Branching out to other BOINC projects thread

[mstenholm]

I noticed that as I think say 50 downloaded and only 2 days to finish... Bit of a pain so I've just told it no more downloading and I'll let these do.. I'm no sure it's switching between WCG and Rosetta so I'm not sure my 3900X did many WCG today....

I have tried to aim for 1GB of RAM per CPU thread simply because we have so many cores now, not having enough RAM between them is going to cause issues later on, so 32GB kit was great, I had a spare, that went in as well

That said, I was using 20GB+ of RAM with Chrome open, WCG + Rosetta and FAH running... It was having a good work out!!

As far as I can see you do batches of 24 and F@H is f**king up the runtime. Check for your self, CPU-time and run-time is far apart. Computer, task, valid. Have a look at your team mates. I think you better leave a thread or two for then GPUs.

I'll give it a try tomorrow ... I've just left it do it's thing to be honest, I've had more issues if I'm honest with the 2700X and the GTX 1070 than the 3900X and the two 1080 Ti's..... Thanks @mstenholm

Well this morning it seems to be managing a little better, not changed anything yet as I'd like to get rid of the Rosetta work units from the queue...

Must just have some longer work units coming up I guess?

I do say, this thread got me off my butt and put me into action. I re-did an inactive i7 3770 machine and converted it to Rosetta full time. Joined the team. WCG is great, don't get me wrong, but sometimes ya need to spice things up. Thanks for taking the initiative to organize fellas!

Welcome to the team @Boatvan!

On another note, the team has bronze badge for Recently Aquired Credit. I do not know who om3n- is though and whether he is on TPU.

We got a new/old member more - @om3n- welcome to you to.

Welcome indeed, @om3n-!

Was last seen nearly 8 years ago... Long time!! But never the less, welcome aboard

As PM'ed today, I carried over foundership to Phill. He has been de-facto captain (and officially captain for our WCG team) for long enough to make him deserve the position. Also, I havenot been in a position to crunch for a while and this may remain for some time.

 

[phill]

@Peter1986C that is sad news I will try and do my best to carry on the team as you have I've not seen a PM as yet mind?...

 

[Peter1986C]

I meant PM'd through Rosetta's system for this. Either in your e-mail or your inbox on your Rosetta account.

 

[phill]

I tried logging in there, managed it and then it said, no personal messages??! Go figure...

 

[Peter1986C]

Maybe because I sent the PM to all users while still being in Founder status, and then changing Foundership over to you (just adding users as admin did not seem to work).

Anyway, to keep a long story short, I am currently at my parents place in the same bedroom as I had in childhood (to solve a housing issue). It has been quite uncomfotably warm there for a few days so no crunching. Neither do I feel it's right to put an extra load on their power bill for now (it would not be super much I think but still). Once I solved my housing/employment etc. issues I will seek opportunities to crunch again.
