Upgrading the server

Posted 26 Mar 2021 by Aurum Over 27,000 WUs queued and ready for BOINCers to DL. Looks like you upgraded the server and you're more than ready for the next Race Day. |

World Gene Expansion Challenge 2021
(Message 2263)
Posted 10 Mar 2021 by Aurum That's why I'm confidant that switching the server to supply only 2 WUs per CPU thread would work great and mean that one could only bunker about 8 hours of work instead of several days worth. I heard that some at SETI did that. They made a custom BOINC client or something like that. Claimed it helped them make it through workless Tuesdays. I switched back to Resource Zero. |

I didn't say that there was no bunkering going on.Yes we all know that TN-GRID could put a faster server to good use. BTW, tasks in progress normally at TN-Grid:I don't bunker but here's what I think happens. First, increase your queue to request as many WUs as you can get. Then run them but don't return them until after the race starts. With a slow work generator this makes it likely that all WUs will be depleted. Since this project has quorum 2 this works in my favor. Since I return all my WUs immediately my bunkering wingmen hold the 2nd Q WU until after the race starts and so push my recent credit into race points. The Science Status page showed the rate dropped from 55/day to 44/day yesterday and now it's back up to 51/day. Since it's a 10-day average the dip was actually bigger. I'd enjoy seeing a long term graph of the work rate. Before the race I was running TN-GRID as my only CPU project with Resource = 0. It runs really good that way or as a backup project. That's why I'm confidant that switching the server to supply only 2 WUs per CPU thread would work great and mean that one could only bunker about 8 hours of work instead of several days worth. The good news is that the work is getting done. |

Posted 8 Mar 2021 by Aurum Bunkering is not the reason for work scarcity. If you say so, but then why have my Validation Pending WUs grown to 6600??? Flood gates open at noon UTC today... |

Posted 7 Mar 2021 by Aurum Will there be some WUs ready to be send tomorrow? Just Say No to Bunkering. They should use the 2 WUs per CPU thread mode and we wouldn't run out. |

FMA application for windows_x86_64
(Message 2211)
Posted 16 Feb 2021 by Aurum And I get a better Application Name: gene_pcim (fma) It only makes sense that all i9s should work best using the same instruction set. Now to sort out the i7s and Xeon E5s. From what I've seen on i9 new builds that start with a fresh slate and run the test over all 3 instruction sets I'm seeing 7% improvement of fma over avx and 4% for fma over sse2. |

Posted 15 Feb 2021 by Aurum Tried Resetting the project and also detaching and attaching. Neither work. Still have computers stuck on the slow IS.Is there any way to trigger the Instruction Set retest??? I guess I have to learn how to configure an app_info file to force the correct IS. |

Posted 14 Feb 2021 by Aurum Is there any way to trigger the Instruction Set retest??? I ran CPU Benchmarks. Two computers changed a lot and that triggered it. Several computers are obviously running a slower IS. Wish I had a Trigger button to push. |

Posted 13 Feb 2021 by Aurum Other important factors while comparing computers, for our application, are the RAM speed and CPU cache size. I'd like to learn about this. |
