Good to know. how do you get 64 GPUs?

A secret known only to a few, and if he told you he would probably have to kill you ;-)

Tell me first, then kill me.

Is it possible to have 1 raspberry pi hand out work units to the other raspberry pi's in a cluster? And have 1 computer account be the go-between of all of them in the cluster and SETI? So that the cluster would look like 1 PC to SETI?

Judging by the difference between my current score and the score shown in the table, about 13 hours ago. Perhaps assume 'daily' as a plausible interval?

Hal, thanks for the heads up, quick question, does what you run in that batch file nuke your historical information, which would be displayed on the Statistics page in BOINC? I have mine set to save the info for something like 12000 days or some such thing, but I don't believe that this is the issue with that huge file, because the one on the machine I am on now is only around 5 or so meg, and has over a year and a half of data points, about the same as the other one (mid-2016 setup date on both).

Quick question, I was defraging the drive after installing and then removing .net 4.0 as it didn't work (going to try 4.7.1 when it's done) and the defrager I use has a section where it lists large files. I noticed 2 that were pretty huge, and can't imagine they are supposed to be that big unless there is some type of logging situation turned on that I am not aware of. They are both in the ProgramData\BOINC directory, and are called temp_time_stats.xml and time_stats_log.

They are both about 388 meg, which isn't a big deal in the scheme of things, but wondering what they are, if they are both needed and why they might be that big? I checked on my lotsacores box, and they are both there, but are both under 5 meg. Is there a way to shrink them down to this type of size?

del time_stats_log
del http*.*
del job_log_*.txt
boinc.exe --skip_cpu_benchmarks --detach

Just seems to be the usual YMMV.
Meow.

Ok so apparently https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ is now forbidden so older versions aren't available.

That's because the URL isn't needed as HTTPS.
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/?C=M;O=D works fine. Or linking directly to the app, be it from HTTP or HTTPS:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.4.43.apk
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.4.43.apk

7.4.43 plus the Seti applications should work fine on Android 6, it's with 7 and above that there are major problems.
Or as Eric told me once: "Yes, google keeps changing the rules in the name of (a false sense of) security. What's worse, they keep changing the development kit so a command line build of the app no longer works. My last attempt at at an android 7 build resulted in an app that doesn't work. I hope to get a chance to try again soon."

I'd say it's software issue. 7.4.43 seems to be the last "good" (AKA working) version. Later versions seem to be nothing but trouble from what i've read on other boards.

Ok so apparently https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ is now forbidden so older versions aren't available.

I've made 7.4.43 available here.

Even though my home made stand is working out fine for me, I have another board that I'd like to remote the video card on, so thought since mining has been booming again recently, I would take a look at what options I had for a reasonably priced, fairly simple stand. I guess before I started looking I should have thought about what happened in the CA gold rush, and how the people who made most of the money were the ones who supplied the miners, not the vast majority of the actual miners, who broke even, or worse.

Did a quick google, hit some links to fleabay and to Amazon, and was shocked to see what they are asking for a few cut pieces of extruded aluminum and some bolts. Mind boggling, They were all at near to Way over $100, which I guess goes along with the situation we're having in video cards right now. $25, 30, maybe, but $150-250? Umm, no. I'll keep looking to see if I can find any sanity out there, or else I'll just have to roll my own again. I'm sure v 2.0 will be much better, and won't have the special Dewalt enhancements on it this time either.. ;-)

MW is fine, but IIRC to do something productive there you need to have an AMD GPU, NV stuff has troubles to work with DP used by MW.

Does that changes?

GPUGrid with it's long time to crunch WU is not really a project to use as a backup. IMHO

Is there a 'better' database to use than Informix? What does Google use, for example? SQL by MS? And is it practical to switch? Though I have heard of Informix for quite some time, I just Googled it and found that it is an IBM product. I guess I am old, but I thought that IBM had a reputation for doing big iron, and a solid DB? Or has that ossified over the years?

*edit* Just took a closer look at the quick blurb on Google, and this caught my eye: Stable release: 12.10.xC7 / June 15, 2016. I can appreciate having something just work if it ain't broke, but I don't know, it seems to me that over 18 months between stable releases seems like a pretty long time in the compressed IT world we live in now. But then again, what do I know? ;-)

As I just learned there is a maximum of 100 WUs per compute device, or device class, and with an average of about 4-5 minutes per WU, that's a maximum of about 8 hours of work I can store, and with the splitters out all the time recently, this really doesn't cut it.

I'm already out of work for two hours with the current outage.

I don't know what you guys are doing, the time estimates on both of my boxes with GTX1060s are very accurate. I run 2 at a time and they process at the rate of 4 an hour, so they estimate 30 min a task.

Since the statement has been made there is no more Arecibo work in hopper, or available, I would say the future of this thread is also in grave doubt.........

Plenty of AP resends still to come, then people can discuss how long it was since they last had an AP WU, and how much Credit they gave compared to MB..
I reckon it's got years of life, even if there is no more AP data to be split.

We can also complain about why nobody is making an app for AP for work from GBT or Parkes.
That should keep the thread alive for years too :-)

The individual user/host/team credit values are being exported normally - that's where BOINCstats and the other similar sites get their data from - but it's the project aggregate values which are missing. BOINCstats obviously recover the aggregate total by summing the individual values as they process them.

When I have that problem (compound, or even finger prints) after opening up some of the used CPU's I've bought in the past, I just go to the medicine cabinet and get some 92% rubbing (Isopropyl) alcohol and a lint free cloth, and a couple wipes with fresh spots on the towel each time & it's all gone. At least that's been my experience. I like the higher proof, more concentrated I guess.

What motherboard do you have to put the CPUs into?

I have an Intel s2600cp2j from a Natex bundle and kind of wondering if this would work for me too. $59 per CPU upgrade seems pretty good.

I have 2 - one is an ASUS Z9PE-D16 (the one with 4(!)Ethernet ports), the other is an ASROCK Rack EP2C602.

Both have BIOS which should support the V2 CPUs (waiting for them to come to find out for sure!).

Check out the BIOS in yours to see if it will support the V2s; if not, check the MB webpage to see if such a BIOS is available (fingers crossed!).

EDIT: BTW, my machines both make 75-80K RAC, but both have dual GTX 1080s installed, running 3 WUs each.

Add in as many cards as will fit in your computer. Then add this option <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> to your cc_config.xml file in your BOINC directory with Notepad.Then use Re-read config files from the Options menu in the Manager. You should see all the gpu's that are installed picked up in the Event Log. Boinc will use all available resources.

Weeeelllll... Maybe. I found that I had hit the limit of either 5 or 6 on one of my systems with dual proc Xeons and 10 4x PCI-E slots that I am using USB expanders on, and it has I believe 8 or 9 cards hooked up to it that way, but it ran out of memory space if I remember correctly, and I had to disable them one at a time until it would finally boot. I also had to go into the BIOS and disable everything that I could that wasn't necessary, to free up as much as I could. But in the 'normal' world, I'd say yeah, as many as you can get to fit onto the MB. ;-)

... and the MB credit is highly dependent on the angle rate (ar) of the packet. So is the runtime between different apps.
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=2784838125
MB can pay more than one credit per second. I have not seen AP do that.

By enabling Developer options/mode they then make other options, such as screen staying on while on charger, available.
Anything similar for Android phones?

Thanks for the idea!
The phone is now lying face-down on my night stand, continuously running two Seti tasks. I also know now why the CPU would clock down as the temperatures in this state are high. For just two cores running at full blast (and a third being used by the OS), temps have gone up from 25C to 45C and they're still rising. Glad it's cold in the bedroom.

The option is Preferences->Developer options->Stay awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)

I ran No Screen Off on that phone before but it would do so for only 10 minutes (600 seconds). I didn't dare try the other one when I read one or more people bricked their device with it. So this is the easier thing to do.
Of course enabling the Developer options is a pre (Open Settings> About> Software Information> More. Then tap “Build number” seven times to enable Developer options in the main preferences menu.)

Where I wouldn't mind leaving the phone alone and walk out the house, I'll unplug it before doing so later on. Especially with the higher heat build-up of the CPU and charger, I'd rather be home when it's doing stuff.

I was thinking of how in works, at least in Windows, when you launch BOINC with CPU affinity. It launches all child processes with the same affinity.

Ah, I see. Is it any tool in Android to see process/thread affinity like in Windows?

Anyway when the phone is idle (second picture) i see only one core seems active, while when running BOINC (first picture) it seems all are active.
Cheers

That's how should be in case each task crunched on own core andphone uses all his computation nodes for crunching.
in my case 2 tasks launched by BOINC but only 1 CPU of 2 remains active.
So, each task takes ~2 times more elapsed time than CPU time to process and phone itself operates as single core devices.

Maybe the manufacture has limited each process that starts to only use one processor with some kind of processor affinity command.
Based on the behavior you have described that seems like something that may be occurring.

But cause BOINC launches 2 tasks there are 2 independent processes actually. Still they both use CPU 0 and CPU1 get switched off soon I stop touching the screen.

Another point of comparison:

Host 8398355, currently running S@H and pogs.
[EDIT: Android 5.1.1, LG LTE model K330, in case the host info eventually gets deleted.]

Per CPU-z all 4 cores are running 97-100% at 998 MHz on wall socket, 95-99% at 1094 MHz on battery; listed range being 200MHz to 1.09 GHz

From an example WU: Wall Clock=85,532.95, CPU time=83,848.01 [seconds]

And I vaguely remember that it doesn't do Hyperthreading, but I'm forgetting how I found out.

No luck on the Xeon. Maybe I should install the resceduler and see if that helps. Or do I have to have at least one CPU already?

I have only got GPU tasks. Anybody got anything for CPU?

Anybody any thoughts on how quick the RAC should recover after the outage? Mine was quick to drop but has not shown much sign of recovery despite crunching 100% since Saturday morning.

I'm off by 3 days, but Happy Birthday Me, WooHoo, Cheers!

Yes things have changed, About 8 months ago I fired up an old 133MHz cpu, and what pops up ... Seti3, LOL, if I could have got a network card to work I would have tried reporting the 1 task that was remaining :D

I have ordered with Amazon a treadmill to exercise my legs. I received a big package containing the treadmill and a manual. The manual referred to an electric motor which I could not find in the package. Since it was on Sunday i coud not phone the firm to ask why. So I went to the website, found a blog and discovered that the model I had bought had no electric motor, only a rotating wheel. They had sent me the wrong manual. This happened often when, buying a computer or a printer you got also a manual. Now all you get is a leaflet which gives you some instructions in 20 languages. If you need a manual you have to search for it on the Web.

Which, again, is in fact not the science database that runs informix .

Is this along with each's systems OS and primary DB documented anywhere?

Since the issue is with the SETI@home science database and not the master or replica databases I'm not sure how how the deadlines would even be relevant.
Given the data is stored in the science database after it has been validated.

The reason for the serverside limits was due to the load on master database and it falling over or just plain getting bogged down.

I too have wondered why SETI has stuck with the extremely long deadlines I assess were implemented for the original hardware used on the project. That kind of hardware is 18 years in the past and does not need to continue to be supported. I agree with you Jeff, I would expect the sizes of databases and the strain they put on the project would be greatly lessened if the deadlines were reduced by a month, lets say from the current 2 month deadline.

As I understand it, the reason there has been no adjustment is because Eric does not wish to disenfranchise anybody from participating in this project.

And that would include folks with very meager hardware resources. Not everybody can afford what some of us are able to.

That is why.

From the Informix site:

Fast, Always-on Transactions

Provides one of the industry’s widest sets of options for keeping data available at all times, including zero downtime for maintenance.

Eric mentioned Informix, which I suspect is IBM's Informix DB, probably waiting on a new build from them. Or at minimum awaiting an undocumented config switch as a temp work-a-round. There was some backend working happening last night, perhaps they gave it a go and ran into further issues.

It's all fine. The project will be back in January. Maybe a little earlier than that.

Which January?

Just had a look at my request backoffs.
The GPUs just finished some AP work, so their backoffs are only 20min.
The CPU backoff is 15hrs. A bit extreme IMHO.

That is just 1 of the reasons why I've stuck with the old BOINC version that I use, back offs never exceed 4hrs.

Cheers.

Ok, I think I get it now. I'll stop running iGPU and see if anything changes. Everything else has been running fine before...I think? We'll see if anything improves. One last thing and I'll let this go: when my iGPU work units are running, it says it is using a fraction of a CPU + the iGPU. The last WU I ran, for example, is using 0.00314 CPU + 1 Intel GPU. I assumed that for that work unit that is all the unit needed to crunch. My four CPUs are all running tasks, one with the NVIDIA, two dedicated to their WUs, and I am assuming the last one just decides to run one non-GPU WU, but keeping a fraction of its power on the side for the iGPU.

Thanks again for the help!

That's 1 of the reasons that I stick with an old version of BOINC, it has a much more usable Messages tab instead, but every time someone posts into 1 of those News threads you get to know about it. ;-)

Cheers.

I have 5,946,970 points according to BOINC. Is that average for people processing Seti@Home? Am I in the upper quarter? The lower quarter? How do I compare to everyone else?

Project Rank		12,200 of 1,709,030 ( 0.00134% of the project total )
Overall Percentile	99.28614%

BOINC World position based on RAC 	6,532 out of 1,709,030

FYI - MS just pushed new NVidia driver 388.13 for Win 10. Apparently this time it does include OpenCL, unlike any previous pushes of NV drivers.
HOWEVER, any SoG 8.20 tasks fail with "postponed 30 seconds" message in task log, and will never start.
Downloaded fresh 388.13 from NVidia site, had same result. so perhaps not just missing OpenCL.
Fell back to 382.33 and am back in business.

Instead of doing that, would it be possible to have Boinc start up more CPU tasks when the GPUs run dry? Like 4 more for a total of 9, leaving 1 core for daily driver usage? And then suspend the extra CPU tasks when the GPUs start picking up work again.

That's what my system does.
I reserve 1 CPU core for each GPU WU. When the GPU runs out of work, those released CPU cores start crunching CPU work. When the GPUs start up again, 1 CPU WU pauses for each GPU WU that starts running, and when a CPU WU finishes crunching, it just finishes off the paused CPU WUs.

My app_config.xml
<app_config>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v8</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>1.00</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1.00</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

Just change the cpu_usage and gpu_usage values in your App_info.xml, exit BOINC & restart.

My only issue with the newer version of BOINC is the removal of the event log from the main screen & being moved to the Tools menu.
But being able to use app_config.xml & not worry about trashing my cache due to a simple typo in app_info.xml means I can deal with it (annoying as it is).

......
Meanwhile my 17th comes up very shorty but I can't find the thread for it ........

I'm not up on SETI's current storage infrastructure, but in today's announcement from Eric he mentioned needing 300TB of additional storage! That cost will be huge, especially if that needs to be spinning storage, so any hope for "other" improvements are not likely for a while I presume.

I wouldn't consider $7000 (Toshiba 3TB @$70 X 100) a huge cost if they get $70,000 a year for donations.

. . To be fair it would be a little more as they would need to be a raid array for security. But less than double that I am sure. But even at $10K to $12k it is a significant burden but not what I would consider a HUGE cost, especially compared to other requirements that are much more expensive.

Stephen

??

Lots of parts still missing:

- 100 bay enclosure, SuperMicro makes a 90 bay for $6000 (However you would not use 3TB drives for an array of this size)
- Toshiba 3TB drives are SATA, so you'll need a 100 port controller card, which isn't made, but you can get low range 24 port cards for ~$500/each
- MB/RAM/Fiber cards?

This is not how they'd build such an array anyhow, and we have no idea what throughput is required. Given their budget, this array would be significant, even if they homebrewed it.

Thank you, though it was in May. I guess we are the "old" timers?

I thought AMD hardware always had issues running more than 1 Seti WU at a time on a video card?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to run 2 workers on 1 AMD GPU. For some reason I always get this error:

11/5/2017 10:46:20 PM | SETI@home | Entry in app_config.xml for app 'setiathome_v8', plan class '' doesn't match any app versions

Here is the app_config.xml:

<app_config>
    <app_version>
        <app_name>setiathome_v8</app_name>
        <avg_ncpus>0.5</avg_ncpus>
        <ngpus>0.5</ngpus>
    </app_version>
</app_config>

Many guys on the webz claim this config is working for them, and looking through BOINC's wiki it looks like a valid config file to me.

Any ideas what's wrong?

a. If more credit per hour means more numbers crunched, then how come the GTX580s crunch more numbers than a 4x faster card (in GFLOPS aspect)?

A cards GFLOPs rating is a very much a theoretical number.
The software being run has to actually be able to take advantage of that potential performance.
Which is why for a given Nvidia card the SoG application leaves the older CUDA applications way behind. And for the same card the Linux special application leaves the SoG application way behind. And as good as that application is, it still doesn't come close to the theoretical (ie claimed) SP (Single Precision) performance of that card.

There are lies, damned lies, statistics, benchmarks, and finally claimed Floating/Integer performance numbers.

Fanboy-ism and trolling aside, we all know historically AMD cards have (almost) always had better raw computational power in the consumer market. Professional offerings are almost neck-and-neck (drivers and SW support not taken into account).

A GTX580 (stock clocks) has ~1.6 GFLOPS of compute power. RX 580 on the other side has ~6.2 GFLOPS. That is 5 times (!) more raw power.

Do you really believe the alt coin miners would go for 100s of AMD cards if they had a way to make GTX580 profitable?

No way nvidia's GTX580 crunches more numbers than a RX 580, all other factors aside. This means that the key is in the "other factors", e.g. CUDA vs OpenCL, or other cruncher optimizations. Maybe the workload is just too non-typical and AMD cards have no shortcuts crunching it? Maybe I'm simply misinterpreting the chart?

Anyhow, yesterday I got an email from S@H about how much more processing power is needed for the new telescopes and projects. Maybe, just maybe, if some skilled individual(s) spend some time optimizing the code for AMD cards more, we'll get some of that needed power for "free"? Bear in mind however, that I don't really know how many of the AMD owners are contributing to SETI@home, with all the mining craze currently raging. It might be not worth it to optimize further for just a few AMD cards, which would be really sad for me, since my RX is crunching for SETI most of the time.

That's why I suspect there's something odd about the way Keith's Linux client is doing the requesting, which causes the server to fall over with an error. And of course if the server daemon falls over, it has to restart and re-cache whatever it held in memory - that'll slow things down.

Keith's log contained:

According to theregister.co.uk the Windows 10 Creators Fall Update includes a Linux release but I cannot find it in my Home edition on a HP PC. Has any Windows 10 user succeeded in using it?

After this, I plan to analyze the SOG version of r3584. Does SOG change the strategy for optimization?

No, on my tests SoG was always slower on AMD GPU`s but you have got a much faster GPU so worth a try.

I gave the config mod a try on one of my notebooks and it does seem to work for CUDA & iGPUs.

. . Tease! :)

Having BOINC report more GPUs than exist in the system is also pretty easy & doesn't require modifying any code. Just tweaking some configs.

I tried that when I found that out from the source code, however it did not work for me. That is why I had to make some modifications to the boinc client code and I wanted make it to be visible for everyone and that is why the Ti is called Tu.

I'm still a week off. (browsing through the threads and vanishing -- screaming as I distance from the real world for a week off from duty <3)

There's Tools -> Retry pending transfers in Manager and "--network_available" in boinccmd.

Thanks, but I don't use GUI part at all for this endeavor and editing XML once would be preferable than to introduce boinccmd.

[xml]$cli_state = Get-Content D:\Temp\state.xml
$project = $cli_state.client_state.project | where {$_.master_url -eq 'http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/'}
$set1 = $project.rsc_backoff_time | where {$_.name -eq 'CPU'}
$set1.value = "0.0"
$set2 = $project.rsc_backoff_interval | where {$_.name -eq 'CPU'}
$set2.value = "0.0"
$set3 = $project.rsc_backoff_time | where {$_.name -eq 'ATI'}
$set3.value = "0.0"
$set4 = $project.rsc_backoff_interval | where {$_.name -eq 'ATI'}
$set4.value = "0.0"
$cli_state.Save("D:\Temp\state.xml")

I think there is a problem with doing that on his systems. They have been trying to figure out how to run multiple clients from the command line in the "BOINC portable" for Windows hosts thread.

And if it's offline? The reporting requests will go into extended backoff, and take no time at all.

So,when data directory will be taken to internet host - would that backoff remain? Or re-launching boinc.exe on internet host will trigger immediate connection attempt again?

I think I am going to have to set the max_task_reported tag. I updated all the crunchers after the project came back up and the log said all were successful. I then took down Numbskull for the rebuild but now that I have checked the hosts, I see that the reported tasks for it didn't take.

I also had something strange occur again on the Linux cruncher. I've seen it one time before. If a task is unsuccessful in downloading and the log says either task * was supposed to be 720XXX bytes and it got 0 bytes or the task is missing its header, then BOINC crashes the machine and it reboots. Anybody else see that? Is this a known bug or is it something that has to be reported?

I hate windows 10!

WhY?

I wasted several days to turn off all WU drivers, as they have been coming without OpenCL support, which crashes Win10 when using SETi@home.

You're not the only 1 this time, but at least my caches got very near full before that happened. ;-)

Given the Ryzen 7 1700X has a base clock of 3.4GHz, which is about 13% higher that my host, most of the performance gain looks to be from a higher clock. Given Ryzen is 5 years newer this is the source of my disappointment.

You need to look at Ryzen in comparison to what it replaced- it is a massive improvement over the previous architecture.

No, Ryzen doesn't match the current Intel CPUs for IPC (Instructions Per Clock), but it comes pretty close- which is a monumental improvement. With a year or 2 of data of real world usage, I personally expect Ryzen2 to come very close to matching the Intel CPUs at that time. Improved Ryzen hardware, and improved compiler options.

As it stands, you can buy a high end Intel system, with it's much higher IPC, or you can buy a Ryzen system for half the price (or less) that is only slightly behind the Intel CPU in performance, or actually beats it for multi-threaded applications.
The very latest release of Intel CPUs takes back the performance crown for even mutli-threaded workloads, but you will pay at least 2.5 times the price just for the CPU compared to a Ryzen based CPU. And that doesn't include the much higher pricing for the motherboard suitable to run those CPUs compared to the motherboard required for a Ryzen based system.

I took a look at your E5-2670. It is not all that impressive in regard to your APR or number of tasks per day validated. I don't know which Ryzen7 1800X systems you are comparing it too. Could you link the hosts of your comparison. I'm curious. I also wonder if those systems are stock or have been overclocked to what they are capable of.

I don't know of anyone running BOINC on Threadripper yet. As expected it is running into some of the same early issues of the Ryzen AM4 platform with CPU and memory overclocks being difficult to stabilize. But progress is being made and much faster compared to Ryzen since Ryzen cleared the path already on a lot of issues. After all TR is barely a month old and Ryzen is over 6 months old.

And now my "portable boinc" experiment has new bottleneck - time to put data from internet host to flash drive.
Estimated as ~16 minutes... Will be inconvenient on regular usage.
But cause I move whole data directory all executables/binary caches are moven back and forth too - quite considerable share of whole data transfer actually.
Here some optimisation should be possible....

When i will handle the separately preferences e.g. home/school etc the appears this message on all tasks:

Unable to handle request
Link has timed out. Please click Back, refresh the page, and try again.

i have switch the browser - but this was not the solution.

Please fix it - thankyou

Oh, thanks for such detailed confirmation of my observations! Very good to know it's repeatable issue. So I will report it to BOINC devs then.

Just one clarification - did you see 100% CPU usage on host with reduced files set or on absolutely normal BOINC installation?

Perhaps it resembles my issue. "switchedoff" CPU is on lowest possible frequency and keeps that freq no matter that phone has 2 active background tasks.

Interesting, if SETI would run on normal priority there - will it chenge?

BTW, what app did you use on screenshot?

Out of the larger units I have completed so far I've found they take ~40% longer and provide ~40% more credit than similar smaller task.

See my previous post- it all comes down to luck.

Since 'credit screwed' came out that has always been the case........LOL.

Karsten has an XFX RX 480 8gb GPU, I have an MSI RX 480 8gb GPU. He runs a Lunatics app on Windows 10, I run Seti stock app on Windows 7. The OpenCL capabilities as reported in the task output is the same as mine, yet he is able to run with an -sbs setting of 2048 and higher with no problems, whereas if I raise the -sbs setting to 1536 or higher, I get the same error message as the OP reported on his Vega. This shows that the error is a software limitation based upon how the app was compiled for a given operating system. The 3221225472 is 3gb of OpenCl memory, so allocating the 1460 MB or 1.5gb is no problem. When I use an -sbs setting of 1504, 1577MB of OpenCL memory is allocated for buffers.

The next test for the OP is to see how the Vega reacts to an Astropulse task. I suspect it will be like what happens on our GPUs and he won't be happy.

In testing with my 8GB R9 390X using sbs values over 2048 showed no improvement. Until there is a 64-bit version of the app I wouldn't expect values of 4096 or greater to work.

It looks like the Vega 64 runs SETI@home tasks in about the same amount of time as a Fury X. My 390X runs normal AR tasks about the same as a Fury X taking ~6min.
I was hoping the Vega 56 might be a worthy replacement for my 390X, but the reviews I have seen for it are not all that great.
Since I also run Milkyway the reduced DP GFLOPs of Vega are not really desirable either.

I am having trouble seeing updated results with command line changes. Seems like in the past, the Valid task list was in a logical order. Now , I have trouble finding data for latest tasks. For tasks with sbs=4096, there is an error with a 30s wait time. I have not seen results since I have changed back to sbs=1024. Now, I have also changed to 2 tasks per GPU to see how it works out.

Hello,

Currently, for Seti@Home, we are mainly using nVidia GeForce and some AMD Radeon GPU's.
We'd like to increase our crunching performance by applying nVidia TESTLA GPU's, we never used it before.
I've already tried to find information about it, but didn't found anything.
So, will TESLA GPU have really magnificent performance when running Seti?
On nVidia GeForce 1080 we get about 40 000 in computer statistics.
Any information will be appreciated.

Best regards.

Are we crashing here????
Checked a couple of rigs, and getting 'no tasks available'.
And the stats pages are not responding well at all.
Hope not, being Friday afternoon.

Meow?

Thanks for that. Yea I didn't have a lot of time to look in depth on that board so I guess my original thought was right about CPU.

Minimum 3 PSU (betting would need more) so how to get them all to power on at the same time and off.

It turns out you need to run Linux in order to make it work. Only 8 Nvidia and 8 AMD cards currently.

AMD is said to be working on a new driver that will allow full 19 PCIe usage.

I wonder if one of the new i9 10 cores would work in it??? Ideal would be an Threadripper Mobo with 19 PCIe slots...But then the question becomes, how in the HECK do you power all those GPUs and the board????

I agree, I don't like the idea of having to use a Kabylake CPU, not enough cores and not enough PCIe lanes..

Of course after I said this I saw the new i9

Intel Core i9-7900X X-Series 3.3 GHz Ten-Core LGA 2066 Processor

Hmm.. I still don't like only 2 stick of RAM....

A big improvement in memory bandwidth, particularly writes.

Indeed it is, I wonder what the difference is when I add an additional dimm per socket

What app generates the memory chart output?
I can run it on mine for comparison.
Intel states the max memory bandwidth for these CPUs is 51.2 GB/s.

You kinda need to compile it yourself: https://github.com/opcm/pcm

Use a 19" x 15" rack frame, PSUs & other "support" stuff in a 4U layer at the bottom, motherboard in a 6U layer in the middle, then radiators etc in a 3 or 4 U layer at the top. Plenty of space for circulation fans on the middle layer to keep the beast cool.

Indeed it is, I wonder what the difference is when I add an additional dimm per socket

I suppose it's the same colours as used on the server status page: https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_server_status.php

I'm going to try something like the Thermaltake Core X9 when I need new cases as the GPU's won't be stacked on top of each other and they should run cooler.

Cheers.

For interest, anyone got a comparison for running the system with a lean Linux distro compared to the much larger Windows installs?

The top spots look to go to Linux for the time being at least:

Top hosts


Is there a few more percent to be gained there??

Happy fast crunchin',

My next experiment with the E5-2670 box is to upgrade to a MS Windows Server 2012 r2 (standard) so I can practice being a system admin and other assorted skills.

Having now installed MS Windows Server 2012 r2 I have some advice.

Don't install this type of OS [SERVER] unless you have an over-riding need like I did/do. Even when installed with the GUI it feels awkward and clumsy because it is a "Server" not a workstation.

It doesn't even have a shutdown button in the Gui. You have to go to the powershell and type "shutdown /s" w/o the quotes. No, I don't know what the /s means. I am working my way through the very beginning of an "install and configure" the MS Server 2012 r2 course.

I ran across a method of installing MS Security Essentials (which is unsupported) so I don't have to pay even more for a Server level anti-virus. I did manage to get the two profiles merged on the Seti Website. Right now it still looks like I may end up going thru the application test cycle again.

If you change OS's it might be a good idea to immediately suspend get new tasks until you have the profiles merged. Then it MIGHT just send you what it was sending you.

Otherwise it seems to be just munching along like it used to.

I've simplified my cc_config files on all machines down to bare minimum. There was a lot of fluff in there. Basically every option that can be set was in the file and even though they mostly were all set to 0, I figure if the client doesn't need to read them, all the better. Will be interesting to watch and see if that makes any kind of dramatic difference in my work request issues.

Hi everyone,

I have an old netbook that was working successfully on SETI@home WUs for a few weeks before I went on vacation. I left it running while on vacation, but there was a power failure while I was away, and then another power failure after that.

After I got back and turned the machine back on and got Boinc running again, it looks (from boincmgr) to be working. It has been submitting completed WUs most days. But the WUs aren't being counted. There is an increasingly large list of "In Progress" tasks, and the total credit has been stuck at 2977 for quite a while (maybe since before I went on vacation?)

Another strange symptom: the "number of times client has contacted server" number was 0 after restart, and stayed at 0 through a few apparent complete WU uploads.

The computer is Squishy.

I'm just hoping someone has some pointers for figuring out what is going wrong.

Thanks for all the comments guys, and it may be too early to tell, though I know that I've heard that X299 has had some teething problems, but does anyone have any thoughts on the v 1.0 of this new platform? X99 sure could have been rolled out better, and this one looks like a copy of that experience?

No idea.
If you're buying something for work, then go with the established platform. If it's for play, then go for the new platform IMHO. If you really want to go with the new platform, give it at least 6 months for any issues to be discovered and addressed.

+1
Which sort of flows back to the original premise of the OP. Who is willing to be a guinea pig for ANY of the new platforms? X299 or X399. Do you like living on the bleeding edge and just diving in or do you wait and test the waters to make sure it is a deep pool or is in reality a bathtub.

I have been tested with the teething problems of the new AM4 platform and Ryzen with the memory and BIOS issues. I think I will be seated on the sidelines for a good half year watching TR develop before I consider testing the waters. I don't think the platform maturity will take as long though with the learning from Ryzen and AM4.

The 1000 total WU limit is in BOINC.
The 100 WUs per CPU/GPU limit is a Seti one.

So the 1000 limit is circumventable with the proper coding knowledge, but the 100 is client side and is in stone?

Pretty early on things like BOINC and OS versions were discussed to try and pinpoint their issue.
Nothing has really made sense as to why only a few users are having issues.
The only thing I can think of at this point is that there is some weirdness along their route connecting to Berkley.

You allude to connectivity issues being the problem. But if you don't connect to Berkeley, then you obviously couldn't get the responses we receive that you have reached a limit of tasks in progress or that there are no tasks to send.

I wish I had some advice for everybody here, but alas I do not.
I don't wish to jinx myself, but I have never had any problem getting work except when RTS was empty and nobody was getting much work.

I am using an old tried and true version of Boinc. I can't imagine that the work requests from the old Boinc are different than from a recent version, or that the scheduler would treat them any differently.
I am using XP on 4 rigs, and 7 on my daily driver. No difference there.
I am using the most recent version of the Lunatics installer.

I dunno. Maybe the scheduler just says 'Make way, it's the kittyman calling'...............LOL.

Meow meow meow.

Well, that was what piqued my interest.

I can think of lots of questions:
--can a Phi run an x86 app unmodified?
--can it run a windows x86 app unmodified?
--what is it about the app that makes it run on the Phi, not the standard CPU?
--does intel supply a launcher/dispatcher/wrapper which can initiate any given app on the Phi?

--can BOINC define a Phi coprocessor? (yes, there's a 'roll your own' option)
--can a given BOINC app be defined to run on the r-y-o copro? (yes, app_info should take care of that, subject to the first group of answers)

--will a BOINC server allocate tasks to an anonymous app on a r-y-o copro?
--will the SETI server allocate tasks to an anonymous app on a r-y-o copro?

Any more, before I pony up 8 months of pension?

I'd idly wandered past the Xeon Phi pages a few days ago, now that they are available to order in the UK in a workstation format.

But I think the 68-core Phi itself is configured as a coprocessor, not directly available to either Windows or BOINC. But we won't know for certain until somebody buys one...

The "You're all crazy" sent a perfectly innocent coffee up my nose and elsewhere...!!

Martin, you still haven't learned how to drink coffee off your monitor? :-)

I don't know whether it was the flipping applications or a complete restart of BOINC, but I am slowly refilling my gpu cache. What I always wonder is how everyone else but me gets such a huge slug of tasks in one download. I have never received more than 20 tasks at one time on any machine of mine even though I might have zero tasks in my cache. Your 70 tasks in that request TBar just astonishes me.

Hi, curently I'm using double X5675 Westmares. I'm interested how S@H tasks would benefit from AVX or AVX2 instruction sets. Now my 3.07GHz thread takes 4h50mins to process a workunit. How long would it take on E5-26.../V2 or E5-26... V3/4, supposing the same GHz (which I know that are different)? Is it worth transiting to those processors comparing to geting a second double X5675 computer (which is times cheaper)?

I'm down to about 50 gpu tasks when I should be at 300. Keep getting the project has no work available. I have changed my preferences multiple times now. This is on the special app machine so it crunches through them especially fast. Anybody else having issues getting gpu work?

My router allows me to add DNS entries. Then I have the DHCP server pass out the router address for DNS to my machines. That way I don't have to update host files for all of my machines.

That could be a more convenient way for others as well.

You know, that is a very good suggestion and more elegant than editing Hosts. I think my router can do the same and it is my DNS server for my computers.

I'm wondering how all my computers keep getting the SETI servers hosts entries commented out. They can't connect in that state. Unless I notice the building uploads or the messages that no work can be retrieved because of pending uploads, I wouldn't have known to go check the hosts file again. I don't know whether it is Windows doing the deed of some antivirus program. I have Kaspersky on the Win7 machines and using Defender on the Win10 machine. Two different AV programs makes it unlikely that they both are doing the same thing. Unless Windows directs them to do that.

Installed the 15.7.1, and 7870 still crashing, so I probably a hardware issue.

Brett

I've got 3 hosts that are having upload problems and scheduler failures for Seti. Other projects seem fine on other hosts. Server status page says upload and schedulers working so maybe another DNS issue.

[edit]Just after posting that uploads start going through.

A setting to Enable/Disable Turbo is probably in the same area where the number of cores is set as well as HT Enable/Disable. I haven't been in the BIOS for a few months, but I can double check once I get home from work.
Looking at the downloads for the S2600CP2J I do see they just released a new firmware a few days ago. The release notes don't mention anything other than patching a security issue. I would expect the options to be the same.

The E5-2670 has different number of turbo bins depending on the number of cores that are enabled.
8 to 7 cores, 4 bins, max of 3.0GHz
6 or 5 cores, 5 bins, max of 3.1GHz
4 or 3 cores, 6 bins, max of 3.2GHz
2 or 1 cores, 7 bins, max of 3.3GHz.

I would appreciate some direction on this. THANKYOU.

Tom

ps. Do you run a raid 1 on this motherboard?

Mine came with older firmware that didn't have turbo support. It is much nicer running at 3.0GHz instead of 2.6GHz.

Ok, I have just updated this MB's bios to the most current that Intel has.

My MB is an Intel S2600CP xxxxx class motherboard.

It already had Turbo support.

How are you getting yours to run at 3.0Ghz? Windows Task manager reports its running at 2.6Ghz.

I know there are some performance settings in the Bios but I would rather repeat an "experiment" than attempt one.

If you are not running this MB I would still like your input before I "go where I haven't been (yet) before." :0

Thank you,
Tom

8. Should you decided to update the BIOS. Let the system do its thing after following the instructions.
It may want to spend a few minutes beeping and rebooting. This is normal and not a sign that you have killed it. Despite it seeming as if you did.

So far I haven't felt the urge to update the bios. It seems to be working on all 32 "cylinders" so hopefully I won't feel "that" urge....

Tom

So it sounds like I need to go ahead and put an app_config.xml in each project telling it to use one cpu for one gpu. Otherwise I won't be getting the full "you really need 1 core for each SOG gpu task" when I am not running Seti on the cpu's?

I just tried that. While I can constraint the total number cpu tasks running on a project apparently I can't require each project to dedicate a core to my Seti gpu task when the non-Seti cpu task is running?

<app_config>
<app>
<name>minirosetta</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>1.0</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1.0</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

What am I missing?

Tom

I don't believe a new 32-bit CPU was released to beta recently, only the 64-bit one.

OK, looks like the terminology is confusing me.

So the new stock "Windows/x86 running on an AMD x86_64 or Intel EM64T CPU 8.08 (alt)" application will also run on 32bit OSs- the 64 bit part only relates to the CPU?

Wait for it................................wait for it...........................

Meow.

Eggsactly! Patience I believe will be a virtue in this instance. I was at Microcenter a few days ago, their shelves were still wiped out, other than some $650-850 cards, and the channel certainly isn't anywhere close to being refilled again, so I think there is a bit more pain to be felt by the less savvy of the mining group. Which will be Great for us... Silly Rabbit, mining is for fools. ;-)

Does anyone have a copy of the new CPU executable to download for 32bit OSs?
I've got Lunatics installed on my old C2D, this new application is much faster than the older one for that hardware.
I'm guessing I just need the executable in the Seti project directory, and change all the references in app_info.xml from the present one to the new one & it should work? No other files required (it uses the existing ones?)

Grant,
I looked high and low but can't find your C2D (32 bit) listed as a computer that is running on Seti/SetiBeta now. Might try setting it up under SetiBeta. I looked at another response here and am inferring that there has been a 32 bit version available for a month. I run all 64 bit so I can't help.

Tom

What you will notice when the iGPU is processing tasks, in an app called ThrottleStop, is that some cores maybe downclocking to keep within the TDP.
I noticed this when I was processing tasks with my i5-4210U, 2 tasks on the CPU + 1 iGPU task = Throttle hell

So, right now, I don't think I have any support for using Intel GPU HD4000 slows down the whole system theory. The results might change if there was not also a discrete gpu running.

The "graph" however, shows a distinct downward trend ever since I started up the Intel gpu. So that maybe my negative evidence.

Tom

Since I don't make dedicated crunching machines. I spec my systems for what I need and then see how the configuration runs the tasks for my projects.

Hal,
Thank you for the additional discussion.

If you were going to pick the most power efficient i7 w/HT and at least 3Ghz base speed what would you pick?

Ditto 6c/12t Any "man on horseback guesses"?

Ditto 8c/12t. I am confident that the E5-2670 is not the lowest powered version of this core count even though it has some of the best used prices out there. And when we get up into 8c's running much faster than 2.5Ghz turns out to be VERY expensive. Any "man on horseback guesses"?

Tom

You could download the master user xml files and search through them.
They are available somewhere, but I don't see them right now.

They're at https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/stats/. However, it might be worth reading the thread "Is there are way or a place to get the bulk data from: Statistics | Top Computers/Hosts?" concerning the large file size and searchability issues before jumping in feet first.

You are right, they are pretty good sized. BUT if the information includes both the user email and the specs on the cpu then it is exactly what I am looking for. I even have a fairly recent vintage Access 2010. If I can get it loaded and end up with fields with some search functionality. Hmmmm....

It maybe however that Notepad++ would be able to simply "find" all the X5670's for instance and that would give me a list that I can some how send out emails or PM's to.

Tom

GPU projects that I know of:

Seti, Seti_Beta, Einstein, Collatz, Milkyway, MooWrapper, PrimeGrid, Xansons, Burp, Universe, GPUGrid.

Some of the projects due not have a client for every type Nvidia, Amd, Intel. Some of them the client is still in development and not released yet. So you will have to check them out individually to see if they have one that will work with your graphics card.

You might have missed the link to this site in the other thread about building a 32 threaded system.
http://natex.us/intel-s2600cp2j-motherboard-dual-e5-2670-sr0kx-64gb-pc3-12800r/
Pretty much the same specs but about $436 less. Last October/November I was buying the version bundled with 128GB of ram and they were only like $480 each instead of $740. Supply and demand at work!

However this looks like a better packaged deal. Since it is everything except HDDs for $485 less and 128GB instead of 64GB of ram.
http://natex.us/enthoo-128kit

They also have rack servers if that is your thing.
http://natex.us/servers/servers-package-deals/

I did miss that link. I have since visited it and the price has jumped just a little bit to $878.00 While it is currently "out of stock" I just got an email back from them that said they will get fans tomorrow and have it in stock again.

My main concern about the video card slots is the "!Please note!
This does not have a 16x slot".

Since this would be for a General Purpose Boinc cruncher but would be urged on with at least a Gtx 1060 video card, I am worried about the limited number of high high end video slots. And wondering if anyone knows if the "not having a 16x slot" would slow down Seti gpu processing? I have heard of one gpu intensive project where the bandwidth between the cpu and the gpu does make a difference (Milky way or maybe Einstein? Don't remember since it wasn't a project I am doing).

Thank you,
Tom

I went through a number of PSUs, MBs, & fans for the Optiplex 740, 750, 980, 7010, & 9020 systems I had at my last work.
My opinion is that they are not the most ideal cruncher, but they will work. At least for a bit...

Did you hang something like a Gtx 1060 on any of them? And/or add an after market PS so you could? Did any of them "fry"?

I will admit, I only have the 1 sample of it frying. But I wouldn't mind running a Gtx 1060 on my 7010 if I was confident it wouldn't fry again.

I have been thinking about a Gtx 1050Ti but I don't know what they "really" draw. I had assurances that a Gtx 750Ti only drew 35 watts after startup so I haven't worried about running it in the "dinky Dell's" I have been playing with.

Tom

So back to the "Getting the most production for the least electricity". I have started a "Z machines" thread here https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=81696 so Al, Jim and anyone else interested in the HP Z machines can talk about them.

We have spec's for a dedicated Boinc/Seti machine running an i5 and two gtx 1060's with possible upgrade to a third 1060 from Hal9000. He proposed a https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=81586&postid=1873641#1873641

If I wanted to build a system dedicated to running SETI@home today. I would go for:
i5-7400 CPU
H270 motherboard
two GTX 1060 3GB's
650w 80Plus Platinum PSU

In a later post Hal9000 said

The MB I considered for this configuration does have 3 PCIe x16 slots. Two of them are only x4 electrical, but that shouldn't be much of an issue.
Here are links to the parts I had in mind. MB, CPU, Mem, PSU, GPUs

edit: Darn, lost the links to the parts!

And a couple of a PS and Gpu's that the website link is down on.

So the other question is for most efficient all BOINC projects specs would someone propose?

After scanning through some previous Seti results and a couple of clinfo saved text files. On my RX 480 Max frequency increases with an increase of the overclock. I haven't tried lowering the clock below the factory overclock to see if Max frequency decreases.

Thanks Hal, that is the file I was looking for I guess. The 1060 is identified in <bus_id>33</bus_id> and the 1070s are identified in <bus_id>36</bus_id> and <bus_id>37</bus_id>

So in effect the 1060 has the "lowest" bus ID enumerator. Now it all makes sense.

Now for the part that doesn't make sense so far. I have been looking at the stderr.txt outputs for completed and validated tasks and it seems that BOINC is mixing up the number of compute units assigned to the card type in the output. The 1070s have 15 CU and the 1060 has 10 CU. The clock frequencies don't match up with the card names and the CU's are swapped.

Thanks for the explanation on how RAC is calculated Hal. Yes, you are correct. I never considered the compression in the vertical height in the graph to fit all projects. I remembered that you can plot individual projects separately. I did in fact hit the low spot you mention.
SETI statistics

I guess I just had a particularly poor paying mix of work on that host compared to the 8350 host over the last month.

No, I am doing the exact same thing on the FX rigs. I haven't been able to fathom why the 8370 has fallen so far behind the 8350.

Different work mix?
Today my C2D has been getting just Arecibo Work, with the odd GBT WU thrown in (just got a dozen GBT WUs- most in ages) > Even over the last week it has been heavily Arecibo work.
My i7 while been getting mostly Arecibo work has had periods of batches of GBT work coming through.

That is the likely scenario but I haven't detected a large difference in the Arecibo/GBT mix of work between the two systems at casual glance. I haven't conducted an extensive forensic analysis with antenna origin cataloging. The same here with mostly Arecibo work on all three systems with brief spurts of GBT work. The 8370 is SLOWLY coming back to its normal RAC.

How is the project RAC determined? I always thought the project pulled the stats for the host out of the statistics_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml file on each computer. And that file is what is used to plot the statistics curve on the Statistics tab in the Manager. As I stated, my Statistics curve has been flatlined at 50K for the last month. It never showed the precipitous plummet in my RAC that the project is showing on my Host numbers for the 8350 host.

Windows is crashing with the above error when I run BOINC and also when I use Capture 1. I get the Blue screen and the error "thread stuck in device drive"

I have tried updated the graphics driver AMD Radeon R9-380, even tried rolling back to one from 2016, all have no effect.

The timing of the crashing seems to coincide with Windows 10 Update failing. For about 2-3 months now Windows 10 update is stuck It is trying to install "Feature update to Windows 10, version 1703", but get the following error.
"We can't install some updates because other updates are in progress........"

I have googled the error and tried a few suggested fixes, but "no joy"

Other than the two issues, the PC seems to run fine.

Any thoughts, suggestions.

Too few, too far apart.
Splitting of this batch is soon over, and I will shut down again.
I crunch them almost as fast as I can get them.
Got around 25 AP's this run. Could be a couple more before it's over.

Edit: 28 now.

GUPPI Rescheduler for Linux and Windows - Move GUPPI work to CPU and non-GUPPI to GPU

If I understand you correctly Grant, that is for Guppi units, what about non-Guppi units, such as AP's for instance?

P.

Don't think anyone's bothered to make a rescheduler for those.

I too at first worried about the constant writes to my SSDs. I too saw and read that article about tested life expectancy of consumer SSD and then never worried about it again. I will replace any SSD just because of newer technology or more capacity needed before any of my current SSDs die. My first SSD used on BOINC accumulated 570 GB of writes. It didn't die in the Tech Report tests until it hit the PB range. One of my current SSD used for BOINC has accumulated only 23 GB of writes so far after 3 years.

I guess you mean TB not GB.
Mine has 21 TB written in 15 month but should be able to handle 70 TB.

I'm surprised the MB manufacturers haven't made USB PCI ports and 7 card daughter boards w/power distribution for this purpose. or even a muti-lane cable.

I'm sure they would sell if purpose built in a clean package.

I'm curious as to the "all_projects" value you keep keep mentioning. Is meant to refer to the all_apps value I said I would like if it existed?

I'm thinking he wanted to limit the total from all the different projects that would be running at any time on his computer. Such a command doesn't exist if I understand this correct. I could be wrong. If such a command existed, I would think it would have to be higher up in the folders than the project folder. That is why I speculated that it would probably be needed to be in the cc_config.xml as all projects read that file. But as to how it would determine which projects ran how many??? I don't know. I think the project_max_concurrent makes more sense ( as you suggested) as you can tailor it to the number for each project and from there figure out which you want to run.

I do think it would be nice to be able to define some other parameters, such as GPU/CPU usage, for all apps in a project at once.

This statement confused me as you already can define preferences for GPU to CPU ratio in the app_config.xml. Note, I said preference as system will use what it needs based on the application. So it may use more if it determines that is what is needed. Were you meaning something else???

<app_config>
	<app>
		<name>setiathome_v8</name>
		<gpu_versions>
			<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
			<cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage>
		</gpu_versions>
	</app>
	<app>
		<name>setiathome_v9</name>
		<gpu_versions>
			<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
			<cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage>
		</gpu_versions>
	</app>
<app_config>

<app_config>
	<app>
		<name>all_apps</name>
		<gpu_versions>
			<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
			<cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage>
		</gpu_versions>
	</app>
<app_config>

To get the GPU detection working when launching the client from command line it is necessary to use the proper file name of the client "boinc.exe", including path if not in current directory.

I didn't bother to check but the file name you use on the command line is probably copied to argv[0] as is and argv[0] is then copied to CreateProcess() as is. CreateProcess() wants the real file name, not something the shell might accept.

What file are max_project_concurrent and max_concurrent located in? I assume I have to find a "project." Under World Community Grid each one of the different sub-projects has its own project name. I am not sure how/where to put the above.

I don't see any doc for them when I tried to google them.

Thank you,
Tom

You would place those in app_config.xml in each project folder. Which is why I said, I don't think an "all_projects" would work in an app_config as those are limited to the specific project. In order for all projects to accept a command, they would think it need to be in the cc_config.xml. However, I've never tried such a command in the cc_config so I can't say for sure it would or would not work.

As for the max_concurrent and project _max_concurrent (sorry I reversed it in my original post)the exact position within the app_config.xml varies depending on which one you use.

project_max_concurrent is place in the second to last line of the app_config just before </app_config>

  
</app_version>
<project_max_concurrent>4</project_max_concurrent>
</app_config>

max_concurrent is place within the body of the app_confix just after the plan class example below

    
<app_name>setiathome_v8</app_name>
    <plan_class>opencl_nvidia_SoG</plan_class>
    <avg_ncpus>1</avg_ncpus>
    <ngpus>0.5</ngpus>
<max_concurrent>2</max_concurrent>

I can say that I haven't used the max_concurrent in a while as I use the project_max_concurrent. The only time I used to use the max_concurrent is when projects had more than 1 type of work unit, example Einstein or GPUGrid.

<app_config>
	<app>
		<name>all_apps</name>
		<max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent>
		<gpu_versions>
			<gpu_usage>1.0</gpu_usage>
			<cpu_usage>1.0</cpu_usage>
		</gpu_versions>
	</app>
<app_config>

I think the largest memory requirements I have seen were for the Lattice project. Task memory usage can be as high as ~7.5GB per task.
That meant that with only 128GB of ram I could run ~16 at once on my 16c/32t system without thrashing the swap file. So I restricted the project to only 8 tasks at once.
I think the next largest, at least for my 18 projects, is Climate Prediction. Tasks memory usage runs between 500-700MB per task.

Hal.
Thank you for the memory requirements information.

Where/How do you do that kind of limiting? (Restricting the number of tasks from the same project) World Community Grid sometimes likes to "hog" my entire cpu. Even with 6c/12t. I expect when I get up to 12c/24t it will be the same. So does Rosetta.

I need an example listing for the how to. I'm not good at translating abstracts....

Thank you.

Note: the <name> tag is hard-patched by me in boinc.exe (was "ATI unknown")

That information is pulled from the CAL and it, along with the OpenCL info are stored in memory and also Boinc's paper brain the client_state.xml file. Unfortunately, when AMD said they were going with OpenCl instead of CAL, the Boinc developers gave up on keeping the CAL updated. But from reading the AMD APP SDK 3.0 documentation, I suspect that the OpenCL still makes some use of the CAL code, otherwise there would be no reason for AMD to keep including the CAL files part of the latest drivers.

Data directory: D:\Boinc.6.12.43
Data directory: D:\Boinc.7.0.42
...
Data directory: D:\Boinc.7.6.33

How did you made every BOINC version to use different BOINC Data directory?
Did you edit the Registry?

Or boinc.exe is in the BOINC Data directory? i.e. :
boinc.exe v6.12.43 is in D:\Boinc.6.12.43
boinc.exe v7.6.33 is in D:\Boinc.7.6.33

And Registry do not have any BOINC info?

I will see if I can dig up the correct part number for that cooler, I know that I had bid on one on Ebay, so I should be able to find it in my emails. I will post back if I can locate it.

I think it is "HP Z600 Z800 Processor Heatsink & Fan Assembly 463991-001 for extreme CPUs" which for this listing is $195 plus s/h.

I may have found one as low as $150. The crucial issue appears to be the regular version is: 463990-001 And I got real excited at sub-$50 prices until I FINALLY noticed that tiny part# difference.

Given that it would take $300 for the coolers, assuming the trick works, and I can get an i7-3770@4.2Ghz via a Dell 7010 for about $250 (although it only has 4 cores w/HT) it becomes a stalling point. If I can't get an after market cooler that is successful (plus as of the moment, the theory that this works is un-proven) I probably have stalled and will go with that X5675 solution ($100 for two used cpus).

Just gotta wait for the cpu cooler on order to get delivered.

I did find 24GB of Z600 memory for $50 and decided that it was a reasonable price given I am uncertain how much memory the non-Seti tasks could take up with 24 threads.... Once its here I can sell 6GB of Z600 memory that came with it.
-------
I am getting mixed messages on the cpu cooler delivery. One says now deliver on Monday. The other says sending to USPS. So I guess I will check the regular mail on Saturday.

Tom

And back on topic:

I can't find (there is no) coproc_info on my computer (in fact no file with coproc in the name)
BOINC 6.10.58 is running now on:
https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=4832843

So, you wanna say that usual setup with BOINC manager involved doesn't create tht file? This would fully explain my results indeed, but why such design decision???

Thanks for detailed instruction.
I did just the same (but used relative path ..\BOINCdata to get to data directory ).
But encountered those issues i described in the first post.
Will try to reproduce yours exactly.

And how you handle same tasks cranching on "online" and "offline" hosts? Or "online" BOINc setup used only for fetching in this case (I tried to duplicte working BOINc from netbook so it had some duplicated tasks in cache after duplication).

DNS issues can sometimes take a while to sort.
A can't resolve host name error is not coming from the Seti servers.
Somebody forget to renew a domain?

I am getting 'can't resolve host name'......................

dirk posted something about that in the Radeon Software Crimson thread.

in an ideal world, one should be able to both mb/ap apps as well as multiple work units/gpu without producing invalids. the last time i was able to run multiple wu(s)/gpu without producing invalids was driver 14.4, but that driver is not as fast as the newer drivers. 14.4 works with my 290x/295x2 but not my 390x/radeon pro duo. i had similar problems on einstein as well.

so now i'm using a driver from this year but i only run one wu per gpu and i don't run ap at all. but i only speak of my own cards; cards less expensive than mine(like the 280x) don't have the same problem. and i don't have anything new like a rx480 so i can't speak to that either.

It just turned midnight, so it is officially June 20th. I can now join the 18 year club.

SETI@home	Requesting new tasks for CPU

Hal,

Why an i5 instead of an i7?

Tom
As I was specing the system for dedicated SETI@home use. Mostly cost and efficiency.
I would rather put the $110 difference in cost between the CPUs towards a 3rd GPU for a dedicated system.

Hal,
That leads to the question of does the proposed motherboard have "space" for a third GPU or do we get into "risers" and/or taking it out of its case?

This is fascinating thank you for the conversation.

Tom

Are there any other lower cost alternative cpu's that produce similar results?
----------
There was a flood of E5-2670's to the 2nd hand market. As many data centers upgraded to the latest versions. So supply and demand are really the factors for pricing.
Once the E5-2600 v2 CPUs drop to a reasonable amount I'll pick up some to upgrade my current boards with v1 CPUs, but I don't expect that to happen soon.

I just saw some E5-2670's for $46 and some E5-2600's for $130-$150. I could not tell at the level I was looking if they were V2 or not.

Hmmmm.....

Tom

If I wanted to build a system dedicated to running SETI@home today. I would go for:
i5-7400 CPU
H270 motherboard
two GTX 1060 3GB's
650w 80Plus Platinum PSU

Hal,

Why an i5 instead of an i7?

Tom

i5-7400 CPU
H270 motherboard
two GTX 1060 3GB's
650w 80Plus Platinum PSU

Even with Petrie's special, total draw of that system would be around 350W (65+120+120+ rest of system) (SSD for boot/storage & 16GB RAM).
For that system i'd go with a 500W (brand name) PSU- 45%-55% load is roughly the sweet spot for a switch mode PSU maximum efficiency (that band is wider the higher the rating of the PSU- Bronze, Gold, Platinum etc) (The lower the load the less efficient, the closer to it's maximum rating the more likely problems are, so 65-75% of it's maximum rating is a good compromise).

The prices for dual E5-2670's are going up. months ago the CPUs were going for ~$50 and today are around $100
In October I bought a bundle with Intel S2600CP2J MB, 2 E5-2670's, & 128GB PC3-12800R for $470. Then a 2nd one a few weeks later.
Now that vendor has the same config for $626.

I did considering a LCS setup but air cooling with a pair of Noctura NH-U12DXi4's is working fine for me

Thank you for helping me return this thread to the topic in the title!

Tom

For those that are interested, Tom's Hardware posted an article looking at the new Mesh architecture Intel are using for their high core count/multi socket CPUs to replace their long standing Ring Bus architecture.

... on the Broadwell LCC (Low Core Count) die... for instance, moving data from one core to its closest neighbor requires one cycle. Moving data to more distant cores requires more cycles, thus increasing the latency associated with data transit. It can take up to 12 cycles to reach the most distant core...
The larger HCC (High Core Count) die exposes one of the problems with this approach. To increase the cores and cache, the HCC die employs dual ring buses. Communication between the two rings has to flow through a buffered switch (seen between the two rings at the top and bottom). Traversing the switch imposes a five-cycle penalty, and that is before the data has to continue through more hops to its destination.

So now I can see why, even though Seti work itself doesn't benefit from huge amounts of memory bandwidth, Kiska's runtimes were so high with the original setup of both DIMMs on the one CPU socket.
Intel mesh architecture.

For GPUs you will find this nice GPU Chart

For CPUs, basically pay attention to the TDP for their heating effect.

Thank you for pointing me to that spiffy chart.

Now I wonder if we can come up with an approximation of the same information for cpu's....

Tom

As far as I know, it's 100 for each CPU (regardless as to how many cores it has) and 100 for each GPU in the computer. I know it wasn't supposed to be that way, it was supposed to be even more restrictive but regardless, that is what we have today.

The app_config and cc_config don't have anything to do with that, it's something from the server end

OK. So I am currently processing 4 X WUs and I X Graphics...a total of 5 WU been processed. Each WU is around 3 hours long.
While I had the Lunatic installed I had one almost 12 hour WU been processed. Is this in fact what the Optimized app does....?

SETI@home v8 (anonymous platform, CPU)
Number of tasks completed	3
Max tasks per day		36
Number of tasks today		0
Consecutive valid tasks		3
Average processing rate		17.65 GFLOPS
Average turnaround time		0.37 days

It's been awhile, but have been playing with the command line parameters and watching their effects. Finally figured out why Boinc went from reporting 8192MB of memory on the card to 7536MB back on April 19th. It was due to a bios setting involving the iGPU on the motherboard. Even though I have the iGPU disabled, you still have to set where shared memory is set. Choices are above 4gb or below 4gb. Setting it to above 4gb, Boinc and Opencl report 7536MB of memory on the card. Setting to below 4gb, Boinc and Opencl report 8192MB of memory on the card.

Update: with 2 channels occupied, preliminary results are around about 9k seconds per task with 26 tasks running at once

I ended up grabbing 49. There's still a few channels left to split, so I may pick up one or two more.

This was a good run.

I I understand correctly, the scheduler use to take the priority of (AP or Seti) then fill the remainder with "other" if the request could filled - It hasn't done that for a very long time now. I believe this dates back to the problems in the scheduler when AMD v8.23? was released and failed.

What does the d stand for? Is it days hours and minutes when it is AP?
They are big WUs!!!

So another update: I have installed PCM - Processor Counter Monitor
And in there I can see memory bandwidth utilisation
And wow is my memory getting hammered!
18GB/s on single channel DDR3-1333(PC3-10600R) memory, and because my motherboard does weird things with memory, if I only populate 1 slot of a channel it halves the memory bandwidth!

That is my argument for using the preferences on Seti/Boinc website (or locally in the Boinc manager) to reduce the number of cpu's you are trying to use. It will reduce the memory contention until you are able to add to memory. And I think it will increase productivity. If the test goal were to reduce to processing to say four (4) cores you would set the amount of cpu to: (4/36 actual cores) = 11%

It is also very possible the paging file on your hard disk is being hit on a fulltime basis (which slows life down). The best fix for that is more memory :) But there are two free things you can do that MIGHT help. 1) Set your paging file minimum and maximum's to whatever the current recommendation is by windows (re-visit it every time you add memory). Reboot as required. 2) Download a free version of "DeFragler" from Piriform. Under Settings -> Boot time defrag -> do once. What this will do is defrag your paging file so that it has the fastest possible access. This might help your memory contention issue some, and it will help system "responsiveness". It does take time, so don't freak out if it takes 5 minutes+ to defrag the paging file (that is why I only do it "once").

The above trick will help, for instance, a PC/Laptop/Netbook that is pausing but otherwise has sufficient memory. It gets less "laggy".

HTH,
Tom

Its not hitting my paging file at all, I'll grab a snippet of what is happening from pcm:

That is it running 27 CPU tasks + 1 GPU. SO what is happening is that the app is waiting for data from memory, and it waits and waits, but it still uses 100% of the thread until it has that data
Say I reduce it to 4 CPU tasks and each of them run for 1.5 hrs and leaving them at 27 tasks and each of them run for 5 hrs for example. This PC would be more productive in doing 27 tasks in a 5 hr period than 12-14 tasks in the same 5 hr period when I reduce it

Is there a way to fix this?

If Rosetta is your backup project then the best method would be to set it's Resource share to 0. That way it will only run when you are out of Seti work.

Some one that knows about these things will be along, but I'm fairly sure that resource share used to be based on time spent crunching. Then it was changed to be based on Credit (or estimated credit- something along those lines), so with different projects granting different amounts of credit, and the larger your cache, and the large difference in deadlines, the less BOINC appears to honour your resource share settings over the short term.

Another update, with 1 module in either socket, the runtime has reduced from ~10 hrs to ~5 hrs using the AVX app

Or stick a GTX 1050 Ti in it to make it worthwhile. ;-)

Cheers.

OK....Just had a look at the price of that.....can you suggest anything a bit cheaper.....
I notice my Dell is not showing any graphic activity on my account...I thought it would have had some thing.....
Thanks for your help guys....

That is all it needs.

So should I lower those totals down on my computers? As in considerably....?
Thank you for your reply.

So I have almost finished building my system, need to get more RAM to fill the 16 slots I have, and more hard drives + SSD, so what is the expected runtime of each task?
Here is my PC
I have run a few units, but I need a baseline from someone else to compare.
Is having only 2 of 16 slots filled for RAM hampering apps currently

Speculation is pointless, I have a good reason to do this and SETI@Home serves the purpose. I may do more, as this is only a few racks in one row of several in my data center. It's only temporary, will end when it ends. Enjoy the fireworks.

I will say that I am not interested in competing against anyone. I just happen to like SETI@Home, even though I know the odds of it finding what it is looking for are infinitesimal.

Oh don't get me wrong I'm in this for science and am more than happy you've dedicated your machines to the search.

I'm just a little envious of your data center compared to my small farm. Unfortunately I'm constrained by available space, power and finances.

...and just like that, I have turned it off. Oh, well. It was fun while it lasted. But like Arnold said, "I'll be back." :)

The site came back up early Sunday, however, I haven't heard anything from nVidia in a week. Nothing since them asking for instructions on the Benchmark App. They released CUDA driver 8.0.83 but it doesn't work any better on my machine. So, I'll just stay at 10.12.4 with the Maxwell drivers for now, they seem to be working very well with both the 7.5 and 8.0 Special App. The 7.5 Special App works well on my machine in Yosemite with the 7.5.30 driver and in El Capitan with 8.0.71. I might be at 10.12.4, 367.15.10.45f01, and 8.0.71 for a while.

This cone of silence tends to descend prior to a new architecture coming, so with Volta V100 existing (supposedly) then the Driver and Cuda team may be sequestered (prevents leaks). Once the large die has support, I suspect the pattern of opening up new Cuda version + Drivers may happen suddenly/quickly, though the addition of Deep learning and the new Tensor processors may see a different timeframe than the last few generations. We'll see.

I have an old (Gen-1) Core I7. My tests on it indicate HT gives about a 20% boost in overall throughput.
However I do not like to "starve" my GPU so I run with the CPU "opposite" it idle. (I.E. GPU WU feeder runs on cpu 0 and cpu 1 is idle).

The last time I read it the PCIe spec also included a x32 slot. Probably meant for riser cards. It seems like for GPGPU use, probably in server situations, hardware for such a lot could be developed.

One thing to keep in mind is that not of those PCIe will be available for GPUs. From one article I read:
The Ryzen processors will allow for a mammoth amount of PCIe lanes which amount to 64. There’s 48 PCIe lanes entirely dedicated to the graphics cards whereas Intel’s X299 features a total of 44 PCIe lanes and less than that would be dedicated to the graphics cards.
From that I would expect the Ryzen Threadripper to probably be setup for 16/16/16 or 16/16/8/8.

Thanks for the insight Hal, that raises one more question for me then. Do the current crop of 'latest and greatest' cards (thinking maybe the GTX1080Ti for example) actually _use_ that full bandwidth that an x16 slot provides? If so, would it mostly be in a gaming situation, or would our crunching also put that kind of strain on the system bus as well? I thought I remembered asking something similar a couple years ago when maybe it was the 900 series cards being released and the consensus was not really, but the bus hasn't gotten any faster, yet I'd think that the demands put on it by ever higher performance cards would be getting greater. Though, I would also have to think that if we were really honestly getting close to the edge, they would be announcing maybe PCIeX or something, because I'd believe they would be very sensitive to having their expensive hardware throttled by the system bus and would be pushing to keep it well ahead of current technologies capabilities?

. . However, it must be good for contributors like this new guy Juan Jimenez https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=93982. Bringing nearly 7000 CPU cores (yep that's the right number of zeroes) to the project he must feel delighted about the current guppi deluge :) Stephen :(

New? Says he's been around since 1999?
I'm pretty impressed with the 225 PCs he's running; wonder which Uni or Corp is footing the bill for that? As far as CPU count, that I'm a bit less impressed with. Not getting that much RAC per box.
You can tell BOINC how many CPUs you want it to emulate; doesn't mean they're really there. And that can be a valid thing to do; I do it on my X5675 boxes to max out the usage on those Xeons.
But at least in my experience, the most that gain you anything is actual cores (*2 for hyper-threading) - 1 per GPU. And there's a lot of debate as to whether hyper-threading really gains you anything at all. There's a few boxes where it looks as though he's way, way beyond that.

Wiggo, We found you a new heater for the 'shed' :D
Although your solar array may need a tad of an upgrade!

I like to be warm, but not cooked. :-O

Cheers.

I've got a couple of Ryzen 1700's running such as this one running Linux. My current quandary is if I should replace the 1700's with 1700x or not. Apart from the initial cost of buying another CPU there is an extra 30 watts for the 1700x for about a 10 to 12% gain in productivity.

I did some experiments with the Einstein gravity wave tuning run on them. Running 16 at a time average run time was 33,000 to 37,000 seconds, when I limit it to 8 via an app_config they came in at 20,000 seconds. The app was their AVX and it got the Lo work units.

My current experiment is to see if leaving a single thread free improves performance or not. I'm running a single GPU with the Seti CUDA80 app so it can make use of the available thread but certainly doesn't need its own as it sleeps a fair bit (according to top).

I run lunatics apps on my other two systems, but the laptop has an intel gpu (no gpu app as far as i know) so I only run cpu apps on that.

Values beyond 2048 didn't really increase the about of dedicated memory usage displayed in GPUz or have an effect on run time.
From my notes: SBS values and GPUz dedicated mem usage.
-sbs 64, 311MB
-sbs 256, 382MB
-sbs 512, 760MB
-sbs 1024, 1290MB
-sbs 1536, 2320MB
-sbs 2048, 3346MB
-sbs 2560, 3350MB
-sbs 3072, 3375MB
-sbs 3584, 3370MB

I gave 3072 a try, but likewise didn't find any improvement in run times.
I suspect it's not just the amount of memory, but how it's divisible by all the other configured values (eg -spike_fft_thresh 4096 -tune 1 64 1 4 -oclfft_tune_gr 256 -oclfft_tune_lr 16 -oclfft_tune_wg 256 -oclfft_tune_ls 512 -oclfft_tune_bn 64 -oclfft_tune_cw 64 etc) if they don't fit evenly in the memory allocated, then you don't get any benefit from using that extra memory.

And those AMD benchmarks very nicely trounce the best of Intel. Also interesting there for the use of Ubuntu 16.10 (Linux) to make the best use of all that performance.

Yeah, comparing the latest AMD hardware to older Intel hardware that also has less RAM than the AMD system is a really great way to compare performance...

So...

What current Intel hardware would you compare against and at what price?

(And which Intel hardware can accept 512GB of DDR4 memory?)


Happy fast crunchin',
Martin

In my testing using a values for sbs higher than 2048 did not seem to be of any benefit. YMMV

Did it allocate those higher values?

When I tried higher values, everything just ends up as "Waiting to run"

If I understand this printout correctly, Fftlength=8192 gives the best processing speed, but having 8GB of VRAM means only 4096 would be possible (or maybe 6144) and still better than my present 2048. If only it were possible.

Many years ago (early BOINC days) someone here did make a video or animated gif of the old Seti Classic screensaver, but that's the only details that I can remember.

Maybe some inspired person could make another 1 up.

Cheers.

While Intel might release a chip with similar cores, it's the number of PCIe lanes that really make this chip something to look at.....

As Jayztwocents states, intel is cutting back on the number of PCIe lanes on lower models and from what I have seen increased it by 4 on the higher end ones..

From the reviews on the Threadripper, it has 64 PCIe lanes...That means true x16 for 4 GPUs....(as long as you don't use anything else in those lanes)..Not a big deal where but at Einstein and other projects where the apps haven't been heavily modified, that would go a long ways to improving throughput..

I've always wondered why they set that arbitrary limit, and would have expected them to have gone to 64 a long time ago, as it is a multiple of the 16 lanes that was specified when they created the PCIe spec years ago. Never understood their reasoning, anyone have any 'out in the weeds' insight to this? There's a lot of smart people here, I figured it wouldn't hurt to at least ask.

From my experience with the AMD driver over the last two months, and I have no idea if the same is true for the NVidia driver, the command line options -high_perf and the ratio between -period_iterartions and -tts, would often cause the video driver to reset. This doesn't trash the task, just sends it into LaLa land forcing me to do a system restart. So experimenting with these options and/or the overclocking settings (you don't have to try increasing in large steps, just try small increments of like 5MHz) would be a good situation where you would want to have Boinc getting tasks one at a time, and once you get to a stable maximum, then go back to your original cache settings.

As for the longer times when running two tasks at a time, I don't know how the -sbs setting affects the cuda app, but the NVidia opencl app appears produce the same result information as on an AMD, and here I know how the -sbs increase affects a task. Watch for the following lines in the result file for an opencl task:

OpenCL-kernels filename : MultiBeam_Kernels_r3584.cl
ar=0.446582 NumCfft=191633 NumGauss=1059283078 NumPulse=226323398120 NumTriplet=452717731126
Currently allocated 1573 MB for GPU buffers

At first I thought those buffers were on the CPU, but after communication with Rastimer, they are in the GPU's opencl memory. Now both NVidia and AMD limit the amount of opencl memory on their cards. So even though my GPU has 8192MB of memory, it only has 3072MB of opencl memory. For Rastimer's Seti stock app (r3584.cl) a -sbs 1476 setting produces the 1573MB of buffers which is fine for one task at a time. However, 1573*2 (tasks) = 3146MB which exceeds the opencl limit of 3072MB, so the GPU has to do a lot of swapping causing increased runtimes. Rastimer's Lunactics Seti app (r3557.cl) allows you to use an even higher -sbs setting.

That is a very interesting script output, Hal. Did you cobble that together yourself..... or is there a utility that I am not aware of?

Thread has gone cold. Is anybody else having issues getting work? I have had nothing but "no work is available" across all systems for the entire afternoon, and now into evening. All I get is 1 task every 30 minutes or so on all systems. Do we have stuck splitters again?

Press any key to continue . . .

The abandoned tasks look like the ones your had on your system before switching to the optimized apps. That is something that can happen if your haven't run down your cache before switching.
The Stderr output will be empty because your computer didn't do any processing for those tasks. Note the Run time of 0.0 seconds.

If you look at your list of valid and pending tasks you will see those with the application of "Anonymous platform (CPU)" which are completing successfully.

Ok, so I am ignorant! :( Yes, I got impatient and right after a project reset / remove / re-install to try to get SOG processing I switched to Lunatics so I could force the SOG. And take advantage of the AXV.

Ok, its back to AXV again.

Thank you for clearing that up.

While Intel might release a chip with similar cores, it's the number of PCIe lanes that really make this chip something to look at.....

As Jayztwocents states, intel is cutting back on the number of PCIe lanes on lower models and from what I have seen increased it by 4 on the higher end ones..

From the reviews on the Threadripper, it has 64 PCIe lanes...That means true x16 for 4 GPUs....(as long as you don't use anything else in those lanes)..Not a big deal where but at Einstein and other projects where the apps haven't been heavily modified, that would go a long ways to improving throughput..

I was going to tell him to go with the 6GB 1060 but I don't own either so take that for what it's worth, lol...

I've spoken with several people here who also run 1060's about the memory size difference and unless you're gaming with them you'll see no difference with them here (it maybe different with other projects though), in fact most of those with the 6GB versions now wish that they'd with the cheaper option. ;-)

Cheers.

I still had a 4 as the first digit of my age :-)

lol I had a 3 as mine, but I am not complaining, it's certainly better than not having any more numbers changing!

My 18th will not come until August. I had a 5 as the first digit of my age.

Still crunching!

Oh AMD Marketing, how often I face palm at your idiocy. First confusing everyone over the core count of the Bulldozer family. And now the wacky naming conventions , "Infinity Fabric", "Threadripper", "Epyc". Someone please stop them.

How do you pull up the entire list? When I click it I get the host he referenced, but didn't see a way to show the entire list of hosts. Thanks!

Do you mean the top host list, https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/top_hosts.php?

[edit] Currently that rig is in 79th spot. ;-)

Cheers.

Also, if you wish to check by total credit instead of by RAC, when on the next 20 page change the "expavg" part of the url to "total". ;-)

From a performance standpoint the AMD card should just be faster yet the Intel units are completing about 3 times faster?

Nine days late is better than never. :^) This project certainly keeps me busy.

Hi, R7 250X is a simple rebranding name of the older HD7770 graphic card ;)

if you're going to jam five radiators in most cases you're going to have hoses in three different directions along with the clashing airflow just to have that one display window

with an x9 you can put everything up top and do whatever you want with the front or the bottom

One thing that I've been wondering is how I can obtain additional tasks. I've noticed that many of the top hosts have hundreds or thousands more "In Progress" tasks than I can ever seem to get (I max out at 500 tasks). Is there some type of trick I'm missing? I'll run out of all tasks; gpu and cpu within hours of the Tuesday maintenance windows.

There's one approach to the problem with the Tuesday outages draining work buffers that I don't think has really been discussed much. That's simply to make use of a dual-boot setup, with what is essentially two hosts sharing the same hardware. When the primary host runs dry (or gets close to it), just boot over to the other one and, assuming a sufficient work buffer was in place before the outage, keep on crunching. The credits and RAC obviously get assigned to the second host, but more S@h work gets squeezed out of the same physical box.

Last Tuesday was the first outage where I was running Linux and a Special App on one of my boxes, and the first one where I ran through nearly all 400 of its GPU tasks. When it got near the end, I just switched back to Windows for the remaining hours, since I had maintained a limited work buffer there. I expect to do the same tomorrow, with two boxes this time.

I imagine such an approach could also work with a VM setup, but I have no experience in that arena.

Tnx :-) I'm not worried about it, as in all cases at least one wingman has returned the same result. There are not many of them...I usually have about 10 that come and go, it is just that they've doubled in the last couple of days.

Sorry guys. It is not the machine ID 6683283, i5-750 with the Visiontek 4870, it is the machine ID 7785479, the one with the 7870 and the R9-380. It has the specs of my signature i7-6700K etc......

I can give that configuration a try and see if I get the same weirdness.

See that they are using Seagate Red 5TB drives.

I thought it was only the WD NAS drives that had those colour codes... I would think they would use WDs as well as Seagates aren't as reliable.

They also advise to block ports 16992 and 169923, if you don't use the function, as these are used to reach the AMT services.

Just curious, are these ports open by default, or do they have to be configured to be open on your system?

And, Ruh Roh...

Slightly OT to the orig question, but just took a look at EVGA's site on the 1080Ti's, and noticed that they have a number of varieties, 2 of which look interesting to me. One is the http://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=11G-P4-6696-KR and the other is the http://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=11G-P4-6696-KR and the main difference that I could tell looking on the main 1080Ti page was one had Gaming in it's name and the other had Elite. Anyone know what the difference might be? It does say Elite Member exclusive, so it's just a prestige thing? Sheesh.

A strange anomaly has appeared, BOINC is now reporting this:

For some reason, I have lost 656MB. Upgraded driver from 17.4.1 to 17.4.3. but the OpenCL driver version is the same in both.

Hello. I am trying to figure out, where to put all those parameters. boinc, boinccmd and boincmgr does not accept those parameters.
Also, is this for windows or linux?

Trying to use my RX 480 on ubuntu linux (opencl is working also), the log says "Requesting new tasks for CPU and AMD/ATI GPU", but i only get cpu tasks.

Command line switches can be used either in app_info.xml or mb_cmdline.txt.
Params in mb_cmdline*.txt will override switches in <cmdline> tag of app_info.xml.

Unofficial Windows 7/8.1 update workaround posted to GitHub

GitHub user Zeffy has created a patch that removes a limitation that Microsoft imposed on users of 7th generation processors, a limit that prevents users from receiving Windows updates if they still use Windows 7 and 8.1.

This limitation was delivered through Windows Update KB4012218 (March 2017 Patch Tuesday) and has made many owners of Intel Kaby Lake and AMD Bristol Ridge CPUs very angry last week, as they weren't able to install any Windows updates.

There is a link to the GitHub scripts in the article. Use at own risk. :^)

Caveat:

"The only downside of these solutions is you have to apply a new patch whenever wuaueng.dll gets updated," says Zeffy in his GitHub repo README. Fortunately, the entire task doesn't take long to complete.

You can always manually download updates from http://catalog.update.microsoft.com

To my knowledge to be able to download updates manually you have to know the update number starting with KB

Hey, i am running this host on Beta:

https://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=82307

Now watch this under Windows 10...unbelievable...

https://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=81991

Never noticed this before, I'll never crunch under windows again...

Greetings.

Can be closed must have been a database error, i am clueless !?

You can always manually download updates from http://catalog.update.microsoft.com

In the case of the Kaby Lake and Ryzen CPUs also not, because these files are *.msu files, which are blocked. As I read elsewhere, it may be possible to manually add *.cab files via DISM, but that is very circuitous.

Ok, thanks Brent, I'll give your thread a read thru, and hopefully in the next week or so get it together. I'll post questions if I come into any difficulties. Oh, one question, I really didn't like the Unity interface, and just read on Wiki that last week Canonical said that with release 18.04 they are dumping it, so is one version you mentioned have a less unity looking interface than the other? I know some distros really try to give the Windoze interface experience, Zorin is one that comes to mind if you've possibly heard of it. Well, now to find a little time to put it together and give it a test.

Just use Mint instead of Ubuntu. Mint has the Cinnamon desktop which is more "Windows style".

I`m very happy we have Chip.de which provides a package of important updates for win 7 every once in a while.

Circumsised GTX 1080s Part of an interesting discussion on the limitation of the number of GPUs a system can handle.

Interesting, I have my Dual Xeon system with 7 or 8 GPU's installed in it, running on PCI-E-USB adapters, and couldn't get the system to recognize more than I believe either 5 or 6 video cards. The frustrating thing is, it has 10 8x PCI-E slots, and my original plan was to try and run 10 cards. Something about not enough memory space or something with the motherboard, to which I called BS because it is designed with 10 slots, they should all be able to be filled and work. But, after talking with the support engineer at Supermicro, they came to the conclusion that there was nothing they could to to make it work. Wasn't happy, that was an expensive board/CPU combo, which left a lot of performance on the table unutilized.

If one looks, there are still brand new copies of Win 7 Pro x64 floating around on ebay.

OK, so I did a little research on dual channel RAM and it seems that one way to get a viable 24 GB solution would be:

2 of these: (2 x 8 GB)
https://playit.de/crucial-ballistix-sport-lt-udimm-8gb-ddr4-2400-cl16.html

and this dual channel kit (2 x 4 GB):
https://www.cyberport.at/form/?DEEP=2410-16U&APID=294&STOREID=7

If installed correctly (12 GB in one channel and 12 GB in the other), this should give full speed across all of the 24 GB, right?

The math would work out as 16 Gb in one channel and 8Gb in the other channel. Still it is never a good idea to mix memory capacities. All the same type in either one channel, dual channel or quad channel. Since Kaby Lake is dual channel only, either go with two sticks or 4 sticks of the same memory density. That means 2 X 16 GB sticks or 4 x 8 GB sitcks for 32 GB total. Or just go for a total of 16GB. I have never been able to figure out just why anyone needs 32 GB of memory unless it is a server class machine and that would be on the low end of memory. I have no familiarity with any typical desktop or productivity applications that use that much memory. BOINC normally uses less than 2 GB of memory. I believe the recommended minimum for Windows is 4 GB and at least 8 GB preferred. 16 GB seems to be the common capacity for Windows of any modern flavor.

. . Sorry but that is not the way I understand it (see diagram). Same all round is fine, but his way works AOK. In my Core2 Duo I have 2 x 2Gb and 2 x 1GB and running just fine thank you very much. The most critical consideration is that each bank has totally coherent ram, same size, same speed, same latency, preferably same manufacturer. But the next priority is to have the same speed and latency across all banks.

If he puts a 4Gb and 8GB stick in each channel there's no problem here. 12GB in each channel. I've seen people make the claim that it's not a good idea to mix different sticks in the same channel but I've never seen any evidence that this causes problems. Also even if he did it "wrong" and put the two 8GB sticks in the first channel slots and the two 4GB sticks in the second channel slot it would operate in flex mode and he would get dual channel for the first 8GB in each channel and then single channel speed for the final 8GB in the first channel.

3/31/2017 11:39:53 PM	SETI@home	Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks

Hi all,
Just realized that I have one instance of conhost.exe running for each task slot.
With 5 CPU tasks and 2 GPU tasks running, there are 7 instances of conhost.exe. Is this normal ?
I am running the stock apps :
setiathome_8.05_windows_x86_64.exe
setiathome_8.22_windows_intelx86_opencl_nvidia_SoG.exe

...Grete...

Use_sleep with a 1080?? I would drop that and use -hp instead. You have to remember that a 5% increase in GPU times will be more than your entire CPU can do for RAC.

EDIT: And I would update to r3584 as well.

1) I am running dual 8 core E5-2670s, so 32 threads. Considering the GPU threads, actually running 24 or 25 CPU threads on my 2 main crunchers, and they come close to ~1 GPU. Or at least not completely left in the dust like a desktop CPU would be.

2) As far as R3584 goes, I am loathe to do anything not in stock or Lunatics, since it is so easy to screw up the app_info.

3) use_sleep seems to work fine for me, as I mentioned above.

AP is dead and gone. Don't expect it to reurn in any big way, ever again.
Have you all forgotten the messages from DA, that this project is winding down?
Nebula is here to analyze the results we collected over the years, and then S@H as we know it will shut down.

There was rumor of running AP on the GBT data, but I don't know if that's going to end up happening. I haven't heard anything about it other than some that are in-the-know mentioning it kind of in-passing a while back.

I suspect new data from Arecibo is pretty much done and over though, but GBT seems like it's going to be around for a while. So.. there's no harm in going and checking all the Arecibo results since there's basically not going to be new results coming in anymore. That's my opinion.

According to IBM, Informix does have limits, so the question is: Has Seti reached those limits or will it ever reach those limits?

Informix limits

The project has NEVER promised to keep us fed with work, they have ALWAYS told us to have standby projects to fall back onto in the event of (extended) outages.

But it would be nice if it were possible to carry at least 24 hours of work, even 48. The option is there in the settings- it would be appreciated if it were possible.
Why not raise the server side limits, but restrict all users to a maximum of 2 days cache, leaving more work available to faster crunchers to see them through these outages, but still limiting the load on the database?

If there is no data available to crunch, then there's no work.
But If there is work available, but the project has issues, it would be nice to be able to continue processing it.

It has been said that there will (eventually) be way more work than the present user base can process in a reasonable time, and more crunchers are needed. But it doesn't matter how many crunchers there are, if they can't process the work. And even if the servers spend most of a week down, if in their uptime people are able to get enough work to tide them through to the next uptime, people will continue to crunch.

For sure, they might be work, but u have a lot of performance loss if u don't use the crimson drivers.

Try it under Win10.

I found the problem - I had gotten the BOINC installer from elsewhere than SETI - though it was the correct version (7.6.33), it was 32bit, rather than 64bit, and was incompatible with BoincTasks 1.69.

When I installed it, BT found all the Tasks, etc. that it couldn't find before.

So all seems cool, for now!

Checking out Tasks and Settings taking ages to respond again, and the Replica is falling behind as well.

. . When I select the project I just get stats for the project overall, nothing about my stats. ??

As the search did not generate satisfying results, I'm posting this question here:
At the moment, my machine is processing 2008 data and I've seen many times before that we're processing "old" data.
Question is: Is it really old data or are we reprocssing it. If so, for what specific reason (i.e. new algorithms etc.).

Would be very interested to broaden my knowledge.

Greetings,
Michael

Otherwise, all the data-driven web pages would continue to run slow.

That's been the case for most of the last month or 2 anyway...

Which one is the currently recommended optimized version for MB on Linux 64bit, http://lunatics.kwsn.info/index.php?action=downloads;cat=48 ?

Haven't done much SETI lately, but am right now trying to get an overview with which Intel CPUs my R7 @ 3.6GHz roughly compares with.

Thanks!

Seti is downloading a new executable ver. 8.05.
Does this mean we have to process 2008 *again*?
fk

Some things not looking too good right now:
1) Replica DB offline,
2) AP work present but splitters not running,
3) Assimilators are down (due to 1 above, perhaps?)

Hopefully it's someone doing late work rather than a growing failure ...

Looks like some new datasets have made their way in for splitting.

Just in time too I only have 599/600 MB tasks!

Braggart! LOL

@ Gabriel Siegel:

Not only what you have noticed, but there are many instances of the same CPU being listed in two places. I counted 126 of these. For example,

line 6 (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3] ) and
line 21 (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz [Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3] )

are the same CPU, but listed with slightly different specs (notice the "x86" in front of "Family").

I haven't found who/how to address such things since there is no contact info on the webpage.

. . I think that is the difference between users running a 32 bit OS versus a 64 bit OS. They identify differently, the lines with x86 in them are running 32 bit. Yet strangely they seem to outperform the same machines running on 64bit. All so counter-intuitive.

. . Also I think the strange values for number of cores is because some users run with hyperthreading off. So when you have 2,400 i7-6700K machines listed and 242 of them (not actual figures, just using them for example) are not running with HT and therefore reporting only 4 cores not 8, then the average will be an odd value like 7.52666. Sorry Hal but I don't think it is to do with the manager configuration to control the number of cores crunching. The benchmarks are run independently of that.

I have earned a 25% badge but I am not sure what it means. I am a member of a team. Does this mean I am among the top 25% in daily credit for the team or for the entire SETI project?

. . Go to your account page, click on "BOINCstats" or "BOINC Combined Statistics" and you will see lots of info about your "standing" amongst BOINC and SETI participants. But the short answer is option number 2, you are among the top 25% of all BOINC contributors. Don't puff your chest out too far though, most of the BOINC clients out there are either inactive or have tried it, didn't like it and then left. So top 25% sadly just translates to something like "you are one of the truly active BOINC members", but welcome to the club. :) About 70% of all listed hosts have a RAC below 10, so it's that top 30% or thereabouts that really matters :)

. . Have fun and keep crunching

Stephen

:)

When you have been in correspondence with Matt/Jeff or Eric have you discussed the lack of Astropulse work? If so is there been any answer as to when/if there will be a steady flow of work? I was thinking about emailing one of them and asking however I did not want to do this if you have already raised the question

My understanding on this is that AP splits much faster, provides fewer WUs than MB, and therefore.. gets processed and returned faster.... and we've basically run out of AP almost entirely, until some brand new tapes arrive. We keep redoing older tapes that never got done with MB's newest autocorr check, so that's why those are all being redone, but AP hasn't really changed since it began. So finding tapes we haven't done with AP is few and far between.

The secondary problem is that starting at some point in 2015 and basically all of 2016, something with the tapes appear to be broken, either at the recording end or the splitting end, because 99% of them are 100% blanked when it comes to AP.

There was mention last year that GBT would begin being processed with AP at some point in the future, but it seems like they need to sort some other gremlins out with the supply of tapes first.

On Monday day I can log into my PDU's and get a live reading. Im assuming roughly 4-500 for power

I just posted a video on my experience with the R7 1700 so far. It includes benchmarks with the FX8370, i73930K, and i7-6950X. I have included the AVX MB app in my benchmarks. https://youtu.be/YpEOmxG3zV4

I haven't found who/how to address such things since there is no contact info on the webpage.

I've been reading non-stop for the past couple of weeks about Ryzen forum builds and all the goings on. Everybody is concerned about the reported CPU temperatures that they are seeing. What I haven't seen is anyone pulling out a thermocouple or contactless IR temperature gun and shooting the chip socket or cooler to see what the real temps are. Rick, do you have a temp gun in your toolbox by chance and can get a temperature reading around the socket or back of the socket on the motherboard backside? I really think the readings that people are seeing in the BIOS or monitoring programs are flaky. A lot of people are commenting also that the temperature of the air coming through an air cooler or through a water radiator is only mildly warm. I can't see how a 65W or 95W chip can produce 90° C. temps. The thermal Tmax dissipation for Ryzen 7 is only 128W. It's not like these new chips are producing the kind of waste heat the 220W TDP FX-9570 did.

Got fed up with Amazon about no information on my motherboard order after 2 weeks and have tried to cancel the order. They can't figure out how because I ordered it in a bundle. Ordered the ASUS Prime X370 Pro from Newegg earlier as it was back in stock. Was $10 cheaper too. Hope I see it next week sometime so I can get started on my build. Don't now what I'm going to do for cooling yet since still no word on the AIO bracket. I might have to buy an air cooler to get the build up and running.

The Wiki says it was first supported in 7.0.40+ versions. There is only 7.4.42 available on the BOINC website above that cutoff level. I was on the level and had the problem even before updating to the latest recommended 7.6.33 version.

Note: Deselecting both MB & AP will set the selection to (all apps). Selecting MB or AP, saving, and then selecting the 2nd app will not set the selection to (all apps). ¯\_(º¿º)_/¯

Test 1 & Test 4 resulted in no work being sent. As we have little to no AP work and the Other apps function is still broken.
I never got a "project has no tasks" message for those two tests. Just the "No tasks sent" "No tasks are available for AstroPulse v7" messages.

. . To me it seems to be related to the "Other Apps" function breakdown in that the symptoms emerged about the same time. But since I did not myself use that setting I may be wrong and that malfunction may have occurred earlier.

Stephen

¯\_(º¿º)_/¯ {sorry for pilfering but I liked it :) and cannot make it myself}

It is a really odd issue. Since I wasn't having any issue I did some testing changing my settings all around and I was still not running into the issue.
I guess whatever the issue plaguing some users is there is another part related to it that I can not reproduce.

It may (or may not) be related to the BOINC manager version and/or whether or not you have an application for AP installed, or not.

Hmm my Linux machine is once again struggling to get work, all other machines have full caches.
Down to 27 GPU WU now, I sure hope I get some work soon.....

Change the application settings, then hit Update in the BOINC manager to get the change to take effect. On the next Scheduler contact work should start to flow. Maybe.
There are a few Arecibo VLARs about, so that will complicate getting GPU work more than it already is.

You don't need to change application settings in order to claim new wu. Just click on 'Update' or run
./boinccmd --project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ update
Open your 'Event log' display to check new wu are coming....

. . Bonjour Laurent,

. . Merci for your attempt to help but this is not a lack of knowledge of the process. Of late there is a problem that does not, thankfully, affect everyone, but is affecting quite a few users. Agreed that sometimes kicking it in the pants by pressing update will score you a few tasks but often each attempt to obtain new work either by automatic or manual updates results in a "No new tasks available" message and no work. It has been plagueing (that looks wrong however I spell it ) some users for a couple of months now and there seems to be no fix in sight, and sadly no feedback. I hope you are never affected by it.

Hello,
Just wanted to get it out there .
My personal goal is to reach 500,000 total credit by this year.
Should be easy. I'm currently at 4 Linux servers with plans for up to 16.

Eventually I want to reach 128 Linux servers (Virtual of course) running seti@home all day every day.

But yes - Let us continue our search

Thank You

Hello,
Not sure where to post this so I will leave it here.

I'm writing some software based around seti@home as a fun side project.
How can I grab from my account the Total Credit and Recent average credit ?

Let us say I write a webpage and I want it to grab this information to display on the webpage
Does seti@home provide this type of information grabbing ?

Thank You

Perhaps the effect is greater on much faster GPUs?

I'd say that's the case.
The faster the GPU crunches the work, the more support it needs from the CPU to keep it fed, and the greater the impact of any delays in the GPU sending & getting data.

[url]I have a suspicion that the sudden dearth of any motherboard for immediate purchase might be because the manufacturers have pulled all stock back from the distributors.[/url]

That is a pretty accurate interpretation of what I was told by my vendor yesterday (a major UK component distributor). The majority of the motherboard manufacturers had pulled stock, while for the others they were being faced with log-jammed phones to resolve BIOS issues.

Yes electrical instability is being touted as the main reason behind mobo shortages (several small independent review sites have now already flagged this issue).

Cheers.

Hi all,

I installed SoG version 3584 and have it running but the CPU utilisation seems really high with these tasks.
I'm currently running two at the same time on a GTX 770 and often they both chew up a CPU core each:
[img ]https://i.imgsafe.org/b68880cb88.png[/img]

Is this normal?

I'm not too sure just how they come up with some of the numbers (eg 3.93 average cores per computer?).
.

GenuineIntel
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz
(3 processors)

I'm looking for a pure GPU number, surely 20-25k includes the CPU, right? If not that would be an amazing RAC :)

Thanks!

Thanks, I have installed the SoG app but still see Cuda 32 as the application running in Boinc manager. Is that normal?
Also stopped Collaz.

[img ]https://i.imgsafe.org/4c8cdbf1f0.jpg[/img]

Guess I have been here too long. I have the latest app from Lunatics. I will have to try to find Mike's World. Any leads on where that is?
As of Collatz it's set to run 10% of the time. So it really should not bee that big a drain. I will turn it off for a bit and see if that helps. If a 750TI should do 7-10K then I should be doing a lot better with 2 of them.

I have been looking at various threads and have not found an answer. My cruncher is a 8 core AMD with dual 750ti graphic cards. I am noticing people get 30 - 45K rac. Mine is down to 6K. What am I doing wrong?

Could you power these phones via USB plugs of very that laptop? Then measure with the same single power meter consumption of laptop alone and consumption of laptop + 1 or 2 phones.

That's a very good idea! I will do that.

How to check that AR of tasks is the same?

I would try what grant suggested, limiting the # of reporting tasks.

Reporting 500 tasks at once maybe causing the problem.

Also you may want to look in your slots to see if there is any sign of what happened.

25-Feb-2017 07:58:21 [SETI@home] This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress

Exactly. If I had merely fried a motherboard or GPU, I'd just be swearing for a few hours fixing it. In this case I no longer have any of the hardware, to include the hard drive. To be more precise, I no longer have access to it.

However, all I am worried about is leaving other crunchers hanging until those tasks time out.

I wonder why the 3 GB version of the 1060 GPU is higher in the Top GPU models even though it has it has less cores,

Do you think this is because of more powerful Rigs would have been installing the 3GB since it was released earlier? or is there an actual spec deference between the cards,

Do you think the 6GB will slowly move up the ranking to be similar to the 3 GB.

cheers

^hi all, just seen something strange in my results

Boinc self determine théorical Gflop to my GPU ( HD7750 ) a 2048 Gflop, , on technical websites and wiki , the value is about 819 Gflops ...

but now on somme task , it set to 2304 Gflops , is it self calculated with time by result ?

look at theses ..

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=5423626195 >2048
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=5516955845 >2304

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=5522146789 >2304

thks for your thoughts ...

Yes, I notice this also about a week ago. I'll tweet them and maybe that will get their attention more than this forum. :-)

Name		c/t	Clock	L3	TDP	MSRP

i5-7500		4/4	3.4GHz	6MB	65W	$202

That's because you have told the server you want AP work in your prefs but you have no app for it.

And even when I don't have that option selected I still get the messages in the Event log. Just getting it in the Manager Notices is new.

Two of my computers had full caches early this morning but my daily driver still hadn't reloaded. I had to go through the project toggling exercise to get it to get tasks. What I find interesting is that the Windows 10 computer is able to fill out its cache within a few hours of the project coming back online. Not the case with the Windows 7 machines which always take 1-2 days to recover.

Over 12 hrs since the outrage ended and the RTS remains drained. This is what I predicted.

I have full caches now, which means many others should as well.
So, if the splitters are able to maintain present creation rate of around 38/second, RTS should start to build in the next hour or so.
That is MY prediction.

Meow.

There seems to be a problem with the team finding function.
If i want so find a team, there is no button for searching.
Is this possible a server problem?

Why don't we start a fund for a robotic disk library? I used to do Tech Support on commercial tape backup robotic libraries and they aren't all that big. Should be able to find space for a robot at the CoLo or SSL or wherever the splitters are physically located. That would solve the issue of having to have a corporeal entity physically change out the disks as is done currently.
