It's a minimal install with no GUI (ssh into it to fire off commands)

Ok... finally installed BOINC on a 2700X

#

Well installing.

#

Just going to do marathon since I'll have like 5 mins to myself this week.

#

If it doesn't take too much time to setup, I'll do it on all of my 2700X machines and possibly my 1950X.

#

@proven marlin Does the LTT FAQ apply to the marathon?

#

Never mind. The 2nd half of the OP was invisible to me fore some reason.

Actually is there a guide to JUST setup for marathon? @proven marlin @rich depot

Not exactly, just run the boinc client, sigh up to world community grid and selec team and sub projects, I put the two links up on the event thread over on the forum a day or two ago.

rich turtle May 6, 2019, 5:46 PM

I'll try and find them when I get home then. Unless you want to PM them to me, then I can do it now. @rich depot

rich depot May 6, 2019, 5:47 PM

just add the project, on the advanced view of BOINC just go to 'tools' then 'add project'.

after that select WCG, make an account and then go to the website and select OpenZIKA only.

@rich turtle single-threaded performance and workload ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

If anyone has an issue getting BOINC to work on Win10, WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is known to have an issue with the later versions. Removing WSL will fix the issue after a reboot. The more you know. Specifically, WSL prevents the BOINC Client from opening port 31416, which is the port it uses to do its work from.

Apparently I'll have the silver badge within 12 hours, and the Gold badge by Saturday, then the Ruby badge by next Tuesday at this rate? How do these day calculations even work...
Just started this yesterday, so their calculations are really weird. I understand is a computational value, and not based on typical human time values, but this is a single day's worth of work, yet it thinks it's a full month... in 36-ish hours... https://dooleylabs.com/c0hpdh.png

Not flexing here, if that even is a thing with this, but I pointed a few machines that don't do a ton at it, and these numbers really don't make sense to me. At this point anyone should be able to reach this if they're running on a modern multi-thread processor with a low daily load.

Could have a 3g fail over if you wanted to be super hardcore

#

Also is CPU performance better for most Boinc/folding tasks or GPU? Or a balance of the two?

rich depot May 9, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

That depends

#

Folding loves CUDA

#

There are a few BOINC tasks where a Vega 64 can match a 1080ti

#

And then CPU tasks for various projects vary, yoyo@home will just eat ram

#

Talking like 4-6gb per thread for some WUs

bold flame May 9, 2019, 11:15 AM

#

Ahh ok, Im just planning on making a dedicated folding/boinc server but idk if it needs more powerful cpus or gpus. Because i have two rx480s spare that I might use for it

rich depot May 9, 2019, 11:16 AM

#

It depends 100% what projects got wanna do, there's some research involved with BOINC. Personally I'm a folder usually, top 0.05% world wide

bold flame May 9, 2019, 11:17 AM

#

Ive had issues with folding, it didnt want to stop

rich depot May 9, 2019, 11:17 AM

#

In both cases, BOINC and folding you need to have one free CPU thread per Nvidia GPU, AMD CPUs don't have this limitation

#

Also how so?

#

I've never had an issue like that

bold flame May 9, 2019, 11:19 AM

Yeah i couldnt stop it until i had to rip it out, the website ui thing could connect/didnt do anything when i clicked stop.

You can either right click on the tray icon and open it from there or launch it by searching fahcontrol

#

I have had so many issues with BOINC this pentathlon urgh

bold flame May 9, 2019, 11:23 AM

I think i did try to launch/stop it from the tray icon as well but it didnt care for that either. might of been because it was using everything my computer had but meh. This was about two years ago so it might be fine now. I only have a problem with BOINC when I do something bad usually

rich depot May 9, 2019, 11:24 AM

You ever tried to run multiple projects at the same time? Bad JuJu happens

bold flame May 9, 2019, 11:25 AM

bold flame May 9, 2019, 11:26 AM

Well it was fine

#

The 480's would do boinc and the 1080ti would game

But sometimes with dx12 stuff or some other games it would make the game shit itself

An impressive effort in yoyo for the last 24 hours, 24 more hours left of yoyo@home. Once this has passed pour all of your cores into the marathon as quickly as you can.

In 24 hours Einstein@home will commence, this is a GPU event, there are CPU work units but please don't crunch then, they are not worth it.

Also keep in mind we still have one discipline to go, the sprint, I will try to keep you posted on any update for the sprint.

Once the sprint is announced I want us all to throw every CPU at it we can, let's make a name for ourselves!

silver wing May 13, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

It was the 3 extra I added today I think, if I didn't trigger an alarm nobody would notice

#

Because it doesn't really matter

#

Until I raise the power too high that if one of the feeds fails it can't balance/move the increase to the other and the cabinet shuts down

#

when A + B = more than 1 you'll have a bad time :p

Yea, dual feed to each but you can't go over 50% per feed otherwise you'll exceed 100% in a failure

Triple single phase makes it less of a problem since in a single failure you're only have to move 33% and across two

I was using it back before it got changed to that during microsoft's TAP program, from memory it's install footprint was around 300mb. Not even cli console, was exactly like a ESXi host in a lot of ways but you could still run server roles on it like AD, DNS, DHCP, File Services

The background shit isn't actually in the NT kernel

What are the kinds of load averages that you see on your system while doing BOINC?

#

I'm developing a technology that saves a lot of power, when the load averages are lower, say when BOINC is done it's batch, and is waiting on the next batch to arrive.

@opaque goblet if it's set up right there should be practically no downtime

opaque goblet May 19, 2019, 5:30 PM

So 100% load average. Even between the stages of mass calculations, and sending/receiving jobs. When it would likely be more of a single core CPU job for gathering/compacting/sending results.

Unless you have free power that's a bad idea quickly

During the boinc pentathlon the total power usage across the servers I setup for it was around 10kwh, so 240 kwh per day. Grab your power bill and look at your per unit price and do some quick math on how much you'd have to pay for a full month 😉

Looking for new BOINC Team Leader

Hello folks! So, as many will undoubtedly have noticed, I havent been super active on the forums in recent times (sorry about that -- extremely busy in meatspace life with job and such stuff). Even more terribly, I have not actually been generating BOINC credits (that one has...

What would be a good half height gpu for folding/Boinc stuff that has good cost to performance? I was looking at some of the Amd workstation stuff but idk if there is a better alternative or not

rich depot Jun 11, 2019, 11:41 AM

#

Half height, I think the best Nvidia has is a 1050ti but it is dual slot @bold flame

bold flame Jun 11, 2019, 6:33 PM

#

Hmm.. So there isn't really any higher power gpus that are half height?

rich depot Jun 11, 2019, 7:53 PM

#

Not that I know of

silver wing Jun 12, 2019, 12:39 PM

#

Not cheap ones, there's options in the server range but $$$

rich depot Jun 12, 2019, 1:20 PM

#

Yeah, I wasnt really going to go into that as the perf/dollar is that bad you may as well build a new system that can fit standard cards

dusky jungle Jun 13, 2019, 1:32 AM

#

Is F@H still being really used anymore? I don't see many who use it anymore and I certainly never hear of it anymore.

#

Other thing - anyone know why F@H is allergic to my 1030? It wasn't working with it at all so I re-installed F@H and while it recognizes it, it stays at "ready"and doesn't actually fold

proven marlin Jun 13, 2019, 1:48 AM

F@H still seeing plenty of output by teams:

dang.. I'm surprised many of those teams still have a decent number of active users including Brony@Home, 48.

Especially considering there has only been 1 post, reply even on the Brony@Home forums, and that being in the BOINC section. whew

@dusky jungle Did you have an AMD GPU in the system before the NV card?

dusky jungle Jun 13, 2019, 9:10 AM

#

@rich depot Yes actually. 260x(it died).

#

I thought I removed the drivers.

rich depot Jun 13, 2019, 9:10 AM

#

You need to run DDU on the system before F@H will work

dusky jungle Jun 13, 2019, 9:11 AM

DDU?

rich depot Jun 13, 2019, 9:11 AM

Ah okay thanks
I'll look into it tomorrow. I'm in bed

rich depot Jun 13, 2019, 9:12 AM

You will probably need to DDU both drivers and reinstall the NV driver you want after that. Do it in safe mode, AMD Driver>restart>NV driver> restart>install wanted driver>restart

@rich depot There's a lot of used Tesla Kepler cards on ebay for cheap, K20x for as low as $100 USD

I can't imagine they are particularly good at folding though?

Like what kinda PPD would you get with one?

silver wing Jun 13, 2019, 10:15 AM

they are above a GTX 1060 and below a 1070

roughly the same as the P4 I'm using atm

rich depot Jun 13, 2019, 10:16 AM

Guessing more power hungry though

silver wing Jun 13, 2019, 10:17 AM

so like 8 of them would be about 15% slower but for twice the power ish

so 1600W ish lol

outer solar Jun 17, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

My paranoia for electricity consumption envelopes my enthusiam for Folding

#

Also, I still have that damn problem where my CPU pegs itself to max clock whenever I do GPU Folding and nobody could ever figure out why, it made my CPU super hot as a by product

#

Probably made like three LTT threads about it and every single time it was "Oh that's not supposed to happen idk"

#

It's all normal usage at idle 0.8GHz on my 8600K but as soon as I would turn on GPU Folding, it would peg itself to 4.9GHz on all 6 cores

@rich depot, welp...seems I'm not going to get folding done this week. A/C unit issues just keep getting worse. Bad capacitor and now the unit has no charge inside it and probably a possible leak in the evaporator.

@stuck bramble Yeah, but I didn't wasted so much on it (like 39€ which not a lot) and at least I found something to do with it instead of leaving it unused for a month ^^

#

And to be fair, I though of terminating it 2 days ago (as I didn't had a use for it anymore) and I didn't though about the "terminate before the 19th" thing at that moment. Welp, I guess it will fold for a month then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Has anyone done any testing with the new Zen 2 CPUs as to how they perform at folding?

#

Multi-Boxing? You can have as many machines folding contributing to your account as you like, however to enter the contest you need to register with a F@H account linked to your forum username. You're only allowed one account on the forums.

#

So only one account/entry for the event

#

Yeah using multiple PCs is fine. Quite a few of the hardcore folders have several machines dedicated to folding. Just log in to your account on each machine with your username, passkey, and team ID# 223518 and it'll contribute to your F@H user and to the LTT team

just wondering if it's normal for when folding is set to full power the CPU is running at 94% (sounds normal to me) but the GPU is running at only 3-5%

running a 2700x and a 1070ti if that matters

fierce steppe Aug 17, 2019, 9:28 AM

@trail escarp Task Manager in Windows doesn't show the usage properly. You have to click on the GPU and then one of the graphs change to "Cuda" and it should show >95% usage for the card.

also should I use their client or boinc

fierce steppe Aug 17, 2019, 11:17 AM

#

Good idea to get set up ahead of time, make sure everything is working and assigning points properly, as well as gives you time to dial in any overclocks and undervolts to hit that sweet spot in performance & efficiency.
No idea about Linux support, check the F@H website FAQ install guide for Linux and it should tell you the requirements
Use F@H client

Please be aware that the community prizes will be done through a lottery system, probably with extra prizes for the top 100 or so, but realistically you don't need to come in first to get a prize.

You've got like 5 weeks till the event my friend @vernal oasis

vernal oasis Aug 17, 2019, 4:30 PM

Yeah, hopefully the RMA will finish by then

@vernal oasis

I have folding atm, 1080ti hybrid, 1080 hybrid, 1080 FE, 980 ti super jetstream and a 980 FE

Hoping to either add an RTX 2060 or swap out the 980 for one before the start of the event

vernal oasis Aug 17, 2019, 6:51 PM

I don't fold that much and I use 8700K and 2080

Although my 2080 is in RMA, so currently just cpu

I actually pay extra to have 100% renewable power too

vernal oasis Aug 17, 2019, 6:52 PM

it's 0.34 USD per kWh here

rich depot Aug 17, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

I'm paying about 0.21GBP KWh for fully renewable

vernal oasis Aug 17, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

Didn't know you could choose that

#

Maybe a british thing

rich depot Aug 17, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

Across europe its becoming more common

#

My supplier has 33% renewable as standard, then you can pay extra for 100%

vernal oasis Aug 17, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

Ah

#

I'm in northern europe

rich depot Aug 17, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

If you are in a nordic country you'll be running 30-60% renewable anyway

Them guys are getting crazy with the green power, germany is catching up fast though

You need to change "copy" to "Cuda" to see it

97% looks a lot better than 5% haha

yeah, I also asked that to lol

rich depot Aug 17, 2019, 11:13 PM

yeah, it seemed to be performing well, so I was confused as to the 5%. Thanks W10 for not showing Cuda by default lol

#

Doesnt make much sense to show CUDA as default as most people dont care about it

#

but.. I care about all the little CUDA's pepeCry

I have 5 green team cards, I too care

Q: Can I use F@H and BOINC at the same time, or it does not matter which one I choose

steady moss Aug 18, 2019, 11:37 PM

I'm signed up but it requires 100 points and 20 days of prior activity

Where do you donate steam keys?

100k points earned and 20 days of activity during the event, which takes place in the month of October.

Automatic generator changeover switch (with schematic).

This was a lot of fun to reverse engineer. Mainly because it's very old-school inside. It's an automatic changeover switch for a backup generator supply. Whe...

It will fluctuate based on the WU you are currently running, don't worry too much about it @coral apex

from 600k to 140k ?

rich depot Aug 20, 2019, 11:42 PM

F@H is still having errors when reporting QRB credit, if your estimated credit is the same as your base credit then just ignore the number, as the QRB credit will still be awarded once it is submitted to the collection server

Damn Gigabyte! They released an update to their Aorus Engine that must have tweaked the profiles. Effectively all of my overclock profiles have been boosted by 50MHz by the update.
My profiles which used to be 2037MHz are now 2088MHz and kept crashing 😡
Now basically stock settings are boosting to 2037MHz which is the edge of stable for my card

Hey guys. I am trying to contribute to the LTT folding team. I am new to folding and only have about half a million points and 23 WUs. I have set up the team id and on my account it says I am contributing to the team. However when I go on the team members list, I do not see my name there. I notice that I have way less points than everyone on the team, is this the reason I don't show up?

quasi edge Aug 23, 2019, 11:45 AM

@rich turtle Do you have a name/reference for this rackmount case? (Nice rig btw)

rich turtle Aug 23, 2019, 12:47 PM

Rosewill RSV-R4100-4U

#

You have to gut it if you use larger cards. I knew this going in though. It's all NVMe storage, so losing the drive bays was fine for me.

quasi edge Aug 23, 2019, 1:35 PM

#

Ok! Well, nothing that can't be fixed with some 3D printing/DIY stuff if I really need

#

(Like the LTT way, using double sided tape to mount SATA SSDs)

rich turtle Aug 23, 2019, 3:52 PM

#

@quasi edge Yep. As it is I had to tape the 5.25 bay covers in place because they were held up by the drive mounting stuff. Getting a custom magnetic dust filter made to go in the spot for airflow.

This is such a good activity to learn more about what your computer can take in prolonged loads, as opposed to quick-fire benchmarks that don't always give enough time to test stability, especially if the machine has a lot of power to bear at the start.
