If you want to load some extra tasks, asteroids at home is very light on ram. I’ve been using it at my “extra” project when I run out of ram on different hosts. I figure having a map of the asteroids floating around is probably on the plus side of human healthI really wish i had this extra ram i feel so useless only being able to do 13 tasks I did have more running over night as most tasks used less memory then i guess some gained traction and used like ALL of the memory just about and we are right back to 13 right now. Guess 13 really is my lucky number.

There is also world community grid (working on covid) and TN grid doing, but I don’t know how much ram they useWould need convincing, my build is mostly used in my craft of healing/mending well at least the attempt as much as possible when not gaming. I should have my stimulus on the 13th so its not that much longer by Saturday at latest i will have the memory then i could open this up!

I believe this drop in power usage / heat is expected for the 3900x. As you add more cores, eventually AMD has to drop the power going to each core. This less power to each core slightly decreases thier speed, but puts them more in the “sweet spot” regarding the power / performance curve. See here:Well i finally did it unless i get some of those demanding tasks from Rosetta pushing 1gb+ per task i have officially loaded up 23 of my 24 threads on my 3900x. Not sure what sorcery is going on but fully loading it actually dropped my temps? My room about 78f. This 3900x keeps on getting better and better, its like a Billy Mays commercial with him saying" but wait there's more!

Forget the video card upgrade. That 1080TI will equal or beat that 1650 super I think. I would wait until get you can an 850 watt gold or better PSU AND something like a 2080TI, maybe after the new nvidia cards come out.Been researching various video cards for part of my 50/50 work and play build here and a bit conflicted. Given what i currently play, i see a 1650 super in my future.Anything else from my benchmark showed a clear bottleneck and that was with 40% BOINC running . Less cpu usage pulling less frames results in more cpu for BOINC/Rosetta too. Kind of looking balanced for my objective in this build.
I may have asked this before but given i see 70w of usage according to Ryzen Master on this 3900x and i got a fully loaded 1080ti working off a x570 mobo is there a chance a 1650 super could play nice with a 650w Seasonic Focus 650w and that second slot at 16x running at x4 off the chipset? Stock of that X570 gb Auros Master is simply forever oos it appears like.
I was shown a benchmark of a 2080ti losing 8% performance in such a slot so i figured i would put the 1080ti in the bottom slot of my X570 GB Auros Elite,remove the soundblaster AE-5 as i want usb phones anyways then stick the 1650 Super in the top spot. It would be main driver/gamer/second folder.
I do want the X570 GB Auros Master, new psu then eventually some Ampere cards but that is like end of year and well this shortage of motherboards is dampering any plans anyways. I couldn't replace this board now if i wanted to so yeah that is why i have returned to the 16x slot at 4x speed deal.

On all of them, with the exception of Sprint of which the project and date have yet to be announced.What event we on currently?
Running Rosetta may be the best bet. You could run Amicable Numbers on the GPU, but that would leave very little RAM to run Rosetta in parallel.Do i do anything for this or do i leave my rig along, well minus the ram upgrade of course by Saturday.
I tried repeatedly to get 15 Rosetta processes and 1 amicable process running in 16GB with zram. I managed to fill up swap twice and cause the host to go non responsive. I’ve got one more trick to try in changing the compression to ZSTD, but I’m not sure how to do that just yet. Worst case I’ll Have to wait for my ram to arrive on Tuesday, then I’ll be able to move the 1080ti to amicable.On all of them, with the exception of Sprint of which the project and date have yet to be announced.
Cross Country hasn't started yet in the strict sense, but some of us are already computing for it in advance. (A.k.a. bunkering results.) Though as you saw in the prior discussion, Amicable Numbers is much worse than Rosetta with respect to RAM consumption.
Javelin Throw, with its special scheduling and scoring scheme, requires tight resource allocation. We have some people (see NumberFields section in Tony's Weekly Stats) who each set aside a certain fraction of their respective computers for a certain duration per "throw", and who coordinate via direct conversation.
As you can see, City Run has less than a day left. And in view of the circumstance that the Universe@home project may require quite a lot of time between when a user reports results and when the server can validate it to give credit, the practical end of this event is approaching very quick now indeed.
Running Rosetta may be the best bet. You could run Amicable Numbers on the GPU, but that would leave very little RAM to run Rosetta in parallel.
I wonder what the Sprint project will be, notably if it will be a medical one. (There is a whole bunch of more number-theoretical projects out there though, maybe we'll get more number theory in the sprint too.)
Past Pentathlon disciplines and projects are listed in the Pentathlon archive, timeline tab.
BOINC Pentathlon's site said:Due to network maintenance in our hosting provider's computing center, the Pentathlon website will be offline for up to 60 minutes between 18.00 UTC and 01.00 UTC. During this time, the statistics cannot be updated. If this happens to affect the final update for City Run and the initial update for Cross Country at 0.00 UTC, a backup server will fetch all the data and we will add them afterwards. However, as this requires manual database intervention, this might happen with a few hours delay. In another update fails, all credits will be counted automatically with the next successful update.
