TPU's WCG/BOINC Team

I soooooo wish I had some cash and a pair of Hero 7 Crosshair boards at this point.... Man that is cheap!!

I was just wondering as well guys, has anyone been having any issues with sending and receiving work from WCG at all??

My SR-2 system has seemed to have a few hickups of late with uploading/downloading tasks for WCG but also seems to be dropping off my network for some reason.. I've only recently changed over the CPUs from the X5650's to the X5675's and I'm sure it's not that... Well, I'm hoping it's not....

I just wondered if anyone else was experiencing problems.......??

OK, I have a minute! I would like to post (re-post, I lost the first draft because of an errant click on the Alerts bell! damn thing!) some info from the BOINC Workshop I attended in Chicago.

Kevin Reed, IBM and WCG, and Kieth Uplinger, WCG and BOINC, asked for some new 'Contributors'. Contributors are IT folk who tinker with BOINC and make it work, along with updates and stuffs.

At the workshop, we focused on New User's and Retention of User's. BOINC will be doing some work, in the coming months, with this in mind.

If you would like to volunteer your unique skills and perspective, to a World Wide Open Source project, and meet some incredible people along the way, this may be it!!

I have 2 links to help you get started,

https://github.com/BOINC

https://github.com/BOINC/boinc

I don't have programming skills or I would be all over this! It is a part time volunteer gig that really does make a difference for a ton of people!!

Be sure to tell 'em you're from TPU!! Good Luck!!

P.S. If anyone has a suggestion for another Thread that would help find New Contributors, Please post here or PM me.

Thanks!!

any ryzen 7 2700 users crunching? what kind of numbers can i expect on this? how will the temps be with a Wraith Spire for the time being?

With the projects currently available, PPD varies a lot. Under Linux, I'm seeing 15-22K PPD with my 1700. Temps should be fine.

None of our members have one, HERE is what we got. Interesting I found out that some body did do some WCG on a 3900X, wunder who that could be? 2600 on Win10, 100% 12000 PPD max is my guess. 20 degree ambient all stock, 70 C, again guessing.

2600 is R5 though, i'm actually looking at the 2700X on that list as comparison

I can only provide Linux/2700X numbers and if you know them you will sit with a guilty feeling every time you log into WIn10

. Let it run and we will see what it will do, for sure better then the 3570 (?) that it replaces. The 2600 was a mis-typing from my side, sorry I meant 2700.

naw, im just interested in numbers, could care less about OS

also, im up and running now :pimp:

I have two 2700X both running 18.04 LTS. One has always been 100 % WCG, the other 14 threads WCG and two folding. Given the right workload (now Zika, before Ebola) they would average 25 and 22K PPD. With the recent shortage of OpenZika I ran 100% MCM and the points tumbled to around 14-15K.

Only 2 of my 3 active systems are on that list, and it's my 1700 that's missing. :confused:

So...don't trust it? Edit: how do you know it's yours that's missing?

Because it has 8.4M points, should be at about 18th position. My other 2 are at 26 and 43. Weird that it's on my personal list:

Don't you think it's included in the four 1700 listed?

Breakdown, not list. Never mind...

Yay, looks like my two 1800x's in 8th position by points

not too shabby, and haven't crunched with either of them for a long time. Points don't quite tie up though, on FreeDC if I look up the hosts, one has 8,627,265, and the other 6,847,859, totalling 15,475,624. Boincstats shows 2x 1800x's which tallies up, but 20,272,427 points :confused:

theonedub · Aug 1, 2019

So the final pieces of the 2990wx setup arrive in the next few days but catching up in the thread I'm concerned with memory. Did I screw up ordering a 32GB kit with the intention to run non-targeted/selected projects? With the standard mix my Xeon used 8-12GB with 28 threads, figured 32GB should make it with 64 threads.

Boincstats shows active CPUs. Yours could be exclude from the 20,272,427 points. Do they show up when you list your CPUs inside Boincstat?

Ah right ok. In that case the two shown currently probably aren't mine then. Thanks

The new weather prediction project is RAM hungry, so you did right.
Edit: It has been discussed (RAM usage) and they is/will be an option to select how may to run con-current, but still it will benefit running four channel.
Linux/Windows? Can't wait to see what it will do.

The FAAH2 project can take over 500MB per task. If you happened to get a full load of them, you could end up short on RAM.

Right in both statements. Now is it a 100% Window driven one, a part time Linux or...? With around 70 active uses we could find out. What I did find out is that @jjames888 has a 3900X dating back to before release, and I ordered within 1 hour from it was listed and I'm still waiting for mine.

Now @Nordic

Nordic · Aug 1, 2019

I purchased my 3900x about 1 week after the release date. I couldn't find it on Amazon or newegg, but I found it in stock at msrp on best buy. Best buy refuses unsubscribe me from their emails now. I just put the build together last week.

I am not crunching with my 3900x right now because of summer heat. It may have completed a few tasks when I was running my old windows install on it for a few hours. I am really excited to see how it performs while crunching. I also have smt off for single core gaming performance, so I won't reach my full crunching potential either.

By the way, @AlienIsGOD, the spire cooler isn't great but at 100% fan it kept my 3900x at 80c under full load. It is a bit noisy too. My case airflow isn't great either.

phill · Aug 1, 2019

The Spire cooler sucks.. I thought I'd give them a go and member here sent me two of them but with the higher temps they gave me and the sheer noise, I couldn't take it so I just stuck with the D14 cooler and Phantek unit I have here.. They seem to do a decent job, 16 threads, full load all day, even with the 35C+ heat we've been having here, I've not seen temps hitting 80C yet at stock... I should really sort out the ram timings on those 1700X's but I've just left it at stock 2133....

As you can see from my screenie, mine peaks at around 85C...might have to break out Noc D14 sitting somewhere and hope that I have an AM4 bracket for it
