According to today Krembil WCG news, ARP1 project will be restarting "in the coming weeks". Fingers crossed.

Same can be said about PG group which doesn't duplicate what GIMPs is doing now. At least all of these groups complement each other when it comes to prime and/or prime pattern searches.

Well, after 8+ years of contribution to WCG, I manage to sneak into the top 100 point contributors per free-DC stat. The gpu OPNG tasks certainly help to achieve this goal quickly. With cpu tasks, it will take a long long time, lol.

Wishing Rebirther speedy recovery. Hopefully he can train someone to back him up on this project or maybe if this project is of any interest to PG group.

TRP challenge just ended early this morning. We finished 9th for a team of only 5 members. Kudos.

Currently running TRP in the PG challenge.

I can't check it out now as the PC is currently running distributed computing 24/7. I don't have spare DDR5 system. However looking at the Anandtech review for this same exact model number (see picture above), it seems to be Hynix. This module appears to be able to run at 28-36-36-30 at 1.40V...

Upgraded to 64GB module and no longer need this. Manufactured date: Jun 2023. Asking $OLD shipped PP FF. heat: heat 23-0-0

2 days 21 hours remaining... We are neck and neck with the other team.

Oh, just warming up for the pent :LOL:

Note: the marathon project which will be announced on May 2nd (Thu) May 1st (Wed) at 5pm/8pm PT/ET. As stated above the marathon should be the easiest to run (set and forget). We have a dedicated slack channel for those who want to actively discuss strategies, resource allocation, etc during...

SmokeRngs , just overtook you in PG TRP ;)

Unfortunately, you need specific Epyc ROME ES/QS chip with part number ending with suffix -04, iirc. The -05 does not work as I've tried it before. This link here will get you started together with the some discussions and observations...

Looks like our present threat and opportunity come from AMD and Romania team with 4 days and 17 hours left in the race. Where is Holdolin?

I'm undervolting the epyc core voltage and figuring the clock which will operate close to or at peak optimum power-crunching efficiency ;) I can overclock my epyc but this require higher voltage and power and I rarely does that. Got too many warnings on the proof tasks but somehow the credits...

Got 2 failures. Have to dial back the clock to 2.9GHz with Vcore of 0.97V. Average temp for each of the four CCDs looks ok to me. Kill-a-watt shows 215W.

We need moar [H]ordes in the upcoming pent ;)

I didn't know about this change, lol. Now htop is showing the correct cpu core affinity. Thanks!

Not sure if it is working but here are the screenshots with 32-core epyc (SMT disabled) running 4 tasks with each task having 4 cpus. Somehow the htop shows no pinning at all but the run time looks ok? clock freq at 3.1GHz Here is the epyc ccx topology on that rig.

Nice. I saw that in the discord. Thinking if I should switch one rig to PG and test out your py script. 🤔 BTW, 2024 boinc pentathlon is coming soon. The first marathon project will be announced 17 days from now.

Thanks. Don't care about the memory type as I use this card mostly for remote desktop connection for MBs without BMC (IPMI). My PCs can only take standard profile bracket (not the low one).

Looking for one standard profile GT 1030 card. Sold all my GT 710 & 720 cards as the new Nvidia driver no longer supports it. I bought one recently from a forum member here and looking for another one. Thanks!

The 2nd star just turned from sapphire → magenta

Pulled from a working system. This is an 8GB version. All fans are working fine and no coil whine. No original box or accessories. For reference, according to techpowerup gpu database benchmarking at 1080p, this Turing (first Super series) refresh card has an average relative performance of 1%...

pending SOLD!

bump

$[SOLD] shipped in original clam shell. Just pulled from a working PC this morning. I do have the original box with serial number that matches to the cpu. If you want that box, add $10 for shipping. PP F&F or add fees. CONUS48 only. heat 22-0-0 ebay 303-0-0

I recently replaced my 14-year old Canon inkjet printer which drank ink like a fish with HP laserjet MFP which were on sale. Overall HP printer is not all that bad other than the expensive ink and I personally would stay away from this type of printer subscription. Over the past 25 years, I have...

Xeon Haswell can be turbo-boosted on all cores with BIOS hack, though the clock will be reduced when hitting the TDP limit. I had all threads at 2.9GHz easily on 4699v3 (18C/36T) when running non-avx BOINC workload. The 2696v3 is a beast if you can run all 18C/36 threads anywhere from 3.1 or...

The task run time and credit appears to be the same as those that I ran in early 2022 before they migrated to Krembil. I'm running multiple tasks per gpu, usually around 10 concurrent tasks.

There's OPNG work (gpu only) available but you will need to constantly run update to get work. This is related to WCG official news release here targeting "the DNA polymerase of cytomegalovirus" What is cytomegalovirus?

Not even a warm deal but ok deal for those looking to grab RTX 4070 Super below MSRP, newegg has one now for $590...

15% error seems kind of high. In the gpugrid forum someone reported about 5% error on the Titan V. Maybe run nvidia-smi and check if there are any other background processes consuming GPU memory. See screenshot below on my P100. The Firefox web consumes about 143MB. Not much but worth stopping...

At least the P100 has 16GB and chewing these quantum chemistry tasks smoothly without any issue. ;)

To by pass this, I fired up new instances and go back to the original host after 24 hours have elapsed. Got to work around some of the idiosyncrasies that plague some of the boinc projects. Yeah, they don't make it easy like set and forget thing. Also, this daily quota limit usually is imposed...

The next best project for VII in terms of PPD is the Meerkat BRP7. For Nvidia, use the special apps here but only on linux system.

For task requiring wingman, just like in pent, you want to download enough tasks as early as possible to improve validation rate, hence likely that some crunchers may have downloaded a lot during the early part of the race ;)

The 4th star goes from bronze → silver

Radeon VII will do about 2.1M PPD on GW work. See my post here. Best is to stagger each task after the cpu initialization portion has completed and run multiple tasks per gpu. I only evaluated running 5 tasks. The GW run time benefits when paired with fast cpu.

Same here too. PG&E = Please Go & Ejaculate. Honestly, I don't want this company here. Anyway off topic.
