@bfromcolo I guess I never looked at the projects that closely before. I assumed that the projects that showed up as pending, in manager, were the only ones that were pre downloaded, but these had been pulled days ago and are due tomorrow, so that's probably why they showed up today. Thanks for the info.

I guess 2xxx are supported. Min driver version is 440.33 which is pretty recent.

That was a pretty good fight for 11th. I was able to crunch around 850 projects. I have some new hardware coming in, so I should be able to step it up a bit for the next sprint.

 

[franz]

Did we put in a vote for the next Formula BOINC project? Starting in 2 days

 

[mmonnin]

Not for this week. What's a suggestion?

 

[franz]

It starts tomorrow, Collatz was chosen.

EDIT: I dont really care which project we run, I still dont know enough about them to know what we might be competitive in. I currently have an i5 2500K, i5 4790K, and now a Ryzen 1700X. I have 2 GTX1070 and a RTX2060 to go along with those setups.

Collatz is a GPU project that gives out pretty high points. I ran the crap out of it every BGB, which is pretty much how I got so many points in Collatz.

I will throw a few GPUs at it, since I don't think I've ran Collatz in quite some time. :thumb:

Running it on my GPUs and CPUs, but just noticed CPU projects are super slow...2 projects with 3-4 day estimated completion lol

 

[mmonnin]

You'll need the config file too if the project still uses that. It's been a long time since I've ran collatz.

 

[tictoc]

The config file is still used, and I actually had to remove and then re-add Collatz since I haven't ran it since they updated the app after the cheating shenanigans.

What is the config file? I did a new setup since I haven't run this project before. I also disabled CPU processing, because too slow.

The config file is a blank file that will ship with the rest of the project files. The config file can be used to tune the application for maximum performance. Word of warning, if you max out the performance your GPU will run very hot and be under a very heavy load.

I just crashed my system, because I used my normal max performance config and didn't think about the fact that my 5700XT is running on the stock blower cooler. Needless to say it rapidly warmed up to throttling temps, and then crashed the driver. :doh:

Here is a link to the thread on the Collatz forum with example configs. https://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz/forum_thread.php?id=8
There are also quite a few examples in the last few pages of our Collatz thread: https://www.overclock.net/forum/180...ollatz-conjecture-project-support-thread.html

+ virtual rep

Finally found the file on the ubuntu rig, I will have to play with this tomorrow when I have more time to monitor temps and usage.

 

[franz]

I plugged in the recommended values for the 1070s in my ubuntu rigs. I saw a decrease in project time from around 14-15 minutes to 8-9 minutes, with little impact on GPU temps. Its actually throttling a bit because its hitting the power limit, so temps dropped 1-2c.

I used the same values for my 2060, but Im tweaking it here and there to see if it can push a little harder with the extra L2 cache and improved turing architecture. FYI dont try to run threads=9 on a 2060.........

 

[mmonnin]

MW is the FB Sprint event.

Fire up those FP64 GPUs.

 

[tictoc]

Late to the party, but I'm rolling now.

 

[bfromcolo]

Doh! Will get something going.

 

[neyel8r]

recently found out about this & hope to contribute a smidge toward the next sprint :thumb:

 

[neyel8r]

looks like http://bearnol.is-a-geek.com/wanless2/ has been chosen for this upcoming sprint

 

[tictoc]

I didn't know WEP-M+2 was still around. It is a pretty long running BOINC project, but it is a one man show running on limited hardware so it could be interesting.

Looks like its Linux only, so Im guessing VM in windows would work?
