Personal NumberFields Sprint, Eleven hours later: The Beast (Windows): 823,500 - 778,625 = 44,875 epyc-bunker-1 (Mint 20): 177,375 -151,375 = 26,000 (Oracle Virtualbox) 1 : 0.58 How well are Windows + VirtualBox balancing the load on a 64-thread SMT machine? If you have the time, try a similar test...

I just released the new app version for Linux Nvidia Cuda. I tested it on 100 WUs and it averaged about 33% faster over the previous Cuda version. I am now making these same improvements to the openCL versions. If all goes well, I should have new apps for Windows and AMD cards within a week. ( sour...

BTW, this is old news (mid December). Gerasim's RSS feed apparently doesn't contain publishing time stamps, and therefore the posting date is from when this news was fetched by the http://teamanandtech.org site code. I'll need to keep an eye on this feed. If it just clutters our forum, I shall disab...

For performance comparisons, the fact that NumberFields is using fixed credits currently is nice. But the run time variations are huge. On a high-core-count CPU, half a day of testing time is certainly appropriate, but more than that may be necessary on low-core-count CPUs. For quicker testing with ...

BTW, idle power consumption of Turing and Ampere is higher again than Pascal — as far as I have read. Also, I concede that 1070/1080/1080Ti are a little off-topic here, as you specifically looked for GPUs which don't give you the idea to run BOINC on them. My methodology for DC used to be having low...

Machine translation: Guys, there is something to look at here: https://classic.boincstats.com/en/stats/64/user/detail/3050/charts Excellent credits from fellow PDW. Is not it? 74 million a day ... p.s. I think there was some mistake here. How can we doubt the honesty of our dear comrade PDW? And by ...

1080Ti is generally at circa 8 W when idle (in Linux, measured by the board sensor). Or maybe more like 9 or 10 W for a GPU which displays an idle Cinnamon desktop, and 7 W for an unused secondary GPU.

If I remember correctly, 1070 and 1080 had the same idle consumption.

How well are Windows + VirtualBox balancing the load on a 64-thread SMT machine? If you have the time, try a similar test while SMT is disabled in the BIOS. It is safe to say that virtualization comes with a mininum of performance hit when set up accordingly. The business of cloud providers depends ...

I went ahead and created two topics sub-forums. But if there are better ideas for the titles and descriptions, I'll be glad to apply any. Edit: when I moved several threads into the new forums, the posts were marked as unread again. For me at least. If they show up as unread to you too, then I am ap...

TLDR: remote code execution vulnerability fixed in FAHClient v7.6.20 vulnerability existed if you ran client remote control over a public network generally, DON'T use FAHClient remote control over a public network — restrict it to your LAN, or use a secure tunnel a.k.a. virtual private network (I ju...

I created this "Forum Issues" topic now and moved some threads from "The Camp Fire" in here. I also took the liberty to move some other threads from The Camp Fire into "Distributed Computing News" and "The Market", and extended the description of "The Mar...

I don't have a comparison between Haswell-EP and Broadwell-EP, which seems to be the point here. But there is some other data if you copy+paste Some arbitrary performance measurements into the search box at the top and hit the magnifying glass: The 14-core E5-2690 v4 gives 0.7 of the performance of ...

crashtech , good to hear that at least the CPUs seem to be in working condition. But it's strange and a bummer that the upgrade of the Asus board didn't work. I've got no experience with Asus server boards myself. I have a monoculture of Supermicro boards here. I did have painful experiences with A...

I don't know. Intel certainly test it when they manufacture these.

Maybe the BIOS version does not bring up the QPI links correctly.
Or maybe one of the CPUs has a damaged QPI link.

I suppose you have checked the reported model number when you booted with only one socket populated, to verify that these are genuine. Are they production samples, or ES?

Last year's challenge consisted of the entire [H]ard|OCP team (no sign-up), versus TeAm AnandTech members who signed up. Maybe have [H] members sign up too, and then make 3 teams. Edit: That'd be a lot more work for the stats master though.

BTW, prime findings can be reported to T5K either using the real name of the finder, or anonymously. It cannot be reported pseudonymously. If somebody prefers his found primes to be reported anonymously, then the reporting process can (and should) be sped up by the following settings in the project ...

Regarding my suspicion of GPU applications running on the wrong socket/ allocating memory at the wrong socket: Two boinc clients could be used in parallel, one started normally and used for CPU projects, and the other one started with an affinity mask which restricts it and its child processes to ru...

These i7s and the E5 have in common that some combined CPU and GPU projects workloads cause reduced GPU utilization unless the total thread count is restricted to the number of physical cores. IOW, in some cases it is required for top GPU utilization to leave Intel HyperThreading unused. But again, ...

Here is a current result of GFN-19 on Nvidia V100 : http://www.primegrid.com/result.php?resultid=1149989755 Stderr output <core_client_version>7.9.3</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <stderr_txt> geneferocl 3.3.3-2 (Linux/OpenCL/64-bit) Copyright 2001-2018, Yves Gallot Copyright 2009, Mark Rodenkirch,...

crashtech , GTX 1080Ti are running identically on i7-7700K/Linux and E5-2696 v4/Linux. Only the pre- or postprocessing portions of an application which run some calculations on the CPU only (e.g. the first part of the Amicable application) are respectively slower on the Xeon. Note however that this...

GFN-21 has not been updated because it's still capable of running the FP64 transforms, which are the fastest. Another app for the Radeon VII. :) Maybe I'll try it out during the PG GPU challenge later this month unless of course, it's need elsewhere. :) I think the announcement refers to FP64 usage...

From the "Genefer 3.3.5 testing" thread: This new version is a CPU app. The transform of genefer 3.3.4 for n <= 20 was based on the x86 extended precision format (80-bit) implemented in the Intel 8087. "x87" is still available for backward compatibility but is slow today. genefer...

Gaia is a probe which was stationed into the L2 Lagrangian point years ago, and is surveying billions of stars of our galaxy. The goal is, put shortly, to create a hi-res 3D star map. Yesterday, ESA released further results of the Gaia mission: " Gaia’s new data takes us to the Milky Way’s ant...

On Saturday, Nov 28 the admin posted : I just come back from hospital. I had heart attack on 21th and been in hospital since 23th (yes, Emergency team doesn't take me to hospital straight after heart attack) and got two stents in my arteries and two month "holidays" from all activities. Bu...

I've always gotten the feeling the Primegrid races that are between all teams and happen a bunch of times throughout the year are pretty 'friendly' as well and you have a chance of finding a very large prime number. In recent PrimeGrid challenges, there was always also at least one big University d...

57 years lifetime seems pretty good for a structure of this kind. November 19 news item from UCF: https://www.ucf.edu/news/arecibo-observatory-telescope-to-be-decommissioned-after-second-cable-break/ The goal is to bring down the telescope, which includes the platform and Gregorian Dome and keep as ...

The work has been completed more quickly than we originally thought

I have my theories about that. ;-)

Hmm, I dunno, could be a default automatism. There is a distinction between new accounts and normal accounts, and I think the forum software moves accounts from the former to the latter group according to some criteria; I haven't looked for respective documentation yet. One criticism of forums . ana...
