Intel Phi PCIE Cards - 56+ cores coprocessor+ CUDA - Day dreaming
(Message 2042584)
Posted 2 Apr 2020 by J3P-0 Post: Thanks for the reply. I was thinking more towards the 1 CPU requirement per GPU then have 20+ GPUs on one system like the cheap P106-90 gpu. I was just daydreaming and curious. :) Thanks JP |

Posted 2 Apr 2020 by J3P-0 Post: A little late to the party, however, I just saw these cards are getting cheap - I understand graphics cards are the best option for running Seti as well as you need one cpu core per card. My question is - could you have an infinity number of graphics cards used in conjunction with these Intel Phi coprocessors? (power requirements aside) Just curious, |

Posted 9 Mar 2020 by J3P-0 Post: Thanks for the app update T-Bar and everyone that had helped me in the past - I'm way late and let my best workstation sit idle hoping to get back to fixing the app (stopped working a while ago but my other workstations have been running) - Just fixed it with new app and updated drivers/cuda 10.2, for one last run till the end of the month. Wish everyone well James |

BOINC Client is disconnected
(Message 1983446)
Posted 4 Mar 2019 by J3P-0 Post: I too started having issues last week and just now started looking into it - when launching BOINC from terminal I get this error - I am running the special app - If your running the standard flavor you can remove and reinstall sudo apt remove boinc-client boinc-manager THEN sudo apt install boinc-client boinc-manager My launch from terminal showed this error Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" (I then reinstalled it) I also assume some modules were removed at some point due to other software I installed in my system because I also had to reinstall the following as well: sudo apt-get install libcurl3 sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-libopencl1 |

Posted 9 Feb 2019 by J3P-0 Post: Thanks for the update, as of this AM 11:25 CST have a bunch of tasks waiting to report with nothing downloaded. Should I continue to wait, abort or will it pick back up when storage is back online? EDIT: seems a reboot fixed my issue. |

Posted 7 Feb 2019 by J3P-0 Post: About the 690. Thanks, I am going to give up on the 690's unfortunately and switch to something others referenced like the 1060's since they support the Special App and perform way better, I really like the concept of dual GPU cards ever since I saw an old ATI quad GPU demo card in early 2000's even before they came out with SLI and Crossfire. |

So if I have 7 GPU (7x100WU) - but I am able to trick the app to think I have 65 gpu's (65x100WU) but only really have 7 GPU's I can download 65x100 instead of 7x100 thus having a bigger cache of WU's to work from ... correct? Please tell me how to enable this magic sorcery :) |

Posted 6 Feb 2019 by J3P-0 Post: No that is not the reason, the reason is to make sure that enough work is on hand to get through server outages without running out of GPU work. ;-)oh, meaning that they run more than one WU per GPU? Where would one go to figure this out :)Weird, under your account is stating {63} Nvidia for coprocessorsSome people have worked out how to get around the 100 WU server side limits. Ah, gotcha, Tuesdays I run out of work on my 1080, I can't imagine how fast having 6 or 7 1080s would run out of work - so tricking the app to report more GPU's than you really have allows you to download more WU's to run? |

Posted 6 Feb 2019 by J3P-0 Post: I looked at the 1060's but the cuda cores were only 1280 and the GTX 690 is a dual GPU with 3072 cuda cores and a 512 memory bus, I noticed the GTX690 isn't even on the chart or the Titan Z, is it because they count WU on each GPU separately instead of combined? |

Posted 6 Feb 2019 by J3P-0 Post: for $120, you could have bought a GTX 1060 3GB, which would use ~100w on SETI, and still be faster than the 690 since it can use the latest special app. I looked on ebay but also had it in my mind I wanted dual GPU cards lol - maybe that was a bad plan now since it was so old. |

I didn't realize the older archetecture would be that much of a hindrance. I will have to reevaluate and devise a new plan :) HA! |

Posted 6 Feb 2019 by J3P-0 Post: I don't know where you got 115W for a GTX 690 as Nvidia rate it at 300W max draw. I just did a quick search for power consumption for the 690 and literally clicked the first link I saw, I was not concerned with power use as I was only planning on running a couple of these 690 cards at most. from the link he posted, which showed the system power draw (not GPU only), but this was also at IDLE, ie, not doing anything but displaying a desktop. Thanks Ian, I do realize now that at max power draw I could run more 1060's per power supply vs the 690's I was going to use. I'll certainly go another route now - |

Posted 6 Feb 2019 by J3P-0 Post: Thanks again Keith for updating me on the Compute 3.0 of the older cards, Ill look for newer cars that are 5.0 compatible. I really like the dual GPU cards but the Titan Z is still pricey. Thanks Viper, That will help for future purchases |
