This computer has finished a daily quota of 5 tasks I've just hit that issue on my slower machine, immediately after I had accidentally filled the cache with 30 new SN2S tasks (the maximum in one download request). That single-core machine has been completing about 2 tasks per day (CEP2 @ 12 hours each)! In my case it says it's a daily quota of 7 tasks  . Could you have hit the absolute daily maximum per machine, and it's the log message that is misleading (polite way of saying "wrong")?Tony: Now that makes sense and Thanks for this! Yea, at 40 every 75-90 minutes I would croak the maximums easily.. Thanks again..   |

You're welcome
 . Something weird has just happened in my case, though. Recently, around 19:40 GMT/UTC, the daily quota messages no longer occurred with each task request  . My finger trouble causing the big download happened at 06:02 GMT, that slow machine returned a single new result at 07:55 GMT, then no further result until just now (20:09 GMT). So what on earth caused the change from quota messages??It's not a problem - I have plenty of tasks to crunch  - but I'm just inquisitive about how it all works. |

I have cache set at 4 days min and nil extra
----------------------------------------One rig has 3000 tasks in queue, the other 2700 just now. The Single cpu which I started about 2 hours ago with a 2 day cache now has 760 tasks waiting.... and will likely get more. My recollection from when the major upgrade was done on the servers during the GPU era is that the cache limit was raised to 5000 tasks. Not sure how that is with any daily limit though.  |

Finished all the FAAH WU I had and been on the SN2S WU for app the last 10 hours. Seems to be getting app 20 WCG points per hour per WU but all over the place in claimed vs granted, assuming thats because of the wingman. Many doing the WU faster than I am as remember, this machine us just at 3047Mhz and thats not fast in todays world.
----------------------------------------The average has picked up and is climbing at a pretty good rate and had almost 80,000 at the 1/2 way point today with 4 pages of pending validation WU. |

I think most of SN2S is quorum of 1. The work units seem to bounce around a lot for me also regardless of the few that are quorum of 2. Probably how they are sized.

I had some testing to do tonight on memory so I lost app 3 hours crunching but waited till the day ended and wound up with over 135,000 WCG points and pending grew from 4 to 6 pages. I still think something isn't quite right and I'm almost sure it's in the memory..Working on it..

Just checked, machine is now claiming at a rate of 163,968 WCG PPD.. That's 24.4 WCG Points per hour of runtime per SN2S WU times 40 times 24 times 7( for the BOINC to WCG points conversion.
----------------------------------------Ok, That sounds more like it but yes, Linux is the smart way to go here.. I'm scared to think what this could do on linux!  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Movieman at Aug 28, 2013 8:23:59 PM] |

Swapped out the 10 core E5-2670's for the top 8 core Ivy Bridge E5-2687W V2's..Clocked them up to 3871Mhz( 36x1.0755 BCLK) and do these suckers pump some WU at this speed. 32 threads vs the 40 on the 2670's but an additional 800+MHz on each core makes a difference. Also heat is now a factor because to get stable at this speed required an additional 300mv on the cpu's..
----------------------------------------Given a choice for crunching the 10 cores are the better way to go IMHO.These are better for benchmarks,and single threaded apps because of the speed advantage but thats it. The 12 core E5-2697's at 2700/3GHz on turbo are the ones I would buy if I had my druthers for all around work. Controllable,reasonable temps and computational power combined BUT I can't find those..yet! [Edit 1 times, last edit by Movieman at Sep 8, 2013 6:31:02 PM] |
