Ahh.. the joys of moving = new place, new weather.. Tornado watch for the area.. may actually mean fewer patients... I work in a pediatric urgent care facility.. noon - 9pm weekdays, 10am-7pm on weekends.. wish me luck.. Dr. Mike.. ![]() We all wish you luck. As a Father and an Grandfather, I can tell you that so many count on you caring for their most precious children. Great Job. Great Career. |

CPU MULTI-THREADING AT AQUA What Do MOT Members Think About This???? News AQUA's multi-threaded applications and BOINC 05-June-2009 Like using CUDA cards, multi-threading is a way for us to shorten the run time of our work units. Multi-threaded applications are new to BOINC, so you will see behavior such as one application using all the cores in the computer. Please allow such work units to continue running. BOINC makes sure that all projects you are subscribed to will receive a fair share of your computing resources. We need your help in getting this research done. Thank you for your support! AQUA's application supports Multi-Processors on Windows, Linux, and Mac 04-June-2009 Up to now AQUA used to employ a single core to process its data. Starting with version 2.18, AQUA's appication uses multi-threading to use multiple cores and speed up its computation. 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms are supported. AQUA's application uses OpenMP to create and manage its threads. So now AQUA uses either CUDA or OpenMP (but not both at the same time) to decrease its execution time. For those that may not understand, this means that ONE GPU wu uses your GPU and part of a CPU and ONE CPU wu uses ALL of the other cores. “They say” it will coexist with other projects but I have not tested it as I do not run AQUA CPU jobs. “They said” AQUA GPU would coexist with other GPU projects but that was not the case up to app 3.17. I have not tested it since then. As far as I can tell you cannot turn off multi-threading. I would be interested in what MOT members think about this as it may be used in other projects too. I’m not sure what I think about it. I am liking AQUA as a project less and less every day. I'm uncomfortable enough with us crunching for a for- profit company. Multi-threading their WU's is flat out wrong. Yes, BOINC is supposed to manage resource share but they're hogging your machines. You choose to crunch multiple projects and they're saying "Up yours, we're going to monopolize your CPU anyway. Yes, BOINC is supposed to not impact you using your machine for other tasks but, if they mess anything up, their screw-up could adversely impact how BOINC and DC crunching is perceived by users. As the Lost In Space robot said: "DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!" I just completed one of those multi-threaded wu's. 30 hours, and only 5,000 credits. I used to get 40,000 credits for 12 hours of GPU crunching.All-in-all, though, it didn't really seem to affect the other wu's at all. WCG is cruning away like nothing was sharing it's core, and GPUGrid - Well, it's GRUGrid and it's rock solid.
BIG BANG THEORY: In the beginning there was nothing... which exploded
