1) Message boards : Number crunching : w/u run time (Message 1643) Posted 20 days ago by mikey Post: Mine are running almost 6 hours on a Ryzen 3950X (Ubuntu 20.04.3). The last batch was only about 30 minutes. I am new to this project and had only the short w/u so far. 2 w/u per thread makes more sense now. My processing went fro 50mins or so to 10+ hrs. All well then Nairb Would you mind posting your app_config file so the rest of us can try that too? I'm also wondering if there is an upper limit to how many cpu cores you can throw at it and it still runs faster.
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Project fills CPU use to 100% although "Use at most xx% of CPU time" is set (Message 1578) Posted 15 Mar 2022 by mikey Post: ... Personally i prefer to set the maximum concurrent running task by reducing the % o CPU and leaving CPU time at 100% For example on your i3-4030u (4t) you can set % of CPUs between 50 and 74% to run 2wus, 75 to 99% to run 3wu ... Yes, reducing number of concurrent tasks may be better solution than percent of CPU time. Indeed - this is not a Sidock problem, it happens with many projects. Boinc put this option in which doesn't work, or relies on something most projects don't use. The new total 64bit version of Boinc was supposed to have better control of that kind of stuff but with the Developers being 100% volunteers now due to their loss of funding, Boinc proved it's original grant funding theorem many years ago, the Developers are working to keep things running not implementing any new features. The existing version of Boinc is a hodgepodge of both 32 and 64 bit stuff, one reason it can't see more than 4gb of ram on a gpu, but it does work for the most part.
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : не получает задания (Message 1577) Posted 15 Mar 2022 by mikey Post: снова не получает задания, теперь пишет постоянно 15.03.2022 23:12:51 \| \| [network_status] status: don't need connection Some of the Servers are in Russia and as you are aware alot of their internet is having 'issues' right now, that has made me responding here from the US almost painful, but to your problem...when it says "don't need tasks" it means your other Projects have already filled your cache on that pc, one thing that does work sometimes for me when that happens is I Suspend all other Projects and then click Update in the Boinc Manager pane that lists all the Projects. As I said sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, it depends on how close to being totally full your cache already is. My cache is set to 0.5 and 0.25 so I never have alot of tasks anyway, one workaround for me is to increase the cache size, WHILE all the other Projects are suspended, then click the Update button again and see if you get some tasks, if you do you can then reduce your cache size and then unsuspend all the other Projects.
4) Message boards : News : Project status: March 2022 (Message 1576) Posted 15 Mar 2022 by mikey Post: Due to the community request, we also plan to add official Mac and ARM64 support for the underlying CmDock software. Great news! Thanks! I totally agree with this, my Mac has been doing other things but it would be nice if it was here too. I have some RPi's as well but they aren't running at the moment but I LOVE the ability to bring them here when they do come back online.

6) Message boards : News : SiDock@home is whitelisted in Gridcoin (Message 1067) Posted 5 Jul 2021 by mikey Post: I'd definitely be interested in seeing some graphs of how much processing power was there before the poll and now :) Hello! :) Before: ~ 18000 tasks in progress. Now: ~23000 tasks in progress. Thank you very much! It would be nice to see the same numbers in another week and then 1 month post being whitelisted, and then 2 months as I suspect there may be a drop off as the 'newness' where's off. BUT I hope the initial surge stays even if some people go and others come.

8) Message boards : Number crunching : Got 0 new tasks (Message 49) Posted 1 Nov 2020 by mikey Post: You can limit the task in progress for a user or core. But then the problem becomes what if we don't show up and the tasks sit there uncrunched, it's a balance for all projects ie...do I make a million tasks and hope people show up or do I make 10k tasks and some people don't get tasks. Since thie Project is about todays Science personally I would go for the later and hope the answer I'm looking for is in the first 10k tasks.
