max1024 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) I have read future task competition and saw that in some tests its need to get 2 and 3 results from the Team. Is it possible to change the rules so that only one better result is enough? For small Teams 5-10 persons, finding 2-3 identical HW is very turbulent and problematic, enother words impossible. https://d1964r093mwb8w.cloudfront.net/Competitions/1971-1974_TeamCup2017/TeamCup17-banner-1920x1080.png Background Edited July 1, 2017 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted June 29, 2017 Administrators Share Posted June 29, 2017 This is a three month event which we already made a bit less voluminous than last team cup. I am well aware of the fact that the team cup always is a big challenge especially for smaller teams, but when we design it dominated by 1 result stages only, will this be a team cup in the end when one guy can cover it alone? We see this problem each year. We have one stage (latest gen 1151 cpu) with 5 results, and all others are max three apart from ddr race. It is not easy and I will start discussion about this but personally I am not happy with the idea to make this a single player campaign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Keep it 'team' oriented. FWIW, W9 has only 6 or less actively competing benchers and we seem to manage the top 5 every year. It can be done, it's just more work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzie Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 the team cup is just what it says, "a team event", if it is 1 player from a team then it isnt a team event, its 1 member from any particular team, its not a team participation spread over the team and a team participation is the whole idea of the TEAMS CUP competition in my view and how i percieve its meaning, the teams cup requires strategy, cunning, communication and tenacity for the "team" to become the winning team or place getters, along with good hardware and good software installation and useage imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulstation Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 some questions: SC1: CPU 2D Stage 6: Cinebench R15 S939. i asume no 1** opterons alowed? SC3: MISC 1 Stage 3 : pifast LGA775. i asume no 771 on 775 board alowed? stage 4 : Memory Frequency. can we use fb-dimm on the intel d5400xs?

Administrators websmile Posted June 30, 2017 Administrators Share Posted June 30, 2017 We wanted to allow opterons there as special service for 939, I think we do allow them indeed, On other stages no server cpus. 771 cpus are not allowed and memory is ddr1,ddr2,ddr3 and ddr4 one result each. If you want to use fb dimmsgood luck, normal mems will beat you by hundreds of mhz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noxinite Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Where's the background? Apologies for my impatience.

WhiteWulfe Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 It's now almost 08:00 MDT, which makes it almost 14:00 UTC. Any word on when we're going to get our competition background as it's halfway through the first day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR4G00N Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'm wondering since we can use Opty's for R15 s939 are we also allowed to use said CPU's for DDR1 max frequency using s939? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted July 1, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 1, 2017 Yes, you can as these are allowed as exception for the team cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TASOS Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 At first sight , i was surprised seeing MaxxMem , at Team Cup (after all those chat's about buggs and flies of this benchmark) But after looking closer ... what a relief It was Maxmem this time.

Phewww .- P.S. Dont you dare and tell me , i've got a bad sense of black humor After division results brought final proof of maxxmem being non reliable and not acceptable anymore for competetive benching we do not need another test. We will repace the benchmark on monday. Benching this stage atm no need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAGG Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Is it a rule to use ddr 1-4 for sc stage 1? Because if not RD and FB are actually good replacements for DDR1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted July 2, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 2, 2017 ddr1-4, fb dimm is ddr2 and rdram is different technology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAGG Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 They are individual types of memory in the database though and judging by the stage description it should be possible to use them instead of DDR1... In the limitations it doesn't say DDR technology, so it might be good to add that info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggles Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Are we allowed to use hardware that comes out during the competition? A lot of good X299 mobos and rumors of Threadripper coming out before the comps over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
