Distribution of Credits
(Message 6795)
Posted 17 Oct 2020 by bluestang How much lower is the GPU credit going to be reduced to? I understand the theory behind reducing credits as the GPU tasks get shorter, but it does not work out to getting 10k per hour all the time. If that were the case the the PPD of a GPU would stay the same every day...but it doesn't. Just saying :) |

Posted 7 Jun 2020 by bluestang Ok, thanks for the information! Not worth the effort for him to even consider it. Was just curious on results. Thanks, you guys are really on top of things here and that goes along way with us crunchers. |

Posted 7 Jun 2020 by bluestang I'll assume points are bouncing around from 190 to 180 and now 170 because of runtimes? |

(Message 6565)
Posted 7 Jun 2020 by bluestang For your information: in 8-9 days, my RTX 2080 Ti calculated about 30,000 tasks (so I discovered 430 factors !) and the calculation time of a task went from 23-24 seconds to 20-21 for 70-71 bits ! Where do you find your discovered factors? |

Trial Factoring
(Message 6522)
Posted 30 May 2020 by bluestang Is it possible to have it all? I mean let users choose in Project Preferences which WUs to check off to run based on their GPU? This way slow GPUs can pick the short WUs and fast GPUs can pick the long WUs. Or is that too much of a pain to setup on the server to feed proper WUs based on that selection? |

Posted 19 Apr 2020 by bluestang I've patched mfakto, not mfaktc. This is ridiculous. You're screwing us on Windows...please fix/implement so it works properly there too. |

Posted 19 Apr 2020 by bluestang Started running this task yesterday evening on the second device but it was going to device 0 by default even though it said device 1. What is your cc_config and app_config setup? I was able to run 2 instances to get both GPUs to work on 1 WU ea, but now with the changes (and who knows what was changed as no one knows apparently) it will only run on my 1st GPU no matter what I've tried. I'm on Windows 10 with 2xc 1660ti.. |

Posted 19 Apr 2020 by bluestang <cmdline>-d 0</cmdline> (or -d 1) no longer works like it used to to be able to tell which GPU to use. On Windows 10 with NVIDIA GPUs. EDIT: Had to reset Project as it still had the job_GPU72_x63c_00002.xml file in the folder. After a reset everything working like it was before the change. Let's hope it stays that way. |

Posted 19 Apr 2020 by bluestang This project just turned into a clusterf*ck with the WUs being aborted and even the finished ones by some will get no credit now...WTF! Not trying to be a dick, but think about WtF you're doing before you do it without giving some sort of advanced notice first. You know you can send notices to the BOINC manager right lol. |

Trial Factoring - new subproject (beta)
(Message 6097)
Posted 10 Apr 2020 by bluestang It's always been like that from the start. Only difference now is the amount of time it takes to actually complete after it hits 100%. By far worse on AMD than NVIDIA. I think NVIDIA is pretty accurate as it looks like it tracks time properly with Progress Bar. I thinks it's a good idea to put hat info out there so people don't abort. I knew that it was doing work still as my I look at my GPU utilization before doing anything drastic like aborting them after running for so long. Also, is there ckeckpoints? If I have a power issue or have to reboot do I loose my current work up to that time or is there a checkpoint saved for it to go back to? |

Posted 10 Apr 2020 by bluestang The Progress bar is no where accurate. It gets to 100% fairly quick compared to the runtime of the WU, but then is there at 100% for a long time still computing until it is actually finished. |

Posted 3 Apr 2020 by bluestang I'm beginning to think AMD needs the "-d xx" format and NVIDIA is fine with the "-d x" format? Or is it because it's Linux? |

Posted 31 Mar 2020 by bluestang On one of my systems I have a HD7950 (Dev 0) and a Vega 64 (Dev 1). If I include the following in the options section of my cc_config.xml file: Yes, on NVIDIA. Not on AMD. |
