@keen hill Overclocked? Crappy cooler?

keen hill Apr 8, 2020, 11:15 PM

stock cooler

shut halo Apr 8, 2020, 11:16 PM

could be just hwmonitor being trash as usual

it is 2% overclocked

#

according to ez oc wizzard in my bios

smoky rose Apr 8, 2020, 11:23 PM

Well, that stock cooler is not up for the task.

#

Limit your cpu folding slot to half your number of cores and see if that makes a difference.

can i limit the workload on my gpu reliably? I dont like running my FE 1070 ti at 80 degrees all the time

smoky rose Apr 8, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

Underclock it?

brittle coral Apr 8, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

ayyy guess who broke 6m while i was asleep

smoky rose Apr 8, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

Wild guestimate: You?

dense blaze Apr 8, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

is it just a matter of lowering voltage in bios? i know some GPUs handle that via software, idk what FE cards use

smoky rose Apr 8, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

Don't know. Never done it myself.

dense blaze Apr 8, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

correction, just realized i have CAM, it gives me the option to underclock, im going to give that a try

#

thanks

vague flint Apr 9, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

I could be wrong, but I think if you lower your power/temp limit, the GPU should automatically underclock to compensate

📎 unknown.png

stark bough Apr 9, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

power and temp are autobottlenecks AFAIK

#

I drop my power/temp to 50 to drop my power draw.

#

dunno if id be more stable by dumping my core clock, but its been working for me

#

just replaced the stock TP on my cooler. seems to be 4C lower
3700X

#

temp fluctuations seems to less extreme too.
I'd see a 4-7C bounce within 3 -4 seconds of running my 3700x on stock paste using stock cooler.

#

now it seems to be a lot more even when folding. also that stock paste was gummy AF

stark bough Apr 9, 2020, 1:08 AM

@dense blaze

dense blaze Apr 9, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

hi there, sorry

#

im downloading msi afterburner cause CAM didnt seem to be working

#

ill try that and see if it works

stark bough Apr 9, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

ice effectively lowered power draw by doing this. in theory you should be able to cause your system to thermal throttle on its own.

📎 2020-04-08_18_08_55-MSI_Afterburner.png

#

probably the best way is to toy around with dropping core clocks

#

outside of these sliders. votage curves

dense blaze Apr 9, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

awesome

#

i love learning about this stuff

stark bough Apr 9, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

check out jays two cents videos on utilizing afterburner to overclock

#

personally id prefer to underclock

dense blaze Apr 9, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

and basically do the opposite

storm talon Apr 9, 2020, 1:11 AM

^

stark bough Apr 9, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

controls are the same.

#

main thing is stability

dense blaze Apr 9, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

yeah i dont want to overclock this card, under clocking is my goal

stark bough Apr 9, 2020, 1:12 AM

fortunatly, theres quite a few videos on undervolting on pascal that hit major hype during the mining days

bout to have another 2Mppd

more once i get the 980 as well but i need to figure out what rig that's going in now lol

its still pretty

#

case door is going on the nvidia rig

#

i ran into some stability issues, with another card under it heating the 5700 the junction temp was waaaaay to hot so i underclocked it and decided its not acceptable long term so i ordered a corsair waterblock for it

#

gonna clean my WC gear this week i guess and leave it underclocked till it gets here

#

junction temp is now peaking at 89c with core at 75c with my new fan and underclock/undervolt profile

going back to building the nvidia rig now xD

#

not letting my main one be unstable

to bad i cant stand my 3400rpm fan

isnt showing in device manager, same issue as last night only it's not the power cable this time, i don't think. gonna go tweak it anyway but thought i'd ask again. @smoky rose if you're awake lemme know what you think lmao

#

hah so they ARE showing up in device manager, as "other devices" as "3D video controller" im pretty sure

in other news 1070 is predicting 630k ppd now on this WU 🙂 at least that's working

Just read this on FAH's news section, pretty neat!
"Over the past three weeks, over 700K citizen scientists have joined the Folding@home project. This 20-fold increase in participation has given us unprecedented compute power to bring to bear on COVID-19. In fact, Folding@home is the first computer to achieve the exaFLOPS scale and is now estimated to be more powerful than the next top 100 supercomputers combined."

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 9:23 AM

#

yea

#

thats out of date now btw

#

they not only broke the exaflop mark

#

they broke 2 today

#

or actually, i need to check

#

if AWSfolds stopped then they may have not

#

it was predicted to

#

these WUs are taking longer than they should and my cpu is getting absolutely slammed in this rig

#

im gonna go afk and wait for the last CPU wu to finish and see how the gpus are without it in the way lol

#

hey guys, any idea why my GPU miners are each taking up to 25% of a core?

#

of cpu

#

on my main rig its like 1.5-5% max

#

but on the dedicated folding rig its like 25% each and its def slowing things down

#

no idea why it's so slow

#

core clocks are where they should be as well

#

cpu is 47c @4ghz rn

#

no oc

eager lantern Apr 9, 2020, 10:32 AM

#

No clue @brittle coral, I'm seeing anywhere from 8-15% CPU usage on GPU jobs. I guess it depends on your CPU/GPU combo, but there's definitely some CPU overhead

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

sholdnt be quite this much though

#

anyway i reinstalled the client and now im stil lseeing the same overhead but at least on my 1070 theres no delay in wu completion time yet

#

but its also the only card with a WU yet

#

2hrs left 11% done, moving along as expected

#

if it grinds to a halt when more come in i may need to put one of these cards into another rig

#

right now FaHCore_22.exe is using 26% cpu

#

avg 25-27 rn

#

vs on my all AMD rig where its never above 5%

#

even on the same WUs

#

my 5700xt is doing 11778 right now same as the 1070 so i can compare directly

#

even accounting for a cpu with 4x the threads and 2x the hardware it shouldn't be using that much CPU i'd think, an 8350k isn't THAT much slower than a 3800x xD

#

im gonna have to ping my friends running nvidia cards when they wake up later and see what they're getting

jade slate Apr 9, 2020, 11:13 AM

#

well i have 15% on my I7 9700K usage when running a GPU WU

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 11:14 AM

#

dang lol

#

what gpu

#

is it nvidia?

jade slate Apr 9, 2020, 11:14 AM

#

RTX 2080

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 11:15 AM

#

that seems to be the discrepancy

#

yea

#

fuck

#

i may need to split this up

#

because when i pause both 1060s its fine

#

the 1070 goes full tilt

#

and theres like 75% cpu left

#

but when another starts

#

even though theres still plenty of cpu left cause everything else is paused

#

its straight up not running even half as fast

#

and the more that download the worse it gets

#

almost makes me wish i'd bought more AMD cards instead with my money but its not the biggest deal, i only paid for one card

#

my AMD cards use basically zero cpu

jade slate Apr 9, 2020, 11:16 AM

#

maybe its the CPU restricting the GPU

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 11:16 AM

#

its all straight GPU no overhead

#

would an 8350k really restrict that badly?

jade slate Apr 9, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

idk

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

doesnt seem like it would, in games sure but in compute its all about what the cpu overhead is that cant run on the GPU

#

and since it's all OpenCL it shouldn't matter in theory right?

#

but apparently not in practice

#

like, linus would have run into the same problem i'd think, if not for his CPU being absolutely balls to the wall in that vid and having 2 of them lol

#

i dont think that's compatible

#

sorry

#

xD

#

AGP @_@

jade slate Apr 9, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

well its probably the CPU restricting PCie lanes

#

1x8+2x4

#

PCI Express Configurations ‡
Up to 1x16, 2x8, 1x8+2x4

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

maybe, does it need a lot of bandwidth?

jade slate Apr 9, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

idk

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

i figured it was like most other distributed computing that doesnt

#

yea independently each card gets pretty decent performance

#

though this 1060 is not going as hard as i'd expect

#

also, PCIe bandwidth wouldnt affect CPU utilization lol

#

it'd just slow down performance without impacting CPU, if anything CPU would go down

#

dude i think i figured it out

#

each slot is using the same PGU

#

GPU*

#

its not ACTUALLY using the gpus im telling it to

#

no wonder

jade slate Apr 9, 2020, 11:24 AM

#

true, but it could be the reason that the GPUs WU run slower

#

ok

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

yea each one once i let it run full tilt

#

is running at a rate that only the 1070 can achieve

jade slate Apr 9, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

ok

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 11:26 AM

#

yea

#

i figured it out because while only one card is showing up in my monitoring for temps

#

that one was also tilted

#

ugh i changed the openCL values and it lost my WU

#

sent it back to the server incomplete lol

#

this is super buggy, on both clients it's reading the wrong GPU for each architecture name

#

in one it told me it was using the 1060s but it used the 1070 for all 3 somehow and in the other it just switched the architecture and model so it says 5700xt/hawaii and vice versa for the 580

#

er it's ellsmere and navi

#

lol

#

so i THINK i know how to fix this, i set each slot to a different opencl value starting from the one that is running properly and working up from there, waiting on work again to test. will see what happens i guess

#

yea it keeps getting work and instantly failing those slots

#

im going to take the rig down and remove the cards

#

deal with it tomorrow lol

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 11:55 AM

#

lol now that i want to give the CPU more threads again it wont let me use more than 1 it seems despite setting it to 3 and trying to let the client do it itself

eager lantern Apr 9, 2020, 11:58 AM

#

It must be the CPU, like I said I'm seeing 9-15% on the two machines I'm running. One is i5-6300HQ, and the other is an i7-8750H

#

i3 with that much GPU power would probably hurt

#

Both are running 960 and 1060 respectively btw

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 11:59 AM

#

just weird to me lol. if the 1070 were faster than the 5700xt i'd consider swapping things for now just so my faster CPU can feed the cards that need it, i guess i'm not gonna bother getting the x3 720 BE out to try and feed nvidia cards either xD

#

also, i don't think it was

#

i think it was a config issue with the cards not being set to the right opencl slot

#

im just to tired to hammer on i want to rest and relax and just watch netflix rather than monitoring this thing non stop

eager lantern Apr 9, 2020, 12:00 PM

#

Just guessing here 🙂 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 12:00 PM

#

burned out

#

i hear you

#

its just, with the metric's im seeing

#

all 3 slots were actually going to my 1070

#

each one got a unit, and when the other 2 were paused, the 1070 would be pegging at 75c running full tilt

#

i can still tinker with it if someone has an idea for how to fix it, but when i switched it up the other 2 slots just kept rejecting units they got instantly

#

they'd get one and it'd instantly turn around after trying to start and spit it back to the server

eager lantern Apr 9, 2020, 12:01 PM

#

I hear you on that. I obsessed over FAH for 48-ish hours after I started. Once I got my thermals under control and my laptop to not melt I forgot about it

#

Now I check the stats once every 2-3 days if that

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 12:02 PM

so a bit of both if you will

but yea

lot of variables

eager lantern Apr 9, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

haha, well that works

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

somehow on my AMD rig it detected everything right away

#

probably because the cards are full display adapters

#

the 1060s are headless mining cards

#

i had trouble figuring out if the OS was even seeing them

#

my plan tmrw is to set up a linux VM

#

and try firing units at them in there

rancid frost Apr 9, 2020, 12:03 PM

nVidia hasn't released any new drivers lately, have they?

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 12:03 PM

nvidia has always had a slower driver schedule than AMD

#

but until today i hadn't owned any nvidia hardware in over 10 years

eager lantern Apr 9, 2020, 12:04 PM

About a week or two ago last I checked @rancid frost. Had BSOD issues and ended up switching to the older "creator" version of the drivers

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

im gonna hard test this issue with my friend's 1050 he was gonna loan me to test and see if it even works. if it does, it should detect as an adapter properly and not "3D Graphics Accellerator" in device manager

Not running anything weird here @steady knot. On a laptop. Firefox started having weird painting issues, and a couple of BSODs out of the blue. Didn't really affect FAH much but I decided to stick with Studio, it's only a month older 2/3

#

wb

#

i never managed to get the 1060s i got lent working xD

#

they're still hooked up tho

#

every time i try to set them up it just ends up making another slot for my 1070 in the same rig

#

i'd have broken 7m by now if it weren't for all the downtime and some units that got deleted lol

#

they're 1060 headless miner cards so they aren't detecting the same as a display adapter either lol

smoky rose Apr 9, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

First GPU slot is index 0
Second GPU slot is index 1
etc up to 9 for a maximum of ten GPUs which is what FAH supports.

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

im gonna give it a go again but when i tried before with that

#

it was spitting units right back

#

it would download one and immediately kick it back to the server

smoky rose Apr 9, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

Oh, that might explain it. Is there a "fixed" driver so you can use them for gaming?

brittle coral Apr 9, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

i don't know, might just have to run them in linux

#

at least they were free loaners

#

okay last test lol

#

it just got a wu for the slot i was testing

#

it started to run it, shut down cause of bad work unit

#

keeps happening

#

they keep spitting the WUS back like they're bad

#

im betting it's the mining firmware

#

was worth a shot lol at least they're free. linux is the last test if that fails then i'm returning them to the guy who gave em to me and maybe buying another 1070 lol

#

or a pair of rx580s or something who knows xD

smoky rose Apr 9, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

Work slot 02 is the CPU one

#

Check your log

#

That's the third tab

#

The 23 threads assigned to that slot, is that value set as -1 or 23?

#

There are quite a few projects at the moment that are capped to 12 threads.

#

You can enter any number from 1 to the number of threads your CPU supports.
If you have GPUs, F@H reserves one CPU per GPU to feed it data across the PCIE bus.
F@H has difficulty with large primes and their multiples number of CPUs.
7 is always large, 5 is sometimes large, and 3 is never large. Try to choose a number that is a multiple of 2 and/or 3.
2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, etc. are good numbers of CPUs to choose.
5. 10. 15, 20 etc may work most of the time. Other numbers will bite you```

@smoky rose that value I will find in the log correct?

it's set to -1

and basing it off my 3900x core/thread count

smoky rose Apr 9, 2020, 3:36 PM

I'd try two CPU slots. One 12 threads and one 8 threads.

#

23 threads = 24 -1 for the GPU

forest sapphire Apr 9, 2020, 3:38 PM

What's weird is that it isn't even attempting to talk to the server to even check it sounds like.

@edgy iris right click and choose

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

Maybe your CPU is waiting for a quest

#

because my GPU is running and my CPU is "ready"

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

GPU tho

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

@rich depot its waiting on a unit

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

my cpu and gpus are both going at it

#

hmmm

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

Yup waiting for something in the least

#

check under the Fah core version, it will say waiting on:

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

but the gpu's are 35% on a gtx1080

#

and 25% on a 2014 GTX Titan

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

theres an over supply of folders compared the number of WUs out there so many people have to wait

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

yeah but, i find it so annoying, my friend just passed me with 3 million points and he's using a system 6 years older than mine

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

meh, just be happy to be helping the world

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

I have like 400WU, he has 40WU and he passed me!

#

meh, just be happy to be helping the world
@rich depot yeah for real

#

thats my cup of tea

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

He is probably getting larger units

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

he has a xeon, so i think the server architecture has something to do with it

#

but he is mostly GPU's with 2 gtx 1080Tis

#

hmmm

#

are radeon cards good at folding?

#

I did make some changes to the advanced settings to get bigger loads

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

I think they would be cost efficient

#

but not so much strength as other GPUs, although we are using less than 40% of our GPUs as is

@polar folio I'm using an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, and it seems to be humming along just fine
@edgy iris thats good to know, I have a readeon 7 laying around with double the memory of a gtx1080 so i figure it might be able to handle bigger workloads... I have to install it tho and I had it in mind for a hackintosh 😦 but anything for more folding powaaaaaa!!!

TPF?

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 4:46 PM

i find anything over 1 minute TPF kind of annoying, because it means something is bottle-necking in this system... it could be different for your systems tho

it's really bad if it's like 8 minutes

It has ALL the resources

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 4:47 PM

last night one of my GPU's failed and it was the WU that had a TPF of 8 minutes

#

ridiculous

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

is it ded?

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

nah, i paused and started it again and it just picked up a new WU

#

works fine

#

thankfully, a failed fold doesn't mean a broken gpu

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 4:48 PM

but it does mean time lost (and you lost some ground vs your friend)

why is my webveiwer not working?

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

why is my webveiwer not working?
@patent crane couple reasons

#

it could be cache not letting it load right

#

so deleting cache can work

#

also it might be a webviewer from a previopus instance of F@H and it might just be wonky, so closing and opening a new webviewer might work

#

Here are my settings for bigger workloads and faster downloads starting preparations at 90% of the previous fold, hopefully it works for you guys too
@polar folio word of WARNING before you start, this is useful for computers 8 cores and up

my poor 5 2600

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

@patent crane how many WU you didnt doesnt really matter. You could have had very large WU and completed few, or gotten many that were small.

#

measuring with the points is a better measure if you are looking to compare, or just be happy to be contributing like me lol

patent crane Apr 9, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

then i want to look at my total score which is 38,071

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

is that PPD?

patent crane Apr 9, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

where is PPD?

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

are you in webclient or in advanced viewer?

patent crane Apr 9, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

client atm should i switch?

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

you can use either

#

its under the disease you support researching

#

is says points per day

#

find it?

patent crane Apr 9, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

points per day if i allow medium usage so i can still play on my computer is abut 71000

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

are you using a GPU too?

patent crane Apr 9, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

yes

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

@patent crane I have like 400 WU's with 2.5 million+ points and my buddy has like 40, only 40 WUs and he already passed my score with over 3.2 million points, and his system is a 4core 8thread form 2014, so I figure you are going to be scoring high points too! Points are calculated by an i5 machine in the F@H headquarters and it is designed to give you the most points depending on how hard it is for your machine to calculate, so if you have a super duper machine you might get less points after all 🙂

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

@patent crane then you can check the GPU and CPU tab for each one of their point amounts

patent crane Apr 9, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

my gpu is getting 379496 PPD

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 5:03 PM

@patent crane in other words, the results your machine makes might surprise you

ya

#

my gpu is getting 379496 PPD
@patent crane thats like ridiculously awesome

rich depot Apr 9, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

wut?

#

you didnt ask what GPU he is using

patent crane Apr 9, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

cinabench says its higher than what other 5 2600's get and that gpu is a 580

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

nice

patent crane Apr 9, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

@patent crane based on other peoples data with that GPU you are performing at spec

i wonder what I'm doing wrong

#

8 minute tpfs

#

is it overheated?

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 5:08 PM

hmmm

#

or a outdated driver

#

or how many lanes does it have?

should i for the fun of it try and see how my computer that has a pentium 4 and a radeon 2600 in it and see how that fairs?

#

interesting

smoky rose Apr 9, 2020, 5:10 PM

Point estimate? That GPU is not supported. So it will not fold. 0 points per day.

@patent crane fan? i have mine open case, it helps, and i sometimes aim the A/C at it

smoky rose Apr 9, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

@patent crane No. You can lower the number of threads to lower the temp.

#

Well, there is also the obvious solutions. Reapply thermal compound. Get a better cooler. Add chassi fans. Clean out dust. Move the machine from under the pile of laundry to somewhere it can get fresh cool air.

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

@polar folio Three slots. Index 0, 1 and 2.
@smoky roseI actually have another NVS 810 that has dual gpu inside it for 2D stuff, but it sucks for folding and 3D, so i have the GPU's assigned to slots 2 and 3

#

I think my issue lies in the OpenCL and the Cuda indexes

smoky rose Apr 9, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

And I misread. Thought you had 2x gtx 1080.
YEah, that looks right if the NVS 810 occupies slot 0 and 1.

polar folio Apr 9, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

yeah, i thought it might cause that confusion too, lol

#

dual gtx 1080 lol

i have to switch the titan out, maybe it will work better if both cards are the same

Now to see what I've been missing out on without a GPU

smoky rose Apr 9, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

@odd barn There are three situations where you get the no wu for your config error.

The server is busy being DDOS'ed by hundred of thousands of folders and can't take your call at the moment.
You did something really wonky to your config.
There really are no WU for your configuration.

1 and 3 are common. Which one it is at the moment...no clue. Result it the same.
2 is unlikely unless you actually went pushing buttons you shouldn't have.

Every time FAH fails to get a new WU the time until next attempt increase. Eventually you will be waiting hours between attempts. You can pause, wait a moment, start again. Now the timer have reset. Do not abuse this as it, if the reason is 1, will only add to the friendly fire DDOS.

odd barn Apr 9, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

@smoky rose Thanks for your reply, looks like it was just #1

smoky rose Apr 9, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

It's one or the other. Sometimes it is a game of luck trying to get a WU before someone else snatch it.

#

https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats

#

There are currently 476K jobs.

#

When it drops down to half that you can expect quite long times of idle. Unless you are folding on both cpu and gpu. If you do that one, or the other, is bound to pick somthing up.

#

What GPU did you have previously btw? Running them both now?

wooden charm Apr 9, 2020, 10:50 PM

this going to be close..

#

fingers crossed for 10 place

#

well, to be frank, im pretty happy if someone kick med lower down the list 🙂

#

running 3 2070 Super, 2 RX480, 1 5700XT and 32 cpu cores and not beeing in top 10 is pretty epic 🙂

keen cypress Apr 9, 2020, 11:03 PM

I've got two 7970s, a 6970 and a 2600xt (which I kinda just threw in for a laugh).

Any idea why the other GPUs aren't getting any work?

keen cypress Apr 9, 2020, 11:48 PM

@restive kelp in terms of the FP16 and FP32 above, it means floating point.

#

flops, floating point operations per second

keen cypress Apr 9, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

@golden zephyr I think I've done that right - nothing's immediately started working though so I'll leave it tonight and see what happens. What exactly does running in advanced mode do?

restive kelp Apr 9, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

ah. so which one would I use? 16 or 32? or is that architecture?

#

I've got an overclocked i5 650

keen cypress Apr 9, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

16 or 32 bit floating point - denotes the size of the floating point variable.

#

I imagine the number you're trying to calculate is FP32 FLOP/s.

restive kelp Apr 9, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

..I believe so

#

my rough guess is that 16 is either less accurate or for graphics cards

#

?

keen cypress Apr 9, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

Less accurate.

restive kelp Apr 9, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

we'll go 32

keen cypress Apr 9, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

16 bit means that it uses 16 bits to store the information. 32 bit uses twice as much data but can handle a much, much larger number.

restive kelp Apr 9, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

can I make a script to calculate my flops, or is their a set number for clarkdale?
