@ Sgt. Joe: I'm sorry if it came across that way. That was far from my intention.
I thought the indefinite 'Americans' covered 'some' - certainly not 'all'.

@ Aurum420: The tulips did not arrive in the Netherlands
from their native Turkey until AD 1593.
By that time the Vikings were history by several centuries ...

And, yes, switching team could be a problem for a captain.
We had Captain smpell of team Crunchers 4 Life appoint his brother
as a stand in captain of his team while he was away Base Camping, though.
For that bravery he received a Rosie

Then there is the option of creating a ghost captain .....

Flying KLM, I use to fly to København over Amsterdam
Normally - i.e. without Covid - I was supposed to spend this week in København for giving trainings; finally I have to do it as a web training (alone in my office)
I like København

With GPU WUs getting closer a reminder that this really works and has cut my electric bill bu about 30% with minimal reuction in throughput. I dropped the fan control since it makes the fans churn up and down making a lot more noise. Nvidia controls the fans better without it.

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -pm 1
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -acp UNRESTRICTED
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -i 0 -pl 160
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1"
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=400" -a "[gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=100"

That's for a single GPU. If more than one GPU expand it like so:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -pm 1
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -acp UNRESTRICTED
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -i 0 -pl 160
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1"
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:1]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1"
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=400" -a "[gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=100"
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:1]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=400" -a "[gpu:1]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=100"
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1" -a "

Use [3] for Pascal (e.g. GTX 1080) and [4] for Turing (e.g. RTX 2080). I'm not sure about this parameter. My 2080s run fine with [3]. If someone understands this parameter please illuminate us.

Then make the script executable:
sudo chmod +x BOINC_PL.sh
Then run coolbits once the first time to enable it:
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration
You can look in the config and scroll down to make sure it took:
sudo xed /etc/X11/xorg.conf
There should be a Section that looks like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "True"
Option "Coolbits" "28"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
If you find a more energy efficient set of parameters please share.

Hello clock cycle volunteers,
Back to the topic the OP had in mind...it is early Sept in the southeast US and soon the A/C in our office will be turned off for the year. THEN I can fire back up the offline machines that I dedicate to this project...sorry, I'm happy to donate clock cycles but I don't really want to pay for the additional air conditioning here in the office too.
