Re: QuChemPedIA@home

tried an Intel machine this time, older OS (ubuntu 18.10): 3 valid, 74 invalid

Not a good ratio, especially when some of the invalid WU have run for 20-30 mins before failing.

Re: QuChemPedIA@home

Not a good start from me. Two WU errored, 50 were invalid after significant run times. Only 3 validated at about 8pts per thread per hour on an OC 3900X. To add insult to injury, I forgot to join the team so even they didn't count.

Is this normal? (Linux)

I've never had much success with GPU crunching on the main Linux machine I use for RL work. Until today. I have been using Ubunto 19.10 on a Ryzen 3900X with an old AMD card to run X11 and an nVidia 1660ti to crunch Moo. Seems to work pretty well - no slow-down on X11 - even when playing videos with...

If I left HT on but only ran 32 threads on the 2990wx machines, would that be ALMOST the same as turning HT off ?
