Hi Christian, yes, everything is still in the "lab". Didn't throw anything away. :) To challenge my own working assumption: One user with a "decent" rig with 8x Tesla V100s seem to enjoy his Volta based folding. How to get 15mio PPD from one System Now the question is: Is there a FAH relevant...

I do not intent to use the TitanV as a folding card, I was just using an "old" (and well known) application to get a first hands-on experience. 1st change: I dropped the 1080Ti from the system, letting the TitanV use the full x16 PCIe 3.0 bus bandwidth. Verified by devicebandwidth.exe, the card...

Hi there. Haven't been around for many years - too many other things in life .... :) Please feel free to add your own observations to this thread. Here my initial FAH observations: I got a Titan V and a 1080 Ti. Put them in one of my older folding systems and just restarted the rig to see what...

Hi Everybody & Happy New Year! Haven't been here for some years, thought I come back sometimes - like now :) The last years had been quite intense and interesting businesswise, leaving almost no room to play around with GPUs, multi/many cores and Distributed Computing. Had been deep into GPU's...

I talked with them about this. But given the size and duration of each of the projects they did not want to invest in creating BOINC ready projects, fearing that creating and maintaining it would take too much attention. The real fun part was the physical interaction, brainstorming, creating...

Hi Nathan_P :) part of the reason why I was less often here was a stronger focus on this "hardware". Which I would not call insane but rather reasonable. Got a second one last week, plus a lot more stuff at smaller scale over the last year. Most trips went fine except one - drowned the...

Thank you for your kind reply. BTW, I got the GTX 980 today. May be some people might be interested in the results Running the FAH benchmark the Maxwell chip shows its optimization vs the Kepler generation: Explicit solvent was 63.99 ns/day for the GTX 980 (best result listed so far GTX...

I just wanted to show a sign of life after staying away for approx a year and share how my HW had been used since I left the FAH crowd in these 12 months. Reading through some of the threads the departure from the FAH project seems to be a wider spread movement - showing the complexity and...

For what kind of application are you hoping to get that performance? 1 (marketing) TFlop/s will be reached much earlier than sustainable TFlop/s in a set of applications. The key bottleneck for sustainable HPC performance is not the ability of the datapath (= ALU) to compute stuff, but for...

These results show that POV doesn't scale beyond a single socket as good as one might expect. Thanks to (the lack of) Numa awareness in the application. BTW, my results came from a system with 4 x E5-4650 @ 2.7/2.9 GHz (32c/64t). Can check later single or dual socket results with the...

Reconfigured a server at home and tested a few programs earlier today. Andy

"Running on" is sometimes not enough in HPC. That's why there is a paper on performance portability (plus another paper) rgds, Andy

or rather in the direction that the days of CPU based simulations are ending "soon". Not factually but from an efficiency/performance perspective. In a world of limited dev resources, there might be a point in time, where it makes sense to move available dev resources to drive performance in...

Congrats DooKey - very well deserved ... all the best from across the pond, Andy

Think this is a great opportuntity to express a big Thank YOU to all folders from other teams who joined [H] for this "honorable" goal. Can't talk on behalf of the whole ]H] team, but the time, systems and energy you donated is really appreciated, Thanks, Andy

Congrats to all. feels good :D

GPU WUs are welcomed as well :D A 8900 takes about 4 hrs on a fast GPU, current "schedule" to pass the line is 215 mins (unless skewed by BA units coming in). If you get 7810 and 7811 units, then there is ample time ;)

@sbinh, Grandpa and Musky are helping out others in their christmas challenge (they shared their intention and step) In the last 24 hrs, [H] delivered 62 mio points, vs 36 mio points for default - so we are still zooming in on default. wrt to lower levels of [H] folders: mtnduey and brilong...

Team [H] just passed the 36 billion points mark. Less than 42 mill points remain to pass default.

Nothing beats homegrown power - appropriately colored "green" :D The latter. Big ones. Don't know why the neigborhood is so dark during my folding :) BTW, to use a common metric here: One of these cables would support 34 mio ppd - too bad I don't have that many machines ( 36 x i4P...

Thanks :) They are part of a larger "family" of cards currently folding for the default challenge .... cheers, Andy

Hi Quickz, thanks for the heads-up. Due to your post I checked my systems. Currently all 10 NVidia cards are set to run at 1097 MHz, a speed which doesn't require attention. Not a single hiccup in the last 5 days since I started them for the "default case". With that speed, the 780 Ti...

big performer for default - "letsche" - who did approx 20mio ppd in the last few days, seems to have stopped folding, bringing default's daily production back to 37 mio ppd. without further changes, approx 4 days are needed .... Andy btw, had my first daily result above 4 mio ppd (4.5...

I won't :) but due to recent changes, "christmas eve" seems to be in the next 5 days ....

Kind of milestone: First time in the [H] Top 4. :D

Correct. But, .... Folding doesn't use DP (Double Precision) calculation. For other apps, it might be relevant. To accomodate the "unbalanced" SP/DP ratio of many GPU cards, there is a new emerging field called mixed precision algorithms - you might check if interested. rgds, Andy

GrandPa, sincere congrats, a deep thank you and a humble fantastic achievement is on order!!! Outstanding! All the best, Andy

For peace of mind, proper temperature and cost & energy efficiency: 2 But I am case limited (having more GPUs than proper cases), so the current setup is: 5x Dual GPU cases 1x i7-3930K System/ASUS X79WS system which could hold 4x NVidia GPUs (my ATI cards aren't fit for that arrangement), but...

Does anybody know "letsche"? He is folding for default, with 11.18mio ppd currently the highest performer in the global list. But if you look at the last 3 days, his contribution was in the 20 mio ppd range. http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=619341 mtnduey has...

I guessed so - awesome! Info from the lower ranks: With the GPUs now on, I had my highest daily production yet: 3,62 mio ppd yesterday :D Andy

Thanks & congrats Axdrenalin. I still need 2 weeks to get there where you already had been. rgds, Andy

Correction: 12 Currently folding: 144 CPU cores and 33728 GPU shader cores. Unfortunately, I am running out of unused GPUs I could add. Good that we have winter temperatures out here .....

In case people haven't followed the change at the helm. Brilong overtook mtnduey today. Leading now with 10.43 mio ppd vs. 10.25 mio ppd and btw: November will be the first month the [H]orde will be over the 2bn mark Andy

Ron, good to see you here :) I had to look up the term "taunting" and the translated term has quite a negative connotation in my language. If my post over at OCN came accross that way, I apologize. The real intention was to both of us to fire up more systems for the cure :) Having said...
