Dear Conan,

thank you for ideas. It is nice to see people reacting and proposing new things. We thought of 3 more large animals to proceed that series of badges.
As I understand, the Moose is an American kind (or just the word is), and the Elk is Eurasian. And we definitely have no tigers! :) They live only in the Far East (Pacific coast of Russia). Also, no wild bulls of any kind.

We also think of starting a new series of badges, for the total number of findings instead of the credit. It can be birds of Karelia because they "collect" findings.

No worries,
I think now what I was reading may of been animals of the region during the past few thousand years, so the animals I proposed may of been in the area once but they are no longer there now.

Well of all my animal proposals that only leaves the Golden Eagle and Viper.

There are quite a few bird species in the area, so you have a fairly wide choice.

Conan

Maybe is time to create another "main" badges ,over 100Mil. Like 125,150,175,200,225+... to keep interes on project for "long time" crunchers and hold computers power here..

Now we think about this. But what think other participants?

We made additional check and found that some results wasn't copied into specified directory. Now list of results and set of files must be identical. If it is not heavy - check it please.

Thanks hoarfrost, crunching on to even more ODLS pairs.

Conan

Than you Conan! I remember, that you crunch Einstein@Home in 2005 - at dawn of the project and glad to see you in RakeSearch!

Hello Conan!

Just one more thing that you may of already noticed, is that all previously awarded badges are still there and show totals that the volunteer has not reached yet. Needs to be re-aligned to the new badge system.

Yes, some badges, previously granted to crunchers now to correspond a significantly more high milestones. But:
1. All of this badges has been granted by the rules in force in those several days;
2. Many of milestones of this 48 badges, granted to participants in TOP20 can by achieved by them in near future;
3. All of this participants made a great compute donation to project in its start phase.

Dear all, thank you for feedback, and special thanks to Daniel and Conan for contributions. We thought and ended up with new limits and one new badge, which will appear soon. The badges are split into 4 groups, the first ones are easier to achieve. We also updated their IDs so that the animals go sequentially, otherwise perfectionists (like me) would suffer.

1 Hedgehog 5,000
2 Squirrel 25,000
3 Hare 60,000
4 Weasel 125,000
5 Raccoon 300,000

6 Beaver 500,000
7 Badger 1,000,000
8 Boar 3,000,000
9 Ladoga Seal 7,500,000

10 Fox 10,000,000
11 Wolf 15,000,000
12 Lynx 25,000,000

13 Deer 50,000,000
14 Elk 75,000,000
15 Bear 100,000,000

Hello Conan!

Just wondering what that badge looks like as I don't yet see a new badge on my account.

Yes, because you already awarded to this badge at 12 of November. :)
We publish a new bunch of results, with all participants which found them. Participants who do not have badge for the finds in "current period" - get it.

Thank you!

I have added Linux AVX512 app, and apps for Linux ARM and Linux AARCH64. ARM app was compiled on Odroid XU4 with ARM v7l CPU, I am not sure if it will work on earlier CPU versions - please try and let me know.

I also found that I measured time incorrectly - it turned out that I had checkpoint file created, and I measured time only for last part of calculations. Ooops! :) I have repeated my tests, and got following results. This also includes results for ARM app on Odroid XU4, and AARCH64 app on Odroid CU2:

Original app:
real    54m57.442s
user    54m55.481s
sys     0m0.346s

SSE2:
real    6m2.431s
user    6m0.451s
sys     0m0.030s

AVX:
real    5m45.740s
user    5m43.759s
sys     0m0.026s

AVX2:
real    5m24.624s
user    5m22.626s
sys     0m0.042s

Odroid XU4 - ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)
real    20m37.322s
user    20m35.665s
sys     0m0.155s

Odroid CU2 - AARCH64
real    26m45.051s
user    26m42.920s
sys     0m0.060s

As you can see, this time AVX app has clear advantage over SSE2 one. So this app version should stay.

AARCH64 app is slower that ARM one in this test, but on real WUs it is faster. Total runtime is about 3-4 hours on my devices.

Thanks for this Daniel, great work and your an asset to the project.

Does the Win 32 XP app require a GPU? I installed the download and got the message that "App version needs Open CL and my GPU does not support it" (which it doesn't as it's an AMD/ATI 4800 type). I have not selected GPU for anything so why would that matter?

Still waiting for some work to download to my Linux machines to see the new speed up.

Thanks for your efforts

Conan

No, it is a CPU app. Strange. Where do you see this message?

Only file in the project folder is the run-time app.
