It was for e5- type cpus.

Fine, but there are a number of different sockets deployed on the Xeon E-5 processor series, can you be a bit more precise in your description, then constructive suggestions can be made.

Opps. Sorry. I have "several" Intel E5-2670v1 cpus. These cpus are reported to not work with the v2 or v3 LGA 2011 sockets only the original.

ark.intel.com says "FCLGA2011" which I think is aka LGA 2011.

Thank you.

Socket 2011 will run v1 or v2 e5s (depends on MB BIOS, check manufacturer website for CPU list).

V3 requires 2011-3 socket, not the same as 2011.

---

As far as I know there is no v3 CPU that will work in a LGA 2011-R1 board.

The easiest way to differentiate between 2011-R1 and 2011-v3 boards/CPUs is the RAM used, DDR3 or DDR4.

So in your case when searching for motherboards, try searching "2011 motherboard DDR3" and it filters of (most of) the v3 boards.

Yes.
All-In-One BOINC 7.4.44 and SETI Special App CUDA8 Installer

Just unpack to your Desktop. Satisfy any missing dependencies. Double-click boincmgr and you are up and running.

Just installed Lubuntu for a test setup of this on another computer. Then I clicked the link and ended up in a message that said download these and install that.

At that location there is not a "single turnkey installer".

I did download the files and installed the pZip7 thingy but apparently it doesn't showup on the menu(s).

So lets try again. Where is this "turnkey" download?

Thanks,
Tom

It is all explained in the message with the download.

This is a new build of the BOINC 7.4.44 source code with Static wxWidgets 3.0.3 libraries. You should check the Dependencies and Execute bits before running. Most distros will need to install libwebkitgtk, some libcurl3. Mint users should probably use the repository version of BOINC. Read the README 7.4.44 and the README_x41p_zi3v.txt in the docs folders. You will need to Download the CUDA 8.0 libraries mentioned in the README_x41p_zi3v and place them in the setiathome.berkeley.edu folder before running.

Do to size limitations, the package was split into three parts, you need all three parts.
In the terminal;
To install 7zip run, sudo apt-get install p7zip
To install libwebkitgtk run, sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

BOINC.7z.001 BOINC.7z.002 BOINC.7z.003

Download the three parts of the file. Install p7zip so the Archive Manager can unpack the compression. Get the CUDA 8.0 libraries from the Google Drive location mentioned in the readme zi3v.txt file. Install the libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 and the libcurl3 package. That should satisfy the missing dependencies. You can always use ldd to verify absolutely if there are any missing dependencies for both boinc an boincmgr.

Open up the BOINC folder that was created when you unpacked the Boinc.7z.001 with the File Manager. Navigate to the Projects folder. Open the setiathome.berkeley.edu folder and copy the CUDA 8.0 library files, libcudart.so.8.0 and libcufft.so.8.0 that you downloaded and are in your Download directory into the setiathome.berkeley.edu folder.

Check the permission of the boinc and boincmgr files on their respective Properties tab. Make sure the "Allow executing file as program" box is checked. Double click the boincmgr file to open the Manager and start the Client. Select the Tools tab and click the "Add project or account manager" option. Add setiathome and join the project. Boinc downloads its usual support files and download tasks. The Client starts crunching.

Or install the bare bones BOINC 7.8.3 and the CUDA 9.0 special app. Unpack the BOINC package to your Desktop. Install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 and the liburl3 package. Check execute bits and any missing dependencies.

Unpack the Special App Linux_zi3v-CUDA90_Special App package. Make a projects folder in BOINC folder. Make a setiathome.berkeley.edu folder inside that folder and copy the CUDA 9.0 files into the Seti folder. The CUDA 9 package includes the CUDA9 libraries already.

Double click the boincmgr file and launch the Manager and Client. Add the project and join the project. Crunch tasks.

Here is a quad cpu motherboard I ran across. I don't see any video card slots or PSU connectors though.

The 7z decompression protocol was added to the Archive Manager when you installed it. So you don't "run" the p7zip file you just click on the BOINC.7z.001 file and tell it to unpack to the Desktop with the usual Archive Manager utility. The Archive Manager utility doesn't have the 7z decompression protocol natively until you add it. All the Archive Manager understands by default is the normal Linux compression standards like .tar .gz and .zip.

Made more progress. I actually have a BOINC folder on my Lubuntu desktop.

Edit: Foundthe readme zi3v.txt file to get the CUDA 8.0 libraries. The file had dead Google drive links for what appeared to be CUDA 8.0 libraries.

Just fumbling around. Yes, I am writing this from the Lubuntu side. :)

I thought the links were good a week ago when I accessed the Google Drive links. If they really are dead, then just go for the CUDA 9.0 package.

Linux_zi3v-CUDA90_Special.7z

Download that package. Unpack it and copy the contents into the setiathome.berkeley.edu folder. It includes the CUDA 9.0 libraries. Already has the app_info written for the CUDA 9.0 special app. The app_info is written for all the MB and AP applications included in the package.

As long as you have BOINC already set up, it will run the CUDA 9 special app and the cpu applications.

I am up and running. I still need to run the Win10 side tasks out but it seems to be working.

I am going to run it the rest of today and then switch to Windows tonight. I will be spilting until I get Win10 side tasks finished.

THANK YOU ALL! For your patience.

I am now confident that the box under repair if it still has the Win Server running on it will also be going to dual-boot. It will have at least 2 gtx 1060's (maybe more) and 16c/32c (just found a $200 MB).

Thank you.

Just how fast should I be expecting a gtx 1060 3GB to process? I am seeing numbers about 4 minutes from a Windows 10 base of about 7 minutes.

I was looking at someone elses Gtx 1060 3GB and they were getting it in the low 2 minutes.

The log is reporting that I don't have "OpenCL" installed. I thought I installed the latest NVidia drivers. Maybe I missed something?

OpenCL isn't required as you are running a CUDA application.

It is if you want to crunch any Astropulse tasks.

I never saw my 1060 6GB card ever crunch in the low 2 minutes unless the task was overflowed or an Arecibo shorty with a high AR. Maybe that person is running Petri's latest 0.96 beta? Then that is possible. The beta 0.96 special app version is faster than the older zi3v app because it has static linked libraries and lower memory accesses.

If you don't see the OpenCL driver paired with the CUDA driver at the top of Event Log then you didn't install the OpenCL component of the Nvidia drivers. Don't need it unless you want to crunch AP work.
You will have to install it from the repository or re-install the driver metapackage that includes all the compute utilities and compute components. Depending on which Nvidia driver version you are on will determine where you get the OpenCL component.
