[Ion]'s latest activity

Hey thx folks and it has been 20 years, all for the [H]. First folding record is Jan 2004 after I switched from the SETI screen saver to FAH on a Pentium 4. THE Pentium 4 - 3.06 GHz with hyperthreading. King of the hill back then. Of course...

Well I finally made it to 100K. Personal goal of mine the last couple months and it actually feels like a bit of an accomplishment with PPD being so high on GPU's these days. Not holding a candle to the legendary beekeeper (who's still active...

Looks like we just overtook them, so seeing as they've been ahead for most of the challenge, that looks like a good deal for us. Top-10 finish I can take :)

2 days 21 hours remaining... We are neck and neck with the other team.

bump, price drop!

At least here in Maine it's not hot yet outside, so I can open up the windows, stick a box fan in the window, and keep the place perfectly comfortable that way. Definitely going to be running at reduced strength for the summer contests though.

I'm givin' her all she's got, captain! (not quite, but it's finally warming up enough that I can't bear to turn on the last two systems. If the house heats up too much, the dual-CPU EPYC system overheats the VRMs and throttles to 400MHz, do it...

Any overclocking going on? My systems are all running stock (+ turbo as temps/power limit allows) and are completing tasks w/o issue.

Or, those of us who are here need to work twice as hard :)

I didn't know about this change, lol. Now htop is showing the correct cpu core affinity. Thanks!

Yes, I misunderstood how Primegrid spawns additional worker threads (I think) for each of the tasks, and you have to get all of them bound to the correct CPUs or it won't work. Oops.

Can they use AI to add more ram? Modern flagship phones have more ram than their computers.

Did you fix this to change the -pc to -pca?

Seems to be making a huge difference (tasks run in < half the time) on my EPYC system. Can't argue with that. So overall the script is workable, I think. It could use a bit more polish to make it easier to use. So far it lets you skip the...

Nice. I saw that in the discord. Thinking if I should switch one rig to PG and test out your py script. 🤔 BTW, 2024 boinc pentathlon is coming soon. The first marathon project will be announced 17 days from now.

14th place so far 😑 I wrote a Python script last night to handle pinning individual WUs to CCDs in my EPYC chips, and the results are _drastically_ better than letting the OS do it itself. With that in mind, I've got a couple more of my...

Took a few hours to start that one off.

Holdolin I've been seeing your primes roll in through the Discord feed. Crazy good work. 4 yesterday and 4 more today!

bump, price drop. This is a LOT of CPU power and a ton of RAM expandability :)

I can hear it calling your name from here :)
