anybody know why Einstein is still using 1 cpu core per unit with these settings

<app_config>
<app>
<name>hsgamma_FGRPB1G</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.2</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

PDW · 16 Aug 2017 at 20:58

I don't believe the tasks take any notice of the cpu_usage tag figure, they take what they want (if they can get it).

In other news, the US Navy are about to sail past us in Numberfields...

ozaudio · 16 Aug 2017 at 21:18

we simply don't have enough cpu power to stop that happening lol. not unless we give us getting to 1st on pogs. are you putting anything on there PDW?

as for Einstein, never mind ill just have to leave it running 1 gpu unit at a time using 1 cpu core

@Texas_Connectio were are you hiding? lol.
@tipes what you running now? pogs or still on vgtu

ozaudio · 17 Aug 2017 at 18:47

does anybody know who Stephen ord is? we need people like him to help with the sprints as he has new and fast hardware.

Im on the lookout for server memory

What type of server memory you after?

DDR3 ECC 10600 or 12800 by any chance?

@Matzo I see you added another system to your fleet.
GenuineIntel
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz [Family 6 Model 44 Stepping 2]
(24 processors)

Ah yeah. Just looking at the stats it seems to be getting through the tasks way faster than the same servers with the 2.40GHz CPUs of the same generation.

so todays challenge starts for 3 days.. milkyway@Matzo
@Matzo if you have any gpus, you could sign up and aim them at milkyway

@Texas_Connectio you have more than likely already seen and know it starts tonight
@Ivyforce
@Engy Benjie

I'm away this evening for the weekend but I'll quickly see what I can do.

I'd try lower CPU usage in the config, and lower your percent of CPU used in the manager if that doesn't help.

Here's mine:

<app_config>
<app>
<name>hsgamma_FGRPB1G</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>.49</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.001</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
<app>
</app_config>

ozaudio · 25 Aug 2017 at 06:37

ill give that a try tony

cheers

@Biffa a gpu comp that you'd do well in

@Lee , are you lee Dixon? if so not fancy running some more milkyway for the good of the ocuk challenge:

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/hosts_user.php?userid=122785

this is you?

@Acme , if you arnt still mining, ( well even if you are

) come help the team out lol

Biffa · 26 Aug 2017 at 18:55

@ozaudio When does it start?

PDW · 26 Aug 2017 at 19:58

@Biffa it already has, runs until tomorrow night, tis the time to let loose the Titans of war...

Biffa · 27 Aug 2017 at 00:12

I'll take a look, hold on a min

Biffa · 27 Aug 2017 at 01:04

ok up and running, will do what I can

ozaudio · 27 Aug 2017 at 03:35

wow biffa 6 x rx 470s? no wonder we over took evga lol

6x GPU's? Got to post some photos of that rig! Celeron Processor though? How is all that setup?

Notice you've been going since 2009 starting with SETI, remembering those classic units now. Started not long later in 2001 however I've not racked up any where near the amount of credit.

I'm guessing it's his mining rig

Boinc since 2009, but I was a classic SETI cruncher since 1999. Ended up 295'th in the world in SETI, and 9th in the OcUk team, who by the way ended up top of the league when classic finished.

Yeah I seen you started back in 1999. Huge contribution over the years. I know quite a few people who dropped out when it all went BOINC, including me actually until 2011 when I gave MilkyWay a go.

There's some impressive rigs on that thread. Will have to do a post or two, although the front end of a few servers won't seem that impressive in comparison.

Had an idea just then about creating a bespoke rig made up of a bunch of rescued i3 motherboards and processors. Might make for an interesting project and a few good snaps.
