I think you got your wish Mr P Hucker!!

One other thing to look out for is the amount of memory each task uses as compared to the total amount of ram you have You can check that by going into the Boinc Manager and clicking properties on a running task, some types of tasks use a lot more memory than others do, ie the EcmP2 tasks at Yoyo use about 8gb of ram for each task but the regular Ecm tasks use less than 250mb each.

That user recently enabled his account to export stats.

So all the points he earned since he started his account shows up on one day.

You can see it better on free-dc.

check mine.

If it wasn't a fact I wouldn't think it was.

https://universeathome.pl/universe/show_host_detail.php?hostid=664091

it's two 64-core CPUs. HT is on, so that's 128 threads each, and 256 threads total for the system.
the only project the system runs is Universe, and it crunches at 90% CPU utilization (roughly 230 threads) 24/7
~3.0M ppd total, ~1.5M ppd each CPU.

comparing cherry picked tasks from hosts is pointless since universe has varying task lengths. they are not all the same so it's easy to end up comparing two tasks that aren't comparable.

go nuts and cope.

Two project accounts?

I wish the Admin would go in and fix the venues!!! I want to run cpu tasks on some pc's and gpu tasks on other pc's and because of the way they setup the venues I can't

Administrator ported boinc server to windows server.

Like I told you already.
You don't have many hosts, not hard to figure out which one you probably were having issues with.

Because you don't listen the first time and think what you know is factual.

There you go again. Using useless metrics. Pick a CPU project, any CPU project. Attach your single 3900X to it and I will attach my single 64c/128t EPYC. I guarantee I do more than 2.4 times the points as you.

I am assuming your hosts in another building are your Xeons and not your Ryzen which is probably your main computer you have inside your home.

EPYC motherboards have IPMI remote management. You can control everything on the host, including the BIOS settings, remotely using IPMI. Xeons have this ability too on some of the newer stuff. I don't think the older Xeons have IPMI and I'm not sure what year/generation they started using IPMI.

Like I said. You can use the one GPU for all the hosts to edit the BIOS the way you need it once. However, if you overclock those hosts some projects will put way more stress on that overclock than other projects where the overclock will fail. Its rare, but it does happen. Especially some of the Primegrid sub projects.

Looking through the Universe@home hosts list I found a 128 thread EPYC here:

https://stats.free-dc.org/host/uni/561422
It does around 1.3M PPD.
Here is a 3950X (little more powerful than your 3900X)
https://stats.free-dc.org/host/uni/602386
It does around 370K PPD.

370,000 * 2.4 = 888,000
370,000 / 1,300,000 = 3.5

In this example we can see that an EPYC is 3.5 times more productive than a 3700X. That means you'll need 4 3900X CPUs.

Lets take a look at what full load on the 3900X does power wise.

So we have to talk in simpler terms so your simple mind can understand?

Wasn't boasting. Just correcting someone wrong on the Internet.

Hidden only hides your list. The host is still listed and can be found on the project host list. It just won't have a name attached to it. It will say anonymous.

I don't have to work in IT to know a lot of about computers. Been playing on computers for over 20 years now.

Because you're hiding them. You can see my host names, anyone can. You chose to hide them.

Again, you don't know what you are talking about. What is your computers name? I can't see it.

peterhuckerisdumb

For the last time. You CAN NOT see the host name or name of the host unless it is YOUR host.

That system does 12M PPD alone on MW on Separation tasks.

You use 15 year old crap. Who cares?

The one Epyc I have will do more than your entire fleet of computers and use less electricity. A 64c/128t EPYC is way more than 2.4 times better than your 3700X. lol

What on earth gave you that insane idea? Running headless is up to the OS and nothing to do with the CPU, and Windows 11 is doing it fine on my Ryzen 9s. I can even connect with the built in Windows Remote Desktop.

You right.

I didn't think about using remote desktop to connect to a Ryzen setup although I do that with one of mine (but it has 2 GPUs in it).

Editing the BIOS settings though will require a GPU, but you could use 1 GPU and just switch them to whatever system you need to modify settings in the BIOS.

There you go again. Reading crap on paper and not actually using real world data to compare.

Not sure how using cap as a limit on the amount of lanes the Ryzen has is less intelligent.

My business. My choice.

Because you told me to get better computers.

When I ask for help, I post my host that is having issues if it is needed

but I rarely ask for help on forums because fools like you who have no idea start trying to put in their $0.02 which wastes everyone's time.

I do not work in a tech industry. I don't even use a computer for work.

Never heard of CAD?

it's amazing that you think something with "Computer" right in the name isn't classified as tech. try again.

Go on, post the photo of your watercooled setup again, you know you want to.

which one?

if they were indeed a work-owned system the "boss" (or rather, IT dept/personnel) could just go look at the system directly to see what it's doing.

someone/company not in the tech industry in some way is unlikely to have a 128t high-end EPYC system.

I don't need to showboat what I have.

you mean you don't want to show off your 15 year old Xeon power?

You can't see the computer names unless it's a host on your account. If this hypothetical boss had the ability to log into my account then he would be able to just view the computers on my account in my control panel and see the computers I am using.

My 64c/128t EPYC uses around 400W (total system power) under full load. Not breaking any power bills.

For the single CPU? I bought my 64c/128t CPUs for $1000.

Motherboard $500. RAM, SSD, PSU are the same price or similar to that of a Ryzen setup.

You also need GPUs for Ryzen 9. EPYC can run headless.

This is assuming an EPYC is indeed only 2.4 times "faster" than a single Ryzen 9. Which I don't believe that across the board.

Those are needed for voltage stabilising. Have they got better VRMs? Nothing to do with the CPU.

Sigh. Man you know nothing. lmao He isn't talking about capacitors. He is saying an EPYC has more PCIe lanes than Ryzen. So you can run more things like GPUs with full 16x or 8x lanes than you can on a Ryzen.

Nobodies business what I am running except mine.

I don't need to showboat what I have.

They're mine.

hiding his hosts wouldn't hide anything from his hypothetical "boss". he doesn't even work in the tech industry. so yeah, wrong again.

i have five 64c/128t CPUs, and two 48c/96t , wholly owned by me. they're cheap. don't need to use other people's computers.

EPYC's are ubiquitous at this point. The whole platform cost isn't much more expensive than high end consumer stuff,

but without the silly caps in PCIe lanes

**Unnecessary "that" removed from sentence. Why is this becoming so popular?

That's cute. Just one of my computers is more powerful than your entire fleet. LMAO

Tell me that you wouldn't run an Epyc 128cpu core setup if you could get one cheap enough? I most certainly would!!
