Posted 7 Oct 2023 by Prescott Post: My workstation I set to crunch this project has officially died. It was fun learning about your efforts! I will be back when the GPU's burn out on the other workstations. Thank you for the education on this subject! |

Posted 11 Aug 2023 by Prescott Post: Sorry for the dumb question, but are we thinking this is a BOINC problem with the newer version or an error with the hardware producer itself? |

Posted 2 Aug 2023 by Prescott Post: You have made it to August 2023! That is great! They should see the community support and at least give basic support (like storage space). I just recently joined so I am not sure if this has happened or not. But clearly, the project has worth since it still exists. |

Hyper-Threading on CPU
(Message 3500)
Posted 13 Jun 2023 by Prescott Post: If you wanted to do a quick timing test yourself, you can use the "Remaining (estimated)" column in the boinc manager. This value for an unstarted task is a good estimate of the average run time. Just make sure you have run a sufficient number of WUs so that the average is accurate (several hundred WUs should be good). Do it once for single threaded tasks, and then again for hyper-threaded tasks, and then compare the numbers. Preliminary data suggests a 58% increase in estimated time to completion based on BOINC estimated time to complete after several hundred WUs. The WU set they have been crunching is 4 Cobblestones less than the previous set and is only searching to 16 Cvec. Overall, it appears that it is completing more, but without additional data I cannot say for sure. |

Hyper-Threading on CPU

Posted 11 Jun 2023 by Prescott Post: Hi! I was not able to find an answer so I am posting here to ask! I know some projects discourage Hyper-threading on CPU's for certain tasks because it makes them slower/produce bad results. Excluding the issues from heat generation from HT, is there a problem with using HT for this project? Best, Prescott |
