Totally not worth it. They're complete pants at Einstein with 2 concurrent taking a little over 13 minutes each which is less than half the performance of a R7. I gave 4 per a try but it just doubled the time taken. nvidia-smi says the V100 is at 100% utilisation but also that the card is...

Absolutely, I'd never suggest buying them but renting at $0.80 per hour has it's place. Assuming space in existing rigs, the purchase of 16 x R7s at UK prices = £9600 + electricity to run + dripping sweat without A/C = serious grief from wife Renting 8 x v100s for a few hours to maybe stir...

They crunch a task in approx. 40 sec with 8 tasks running. So, a theoretical of almost 4M ppd but invalids and gaps in work bring it down.

Doh, rumbled :D Not such a high end CC, they're cheap as chips for what they can do on MW. I'll be good and stop playing around with the toys now.

Congrats! A well deserved win.

Welcome! If you could keep those additional 2 gpus off until tomorrow, that'd be awesome ;) Don't. Just don't, lol.

Who? Me? Bunker? :p

That was fun! Well done to the team on 4th, the highest ever placement together with winning [H]'s first event medal to boot. Congrats to TSBT and friends for the organisational and tactical prowess they brought to the party. A clean sweep. Again! And finally, kudos to SG for hosting the...

I agree with your former point but not the latter. Providing help doesn't really resonate unless you're sacrificing something in doing so. Apologies if any of my actions have led to your decision. You'll be sorely missed CV.

Thanks for your phenomenal boinc endeavours over the last year atp. I'll miss our chats in the other place.

Phew, I thought they'd caught you with your fingers in the cookie jar and docked the points :D I've tested the technique in gcp and simulated it on the tail end of my bunkering by running four instances at once. Both worked quite well. It's just a bit of a guilt thing that's stopping me from...

Always glad to be of help Tony.

You got it, but I use the one of the BAM profiles and then assign that host to that profile in BAM. To read the config or info files I fall back on restarting boinc via the CLI command sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart.

I may not be understanding correctly but if you're asking if the trick will still work with the WCG IP blocked or if the WCG project page network setting works independently of the other boinc projects, then no. The global boinc no network setting works because it blocks uploads/downloads but...

As OZ allows uploads through a 0.01 network setting the best way to bunker it is to run an update script with the network turned off in boinctasks/boinc manager. This will stop you crunching tasks as fast as you grab them. Pending downloads will accumulate to your max cache (70 x number of...
