Have you got pie today?

[Ion] · Nov 26, 2014

Great work guys. And the race for pie tonight was incredible.....133.5k and still no Cherry Pie. I'm impressed!

If you are talking about the cryptocurrecny miners (like bitcoin) I don't think they would ever work. They are very specialized asics built for sha-256 and scrypt workloads only. I don't think any WCG use those.

I heard rumors of a gpu project over on the main forum, but it was just something someone mentioned in passing and explicitly stated it was just a rumor. But after the bump in active users they saw with the addition of UGM, I think the staff over there understand what the addition of a gpu project would mean. I think the problem is finding a research team that has someone with the programming chops to write something that can use a gpu - either that or alternatively, has the funds to hire someone. There's also the issue of having sufficient work. WCG knows how fast we'll blow through a gpu project.

Are you in our Top 20?

Or almost there?

TPU takes Bronze!!!
Congrats Team!

What does the Dude say about this?

Congrats to All of our crunchers!!!

This is great, I'm so happy to finally break into the top 100 on the day the challenge ended!

Thanks to everyone who helped for this challenge, it was a lot of fun

That seems kinda counter intuitive, if I get this right (and I might be very wrong here) I get the programming challenge part of using GPUs for crunching, but this means that also part of the reason GPUs aren't allowed for crunching anymore, is that WCG cannot feed them with enough data to crunch for a certain project?

Wouldn't actually crunching through all data available in less time help researchers find treatment options faster for certain diseases if that was the case?

I don't know, I'm a dentist, not a scientist, but wouldn't breezing through these tasks by using the far more advanced compute algorithms in modern GPUs allow for faster/better research?

I think I'm lost here :ohwell:

I have heard they need a specialized workload to use open cl so I think that has more to do with it. That and partially having programmers who know how to code for it.

I don't have any C2Ds left
The last one went to @Pandacoder
And the laptops + Atom just don't hardly take up any space. And I don't think I'd get much for partially-broken first-gen i5 laptops. But selling some of the Sandy/Ivy systems and replacing them with 2P or 4P setups wouldn't hurt. Hence the acquisition of the Opty 6238 setup.

Yup, I admit it, I took his last C2D. And made it a headless Arch Linux installation (half because I like Arch, and half because Kai said Arch sucks and to use something else).

I've been thinking about picking up a MINIX NEO X7 for that same reason. I'm torn between getting that or a Roku 2, but the Roku can't crunch (yet?).

MK809III has the same processor for less than 1/2 the price. As far as I've been able to research, the RK3188 processor is about as good as it gets for performance on these things.

Sidenote, turns out WCG wasn't lying when they said ARM support was Android only. It let me attach though.

It will improve. I am already down two systems as they are currently in transition to their remote location. Others will be spooling down eventually here.

Really guys, we seemed to have pushed as hard as we ever have this challenge. Petal to the metal kind of stuff.

Yup, no holds barred, for a moment I was even considering running boinc on my android devices, but after trying that last year and having to purchase a new battery for my cell phone afterwards because it wasn't holding its charge so well anymore, I decided against it

A hundred and sixty-three thousand? Like, for real? I guess I might as well go ahead and admit permenant defeat now :eek:

Wow. Amazing!

twilyth · Nov 27, 2014

I got the dual 5645 up today, but I'm not sure it's stable. It reported a few points in time for free-dc but not boinc-stats. I can't remember what sort of ppd this rig produced but my guess is something like 8-9k. Tomorrow should give a better indication.

I wouldn't say permanent defeat. Your building quite the arsenal of 4P/2P machines. It's far from over. Remeber, GoBuuku has a ton of money tied up in those 2P E5-2660 rigs.

It's not that much.....the dual 6238, the quad 6128, and the dual X5672. But we'll see. Most of the PPD I get is from the motley collection of systems anyways. Do you know if those systems he has are personal or business ones?

twilyth · Nov 27, 2014

GoBuuku has some very impressive numbers. I'd estimatee he has to have at least 350 threads running to that get sort of output and probably a bit more. According to boinc stats it's about 356 if I did the math right - over 32 rigs. That's definitely some next-level crunching.

Yeah....that's insane. A year of runtime a day.
Makes my ~190 threads seem so sad

I tried to count the number of dual Intel Xeons CPUs in his arsenal but found out that I didn't have fingers enough :twitch:

. Nice work there Gobuuku :toast:

Maybe GoBuuku has 2 or more Duron's running! :pimp:

twilyth · Nov 27, 2014

Well one of my 2600k seems to need a refresh, which sort of sucks. But fortunately I have one of the dual hex cores up so that's still a net gain of 16 threads. The problem is that it will probably take me a while to getting around to fixing it. I hate doing reinstalls with a passion.

You're welcome to send it here---I can get it going again :rolleyes:

But it only takes a couple hours tops....why so bad?

I have to find all of my keys, install, reboot, repeat. I used to do image backups after a base install but it's been so long, those are worthless even if I could find them.
