Joining Team Ukraine to show support?

[SystemVipers]

look to me like we're catching them

Also the project only works on GPU 0.

While there is no possibility to pass a GPU index from the boinc client to the application, there is however at least a possibility to manipulate the application itself to use a higher GPU index.

Then, if you want to run the application on more than one GPU at once, set up multiple boinc client instances and modify the application differently in each client instance. (Also, configure each boinc client instance to launch only as many tasks in parallel as you want to put per GPU, e.g. 1 task at once.)

Full details were posted in the Planet3D Now! forum by ydeeps on April 23, 2021, #574, #576, #577. GPU indexes on your computer may differ from the indexes in this recipe.

I used this, got it from @bluestang

used this in boinc instance 1

<app_config>
  <app>
    <name>TF</name>
    <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
    <gpu_versions>
    <gpu_usage>1</gpu_usage>
    <cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage>
    </gpu_versions>
  </app>
  <app_version>
     <app_name>TF</app_name>
     <plan_class>cuda112</plan_class>
     <cmdline>-d 0</cmdline>
  </app_version>
</app_config>

used this in boinc instance 2

<app_config>
  <app>
    <name>TF</name>
    <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
    <gpu_versions>
    <gpu_usage>1</gpu_usage>
    <cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage>
    </gpu_versions>
  </app>
  <app_version>
     <app_name>TF</app_name>
     <plan_class>cuda112</plan_class>
     <cmdline>-d 1</cmdline>
  </app_version>
</app_config>

it worked on win10 pro with 2 3060's in one rig
both show it running device 0 but I think the <cmdline>-d 0</cmdline> / <cmdline>-d 1</cmdline>
lines did the trick...

oh yea, nice job!

 

[mmonnin03]

Ah nice, I didn't know it could pass that in an app_config.

Pure math projects can really heat up processors. They can be highly parallel w/o any delays in branch fetching, no cache misses. Just full throttle all the time.

 

[mmonnin03]

TSBT must have made like 9million clients as they dumped 57.5m points in the last hour of day1.

Yea exciting finish for day 1,
nice numbers too

The daily totals look good too...

Well this looks like a big dog fight, but I will try to keep my junk running by not under-volting until Monday

I seem to tune projects to the very limits of my puters using "Trial by Failure" and I forget that when I run a new project that I need to retune.... This being a "Prime" example. Sorry.

It is probably not the best time to "tune" during a challenge, but I often "tune" my own micro!-processor with beer while home putering and we all know how well that works out. I have a 1030 around somewhere that I should add to this. HAHA...

 

[Endgame124]

I decreased the voltage on my 6700xt 4% - dropped the junction temp from 102c to 91c, and there is no apparent loss in clock speed. It certainly Makes the machine more tolerable too!

 

[Skillz]

Well I guess I'll throw more systems over on it. SRBase not playing nicely with multiple GPU systems means I wont have everything I got on it, but I'll be able to put a good amount on it.

 

[Kiska]

How am I suppose to read this?

Like what is the total points... Or am I suppose to rely on freedc?

Total points are not being shown. Not sure if that's by design or by mistake. If by design, then it's probably to help prevent people from manipulating the standings as easy since you can't easily determine how far ahead or behind you are.

 

[crashtech]

The stats at FB seem problematic at the moment.

 

[SystemVipers]

nice turnout...




catch you on the flipside / weekend ya

BTW, the <plan_class> values can be taken from https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/apps.php, "TF" section. Both <plan_class> and the device numbers (0, 1, maybe 2...) may differ from computer to computer.

There may even be computers which can receive more than one of the plan_class'es, in which case you would simply add more app_version blocks with the same content except for another plan_class.

In case anybody doesn't make it over to the Fornula BOINC forum, Skyman who is from Ukraine posted the following-

Thanks again to everyone for supporting the Ukraine team!

 

[Skillz]

Meanwhile, TSBT is recruiting SETI.USA members to help them. smh Those guys have zero class.

how do you know that? if so what a Dog move...

They're actively crunching under TSBT..



Several of these members are from SUSA-

 

[Icecold]

Which is hilarious because much like Russia invading Ukraine, their obsolete tactics, obsolete systems, and negative attitude towards improving the world will prove to be their undoing when they get crushed by Ukraine. Slava Ukraini



@SystemVipers if there's anybody at XS that wants to contribute to the cause but can't change team affiliation or doesn't want the backlash, I have a weak passkey I can provide and they can crunch anonymously.

 

[SystemVipers]

I just posted on FB but then took it down, figure give it time to develop, then drop the smart bomb.

But I do agree with this...

I will post your message on XS just as a lark, but it's a tough crowd too.

Damn I keep getting bumped down, I was in 6th yesterday now i'm reduced to 10th in RAC

/Maybe/ they simply want to help their Scottish pals to stay in front of the Francophones in this one. Remember, it's just a little DC sprint (and on a sketchy contest platform).

 

[SystemVipers]

Sill it's a dog move, they say they support but actions show self interest. But who am I to say
plus they should still be on top of france phones so it's about being #1 instead of supporting Ukraine with some DC community spirit!

 

[StefanR5R]

Some of them switched their country code to Ukraine. Matters in all-time by-country credits, but doesn't matter at Formula Boinc of course.

Boincstats has got easily accessible by-country stats, FreeDC doesn't.

 

[mmonnin03]

Now there are day stats for each day so we can see current progress.

scole at FB forum

skillz, you're making it difficult to stay ahead of laf. Please stop it

@skillz @systemvipers @icecold, SETI.USA is not competing in FB this. They chose not to register. The chaps that joined TSBT have only crunched for TSBT during any FB event this year. It's not like they've contributed to 2 or 3 different teams during the same FB sprint
