smoky wing Mar 28, 2020, 6:36 PM

I'm running Ryzen, and the clocks aren't really boosting at all, same as before, but yet same temperature for half the threads

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

PBO?

smoky wing Mar 28, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

I'm...actually getting less PPD with my CPU running due to the increase in temperature in the case throttling my GPU clocks down

#

Bored

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

sounds like you need a better case

wooden charm Mar 28, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

also, hitting 80c on both all and half of the core.. sounds like a cooler problem

smoky wing Mar 28, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

I don't necessarily think that's the problem, more of "I need better CPU cooler"

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

well for the CPU yes

#

but they just said the CPU is making the GFX card downclock due to temp

#

that says to me the case cant evacuate the heat fast enough

smoky wing Mar 28, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

Yeah, my GPU starts dropping clocks around 62C, which it only hits when CPU is running

#

02shrug

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

hmm it shouldn't drop that much though

smoky wing Mar 28, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

Though to be fair, it's running about 20% higher than stock clocks due to undervolting/overclocking

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

from what i can tell only several 100 MHz changes should hurt PPD

smoky wing Mar 28, 2020, 6:42 PM

All I know is that it went from 1.2M PPD consistently on GPU, to 1.1M PPD on both

After pausing CPU, it went back up again shortly

new record for me

smoky wing Mar 28, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

I would buy a better CPU cooler for rendering and what not, but I also need to buy index controllers, so the cooler will have to wait for the time being, while I use GPU folding in the meantime

Oh, 2.33M, extra spicy

@smoky wing the stock cooler for the 2700x is pretty good, it may be cheaper and equally effective to just get another case fan and improve airflow. are you overclocking?

question, does anybody know if there is an explaination for what the server stats page means? https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats like the CS, status etc

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

CS = Collection Server

#

if you mouse over it gives some descriptions

#

not 100% sure on the difference of the Types

#

WS and AS

#

WS is probably Work Server

#

AS = Assign Server?

#

most likely

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

most likely... seems very sure 😂

#

nah, I appreciate the effort

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

well the host name is assign1.foldingathome.org

#

Type is AS

#

i know CS is collection server and WS is Work Server

#

seems logical to me that AS is Assign server

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

yeah, but they have 11 assign, 10 accepting servers if you look a bit further on that row

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

yeahj

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

you know

#

i bet its a node system

#

the 2 assign's manage the jobs for all the Work Servers

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

i wish you could link systems together into a main system to fold with

#

no offence, but there is a reason why I asked if there is a proper explanation of the page, cause I can guess too

#

@rich depot you can just run your username and passcode on each system though?

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

@rich depot Well i'm pretty sure i'm right

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

good for you

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

assign servers give split jobs to Work servers, Work servers give jobs to us

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

you can run the info the same but each system works on separate wus i want all my systems hammering wus together

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

the collection servers also probably talk back to the assign servers

#

@rich depot doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of F@H though?

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

That would be a programmers nightmare @rich depot . Cause having to split up jobs that are already split up.. getting way to complex

#

we did this with mioning crypto and it worked

#

proxy server

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

i mean its whole deal is taking huge work loads and splitting them up into smaller work pieces for everyone to work on

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

same idea with just my local network

#

i get a wu and split it apoun my systems

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

hmm

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

wus get done faster with more accuracy

#

there is no benefit to have wu's done fast though

umbral pumice Mar 28, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

I've just do a 40k worht it credit with mu GPU and It didn't count

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

you slam a wu with say 4 1070s it would be done so fast with zero issues

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

i agree with bluehero that sounds way to complex

#

you would probably need a PC JUST to manage all that

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

there is no reason to go fast on old machines that then stumble

#

there are so many wu's, that having to wait a couple an hour on a wu is not a problem, cause there is no difference between doing 4 wu's that take 15 minutes spread over 4 devices, or doing 1 wu per device, the total is 4 wu's an hour

#

ya you hense run the program on one then have proxies on each other system

warm vale Mar 28, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

is XOC still down for some people?

#

its been like 5 days now

I've just do a 40k worht it credit with mu GPU and It didn't count

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

that sounds like a waste of a PC that could be folding

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

if i did a wu in 10 mins verus 2 hours then my wait doesnt increase between wus i get more done in a 24 period verus normal

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

define "Didnt Count"

frozen peak Mar 28, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

but the point of fah is to run many variations of the same protein, so if you had 4 separate gpu's, that's basically what they're doing already, without needed to be interconnected

umbral pumice Mar 28, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

I don't get the Estimated credit never

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

thats why its Estimated

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

@rich depot what would be the benefit of doing a wu faster? over a x time period there would be the same amount of wu's done if you do them super fast on all of the systems, or slower with 1 wu per system

umbral pumice Mar 28, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

and now I had a 40k estimated and get 0 @hushed bobcat what can I do?

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

they dont have enough work to have every person run 100% 24/7

floral wave Mar 28, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

Somewhere here the math doesn't line up for me. What exactly is your goal? If you have 4 PC's that can do 1 WU an hour, if you split it up across the 4 and do 1 in 15 minutes you still do the same. How exactly are you getting it faster?

frozen peak Mar 28, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

the total computing power is still the same lol

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

personally i do about 750k PPD while my estimated is @umbral pumice

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

I think they are used to coin mining, where there is a benefit to do it as fast as possible, before somebody else is done with it. But that doesn't apply to F@H

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

yea i dont really see the point of further splitting up WU's

#

well maybe i could think of 1 way

#

what if everyone who had more than 1 PC folding in the house had one act as a Work Server for the house.
it would talk to the assign servers to get the full list of jobs available and divide each WU up among all systems in the house

#

it's not splitting WU like Boss said though

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

adds a shitton more complexity

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

yes for sure

#

but it should decrease load on the F@H team no?

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

no

#

cause they have to assign shit to that local pc first, and have to keep track of all that shit, plus actually code it into the software

#

don't forget that the system has worked for years without big problems. Its just the extreme amount of people folding for covid that creates some problems. but the fact its still online is great and shows how good the people built it

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 7:22 PM

talking to the past, so instead of one 12 thread slot, I should use two 4 thread slots and leave some threads unused?

No don't do that, its BS!

Use 12 threads, you only start to get issues when you give it over 36 threads or so. All you are doing is taxing the server more by having more slots @shut halo

jade flicker Mar 28, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

only have good cpu anyway (integrated graphics)

#

FAH was a pain to get working on linux, hoping boinc is better (official packages, clean dependencies...)

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

just don't run linux 🙂

#

is it just me or do we have too much guys for those precious WUs?

#

@jade flicker why was it a pain? for me it was pretty painless to install on linux o.O

jade flicker Mar 28, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

is there also a team number for boinc?

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

@rich depot yes. but thats a good problem to have.

jade flicker Mar 28, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

Skyres cause of that stupid gnome python dependency which appears to have a different version or something for which I needed to install another dep manually to be able to run FAHControl but breaking the package manager in the progress (always complaining about broken dependencies and refusing to install anything else)

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

and thats why i am on fedora server xD

#

for me it was just install the rpm's write a service thingy for systemctl and enable and start 😄

jade flicker Mar 28, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

running pop-os (ubuntu based) primarily for the promised gaming compatibility, though I usually run my games just in a VM anyway (on my arch based desktop)

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

pop-os isnt my cup of tea :/ u can have game compatibility on every distro u just need to know what u have to do

jade flicker Mar 28, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

well, I didn't have to write a service, but the service it installed seems broken, saying that the service didn't start correctly while it appears to run properly

#

since I didn't get any WUs or could FAHControl running for a while I couldn't check if it actually was working thoguh

#

@rich depot pop-os promises to be configured for it out of the box with the usual gaming stuff provided in official repos

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

yeah i know, but i dont like that its build on ubuntu

jade flicker Mar 28, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

sure, don't like the apt stuff or gnome that much either so I can agree with you on that

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

funfact on my laptop i use gnome as my desktop 😂

jade flicker Mar 28, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

configuring a proper distro takes time though and I didn't wanna invest it for a portable linux install which I occasionally run on my work laptop

#

using i3 on my desktop which _just_works

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

pop-os should build its os around fedora or arch its way better even debian...

dusty hemlock Mar 28, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

i3 is love, i3 is life

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

i tried using i3 but at one point it was too many fucking shortcuts i have to remember xD

jade flicker Mar 28, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

my only gripe is the extra stuff you have to configure, clipboard manager, notificaiton manager, applets, lock screen, etc. which is why I like the out-of-the-box solution from Manjaro

#

btw. is there an "team number" or similar for boinc to "strengthen" LTT's team from there?

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 8:43 PM

jade flicker Mar 28, 2020, 8:44 PM

I don't like a lot of things manjaro does but the "themed" pre-configured iso's are nice

just use kde plasma

#

@jade flicker on boinc website, you can join a team

jade flicker Mar 28, 2020, 8:45 PM

@rich depot my original manjaro install was KDE based till it broke way back and I've been running i3 since then. KDE is a pain to keep making it work on a bleeding edge distro

I haven't noticed any effect, been running it for ~18 months

and celmor has a point :/ it cant be good for you battery

#

btw. celmor i heard there was a folding app for ps3

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 8:50 PM

I think, with an old version of the app

#

I just dug out my nexus 6 and got that attached too

#

Set temp limit to 35° since I won't be checking on it all that much

can you set it up for the phone remotely?

rich depot Mar 28, 2020, 8:53 PM

I don't think so

You have to attach the client

Hey gang, is there an advantage to configuring F@H to use the maximum number of cores? right now it says it's only using 4 of my system's six cores

set it on full

or manually select 6 cores in your slot config under advanced control

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 10:11 PM

@rocky otter it need atleast 1 thread per GPU in your system

rocky otter Mar 28, 2020, 10:11 PM

Ohh that makes sense @hushed bobcat

#

I have a 6-core cpu without hyperthreading, and apparently it can't use five cores

so it uses 4

hushed bobcat Mar 28, 2020, 10:12 PM

it can use 5

are you set on Light, Medium, or Full power?

does boinc not use the lowest prio for its worker processes? cause I'm definitely feeling it doing something more so than using FAH

maybe when my mini itx is up with a 680 ill toss it on that prog

rocky otter Mar 28, 2020, 10:28 PM

Update on my CPU situation - looks like there are a couple spots where F@H can't use a prime number of cores greater than 3. however, looks like that's only a couple points, and I'm getting full utilization otherwise

so a core number of multiple of 2 should work just fine? is it recommended to spawn multiple "jobs" if running higher than usual core counts (16+)?

you have to allow the ip of the computer you're remoting on in the "Remote Connection" tab
