I didn't think that your mobo would care. If the CPU fits, and it'/ a 64-bit processor, then it goes.
If you're trying to upgrade an existing 32-bit install, this is when you usually will encounter this problem. (i.e. you're starting the installation from within a win32 install)
But if you do...
Yeah, I tried looking at a spreadsheet with data to find the optimal card for TCO, SWaP, and efficiency ($/ppd) and ended inconclusive mostly because the projects were changing, so not consistent enough testing acrossed the board (by using the same set of WU for data collection as the different...
BTW...for those that might be running into idle "issues", you might be interested in reading this:
It appears that there are two "modes" that this "error" state can manifest:
for CPU slots, make sure that the number of threads is an even number. It seems that if you let it auto select, and you...
a) Dayuuummmm..... 53 million. *phew*
b) The cost of entry into the top 20 is rather "expensive". VirtualLarry is right now at #20 at 545k ppd. You're not making it easy for those that are primarily folding with CPUs to get on that list. lol...
a) Not sure if anybody was having this issue as well, but apparently my cpu:10 slot was having problems picking up a WU since the-day-before-yesterday, hence the slight drop off in PPD. (Fixed that by closing and ending the process and then starting it back up again.)
Was trying to run the...
You can read some of my earlier posts on this thread about how many threads to set your CPU slot to due to issues with Folding@Home's WU assignment server (not being able to assign WUs to slots that only have/use 7, 11, etc. threads).
FYI...I'm having a minor stability issue with my in-house electrical circuit.
(The two folders plus the two servers all running of the same outlet and circuit as the back half of the house - circuit breaker will trip when wife plugs in/runs the vacuum cleaner. Currently pulling close to 1300...
Unrelated to folding, I've got two systems that's folding, one that's running computational fluid dynamics (CFD) right now, plus two data servers with a combined raw storage capacity of about 90 TB, excluding bulk data storage on each of the systems.
So, my total power consumption if closer to...
So here's a serious and practical question - based on the best projections, I'm likely only to generate about 6 million points for the entire month what you guys will do/be able to generate in a day.
Is it really still worth it for me to participate?
I'm not so sure if it matters or whatnot.
I'm using just the default Windows Task Manager.
TB has no impact on the results, but rounding to the units precision does and very well do/might.
e.g. my 3930K with all 6-cores running/active, HTT enabled, I've got a cpu slot with 10 threads going...
They're about $3200 a piece from B&H Video.
The difference is that with this, I can probably justify it as a business expense since I can run the finite element analysis on it, but with the GTX 1080s, I can't do the same.
It'd be housed in a Supermicro 2U server if I go that route. (Not...
Yeah, but the problem with that is that the 1080s would only be good for folding whereas if I get six Teslas, I can use that for FEA as well.
I think that the K40 is on the gpu.txt list.
(Yes, yes it is. It was added 20 Nov 2013.)
For those that are wondering, I might have some answers to some of those questions that people were asking (e.g. for GPU folding, does it need a physical core or will a logical core suffice?)
It doesn't look like that a physical core is absolutely required in order for it to run the GPU slot at...
Seems like with the new v7 client, it is harder to do configuration testing than it did with the v6 command-line client. We used to do a bunch of configuration testing for PandeGroup (between driver versions, HTT on/off, etc.) because we would keep the WU that has been uploaded back to the...
I am running nVidia driver version 365.19 on both of my systems. Do you think that this would be an issue or should I update both of those drivers? Or does it not matter?
Any advice/insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Try this - so that I can try and help you debug it (because I have a feeling that you're encountering the same or a very similiar problem that I ran into when I fired up my systems).
On all of the systems, can you list your CPU, your GPU (if/where appliable), how many cores your CPU has, and...
Playing a bit with the settings and optimising it.
It's weird because apparently, if the number of threads is a prime number (or multiples of a prime number), it has problems getting WUs, but if it isn't, then no issues.
So with 6 cores on one and 4 cores on another, and a GPU each, that puts...
lol....thanks for your input.
I'm pretty sure that wife would kill me right now if I dropped $2400 on video cards for F@H for this ca. month's worth of competition.
That's rather surprising.
The GTX Titan (regular, not X, Z, or Black) Superclocked is currently averaging an estimated 240k PPD...
Gotcha. Thanks.
I've taken the system that has the Quadro off completely now, for a similar reason - the CPU only PPD is too low.
Sadly, my 4-core 3930K+GTX 660 and one 6-core 3930K+GTX Titan Superclocked will likely yield around 300k PPD, so that's what my contribution to this is going to...
What kind of PPD do you get with it HTT on on your 3930K?
And if you were to turn HTT off, what kind of PPD would you be getting?
(I'm only asking because it might be worthwhile for me to it turn it back on if it yields some measureable benefit.)
Hahaha....my 3930K with the Quadro 5000 - the...
I realise this, but you're running it with HTT enabled?
(All of my 3930K systems have HTT disabled, and the only one that I've got it enabled on is my 6700K, but there's no discrete GPU in that one, so I'm not sure how well it will or won't handle running it sans discrete GPU.)
Is there any...
Is there any real performance advantage by leaving HTT enabled?
It's been a while since I've folded.
And what's the reasoning for leaving a physical CPU core open for a GPU slot? Can you clarify please? Thank you.
Does anybody know if there is any real performance differences between Windows and Linux F@H clients anymore?
I've also recently read that the bigadv has ended as of Jan 31 2015, so would there be any real use for me to continue using either the --client-type=bigbeta flag in the console client...
