The Scottish Boinc Team

It's 128 sec on mine.

I have slightly under clocked my card though and hence am actually getting 148 secs so nearly spot on David.

Go to

C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\boinc.thesonntags.com_collatz

and there should be a file called

collatz_sieve_1.30_windows_x86_64__opencl_nvidia_gpu.config

which should have the following in it

verbose=1
kernels_per_reduction=64
threads=8
lut_size=18
sleep=0
reduce_cpu=0
sieve_size=30
cache_sieve=1

Excellent - precisely what I had arrived at

I am changing my guess : 128 secs

thank you, however we have two differet values on kernels per reduction ... should it be 48 or 64 ?

sincerely, Gregg Roman Granowski ...

Go with Jocks figure.

all right !


edit : ' done ' ... times has dereased significantly, no errors ... sincerely, Gregg Roman Granowski ...

You look to be doing about 5M to 6M points per hour at the moment. That's a handy number.

thank you ... i have gtx 1080 at home, other servers i am keeping in office . could you please specify if values we have used for 2080 are correct for 1080 ?!

sincerely, Gregg Roman Granowski ...

Try these for the gtx1080 unless someone suggests better

Gregg, do you know how to monitor the GPU temps and increase fan speed if needed? Running the optimized configurations will make them run hotter.

i always believed that fan speed is an automatical option, and it icreases if needed without manual action .

It should. I'm just over cautious and manually set fan to high rpm so it stays as cool as possible.

I've been in the habit of limiting the power drawn & I notice barely any effect on run times. These are Linux commands which will save 10% of power on an RTX2080ti Sorry I don't know Window equivalent

I spent hours trying every set of 2080Ti settings on the web. The ones are for my card and others cards may like other ones more who knows.

I have had faster but then occasionally I see Compute Failures so backed off slightly until I was getting 100% passes.

For the 1080 I am not sure as I do not have one.

' the optimalization ' was a woderfull idea ... hopefully we'll get some extra points ... toward Formula Boinc performance ... could You please tell what bagde is after 2.000.000.000 points ? is it for 5 or 4 000.000.000 ?

sincerely, Gregg Roman Granowski

Had a look at my account and I am only showing one badge for over 20Bn, where do I see the earlier ones please? Sorry, I am not an avid badge-collector

edit : although my declaration to support TSBT is a continous one ... I am thinking of joining ... my fellow slavic ... Russian Team ... but only for Primegrid ...

Yes indeed, very many very brave souls in underground movements across Europe in WW2.

Closer to home (for me as I born in Orkney) was the Shetland Bus which smuggled brave men and supplies on fishing boats across the North Sea to / from Occupied Norway.

Thank you for your continued support of TSBT and, yes of course, several of us support other teams at other times

greetings and warm welcome ... I am staying with TSBT for Primegrid ... Ural University is a one man team ... sincerely, Gregg Roman Granowski ...

Dear TSBT Members ... may I present to You ... very famous polish Symphony ... op. 36 Symphony of Sorrowfull Songs by Henryk Mikołaj Górecki ... when younger, I've listened about 500 times or even more ... day by day ...

it is an absolute masterpiece !

edit : at the moment ... the settings are ... 2 x 14 core xeon and 4 x 32 ryzen core for S o B, 4 x 14 xeon for WCG, GPU 10 x 2080 for Gpugrid ... and produo for milkyway ...

the first ever recordable Performane of Symphony of Sorrowfull Songs op. 36 was made by London Sinfonietta and Dawn Upshaw ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87DJF1_vwQA ... however it is not the greatest performacne ... I like ... the one ... with ... Zofia Kilanowicz on soprano ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mEWlGLkjIw ...

sincerely, Gregg Roman Granowski ... ...

The London Sinfonietta recording was a best-seller in the UK in the 1990s. I bought it then & listen to it often. I've not kept count but I doubt I can beat 500 times!
It's a beautiful piece of music Gregg. But very very very sad. Obviously I'm not able to understand the words but the grief & mourning in the music & singing is palpable.

greetings and warm welcome ... we are only 20 points to achieve the third place in Formula Boinc ... i do not remember what was our's expentancy ... but the fourth place isa an exelent as well ...

sincerely, Gregg Roman Granowski ...

There's a long time left until the end of FB 2020 but 3rd or 4th would be great. The BOINC Pentathlon sponsored by SETI.Germany starts in a week or so. There will be projects we will hit hard over a 2 week period, plus bunker time. Join us if you want to. It's a lot of fun, a lot of banter.

Oh indeed - the Pentathlon is my absolute favourite even of the crunching year.

Even if you don't like to bunker Gregg, those big systems / GPUs would be a terrific help

Dear Scottish Gentelmen ... I will compete for sure, but i do not like bunkering ... there is ... a ' largest effort ever ' towards GPUGrid ... all Gpu power is set to ... ' the effort ' ...

sincerely, Gregg Roman Granowski ...

Thanks Gregg
