TPU Fall 2017 WarmUP! (10/27- 10/31/2017)*
*note starts 10/27 at 0:00 UT (10/26 at 8pm eastern time)

Join us to crunch/fold and even get a chance to win some cool stuff!!!

Welcome to the TPU Fall 2017 WarmUP! WCG Challenge
It's finally starting to cool off in a lot of areas so it's time to bring on some digital heat by crunching on our rigs in a new challenge!

Link to the official Challenge results:
TPU Fall 2017 WarmUP! (10/27- 10/31/2017)
https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challenge/viewTeamChallenge.do?challengeId=8620

We have opened this Challenge to show our continued support of the important work done by the World Community Grid and Folding@Home to help the research effort on cancer and other diseases.

The plan:

Have some friendly competition between WCG Teams as well as within our TPU Teams and hopefully get a few of our fellow TPU'ers to join in.

AND

Use this challenge to get our rigs ready for the WCG 13th Birthday Challenge hosted by SETI.Germany (starts 11/16/2017)

Fellow TPU members and WCG crunchers are invited to join our Team to heat up some silicon for a good cause, hang out, have a little fun, and even get a chance to win some nice prizes*
* some restrictions apply- see prize post below

How to join:
* note- This Challenge is for WCG Team crunching. However, we work closely with the TPU folding Team and we will be sharing some of the prizes offered with active TPU folders- If you have a Radeon 7850/GeForce 660Ti or better gpu and want to try folding then you are welcome to do that.

TPU Fall WarmUP! WCG Challenge- Prize Pool
As with many of our Challenges we have a few prizes available :toast:

*Note on Challenge prizes. Our prizes are donated by WCG-TPU Team members "By Cruncher's for Crunchers" for the purpose of assisting the Team to continue to maintain our rigs, grow our membership (or our crunching farms), and to promote the good work of crunching in general.

Prizes (available worldwide):
- 2x $25 paypal gifts donated by @Norton
- 2x $25 paypal gifts donated by @theonedub
- 2x $25 paypal gifts donated by @twilyth
- 1x $25 paypal gifts donated by @Bow

Additional donations are welcome

Requirements/terms to qualify for a prize:
* in order for your name to be drawn- you will need to be an active member of this forum also (we will draw according to forum name so please post if WCG name is different)
- Be an active member of the TPU crunching and/or folding Team prior to 10/25/2017
- Participate* for the duration of the TPU Fall WarmUP! 2017 Challenge
* Daily ppd participation is expected- late comers can be added on a case by case basis

How Random Winners Will be Drawn (see below):

To ensure everyone gets a fair shake and to minimize any potential conflict of interest while maintaining the highest level of transparency- I have drafted a new way to draw winners. The system uses (3) members and works as follows:

Originally Posted by The System
Member 1: This member creates a list of all qualified participants usernames. This list is sent to Member 2.
Member 2: Using the list of names, Member 2 will assign each entrant a unique number. A list of the usernames with the unique numbers is sent back to Person 1. The list of just the random numbers is sent to Member 3.
Member 3: Member 3 has a list of just numbers. They use Random.Org or whatever random system to select which number wins a given prize. The list of winning numbers and the associated prize is then sent back to Member 1.
Member 1: Using the lists, Member 1 ‘decodes’ the winning numbers into the winning usernames and posts the results.
The lists are sent as Private Messages through the forum. This establishes an electronic record of everything while also preventing alterations of lists after the drawing.
When the winning usernames are posted by Member 1, Member 2 can verify that the number belongs to the correct username and Member 3 verifies that the number was actually pulled as a winner.

The system makes sure that there is no bias or other favoritism at play when winners are drawn. Winners are drawn based on a random number instead of usernames- where a possibility exists to redraw if that person doesn’t like who won, draw a friend, draw themselves, pass on new members, or skip doing a random drawing all together.
My hope is that this will alleviate any concerns about drawings and their legitimacy. If it works smoothly, I would like to see this become the new standard when conducting giveaways that have prizes donated by the community.
If there are any questions about this system, drop me a PM.

Note(s):
- If for some reason you cannot participate at the start of the Challenge you may still qualify for the prizes, PM me to discuss your situation and we'll make those decisions on an individual basis

Both systems are crunching away

Aquinus · Oct 28, 2017

Just put the 3820 in the attic to run since I have a circuit up there now. :cool:

Edit: Chilly attic at night is chilly. These are temperatures under full load at stock with it being ~2*C outside:

Code:

Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0:  +45.0°C  (high = +82.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:        +33.0°C  (high = +82.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

My 2 rigs are running for the challenge, but that's about all I can swing right now.

It may be possible to get the last rig running for the next challenge coming up, just gotta plan ahead and schedule some time to mess with things.

Oh, time...

agent00skid · Oct 28, 2017

My stuff is running as well.

Zachary85 · Oct 28, 2017

I added a dual core cruncher last night, and plan to add another dual core today. The part for the last machine should be here on Monday so it will be running Monday afternoon.
