Ah, Thank you for pointing my nose in the right direction.

And there's me, glad that I recently reached 20 million altogether :D Sometimes I feel like, what's the point of me crunching, if people do in a few hours what I do in a month, but I guess every little counts?


A bit more than a year later, and I just reached 50 million.


For the project "every little bit counts" because your simulation could be the breakthrough for a dynamic new idea on the Universe....

Ouch! I am sorry to hear about your loss.

I hope this does not shoot down the ongoing research of Universe@Home

You may not be able to merge the accounts. But if they are on the same email address they will "share". So open a new account with a email address that is the same on both systems.

HTH,
Respectfully,

Every once in a while this system tops 2.9M rac. And then something happens and it falls back.

I am hoping to eventually get it to cozy up to 3M and stay there.

I am unable to upload to u@h.

Website is very slow too.

My BoincMgr log reports "Internet OK" server down?

Posted 8 Dec 2023 by Profile Tom M
Post:
I have an ASUS Tinkerboard, similar to a Pi 3/4 with a 4-core arm CPU.
I use it exclusively on Universe at home. WCG used to give me some WU's and other projects don't seem to give me enough time to to complete them
I only keep it on for about 6 hours a day and just use it for tinkering with random projects

It takes about 7h's to process one Universe task and I do 3 at a time


What happens if you run a single task? Does the processing speed up/slow down?

Thank you for your previous post.

Hi everyone!

I did a test to see how the new Pi 5 works with U@H, and wow, the results are impressive, the new Pi 5 is very fast, comparable to old desktop CPUs that use 4-5 times the power. With the Pi 5 I got around 60 tasks per day. I published the benchmark results on my blog:

Thank you.

Lets route them through some Mercury circuits :)
Try a mercury rectifier: https://youtu.be/QY6V2syGnZA?si=_UHout8RNxYA8ylK&t=134

Oh, you meant the planet.


Peter,
I am old enough to have read of early experiments in computers using standing waves in mercury tubes for information storage. I can't remember if it was being used for ram or for some kind of temporary data storage like the "drums" were.

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.
