Issue 1: neither of my intel GPU's are getting tasks (HD 520, HD 4600).
standard event log of requesting tasks for intel GPU, got 0 new tasks, delay of (-) seconds.
Issue 2: Project is not using one of my AMD GPU's correctly (AMD R5 240), Its a relatively slow GPU but it never goes past 7% usage with number Feilds tasks ultimately causing the task to eventually fail, while my AMD Rx 460 gets used at 98% consistently. My guess is that this specific GPU is not on the GPU table.

I am not an expert in computational number theory, but upon reviewing a bit the present code, I think that there is not a lot of improvement we can do without algorithmical advance or changing GMP for the CPU code. For the algorithmic part, it is clear. For GMP, it is because most of the computation is arithmetic using GMP, which means that the speed mostly depends on how GMP is doing. However, GMP is a generic arbitrary precision library, meaning that there are some internal managements that are done to check which algorithm to apply. This in general gives an overhead, and probably also forbids any kind of vectorisation except those already in GMP.

One idea is, from the CUDA code we can see that there is a natural bound on numbers that are used in the computation. If they all fit in 128 bits, then gcc supports __int128. Otherwise, it might (!) help the speed by using or writing an emulated type in which the numbers fit, like the one used in the CUDA code. In this way, at least gcc would have more clues to vectorize (or not!).

Please add the other sub-field badges. How many sub-fields are involved in this project. I currently have counts on Decic and Q(Sqrt[-10]). I have no counts on Septic.

Thanks

Hello

Information:

The Date in the Certificate of Computation (Account) is - 1 January 1970 - .
It should be the current Date Today (also).

I also see this right above the Certificate of Computation (Account) ..outside the frame:
Warning: time() expects exactly 0 parameters, 1 given in /home/boincadm/projects/NumberFields/html/user/cert1.php on line 27

This should be corrected.

Thank you in advance.

In worst case is it possible to organize the server at home. I think it should not be very powerful: i7/32GB/10TB.

I think our communitee can help with all expenses (hardware, electricity, new domain etc) if you organize donations.

Similar to Primegrid:

Thanks all for your comments. The problem is not the cost of the hardware, and I could even donate that myself to the University if it would help. I think the biggest issue is the server maintenance. I don't actually work for the University, so they need to get the IT department to do the install of any donated hardware (if they will even accept it), and that's a hassle for them. They had no problem doing it for a tenured professor, but now there is no one to fight that battle. If I was more of a people person and knew who's butt to kiss I might be able to make it happen, but that's not who I am. Anyways, I hope the hardware has several more years left in it, so this all becomes a mute point.

It sounds like the University owns the server. Is there a possibility that they might want to repurpose that server for something else sometime in the future and you lose the entire server?

I'm still looking forward to your future publications on current search. The cost of a publication may be way more than a new hard drive. So will we continue the project without the possibility to publish our results? Or better show the university that this project needs more funding by publishing our results and hopefully attract some grants. NFS@home said disk storage is cheap now. I don't want to see Numberfields@home being stopped by this.

I'm very sorry to hear this!! Is there a way you can put up a donation link to fund a new hard driver etc now so when you need one the amount needed is at least than a complete shutdown?

Hi,
is it maybe possible not to overclock the calculating activity for clients?

It is interesting, when are you going to resume Search 3?

Is the count that the badges are based on shown on the User page ??

I have the following counts on my page is one of them the one ??

Decic count 87
Septic count 11,258
ℚ(√-10) count 1

Cool! How many fields do you need for every color? 10 - 50 - 100?

So, how do i know what my status is on sf7? (or any subfield) Will you also break out those stats on our account page?

The counts are implemented, I just need to add the software hooks to display them on the various web pages. Until I do so, you wont know your status.

If nothing else works, I can manually add the other team member as an admin for you. Just let me know.

Yes, I did everything correctly and I started again several times.
If you can do it manually, I would appreciate it :)
