hwo does boinc work

silver wing Mar 21, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

pretty much the same as FAH

#

but you need to do a lot more signups as each group project is basically an entire FAH itself

#

but the BOINC client makes it easy and provides the links

@silver wing Exactly. I saw that earlier and I had no idea what they were smoking when they thought of that.
If it was top teams in 24hour period it would at least be interesting

pcmr is the same as default?

thats what came when i searched for pcmr on F@H

fierce steppe Mar 21, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

No. Default and PCMR are different teams

PCMR is currently ranked 19th overall, though is quickly rising

Default is the team that your points go towards if you do not choose another team

does f@h benefit from cpu-heavy systems? i've got some many-core servers idling that i can throw at this but i think i recall it's a gpu workload really?

mystic hollow Mar 21, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

most jobs are GPU jobs, but there are CPU jobs here and there. ask @silver wing about huge core counts, he was just mentioning some issue today

rich depot Mar 21, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

His issues were related to a firewall, not directly to the core count itself

#

whats boinc? does it also do similar stuff as F@H?

#

does it also use the GPU and CPU as much as F@H?

#

because I might just do Boinc with my laptop

#

Boinc is the same idea, different software, different causes

#

But both use your system to calculate scientific stuff that most of us don't understand, but helps the smart people who do

#

Btw, does anybody know when team statistics get updated? I know its kinda trivial compared to handing out tasks but just wondering

successfully folding on a random GTS 460 I had laying around collecting dust

drifting otter Mar 21, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

I thought about folding on an old 760. but I gather it might be a bit old and slow!

fickle needle Mar 21, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

if you have a random machine to host it on I say go for it, for me it's breathing life into old hardware I wouldn't otherwise use

#

all it took for me was installing the Nividia drivers and a couple of reboots, so it will most certainly be straightforward on a 760

drifting otter Mar 21, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

I'd have to install it in my current pc, which I use a 2080ti to fold 😂

fickle needle Mar 21, 2020, 6:21 PM

yikes, i've never personally experimented with having two different cards of different architectures getting recognized

rich depot Mar 21, 2020, 6:30 PM

I have a 980, 1080, 2060 and a 2070 in one rig and it's fine for the most part

drifting otter Mar 21, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

Sounds semi reassuring!

rich depot Mar 21, 2020, 6:32 PM

Just have to read exactly what GPUs the driver covers but Nvidia is pretty good at supporting older cards in newer drivers

I would be interested in the production delta with the temps being so vastly different

supple laurel Mar 21, 2020, 7:46 PM

i mean if you could spend 1 hour overclocking and chilling it to get 10% more performance. you would easy make that up in time spent folding.

rich depot Mar 21, 2020, 8:08 PM

I would not trust sub-zero long term. Nor would I want to have the excessive power usage of the OC'd part and the cooler running 24/7

so I've added a cpu slot, but it's not doing anything. Can i force it to work on something, or do i just have to wait until it's given a workload?

hey guys, i just set up folding@home today and completed 3 WU so far. however i only got points for the first one, will i get credited for the other 2 later? or is it a bug and they're gone now

fierce steppe Mar 21, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

It can take a while for them to be credited, and if you're checking XOC stats it only updates every 3 hours...

If you go in to the Advanced Control and the logs what Project # is the work units that you finished?

well anyways i guess ill check tomorrow to see if i got the points or not

2nd thing i wanted to ask was, when i set my power to light, it seems like the GPU stops working and waits for me to idle (even though i have 'while I'm working' selected)

#

and it turns on if i set the power to medium/high

#

is it just not possible to use the GPU on light? or do i have to go into the settings somewhere

You have to use high for GPU

14533 is the other

fierce steppe Mar 21, 2020, 11:40 PM

If it just keeps sending requests to the server eventually everyone will effectively DDoS the server

warm vale Mar 21, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

yeah i suppose

#

but still 3h is quite a long time

fierce steppe Mar 21, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

Normally when you're folding you only contact the work server when you're downloading a new work unit. So once every few hours.
If it fails to connect to the server, it'll try again... and again... and again...
So it spaces them out.
First it tries again in a minute, then 2 minutes, then 5 minutes, etc

#

If the server goes down or has issues you would suddenly have thousands of people trying to connect to it every minute

warm vale Mar 21, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

ah okay thats a good point

craggy grove Mar 21, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

Yo

fierce steppe Mar 21, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

If you ever do get that where it's no longer checking, just pause and resume and when you resume folding it will start checking again for a new work unit

#

but kinda hard to do while sleeping 😄

craggy grove Mar 21, 2020, 11:43 PM

GPUs are better at folding

btw do you have a passkey?

warm vale Mar 21, 2020, 11:47 PM

does the # of points depend on how fast you finish the WU? i see it fluctuating quite a lot

it fluctuates

warm vale Mar 21, 2020, 11:52 PM

i see

proven marlin Mar 21, 2020, 11:53 PM

yes, the points will vary depending how fast the GPU does the WU. That is the effect of the QRB

warm vale Mar 21, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

ohh okay

fierce steppe Mar 21, 2020, 11:54 PM

Also the faster you finish it, the more work units you can complete in a day

warm vale Mar 21, 2020, 11:54 PM

yeah makes sense

is it possible to use the same account on multiple devices?

fierce steppe Mar 21, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

Yes, just use the same identity, team number, and passkey

proven marlin Mar 21, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

yep, it is also the reason CPUs don't get similar high output. It takes them a tad longer to do a WU compare to a GPU

is there a point in doing both F@H and BOINC at the same time? my cpu is at 95% utilization atm with just F@H

if F@H is already hitting that much of the CPU, then don't run BOINC at the same time

You won't be able to do both BOINC and F@H on the CPU at the same time

proven marlin Mar 21, 2020, 11:58 PM

Personally, I tend to have the GPU do WUs on F@H and the CPU do WUs from BOINC projects

fierce steppe Mar 21, 2020, 11:58 PM

^^^

proven marlin Mar 21, 2020, 11:59 PM

do note though, running both can be a heavy load and depending on project and WUs can slow down the OS reponse

reason I tend to run BOINC at 85% load on CPU so it don't chug down the OS

you can set the thread number for the CPU on F@H

If you move the power slider to "Medium" it's supposed to limit the CPU to 75%

proven marlin Mar 22, 2020, 12:02 AM

say, you have a 8 core /16 thread CPU, you can set F@H to use just four threads or eight thread instead of all 16

fierce steppe Mar 22, 2020, 12:02 AM

But yeah, changing the number of threads it uses is a more permanent way of doing it

You need at least one free per GPU slot, and helps having another one free for general PC use...

will it ever use all 16 threads by itself? or does F@H already know to leave 1 for system

fierce steppe Mar 22, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

The default setting is to leave it free
You can edit the slot and change how much it uses

#

but if you set it to all 16 it won't be able to feed the GPU and the GPU performance will drop significantly

155.247.164.213 and .214 were the servers that were having issues with 11758 being stuck trying to upload
It's possible it was the same issue with those work units

#

If the work units have been trying to upload for a week then they will have expired.
You'll just need to dump them unfortunately. Set the GPU slot to finish and when its finished its current work unit and uploads it you can delete the GPU slot and it will dump those work old units that won't send

timber grove Mar 22, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

ok

fierce steppe Mar 22, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

It's possible that they just sent out more 11758 work units and less of the 11756/11757 work units which is why there aren't as many people reporting issues with those ones

it depends on what program your using to report. i'm not sure on GPUZ but most WU only use the cuda/opencl? cores so some programs only the gpu using part of it as the video encode/decode sit idle but those cores will be at 100%

Hey Leadeater, if F@H is producing 470TFLOPs

Does that mean the LTT team is producing ~45TFLOPs of processing power?

mostly it's power on hours that matters

well 24/7, I plugged it into the wall, so it shouldn't be using alot of battery

heat does but only if it's quite above normal, for a laptop the battery and motherboard fail first

well are the temps I mentioned above normal?

or acceptable?

silver wing Mar 22, 2020, 8:25 AM

the exhaust section of the laptop burns

I wonder how long it would take, at the rate it is going, for F@H to be at a point of diminishing returns

silver wing Mar 22, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

Basically already is, hard to know. We can only process WUs if they exist and there are two critical points there, servers can generate WUs fast enough and more importantly scientist submitting enough work

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

I mean when it is at that point, wouldn't it be the best interest for the scientists to actually sit down and analyze instead of pumping out a bunch of wu that may or may not come in handy?

silver wing Mar 22, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

FAH does both those tasks

mystic hollow Mar 22, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

@rich depot they actually do that, that is the whole point

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 9:19 AM

#

?

silver wing Mar 22, 2020, 9:19 AM

#

A lot of the CPU tasks analyze the more abstract GPU tasks as well as other stuff

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 9:20 AM

#

hm

mystic hollow Mar 22, 2020, 9:20 AM

#

@rich depot and only the "correct" results are returned to the scientist, which then analyses them further

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 9:20 AM

#

what renders a result correct or incorrect?

silver wing Mar 22, 2020, 9:20 AM

#

magic

#

lol

mystic hollow Mar 22, 2020, 9:21 AM

#

so while there is millions of work units for any given project, only few thousand will match the required results, which then gets analysed further by the scientist and probably given another iteration via f@h

silver wing Mar 22, 2020, 9:21 AM

#

it's not a lot different to math and a mathematical theory and then having to prove the theory

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 9:21 AM

do boinc also taxe on the GPU and CPU as hard as F@H?

silver wing Mar 22, 2020, 9:23 AM

fierce steppe Mar 22, 2020, 9:23 AM

BOINC does pretty much the same thing, but for different projects. Some health stuff, some maths stuff, analysing radio signals from space, etc

silver wing Mar 22, 2020, 9:25 AM

FAH is BOINC btw, basically. They are essentially the same thing and FAH would be a project within BOINC, if it were part of BOINC

@limber onyx As long as you have "Any Disease" selected you will always fold for Covid19 as long as there is something available for you to fold. In the interim while those work units are being sorted out on the researches side you may be given non-Covid19 tasks, but it's not from lack of trying on their part

As long as you keep the application running, you will definitely be getting Covid19 work units a few times a day or more

@rich depot I'm so glad I was actually a not-completely-insignificant part of our new point lead, I cleared 750,000 points this morning and I don't think the totals are even fully updated yet.

Nice, thanks for getting involved!

Yeee boi. Gotta hit that MIL

My GPU is doing 11746 (Coronavirus) and my CPU is doing nothing

spark salmon Mar 22, 2020, 2:38 PM

@pseudo abyss That's par for the course recently, they just can't produce as many CPU Work Units to meet the Volunteer response, they're barley putting out more than a few GPU Work units per volunteer per day. Right now the volunteer networks processing power is more powerful than the top 7 individual Supercomputers around the world combined.

They are just concentrating on generating GPU WUs as it isn't much more intensive for them to generate GPU WUs vs CPU WUs but they get much more scientific data from GPU WUs

spark salmon Mar 22, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

I had only heard they were producing WU's as fast as they could, I didn't know that GPU data was more useful

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

It's not that it is more useful persay, it's just that GPUs can do much more work in the same amount of time. Thats why you get more points on a GPU. The point count is very roughly related to the amount of work done

#

would be nice if ltt can get their receiving server and stuff setup fast. Cause I get that gpu's are more effective, but it's also kinda a waste of all the cpu's that are now on idle, wanting to help

#

For all we know it is already set up... they aren't magic. When you go from 35K people to close to 500K the while backend infrastructure just isnt designed to handle it. And there is more to it than simply getting another server or two up. Trust me this, I spent 6 years studying it

Hello

#

I'm a total newb to the folding@home scene - I've set up three boxes to join the LTT campaign, but they're all stuck at "downloading" (all other config seems to be correct, and I've read all the FAQs I can find)

#

Just wondering if there are bottlenecks on the F@H side, or whether there's something obvious I'm missing

#

Any tips welcome

@rich depot , yeah, as someone that does servers setup and admin duty in the Guard. :I It sure ain't simple. Especially if you need IP ranges for a new setup. The old stack we had would take three days to setup on a good day with folks that knew the process. Have yet to do such on the new stack, but I had to get a stack up down range once. Took over a bloody week because everything had to match up and be done right. (plus, only two of us had experience with the specific stack)

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

Exactly! And then when you add load balancing and the fact that it needs to be stored in a some form of repository, validity of the results checked, distributing the WUs to the work servers and making sure all of them are synced up for stats. It must be a nightmare for a team that has never really dealt with more than 40-50K users

#

@rigid mulch It's just the F@H servers

proven marlin Mar 22, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

oh god.........load balancers

#

:I

rigid mulch Mar 22, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

I imagined as such

proven marlin Mar 22, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

think there only a few of us in the unit that touch those. if you ever touch one, check, the bloody clock time

rigid mulch Mar 22, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

If I had bandwidth I could contribute on the server side, but best I can do is set up a few clients

proven marlin Mar 22, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

that will royally bite you in the rear end if not set right

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

Exactly, syncing is the worst issue on large scale set ups like this

proven marlin Mar 22, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

indeed, heck, one of the first steps in a lot of our equipment is checking the clock and setting it right

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

When it comes to things like YT and netflix syncing isn't so much a problem as they have a network topology designed for them to work as individual nodes that are most just caching. But when you get to something like F@H it has to be synced up pretty much perfectly

#

I am glad it's not me, put it that way

proven marlin Mar 22, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

video don't require many handshakes on packets to say, a client requesting data and needing to make sure the data is correct and the client got everything

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Exactly

#

I'm am slowly getting sick of seeing this spreadsheet now...

proven marlin Mar 22, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

xD

#

take a break and relax for a bit

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

I have 3500 entries to validate by hand on my own.

#

I have been doing 12-14 hour days on the forums and this sheet, it needs doing. Now I remember why we have a team usually

pseudo abyss Mar 22, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

It seems to become longer and longer time between each download attempt every time it fails to do it

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

the biggest folding event to date was like 600 people, so I thought I can do that on my own... Little did I know it would slowly break me with 3.5K entries

#

@pseudo abyss It does to stop the clients basically DDOSing the server

pseudo abyss Mar 22, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

pausing and starting to fold again resets it

#

I think

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

Ifd it tried every 10 seconds and all 500K clients were hitting the servers you'd never get them back up

pseudo abyss Mar 22, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

at least the first attempt

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

Please don't do that unless it's over 30 min wait time...

pseudo abyss Mar 22, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

It was 40 min

#

🙂

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

That's fine then

#

Holy shit.....

#

I'm folding on all 7 slots...

Beautiful

#

I really wanna grab another 2060 but I'm already pulling over 1.5Kw...

it's like 30C in this room... 70+% humidity Not fun

#

@fierce steppe if you're about can you DM me please

proven marlin Mar 22, 2020, 3:42 PM

ouch, 3,5K entries. That is a lot to go through for sure. Just make sure to take care of yourself.

spark salmon Mar 22, 2020, 3:42 PM

Yes! I can't wait for my tax return so I can get a 2060 going myself for secondary currently unused GPU slot. I'm lucky it's still cold here, I'm running my 1080ti at 90%+ capacity non stop and my temp is a stable 64 Degrees

#

@rich depot if you DM me your Venmo I'd be happy to buy you a couple RedBulls or whatevers

proven marlin Mar 22, 2020, 3:43 PM

tax return.......I still waiting on some papers still. :I why it is always the stock ones that take so long to get

@proven marlin I'm in isolation for the next 12 weeks, gotta keep myself busy

#

@spark salmon What is venmo?

proven marlin Mar 22, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

ah, just make sure to take breaks and do something you enjoy

#

as someone that dealt being downrange on 12-16 hour shifts and stuck in a tent looking at screens. Ya need breaks at times. Otherwise, you can get mentally worn down

@Spectrum it's a free secure money transfer app, its like a VPN for your bank account

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

I will try

#

@spark salmon Hmm... I don't why that sounds dodgy to me lol I so distrustful

#

Honestly I don't expect anything in return

spark salmon Mar 22, 2020, 3:48 PM

No worries, but it is a convenient app, I recommend doing a Google on it when you aren't so busy

proven marlin Mar 22, 2020, 3:49 PM

venmo is usually a good one

Maybe! Tbh I just use my streamlabs donation page if I am receiving money as it just goes in my paypal and it's confidential

proven marlin Mar 22, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

our folks that handle the snack bar at the unit has the option to pay with that for snacks

#

xD actually, we have to use that or paypal to pay now. No cash with the current requirements

rich depot Mar 22, 2020, 3:50 PM

sounds like a good idea tbh anyway
