21) Message boards : Number crunching : bundleN_testing "Computation Errors" (Message 69534) Posted 13 Feb 2020 by bluestang Post: Tried rolling back to my tried and true 18.7.1 driver and still Errors. What solved it was aborting all WUs and resetting the project in BOINC Manager. Live and learn as still not sure what the issue was, but seems to be running fine now.

I'm trying to figure out if my 280X is toast or what? This machine: https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?hostid=706999
23) Message boards : Number crunching : Radeon R9 280X for MilkyWay@Home (Message 69351) Posted 17 Dec 2019 by bluestang Post: Yep, great MW cruncher. Run 3 tasks per 280X.
24) Message boards : News : New Separation Runs [UPDATE] (Message 68995) Posted 30 Aug 2019 by bluestang Post: Hi everyone, Stripes 84 and 85 are beginning to return invalids, as was expected. I will pull them down in a couple days when I am back in the lab. Best, Tom Yes, please do as points have gone to the crapper because of all these invalids. Thanks.
25) Message boards : Number crunching : Resent Invalid and Validate errors de_modfit_85_bundle4_4s_south4s_1_ (Message 68880) Posted 8 Jul 2019 by bluestang Post: Yeah, same here with the really high Invalids. Evidently something is wrong on the project side of things. Hopefully an Admin gets in here and sees what's going on and it gets fixed soon as this is not good for us or the project.
26) Message boards : Number crunching : Run Multiple WU's on Your GPU (Message 68842) Posted 6 Jun 2019 by bluestang Post: update Radeon VII _ 3 instances , I have uploaded to youtube including config for 3three instances https://youtu.be/4xKy9wGKmz4 Nice! We could use someone like you on our Team :)

28) Message boards : News : New Separation Runs (Message 68623) Posted 30 Apr 2019 by bluestang Post: hi, i run my radeon vii 24hours, i noticed in between WU's downloaded from servers, it took 12minutes in between WU's download, not acceptable, if i manually click "update" it downloads new WU's in less then 1minute, im not around 24hours , my 6850k idles at 190watts , it costs me approximately 40centsAUD per Kilowatt here , don't make me change projects because i don't want to , FIX ASAP please , you guys are on a salary im not Two thing....1st is don't be such a dick. Most them are volunteers not getting paid either. 2nd is use the search function and you could habe seen whats going on easily... https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=4424 https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=4434 Your welcome and good day!

30) Message boards : News : 30 Workunit Limit Per Request - Fix Implemented (Message 68599) Posted 25 Apr 2019 by bluestang Post: 200 WUs per GPU up to 600 WUs total per system could be doubled until this bug gets worked out for less idle time between fill-ups :)

33) Message boards : Number crunching : My number of "invalids" decreased. How is this possible? (Message 68558) Posted 17 Apr 2019 by bluestang Post: I'm still trying to figure out why your running 6 WUs at once on a RX 550. Doesn't sound optimal to me for points.
34) Message boards : News : 30 Workunit Limit Per Request - Fix Implemented (Message 68512) Posted 11 Apr 2019 by bluestang Post: Until you do find a solution, can you increase the max allowed WUs in progress at once per GPU from the current 200 (600 max) to maybe double, say 1200 max? That would at least decrease the amount of idle time per day.
35) Message boards : News : 30 Workunit Limit Per Request - Fix Implemented (Message 68500) Posted 10 Apr 2019 by bluestang Post: Much better at 3 minutes since it won't be hammering the server with requests. As long as you let us have a nice big cache full of WUs we are all good :) Although I'm not sure the WU download issue is fixed for GPUs like @Manfred said it is for CPUs. I still can't keep a full cache until they all run out and it downloads them all again???

Doesn't look like stats sites are making contact either, so not sure what's up.

37) Message boards : News : 30 Workunit Limit Per Request - Fix Implemented (Message 68481) Posted 5 Apr 2019 by bluestang Post: 200 computed tasks in less 10 minutes? It is not possible even for fastest machines. Very best computers with few modern powerful GPUs working in parallel dedicated to the single project of MW can do 200 tasks "only" in ~20-40 min. Beg to differ. If I have a host with 8 RTX 2080 TI cards or similar, I can easily crunch through 200 tasks in ten minutes. There are many hosts with mining rig pedigrees that have multiple gpus. I have a minimum of 3 cards in every host. Now that's an XtremeSystem! Just like our team likes :)
38) Message boards : News : New Server Update (Message 68446) Posted 28 Mar 2019 by bluestang Post: Since it's a website thing, I posted a new banner in that thread... https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=4421&postid=68445#68445
39) Questions and Answers : Web site : Website bugs since server transition (Message 68445) Posted 28 Mar 2019 by bluestang Post: About that banner, here is what I came up with so far... https://i.postimg.cc/qqR5svTx/Milky-Wat-home-banner.jpg Size is 900x162. The current banner size is 900x200, but I notice it gets stretched to fit the screen. Disable/change that setting so it displays the true 1:1 size and the current banner may be ok. But if you want to use this one instead then it's your's. If there are any changes or suggestions anyone has, please feel free to share.
40) Message boards : News : New Server Update (Message 68384) Posted 24 Mar 2019 by bluestang Post: Quick go at a new banner for you... I think that is a great picture, but to me, banners are for home pages. Do we really need to see banners everywhere? I, for one, don't think so. Most likely it's part of the Boinc website template that all the projects use. I don't think they can change certain things/layouts/requirements. I'll try and work on a better one with the "MilkyWay@home" text and also add the Rensselaer logo as well.
