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...

I prefer to use boinctui within aws/gcp instances to add a modicum of GUI to the CLI interface. Return the following commands into the instance. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install boinc-client -y sudo apt-get install boinctui boinctui The boinctui interface should then fill the...

A guide to running boinc on GCP in support of our Pentathlon world domination. Firstly, sign up to GCP here. They currently offer $300 free credit for new users. They will ask for credit card details but claim that they won't start charging beyond the $300 without further authorisation from...

I've not tried it for quite a while, so just a guess, but It looks like you have duplicated the OpenCL section correctly but there's not a duplicate of the cuda portion. This seems to be borne out by the event log.

I'm a bit naff at guides but I'll try to throw together a basic one for GCP if I get some time at the weekend. It's relatively simple compared to AWS so hopefully won't take too long.

The link within my post leads to the seti post with the v098 version. The nvidia specific file within the download that your looking for is setiathome_x41p_V0.98b1_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu_cuda101 which together with the app_info.xml file (once tailored) will work with the 418 drivers you and I...

In prep for the Pentathalon, there's a few things everyone can check off the list if they can find the time. Linux trounces Windows on some projects (eg WCG) and has apps that are unavailable in Windows (eg LHC Native Atlas). If your crunching rigs are not already under linux, consider doing so...

Collatz, NFS, Amicable and Yoyo

I figure you may have already sorted this but I came across the same problem this morning and absolutely did not want to have to upgrade to 18.04 in Mint. Version 415 was as far as the repository would go. It's a bit of a pita but you can install a 16.04 418 driver manually within the CLI with...

Yay, seems I've chanced across a large prime. I just reported it and it's currently ranked 850.

Congratz buddy, well deserved.

Gerasim, TN-Grid and Acoustics makes 25 now.

I'll test the theory. I nominate pututu for his consistent contributions to our crunching efforts, to the forum and for being an all round good egg.

[H]ard|DCer of the Year 2018 please Pocatello.

pututu I'm getting about 175K ppd out of each 2990WX. I don't have one anymore but the ppd for the 1950X was just under 95K for spstarter.

I've imported into a google spreadsheet and linked to it in the opening post. My comment about using custom configs was just to remind me to think whether an existing app_config was still valid e.g. the number of threads for Amicable changes all the time depending on search stage and card...

Yes!!! I can't believe I won against such a worthy bunch of rogues. Thanks to all those that voted for me, it's very much appreciated.

Montu you should be getting about 40K ppd from a 16 thread Ryzen running the spstarter app. Edit: An afterthought. Check that you're always connected to the internet and that you're not starving your rigs of work by making sure that the maximum number of work units are selected on the...

Geresim is an odd site to navigate but you may have your computers hidden as I can't see your results (Dookey) to help diagnose. I'm not doing anything special other than not having the Test separator sub-project app selected. IIRC it provides low credits compared to the others.

Tie? We don't need any stinking ties! Now a good Thai does sound good. Can't I just pay a dodgy lawyer to get me a good poll result? Allegedly it's all the rage right now.

You'd leave us alive? You're getting soft CV.

Congrats CV!

Seti makes 22 for me.

Snap, now at 9 once CSG starts to update at FreeDC again.

GPUGrid gets me to 2

Well, that was a hell of a year. Congratz to all guys.
