Good to hear, not really visited these forums in some years, so don't see what's going on currently.

Agreed.

But are they even active?
When I asked years ago about unpinning my older benchmarking thread and pinning a newer one, nothing happened and I didn't hear back from anyone :/

I don't know why you're asking in this thread, because as per the title it's about benchmarking times.

I suggest you look for a thread with a similar subject to yours, or start a new one.

I believe he was referring to what hardware you have (or will have) and it's cost vs output.

y'all quick check-out cpu stats for AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor [Family 23 Model 113 Stepping 0] 5,539.06 - GFLOPs/computer //averages cores 876.80 april has past but nice ?
5th from list https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/cpu_list.php


Huh? What do you mean by 'april has past but nice?' ? lol
Anyway, seems to be a popular CPU! :) Not that makes it (or any consumer CPU) any good for crunching MW though.

Hi everyone, I am having a different problem with an ATI GPU. All Separations tasks fail with an SIGSEGV error. The details of the error and my machine can be found here https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=421757752

I don't know why you're posting in this thread, like you said it's a different problem. You'd be better off starting your own (new) thread, you'll likely get more responses there too.

I'm in a country on 2 grids, they switch a lot , so of course my pc crashes, I've lowered my overclock ALL CORE ryzen 9 5950x to
CLOCK RATIO *44.25
CPU VOLT *1.244v
ENABLE S.A.M (SMART ACCESS MEMORY with amd 6000 series gpu) in bios make sure bios version is up to date
turn CSM SUPPORT *DISABLED
turn ABOVE 4G DECODING *ENABLED
turn RE-SIZE BAR SUPPORT *AUTO

in AMD GPU driver under GRAPHICS sub/ ADVANCED (latest driver version)
turn *OPENGL TRIPLE BUFFERING *ENABLED
turn on S.A.M in AMD driver

You didn't mention power cuts earlier :p, that could explain it then! ;)

Only once every 48hrs? That's quite a lot when you run DC, it hardly crash at all. Also an unstable machine could send more errored WUs.
I use OCCT to stability test an o/ced CPU for 48hrs, then see if it can run Folding@H for 48 hrs (error free!), if it can it's good to go.
That said, for the 1st time since 1998, I haven't bothered to o/c my current CPU! There's so little to be had.

Btw Isn't the 4.9 GHz for just one core?

As of right now, we have only been told that it was a ransomware attack. We suspect that it was an attempt to encrypt RPI files and then charge RPI for the file's release. For more information, we recommend that you look at the official RPI statements on the attack (since that's about all that we know!)

Thanks for the info, but what is RPI??? lol

Err, yea that was done in the past with the HD 6950 :p, it was newer drivers that broke support for MW. For a while an old cat version of AMD drivers kept them working, but eventually they became too old to be useful for much else.
Anyway MW@H never bothered to address this issue or even try to communicate with us about it AFAIK.

No idea if more recent drivers have fixed the problem, I don't suppose many people have HD 5800s or 6900s anymore.
[edit] I was forgetting that the MW 1.02 app disappeared a long time ago! There's only the separation 1.46 for GPUs atm.

Mickey,
I not understand. once you say you want to use both GPU and once you speak about overheat !!!
Milky use about one core from your CPU. So it can not produce overheat.
If you run at same time other CPU project, it is logical that overheat comes.

By the way, you not crunch on Milky already 5 days. Are you sure your question is on the right place ?
You speak about laptop. Is it your i7-3612QM under Win10 , IntelGraphic HD4000, who was the latest seen on 30 april !?
All seem to be unclear !
Best regards. Take care, stay at home

Is there a reason why no one has created an app for Intel graphics. Seems like there are a lot of them out there to take advantage of.

Very weak double precision performance, AFAIK.


Also heat, at the projects they do work at most people use their laptops and the heat can kill a laptop.


Lol, you say mikey's post isn't clear, neither is yours :p.

Btw running the GPU alone (along with 1 CPU core) can be enough to overheat the laptop, (from the GPU of course). Without specialist cooling, or a very well built laptop with good built in cooling anyway (if such a laptop exists).

Nice one :).

The AMD Radeon VII should work fine for MilkyWay GPU-Tasks with it´s high DP crunching power, but it´s not shown in the "Statistics" for GPU-models (neither Windows/Linux/Mac). Why?
It "should" be better than the Tahiti-Chip or do you have other informations/details?


It has a more powerful DP than Tahiti, even the HD 7990! https://www.anandtech.com/show/13923/the-amd-radeon-vii-review/3

[edit] Lol, didn't realise your post was 1yr old! Well, better late than never answer! ;)

From August last year ;)

Interesting information, some rapid times posted here with the Radeon VII & the Tesla V100! :D

Btw, as you guys have probably noticed, the WU credit/type has changed again, atm it seems the 227.51 & .53 are the most common.
This frequent change in WU type makes it impossible to collect stats over the longer term, so I am no longer posting stats tables.

But feel free to carry on posting valid task WU times along with it's exact credit to compare amongst yourselves :).

Assimilator1 -

Have you looked at the Milkyway main mage, Community, Statistics, and then either CPU Models or GPU Models? That shows the relative rating of all of the CPU and GPU models.

What are you trying to do that is not shown there?


What Bluestang said, and I've already covered that question in the op ;).

tic toc
Awesome card the Radeon VII! :D
The 5700 XT looks interesting too, I'd forgotten it existed until you mentioned it! ;), will have have to read up about it.

Jim 1348
I should look into under volting my RX 580, what do you use to test stability though?
Times between different 227.xx credit WUs can vary a fair bit between them.

Jstateson
x5690 3.47ghz 1@RX-580 0.44 second per credit STATS

Interesting stats site you use there, is the credit/s consistent over different credited WUs on the same machine? I have a feeling it doesn't, which would make those stats just a rough estimate unfortunately.
Btw, that site isn't going to the 2nd decimal point.

Btw, as you guys have probably noticed, the WU credit/type has changed again, atm it seems the 227.51 & .53 are the most common.

And thanks for the useful stats posted here so far :).

How are you limiting GPU time?

Yea over in the AnandTech thread we've noticed the 227.62 WUs have gone & been largely replaced by 227.1x WUs :/, not sure how they compare to the former time wise yet.
Even so, 10s for a 227.1x WU seems bloody fast! :D
