@ Thargor Best wishes to you and your family.


@ Ian_UK

Those numbers you quoted seemed far greater than anything I was doing, 1+1=8minuts, 1CPU+0.333GPU=~21miutes. And it also appeared that my GFLOPS peak was all the way down at about 480?! So I went searching for a problem, it appeared the drivers and GPU monitoring/OCing tools I installed when I built this computer were limiting the core speed to a fixed 705mhz, when the base should have been 965, boosting to 1045. So I uninstalled everything and used driver sweeper to clear all the bits I might have missed. Reinstalled it all and got PrecisionX from evga to monitor the GPU. The result, I have seen base at 965 and boosts as high as 1110 (which seems a little too much so might limit it back.)

Initial test have given me these data;

CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 670 (driver version 310.90, CUDA version 5.0, compute capability 3.0, 2048MB, 1858MB available, 2810 GFLOPS peak)

With a single HCC WU completion time of 7:40 which is basically what I was getting before. I'll try running multiple WUs again over night and see if I post any better number that the last time I tried.

@ Thargor Commiserations on the loss of your grandmother.

The UK team has passed University of Texas at Dallas in the Results rankings and moves to #66

I'll publish a full update on Targets and Threats later today, as the continuing strength of the UK team's performance is causing major changes.

@ crooks_uk

Summarising opinion I'd say:

i. Keep the team name the same.

ii. Close this thread (and lock via email to Admin) and start a new one.

iii. Only one comment about the initial sentence - the 100 characters visible on the Thread Summary - don't use formatting. The text is down to your choice so something along the lines of Join the UK team, the largest, friendliest and most active British team on WCG followed by some general info on the team. (And if you wanted to include the image below in the initial post...... )

As you pointed out a while back, there's a 120 day period to amend the initial post of the new thread if there's a problem.

Anything and everything to encourage new WCG members, or casual forum browsers, to join the UK team.

TBH, I have given up trying to work anything out for HCC GPU, as you say, the Pending varies widely and I never seem to be able to drop below 26 pages of Pending Validation (I fluctuate between 26 - 49 pages of Validation / 0 - 6 pages of Verification, sometimes within the same day), and from Friday - Tuesday, my updates seem next to worthless.

If it is any help at all???, here is a comparison between the last full 7 days Running x8 GPU on a HD 7770 / x2 GPU on a HD 6570 & No GPU at all (the system it's self is an i7-870 2.93ghz, 16GB Ram, Win7 Pro 64bit):

10/10/2012 0:008:17:43:43 29,725 32

One large variable in those figures is that at each of those times above, I may well not have been running the same project (I have a tendency to set smallish targets on one project and go for that rather than open my full resources to all projects at once), also the weekend slowdown in results validating is also another variable.

@ Jonnieb-uk: How do I get WCGDAWS to talk to each system?, I have given up trying, I have tried everything I can to get it to talk to my other systems, but no luck? (that said, the only thing I haven't tried is to install WCGDAWS on each system, it's only on the system I use for browsing?).
