusion.
Our plan was to integrate the BOINCstats ranking with ours, in order to include the teams that failed to sign up from BOINCstats.
Since everything is going smoothly, we can consider BOINC Rankings to be the official one.
Hence, BOINCstats will be used as a backup.
I apologize again for not making this clear.

in addition to what Valterc said you need to consider that 8wu per core is already limited buffer.
For cpu with 64thread or less, considering the average wu duration equal around 30hours buffer.. It's not a lot

Even a 512wu per hos limit could be considered low.
Nowadays a 128thread machine is not so rare to find on a boinc projet
in the future they will grow further their number

Hi
I just talked to the adminin to improve the job availability situation.

For those with jobs that would go beyond the deadline, not already started,it is preferable to abort them BEFORE deadline.
In this way the wu will only be renamed an resend straight away.

For wu expired, wu generator, need to create a new wu

Another thing: he set for the first time, a "grace period" of 8hours after deadline, within which, THEORETICALLY, wus will be considered valid.
NO GUARANTEES ON THIS. IF YOU WANT, TRY AT YOUR HOWN RISK

Personally, i will try with few wu to give a feedback

Thanks

As xii5ku said, the problem here is the peak of high request of wu, and work generator can't keep the pace.
If i remember correctly work generator can create 294wu (x2 copies =588) every 10 miutes.

An example was the peak on Thursday morning: "Running wus" skyrocketed from 28k to 50k in few hours. "Available wus" dropped to around 5k.
When this peak wave passed away, then itslowly recovered to 15k

we are definitely pushing the project to its limit

Pending wus will drop at the at the start of the challenge

Here some ideas https://www.gemrockauctions.com/it/learn/additional-gemstone-information/a-list-of-precious-and-semi-precious-gemstones-and-their-treatments

If possible, maybe you can transfer Diamont to 1 Billion
An introduce a 100milions 250milions and 500milions

My Votes are for Amethyst, Aquamarine, Pearl or Mystic Quartz ;)
