woo hoo!

Are you not planning to run NF on your GPUs? It's not a great GPU project for points, but looking at stats on the web site, a GPU out produces an individual CPU thread.

Now that I have 3 projects running, if the powers that be decided to release another project (like a GPU one) I would need to block uploads or add additional clients. Does anyone have the URLs to add to the host file to block uploads just in case?

From what I am reading should be good to unleash those Rosetta and Number Fields bunkers.

Demonstrate my ignorance I guess. I thought Tdie was the actual temperature and Tctl had an additional value (18) added to it? So a Tctl of 68C is really 50C Tdie and your temps are fine. It was not until some recent kernel that Tctl started showing up in psensor, I have been managing my processors using Tdie.
Or maybe I am just cooking my processor...
Why does the 2700x default to 8 threads instead of 16? I have 2 1700x and they default to 16. If what TicToc was saying about PPD being similar with smt disabled, not sure I would expect a big difference in temps, but I have not done any testing.

So I can unload all these Universe now? And no new project yet?


Or Number Fields is once again the Javelin project...

Amicable Numbers for Cross Country. GPU and CPU project, but its not giving enough GPU work to build a decent bunker so far.

Amicable numbers is running now. Warning it requires 8G of system memory per task, so I had to limit all but one of my systems to one task each. But with all the GPU power on OCN I would think this would be one of our better events.

 

[bfromcolo]

No tasks available...

Thanks for this. I finally had the time to set this up. I have it working on my Win10 rig and I will try the Ubuntu rigs next. Bunkering around 600 projects for Numberfields between the 3 rigs, mostly GPU, and I will fire up the next client when those downloaded tasks are complete.

So if I understand this correctly I block the IP on all my clients. When those projects are complete, I close that instance of BOINC, start "BOINC2", allow the IP to get new projects and then block it again?

That would work but its simpler to stop each client. In BOINC manager under activity select Suspend Network Activity after downloading your bunker.
