So did I on the first fetch. Not so much on subsequent fetches.I got AVX units straight away fwiw
Good god. It takes a raspberry pi 2 days for 3 work units... I was thinking the points per watt would land in the Pi's favor, but maybe not.Seems to be a substantial time between reporting results and getting the second confirm in. I've had a dual-16 core system doing it for just under a day, and 377 WUs / ~200k points not awarded yet
I imagine a lot of resources are directed at Rosetta (or other COVID-19) projects at the moment. Therefore 'wingmen' double checking the results are perhaps a bit scarce. At least until the starting bell of the Sprint. I currently have 3189 tasks awaiting validation (3189 x 480 pts = 1,530,720 points in limbo), it climbs a bit daily, but eventually they will get double checked. If that happens during this Sprint, that would be nice.Seems to be a substantial time between reporting results and getting the second confirm in.

is there a way to set boinc to use a different number of CPUs at different times? During the day, I would like to use 1 cpu. Over night I would like to use all CPUs. Currently I have to set it to not run at all during the day...
Where does one put suggestions like that? In my case, the home theater pc needs to have minimal usage during the day - mostly to prevent the fans from spinning up and annoying family members. At night, it’s no problem to let it go full tilt.I am not running the most recent BOINC client, but I don't see an option for changing the percentage of compute power when I select Options/Computing Preferences/Daily Schedules. That is a great idea for the developers to try in incorporate into the next release! (if the newest version doesn't already have it.)
There is a way, but a convoluted one.is there a way to set boinc to use a different number of CPUs at different times? During the day, I would like to use 1 cpu. Over night I would like to use all CPUs. Currently I have to set it to not run at all during the day...
boinccmd --read_cc_config
and boinccmd --read_global_prefs_override
tell the client to re-read these files.From the 2nd to 3rd hourly stats update, trends are beginning to look a little more typical:Well we are off to a good start, but we have seen good starts deteriorate in the past, especially with such an easily bunkered project.
Hiya @Tejas_2 ! Good to see you lurking about, ole friend!
I took the lid off the top of the offending pi 3, and placed it right next to the top exhaust of my host with the 1660 super that is still folding. It gets just enough airflow that it looks like its going to run with all 4 CPUs and stabilize around 62C.I now have 3• raspberry pis contributing, watch out team, here I come!
•I may have 3 running, but I can only sustain 1 cpu on one of my pi 3s due to a poor heat sink installation. I used a tiny vga heat sink attached with what appears to be invincible thermal tape. Anyone have a trick to removing thermal tape? Do I need to let it get nice and warm first?
I'm already past that. :-PI am quickly approaching 4500 tasks that are waiting for a wingman
Wahoo! 480 points - go pi go!Asteroids@home
Well this time around things seem to be running well, so I will attempt to do some stats.
We are holding on to second at this time after starting out with a bang in the lead.
Maybe we can muster a few more PPD as we go along. Guess I picked a bad time to retire that old X6.
