Re: 2022 Additions or Retirements to your Crunching Hardware?

I've also recently started using a old video card(Gtx 1660ti 6GB) that I have had in storage. I'm amazed at how quickly it completes the tasks as compared to the CPUs

Re: 2022 Additions or Retirements to your Crunching Hardware?

For those wondering what a 13700k runs like:

11/5/2022 3:14:38 PM | | Number of CPUs: 24
11/5/2022 3:14:38 PM | | 6545 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
11/5/2022 3:14:38 PM | | 23584 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

MCM tasks complete in under an hour.

Edit:

Did a batch of MCM 7.61 work units. Shortest completion time was 36 minutes, longest was 43 minutes.

Re: 2022 Additions or Retirements to your Crunching Hardware?

Wow, that's insane, and that's probably per thread, too, and not per core. I bet the power draw on the Intel 13th Gen is pretty crazy though. What kind of cooling are you doing?

Edited to Add: Does BOINC handle the Performance/Efficiency architecture difference well? I think on Windows it requires Windows 11, and not sure what version of the Linux kernel handles those.

  • i5-4590 (Haswell, 4C/4T) @ 3.3 GHz
  • i5-3570 (Broadwell, 4C/4T) @ 3.4 GHz

Re: 2022 Additions or Retirements to your Crunching Hardware?

I'm doing air cooling so the CPU pulls about 210W - 200W and it hits the 100C thermal limit. It keeps running at 5.3 ghz at that temperature.

For 24/7 crunching I'd probably set the power limit to 150W - 140W. The temperatures are much more reasonable, below 80C and the processor drops to 4.8Ghz on the P cores; not that much loss in performance.

I think BOINC just throws tasks at all the logical processors it sees. The tasks running on P cores finish faster from what I can tell but I'm having trouble downloading tasks consistently right now so I can't run the full 24 tasks or give a good estimate of points / day.

Re: 2022 Additions or Retirements to your Crunching Hardware?

Am thinking about upgrading my Intel 3770 to something else.

Two years ago, when I started, I thought a 3770 was great coming from a Phenom II X4 955. Not, so much now.

I must say, I question the validity of these benchmarks compared to the tasks. A dual Xeon V2 2696 gives

│   Number of CPUs: 48                                                                                                                              
3672 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
80488 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU


and MCM tasks run about 3.5 hours (like MCM1_0193235_0415).
I don't see the enormous speed difference in the benchmark-results (unless they are truly per CPU, not per thread, but then it doesn't compute either).

Re: 2022 Additions or Retirements to your Crunching Hardware?

I ran the benchmark again:

12/10/2022 3:45:08 AM | | Number of CPUs: 24
12/10/2022 3:45:08 AM | | 6535 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
12/10/2022 3:45:08 AM | | 23193 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

I believe the issue is the November post was while the download issues were still ongoing. If the CPU isn't fully loaded, the performance cores can run at full power:

https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/contribution/workunit/226169634

In that case I get less than 1 hour MCM results.

With all 24 threads running, the power limit kicks in and I see 1 hour 20 minute give or take results:

https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/contribution/workunit/227628299

This is with 150W power limit since the temperatures and noise are a lot less crazy.
