Well, dankjewel, Aurum420, thank you. Let me know if you need any further assistance with that.

Question: Since I've looked at so many BIOS menus disabling HT I keep wondering about DRAM Frequency. It has a pulldown with choices from Auto to the max rating for installed DDR4. Often I find DDR4 2666 or 3000 is cheaper than 2400 so that's what I buy. But the X99 classes of CPUs only support either 2133 or 2400. Is there a technical reason to set DRAM Frequency to Auto or 2133 (or 2400)???

Is there a technical reason to set DRAM Frequency to Auto or 2133 (or 2400)??? Auto will typically be the most compatible, but not necessarily the fastest setting. I am running DDR4-2666 and found it easily OC's to 3200 mhz with a voltage increase (1.2 to 1.375). Have to adjust timings as well sometimes to get the full benefits and stability. |

So my pairs with & without HT have been running for about 3 days now. Here's my first look. Adri's API script was alsof er een engeltje over je tong piest.
---------------------------------------- I sorted by CPU time. Even though Rig-02 ran more WUs than Rig-24 hopefully over the course of 3 days they each ran about the same set of various WUs, e.g. shorter & longer ligands, rigid versus rotatable ligands, etc. My thinking is that if all hyperthreading does is double the number of CPUs and they shared resources in an either/or fashion then with HT it should on average take twice as long to run a WU if those resources are constantly needed. But since they don't always need the same resources processing speeds up with hyperthreading by 25.5%. ![]() ![]() ...KRI please cancel all shadow-banning[Edit 3 times, last edit by Aurum420 at Jun 14, 2020 11:10:57 PM] |

Dankjewel once again, Aurum420, thank you! ![]() I understand that it was easy to use and a pleasant surprise.With a myriad of options and possibilities to use wcgresults, creating anagrams with the -N option is fun to do. So far I came up with: $ wcgresults -N W1TH_LOVE LastChkpnt Estimated Est.Total slOt VirtMemory WorkingSet Name---------------- In the same vein: wcgresults -N SPL1CED_WOVEN wcgresults -N POWERFUL_DEV1CES wcgresults -N DEP1CT_WOLVES wcgresults -N P1VOTED_CLOWNS wcgresults -N CROPPED_T1TLES wcgresults -N CLOSED_VOWELS wcgresults -N TWO_P1CS_I_LOVED wcgresults -N POL1CEWIVES wcgresults -NOT_TWELVE_1DLE_CPUS ... and in case you wonder how this last one looks, see this: wcgresults -NOT_TWELVE_1DLE_CPUS ![]() [Edit 2 times, last edit by adriverhoef at Jun 16, 2020 9:40:56 AM] |

Adri
----------------------------------------tried "wcgresults -NOT_TWELVE_1DLE_CPUS" on my systems Works fine on Fedora 32 but on ClearOS (CentOS based) the slot column is a dash; example partial lines
Tony Edit It's 3 a.m. off to bed - will see if I can spot why tomorrow...

Hmm - when I said "tomorrow" it should have been later today
---------------------------------------- What timing! Just saw that boinc-client on ClearOS has an update waiting for me to install - not there yesterday... boinc-client was boinc-client-7.16.1-4.el7.x86_64 boinc-client updated is boinc-client-7.16.6-3.el7.x86_64 Fired up a genuine fully updated CentOS 7.8 box and "slOt" is OK - same version as ClearOS is now So boinc-client version related - as expected... Fedora 32 is boinc-client-7.16.6-3.fc32.x86_64 So what is the difference? examples (boinccmd --get_tasks)
Two extra lines in the newer version :- slot: 2 PID: 5823 So... only slot number on older version is the header 1) -----------

Ok - fired up an ubuntu i386 system - fully updated
----------------------------------------uname -r && boinccmd --version 4.15.0-106-generic boinccmd, built from BOINC 7.9.3
Again - only slot number is in the header...

Slotnumber can be read from the file ~boinc/client_state.xml, too, but I don't know which one is more accurate of the two, command 'boinccmd' or file '~boinc/client_state.xml'. Back when I started writing the script, every BOINC-'query' was based on 'boinccmd' and so it remained and still is. Maybe time for a rewrite of 'wcgresults'?
----------------------------------------Edit: To answer my own question, I think using boinccmd is less elaborate and more accurate. So you may need to try updating your boinc(-client) version, if you're missing something or find that you're missing out on something. Speaking of older versions of the BOINC software from the Linux repositories ... I was once bitten by a bug in boinccmd when the field fraction done was missing when a workunit was being uploaded or had been uploaded. On another occasion, the field suspended via GUI was absent, so that you couldn't always tell if a task was suspended or not. The current version, I have boinc-client-7.16.6-3.*.x86_64 installed, is adequate, luckily. ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by adriverhoef at Jun 17, 2020 11:30:03 PM] |

My 2 Cents:
----------------------------------------I have 2 nearly identical Ryzen 3700X machines with the same MB and RAM. Both machines have SMT enabled in the BIOS. Machine 1 running 8 WU's (50% CPU usage in BOINC) completed tasks in about 1 hour. Machine 2 running 16 WU's (100% CPU usage in BOINC) completed tasks in about 1 hour 55 minutes. [edit] Both Machines 1 & 2 are clocking at 4GHz while crunching. My 3rd machine is a 4c8t Xeon D1520 that clocks at 2.5GHz while crunching 4 tasks. It is finishing them in a little over 2 hours. [/edit] I decided that running the extra WU's on Machine 2 wasn't worth it compared to leaving the logical cores free to run the OS and other background tasks.
