TheoneandonlyMrK · Oct 8, 2018

So I am wondering if you have any tips for gpu use, still F@home or is there work on wcg, all amd gpus.?

hat · Oct 8, 2018

I haven't heard anything about WCG using GPUs since that one project years ago...

Sasqui · Oct 8, 2018

Just saw this thread. I'm in of course! Will have 5 rigs to throw in, 72 threads a crunchin' :cool:

Yea, unfortunately (or fortunately for my electric bill), it still doesn't. It shows up as an option in the BOINC manager, but probably only works for specific projects, not WCG. Overstating the obvious... they're missing out on a lot of compute power, but no doubt some big technical hurdles to do it.

I'll give it my best.

I don't imagine it could be that hard. They already did it once... or maybe GPUs just aren't suited for the projects they have. As you mentioned, though, BOINC itself can use the GPU for other projects, just not WCG. However, there is GPUGrid, but this seems a bit redundant (for us) considering we already have a F@H team...

Should be able to add a 5930k system in time for the challenge. I'll keep it going through the birthday challenge and then likely shut it down.

Work PC died and I got one with an i7-8700 as a replacement. Sounds like it's time to see if she rips.

Much thanks to Norton and everyone who puts these challenges together. :lovetpu:

5 days to go before our challenge starts

So far 42 other Teams have signed up to join us! :toast:

Will open up the main challenge thread on Monday or Tuesday but in the meantime...
- keep getting those rigs ready to go
- contact any members you know that aren't active atm and ask them to help out

I'm kinda back to the team to give a little hand for both the warmup and the actual b-day challenge. Nothing much, though, just a pair of boxen, Ryzen 7 2700X + FX-8320. Might add another, low-end Ryzen for the b-day challenge, if I can assemble it in time. It's either 2200G or 2400G, I don't 'member the model right now.

Good to hear from you again. Didn't recognize who you are at first.

Radical_Edward · Oct 14, 2018

Got the main system running with a FX-9590 now. Just need another AM3 mobo and I'll have my backup cruncher running with my old FX-8350.

The Data Master · Oct 17, 2018

Got 24 cores and 32 threads are ready to go.
2 i7 3770s, 2 phenom 1045t (great for overnight heat in the bedroom), 1 J1900 Celeron, and for a day or 2 just to spike the numbers, I'll add overnight tasks to my Ryzen 1600.

Norton · Oct 17, 2018

20 hrs to go before challenge start!!!

Time to get your rigs spooled up and your work caches filled up!

Challenge is on- challenge thread open!
