19th on spool up day!

2nd on spool up day with a rig spooling up to try and secure my spot with another in planning stage.

Nice post # there @Norton

My best output from my Laptop and it is only worth a 29th spot. I'll take it but, must be Challenge Time!!

Otherwise that number would have been up a bit higher. :lovetpu:

Mad shot and I seem to trade pie slices each day. I checked on BOINC stats and it looks like that will end soon with the addition of a new 8350. Looks like the most I'll get will be blueberry from now on. Good job dude. :toast:

I noticed that too buddy. Great job your doing with your rigs. :toast:

The new 8350 is spooling up but I have something else in the works also. I feel a disturbance in the force for 2nd place coming soon. LOL

Down in points? But up one spot

This is challenge time I expected a heck of a lot higher numbers than what is being shown. Are every ones numbers a tad low?

The new project takes some time to spool up. People get the WUs but it takes a few days before they are awarded points (delay due to wingman have a 4 day buffer) so that could explain that you are down in points. The best way to track your own account is the amount of pending WUs and your run time.

Edit: nope my numbers are up but I fired up some old HW and I finally found out why my 4790k BSOD'ed on me with code 124 - no proper driver for the onboard GPU.

Octocore rig was way outside the normal range today - about 10k pts more than the average. Not sure what that's about. I must be getting a lot of points for UGM wu's. It's pretty rare for that rig to break 20k and the 26k today looks like the highest for past 40 days - http://boincstats.com/en/stats/15/host/detail/2270330/lastDays

I've had a few similar bumps in my rigs too. I believe the addition of the UGM project caused 2 things to happen:

1) The UGM work spent a little extra time pending as folks filled up their caches with them
2) The MCM work was held up in pending due to loss of wingmen... who moved to UGM work
As the MCM wu's clear you can expect to see a bump in ppd

I actually timed out on some MCM work due to the addition of the UGM project.

Should be a short term issue as the workloads stabilize....

It's only temporary. If I started up one of the dual hex cores I might be able to give you some competition, but that's not going to happen. I have to reinstall the OS on both, find my activation keys which don't always seem to work, etc. Plus they each run at 150-200 watts which works out to about $25/mo. for electricity. Right now my monthly bill is always over $400/mo, even in the winter and you don't want to know what it is in the summer.

If we ever get another gpu project though, that would be different. One of the hex rig rigs is an SR2 with 3 pci slots so I wouldn't have a choice.

Plus I really got spoiled with the gpu project. It's hard for me to rationalize having so many rigs crunching when I know that just one rig with a couple gpus could do 10x more work - at least. It really bugs me that the UGM project is non-gpu. Isn't that basically pattern matching? That seems like it would be perfect for gpus but then I'm not a coder - at least not for a long time anyway.

So running fewer rigs is sort of protest against WCG I guess. Maybe if they actually listened to us more I wouldn't have such a bad attitude, but never ask for the community's opinion about anything. They just do shit and then wonder why people keep leaving. Well d'uh. Maybe they'll figure that out some day.

As far as I remember my older X58 hexs draws around 300 W @ 4 GHz so if you can run your SR @ 200 W you got a winner. That said you are right - the UGM project seems to be a huge project and people like us with tons of GPUs would like to see it being a GPU project. I get crap point on it with my Intel Windows CPUs. I think/hope that they did consider the GPU way at one point.....

twilyth · Oct 18, 2014

The chips in both rigs are 5650 ES's so the TDP is 95w for each. But I don't think you ever can stress a cpu enough with just WCG to ever hit your TDP. Intel burn test can probably do it, but not WCG.

The WCG staff always says it's up to the researchers as to how they code the modules. But I don't think there are enough people in the science community who are familiar enough with high performance computing to be capable of coding applications that use the GPU.

It's not like they can hire staff or consultants to do the coding. Pretty much every researcher relies on grant money and that's taken a severe hit with all of the govt spending cuts. Even when times are good, basic research seems to get the shaft in terms of funding. I could go on a political rant here but this isn't the place for it.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Oct 18, 2014

Your right @twilyth. If any gpu units come we going to have some fun. I have 9 Amd gpu's to throw it em. I will drop my flet by half and probably do about 5 times or so in ppd. Hmm speaking of dual hex sr2 rigs I need to empty a case. LOL

The SR2 wasn't as much fun as I'd hoped though - it has a huge form factor that is unique to the the SR2 and SRX I think - HPTX I think is what it's called. There were virtually no cases available when I put mine together so I had to use a benching set up which kind of sucked since the heat sinks I had to use make a lot of noise.

Oh yeah, and your selection of heatsinks is really limited because of how close together the sockets are so you're limited to server heatsinks which are generally crap - at least at the time which was a couple of years ago. There might be a better selection now.

iirc the Xig Elysium and the big Rosewill cases (same OEM) will hold that board (KieX used the Xig case) and the 120 or 240mm AIO water coolers can keep those chips cool and relatively quiet... Corsair will even replace hardware damaged by leaks with their AIO's

If I ever restart that rig I'll have to look at water cooling. A proper case would also be nice although there are some advantages to using a bench.

I think I was able to find a couple of cases that could handle the HPTX form factor but there was some problem with them. I don't remember what though. I know for the octo rig I got a huge Rosewill case which technically fit the EATX board but it didn't have holes for all of the standoffs I needed. So when working on that one, I have to be careful depending on what I'm trying to pull or insert. I get some flexing which always makes me nervous. But I'll definitely look into it again if the time comes.

I worry about maintenance issues with normal water cooling although I have used some of the sealed, self-contained WC's for one or two single socket rigs. I like to just set these things up and then never have to look at them again.
