2019 Formula Boinc Sprints

I added a linux box, but it has not downloaded any tasks. I tried adding a 2060 and it just has computational errors. So for now, I just have one 1080ti, all my other cards are 2000 series.
 
I am also getting these error messages:

Your app_config.xml file refers to an unknown application 'acemdlong'. Known applications: 'acemdshort'


Your app_config.xml file refers to an unknown application 'acemd'. Known applications: 'acemdshort'

Nothing to worry about, it's because it hasn't seen any of those projects to crunch.
 
Thanks for helping, Mark. But as Stefan has noted in the past, SUSA only really Sprints after business hours. I had forgotten that, and saw a ray of hope for us back on Friday, but now I am making popcorn and seeing if CNT can keep from being steam-rolled! 🙂
 
So I only have 2 1000 series cards left, one on linux, and one windows, The linux one won't get WU's. So I only have one card to help with.,

Yeah, Linux and RTX are not supported by GPU Grid as of yet (hopefully will come soon)

This is exactly what has/is happened/ing as O.K. states:

Well, since its over, I turned it off. Make sure and let me know anytime you want help on a project. My computers are always being updated. Like now I have 2 3900x's and only one Xeon 14 core.

I'm not there either Mark 🙁

I am not on the TeAm's stats for GPUGrid either/either, or either(3rd)....but I know why.....Shenanigan's, TomFoolerie's, I've been a reprobate-rapscallion-miscreant, at least to some other teams. I like to think of myself as a freedom fighter though, along with a few naughty pals. 😉
 
That won't really be to my advantage, since I won't have any time to reconfigure for bunkering after the Sprint and before going away. Ah well.
 
I might try that, if I had half your skill! Maybe I will try at least a bit, but there's lots of preparation involved for me to be able to leave for a week. Seti will unfortunately be pretty far down the list!
 
Noob question,as always...is there an app_config for this one?

Best on Nvidia, AMD, or is it processor only?

Yes, there is an app_config, but the contents may vary somewhat depending on the CPU. Also you might want to check out the Lunatics custom app, it helps tremendously with speed, at least in Windows. I think I read somewhere that the new stock Linux app is fastest of all...?

Thanks Crash - I've got it up and running on a few boxes now for testing. One thing I noticed is that my Windows PC has downloaded 8 threads (i7 4770k) and is also running an nVidia CUDA thread, so 9 total. The nVidia thread is taking 30 minutes on this box, while it's only taking about 7 minutes to run on my Linux box. I'm guessing it's because the CPU is pegged and it's using 9 threads when the processor only has 8? Is there a way to limit the number of threads that run on CPU while also running a GPU WU?
 
I'm not sure if <max_concurrent>N</max_concurrent> where N is the number of tasks that you want to run will work in an app_info.xml file. It certainly works in an app_config.xml file. Try it in the appropriate app section of the app_info.xml file in your boinc seti directory.

<app>
<name>setiathome_v8</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>

If that doesn't work then it may be worth trying to create an app_config.xml file in the seti directory with this:

<app_config>
<project_max_concurrent>8</project_max_concurrent>
</app_config>

Hopefully this will drop one of the CPU tasks and not the GPU task.
 
In Boinc Manager Options>Computing Preferences, just lower the CPU usage limit until your GPU utilization comes back up. I don't run the CPU app because I thought it really wasn't worth it, especially on machines with few cores. But I might be wrong.

Edit: I see biodoc beat me to it! His way sounds better, maybe.
