After the mention of "older" Boinc I updated to the latest version of a Ubuntu Boinc and still got a long pause "unable to add" project at this time.

Congratz Tom. That is an achievement. Increasing the power without improving the cooling is a zero sum game.

IIRC, you have an AIO on that cpu, correct?


Yes, I have an AIO cpu cooler on the Epyc-OX (above) system.

There has been a drop in production to below 1.5M but I don't expect it to go below 1.4M before it starts back up.

My Eypic-Ox https://universeathome.pl/universe/show_host_detail.php?hostid=632795 finally made it up past 1.5M RAC on U@H.

Except for lifting the power limit I think I have run out of ideas on how to increase its processing.

But, there is also a good news, that I have delivered another server to CAMK this morning and the machine will replace our old, main server in January.
So what are the specs of the current server, and it's replacement?


I predict it is "newer", bigger and "better" :)

Just had a bunch of uploads start to accumulate & the web site was MIA.
It's just come back up, but uploads are very, very slow & taking several re-tries to go through. And the Scheduler is taking a while to respond as well (at least when it doesn't just time out).

EDIT- and downloads also taking forever/multiple retries to complete.


So far, while it is taking a while it is getting the uploads done. And now the downloads. Not showing any retries right now.

Glad to have helped Dr. Hicks. I too am running multiple projects on my Pi4 so the Universe RAC is not maxed out.

I would have liked to get my Jetson SoC's running on Universe but alas there are no 32 bit libraries available in the Nvidia L4T distros.

I could change them over to a normal Linux distro like Ubuntu but I would lose the standard Nvidia CUDA development installation that allows me to use the Nvidia gpus at Einstein where they are quite productive.


I sure hope the times come down quite a bit on my Arm CPU system. Right now they appear to be taking in the near range of one a day. Those could very well be E core processing speeds.

I am running 7 out of 8 cores.

It sounds like my celebrating "high" RAC scores for Arm based systems was based on my ignorance of broad results of arm CPUs at u@h.

I am still looking forward to my current arm test even though I don't see a likely "arm"(s) race.

It does claim 8 cores. Not 32.

One of the other systems appear to be running rasberian.

Like I said. I am surprised by the RAC.

I have switched my highest performing (based on e@h RAC) arm CPU system over to u@h.

And apparently I celebrated too soon.

Shortly after that listing are 4 MORE high-performing ARM-cpu systems using a variety of operating systems.

Maybe I need to redeploy my "best" ARM-cpu systems over here and see what happens?

While looking at all the machines listed under GRCPOOL.com I ran across an ARM CPU (android os) system with a 18,356.78 RAC!!!

https://universeathome.pl/universe/show_host_detail.php?hostid=626949

I am running several different iterations of ARM-based CPU system (not here though) and never thought I would see such a relatively large RAC on an ARM-cpu system.

So I wanted to celebrate this success!!!!

I think this ranking is the longest time I have spent on ANY Boinc project in the #5 position.

My Epyc box has topped 1 Million RAC (for now). Unfortunately the GPU is still interrupting progress. So am NNT GPU tasks in other projects for now.

So the question becomes how far below 1 Million will it drop before it "recovers".

My Epyc system has joined the top 10 and passed the 850,000 threshold. (upgraded cpu)

As long as the gpu's don't cause another reboot I would say it is going good :)

Everything should be ok now.


Ah. The Hamsters got tired :)
