@ Jimbocous

(what you're probably doing right now ...)

You were correct, I was!

I installed the ppa, then set it active. I used the -390 version since I am not sure the
special sauce 10 version will work with my hardware but the 098 works.

Running and returning results.

Thanks for your help.

fwiw, I use the Cuda90 (098), as my 980s and 750ti don't want the Cuda10 (101). However, the Nvidia 430 is fine for that as well. I think there's a minimum required for the 10, but no need to avoid the 4xx if running 9. Been on 430.50 for quite a while, and it's nice and stable.
Glad you're cooking. l8r, Jim ...

That's interesting. Just ran across a singleton gtx 1660 running AIO. And based on the gpu results I would say it is running without "-nobs". The wallclock time is roughly twice the cpu time listed.

. . I think that is because he is running the pre-loading version of the app.

? ?

It’s my machine. GTX 1650. Uses about 65-70w

It’s running -nobs, but using the mutex build, so runtimes will report as about 2x as long in most cases. But if you read the stderr output you can find the actual run time. Or just use the CPU time as the run time. It’s close enough.

And that is a LOT of RAC for a 1 gpu box.

It used to have 2x 2080s in it for testing. But they are out now.

Rats. I was hoping that gpu was really the one that pumped it up there.....

What is the latest/fastest cpu build for Linux?

And so on.... :)

Don't know. Why don't you benchmark what is available and see for yourself. The latest appears to be the r4008 AVX2 build in TBar's AIO.

Which reminds me.

1) To experiment with a different cpu task in production it is a very good idea to run your cpu tasks dry.
2) The spelling of

MBv8_8.22r4008_avx2_intel_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

has to be exact.

I still can't "see" the difference but a copy/paste worked when the "eye-ball" method didn't. Ghosted around 200 cpu tasks.

Running AVX2 from the AIO archive. I have an Amd 3900x which is supposed to run AVX2 better than my 2000 series Amd's.

Its running but I will be checking for "heat" since it supposed to run hotter.

Tom

So far the temperature has not deviated more than a degree.

I have 9 threads currently running an AVX2 cpu app.
2 tasks race-horsed through in about 27 minutes.
7 look like they are going to take about 50 minutes which is in the ballpark of previous general CPU results.

I am currently running a mixed load of 5 World Community Grid CPU threads, 6 gpus using a thread a piece and 10 CPU threads crunching Seti@Home (1 is doing an AP task now).

Don't know why anyone would want to hand type in an applications name when a "copy/paste" is so much faster and easier . . . . and no chance of a typo dumping your cache.

Best Christmas gift, is seti giving me work again. My GPUs are so happy :)



Yes, I agree I do need to cleanup the case. Just currently super busy.

When I started I couldn't figure out how to "copy" a file name. Eventually I poked around enough with the CL interface, cd and ls to get it listed and then it high-lighted and copied the file name.

Copying a filename all from the keyboard, this is from memory as I am in Windowsland right now (office)...
With the file highlighted:

F2 - Puts it into Rename; in Ubuntu this pops up a rename dialog, in Mint Cinnamon the rename is inline as with Windows, but same effect
Home - Moves the cursor to the beginning of the filename
Shift+End - Moves the cursor to the end of the filename selecting the entire filename
Ctrl+c - Copies the selection

Repeat for renaming with Ctrl+v instead for the last (again, much like Windows.)

The way I do it is through the Files application. I simply navigate to where the executable is that I am interested in. Right-click the file icon and it pops up Properties with the name of the application already highlighted. Right-click the name of the app and select Copy. Now paste the name to wherever or what application or function you need like the Find and Replace of the Text Editor. Couldn't be more simple.

OK, but I know Tom is using the same Ubuntu I am. So should work for him.

Unfortunately, while I have experimented with stock Ubuntu its responsiveness is hesitating compared to older version of Lubuntu I do use. So I am seriously spoiled by the snap/crackle/pop of the Gui of my older Lubuntu. I THINK the developers decided to scrap that GUI and go to something else. I haven't bothered to upgrade since what I have works and gets security updates (the only updates I allow) so I am reasonably happy.

So while I will try the suggested processes. I ended using the CL interface to navigate to the folder and LS to get a listing I could high light and copy from.
