F...ing hell, Gregg! Did you just say twelve GTX 2080?!

As in the subject, guys.

I'm testing GTX 660 2GB along with i3-2100 at the moment and was wondering if CPU would be way too weak and bottleneck GPU?

What is the Intel GPU, and what driver are you using under Linux? You might be interested in this thread at Seti@Home Beta I followed your posts to get Intel GPU drivers. Boinc was seeing GPU and I didn't have the option turn on to suspend GPU when the computer in use. And here's the log from fault...

Hello guys,

I am trying to run some tasks on Intel GPU while I still have the rig but all I get is

Code: Select all

Tue 03 Sep 2019 10:33:48 BST | SETI@home | Task 05ja12ab.27934.4979.9.36.88_1 postponed for 30 seconds:

This is happening on Linux Mint 19.

Have a look at this post on LHC website

Not exactly down. GPUgrid doesn't yet have support for the Turing cards though. I think Einstein and Milkyway do better on AMD cards (floating point). Not sure about Asteroids. Mind you, your card will get good scores anyhow Not with all Radeons. I hate to see that only a handful of GPUs is support...

You could try to crunch for Einstein, Asteroids or Milkyway if I were you. With such firepower, you could bring a healthy contribution to those projects.

Hi Gregg and SolidAir79

Good to see you both joining TSBT.

Yes, it did. I was curious if any of you tried to run it outside of BOINC

Well, I was thinking about Universe, Cosmology and maybe one of the maths projects. I am guessing LHC might be too heavy for those units.

Congrats david. Congrats

As in the tile.

Did you have any experience with this project?

Something tells me you ran the ./amdgpu-pro-install not in the directory where the amdgpu-pro-install script is (/Downloads/driver/version), as it will install all the files you installed with synaptic, and more. Believe me, Dirk, I did run install command in directory containing all unpacked files...

Re: 14/8-21/8 Competition in speeding up project OGR-28 - yoyo Thanks david.

Thanks david.

Guys, do I block this IP address 116.203.62.4 to stop yoyo uploading tasks?

The -y argument sets all questions during the install to a default 'yes'. The install of OpenCL depends heavily on the --opencl=pal,legacy argument. Without it you will get the infamous 'no useable GPU detected'... ./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=pal,legacy --headless --headless will drop Accelera...

Try this the add the user 'boinc' to the video group instead: sudo usermod -a -G video boinc I have done this without any success. PS This is what I get when I issue ./amdgpu-pro-install -y command ./amdgpu-pro-install -y deb [ trusted=yes ] file:/var/opt/amdgpu-pro-local/ ./ Get:1 file:/var/opt/am...

Did you install using ./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=pal,legacy ? OpenCL is an optional component of the Pro variant and is installed only if it is specifically requested. Here's how you add boinc user to Video group: gpasswd -a boinc video So first thing I tried to do was add boinc to video grou...

Activity menu didn't have option to suspend or run GPU apps. I tried the card on another host with Lubuntu 18.04 installed but after installing drivers system won't boot up (error about invalid signature or something like that). Can you tell me what would be the command line syntax to add boinc to v...

Hello all, I tried today to utilize Radeon R7 250X 2GB but neither Collatz nor Amicable Numbers did not pick up new card. Official GPU drivers from AMD website were installed without any errors on Linux Mint 19 Tara yet BOINC still doesn't see the card :evil: Please, share your thought on how to res...

Hi guys,

Which projects would be suitable for those little crunchers? And are there any new models available to buy in UK?

Thanks for advice. I will try it next time.

I need quick advice, gents.

I have some yoyo Siever WUs going to pass deadline. Should I cancel them, let them run or they will be cancelled by project?

scole of TSBT wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 11:33 pm A bad WU is not unheard of. You should add a feature to your BT tool to set a max time limit for WUs on projects and abort them if they run longer than the max.

BT tool? Please, can you elaborate?

Sorry guys for going off topic. And thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Like Bryan said above "There just isn't a SMART answer to it" so let's close this topic and get back to crunching.

@Hal Bregg this is an ancient topic and has been going around every since GPU crunching 1st came out. Credit Screw, which Yoyo uses, was David Anderson's approach to "socialized" crunching. If he totally had his way it wouldn't matter if you were running a single Pentium computer or a 299...

I was equally unimpressed with M-Queens https://tsbt.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=13798 I'll be off this project like snow off a dyke as soon as the FB sprint happens. I am only running it as I can bunker yoyo speculatively for a month ahead I completely don't understand this whole BOINC c...

I gave this project a shot on my Linux PC and I'm disappointed by the amount of credit awarded for successful work. For example one task took over 8 hrs to crunch, 2,044.25 points were claimed and only 599.06 were given? Why?

How low they pay and how fast are the WUs?

Collatz does have a GPU app for the Intel onboard GPUs. You just need to get the OpenCL drivers installed. It's not nearly as powerful as the gaming cards but it is faster than CPU. Beware though. The GPU is in the CPU die correct? So you need to watch the CPU temps really close? No multi-threaded ...

This is strange. I run Gerasim sucesfully on Windows 10 Home and I don't have any of those C++ packages. Are they bundled up with Windows 10? In fact I remember I removed some of them as I was running out of space on system disk.

I knew that GPU would be only way to crunch for this project. As a test I run Collatz on CPU and it was going to take around 5 days on i7-4770 so i cancelled the tasks. I was wondering if I could employ more cores to crunch or is it single core project?

I am trialing Collatz and was wondering if crunching with Intel GPU makes sense? Can it be optimized at all?

If not can crunch on CPU using more than one core?

Holy crap! How long CPU would crunch then?

The dickhead in charge is not interested in BOINC, export stats, teams and forums.

It turns out that his email is dead. And I cancelled all the tasks. One that was at 35% started from scratch after reboot.

I will try to get in touch with whoever is looking after this project.

What a surprise. I didn't check retirement list on boincstats.

Did you have good experience while crunching for this project?

I just started testing this new CPU only project http://qmcathome.org/index.html Webpage states there are two projects QMC@home and cleanmobility@home. Project in in testing phase at the moment. I managed to get 7 tasks (cleanmobility.now 6.06) on linux host. Approximate run time reported by boinc c...

Thanks David. I will try to get as much info as possible to keep our team updated.

Website is down. EDIT I am guessing this project is the same http://usproteins-at-home.ru/usproteins/ Forum is inactive. Windows only project. Requires VirtualBox (in unsupported version :think: ). Tasks download with permanent HTTP error. I dropped quick email to alleged admin of the project but no...

Project stated producing stable amount of work at the moment. There was a lot of troubles with WUs running endlessly or ending with errors but admins seems to solve most of the issues. Project does not pay well considering most of the tasks are short and if you want to run it on multiple cores make ...

Hi guys. I joined this project yesterday on my Windows 10 host. All is working fine. Task are relatively short and finish without any errors. I added project on another host with Linux but I don't get any new work. All I see is Thu 20 Jun 2019 12:42:16 BST | Gerasim@home | Applications and versions,...

Is TSBT moving to League 1 after this sprint is finished?

Thanks, Captain Kid. Don't forget other members of TSBT.

I was late to the party but I am happy I could help a little bit.

What a list, Dirk! Some of the architectures I am seeing for the first time.

Seems to be there. I haven't got compatible GPU so I can't tell for sure.

By saying 'intiger or floating point' have you got in mind specific projects?

Server is down again. And no news what is happening with the project.
