Re: [climateprediction.net] New study going out to volunteer's machines
I found this OpenIFS dashboard that has statistics on test and main batches.

Re: [climateprediction.net] New study going out to volunteer's machines
The Helsinki scientists will be transferring the data from the upload server to their own server via the network according to this post by Glenn Carver. If they are doing this in real time then that could add to the network load at Jasmin. I haven't seen any network issues yet on my end. I believe t...

found the cores running universe tasks @3.4 GHz and the cores running OpenIFS dropped to 4.1 GHz. I'm pretty sure I'm wrong on this observation. The 3.4 GHz must be part of the "snapshot". Maybe an average #? mark@x32-linux4:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'cpu MHz' cpu MHz : 2200.000 cpu MHz...

Re: [climateprediction.net] Linux work *perhaps* coming up in quantity
When I started processing this latest batch, I set it up to run 6 tasks simultaneously on each 16 core Zen processor (2-3950X, 2-5950X). By default, I had one core feeding a gpu on each computer (FAH and MW). Eventually, I started seeing a few errors so I checked clock speed (cat /proc/cpuinfo) and ...

Re: Installing AMD drivers on Linux
How to Install the Latest AMD Drivers on Debian 10 Buster
I noticed this article recommends installing mesa-opencl-icd for opencl support. Mesa opencl will not work with boinc projects so you will still need the opencl support files from AMDGPU drivers listed above.

Re: Installing AMD drivers on Linux
Yes, my only experience is with the Radeon VII. I believe the last AMD proprietary driver for the 280X was released in 2015 (Crimson Edition 15.12). This driver supported Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS, 14.04.2. I doubt this driver will install on Debian 10. There is this post by Gary Roberts at Einstein which ...

What about a touchscreen monitor + an intel PC stick?
I've never used one but it seems like a possible "low end" solution.
