How long until F@H supports this beast of a GPU server? 8 P100 GPUs in a 3U server pulling 3200W.
NVIDIA Unveils the DGX-1 HPC Server: 8 Teslas, 3U, Q2 2016
Hey guys, I removed the second GPU from this system, but the Titan Black is still performing like crap. I'm not sure on the PPD because HFM.net says 0 PPD. I'm running nvidia 355.11 drivers and set-gpu-fan to increase the GPU fan. nvidia-smi says the GPU is running at 99% utilization, but...
I just received a new server with two E5-2690v3 CPUs and two Nvidia Grid K2 GPUs. Putting BOINC through its paces to burn it in! :D

Here's an interesting article about how Red Hat integrated automatic NUMA management into RHEL 7:
http://rhelblog.redhat.com/2015/01/12/mysteries-of-numa-memory-management-revealed/
I wonder how something like this might affect the mainstream BOINC client without tear's NUMA patches.

I'm not sure what's going on. All my boxes are x86_64, but only the i686 application is in the projects directory on the error hosts. I cannot run "ldd" on the i686 app for some reason, so I'm not sure if...
I hit 3B points earlier today. Switching back to BOINC since BigAdv is going away in a few weeks and I don't think I could hit 4B by then. :D There's no way I'm catching MtnDuey either, darn it!
I bought two of these CPUs hoping they would work in my SuperMicro X9DRH motherboard and they won't.
I bought them from this listing.
My loss is your gain. They are compatible with the following motherboards:
Asrock x79 extreme4
Gigabyte X79 UD4P
ASUS Rampage Extreme IV Formula
ASUS X79...
I think I fried my GTX 560 Ti 448-Core card. A home windoze 7 box running MISFIT to manage the GIMPS work units crashed last week and I just had time to diagnose. The system would no longer power up at all. I swapped out the video card for a piece-of-crap GT 420 and it booted right up. I...
If you have SuperMicro motherboards with onboard IPMI (most 2P and 4P motherboards), please read this:

I verified it is possible to retrieve the users and passwords from the IPMI device on my Intel 4P system...
I was planning to upgrade my home Windows boxes from low-end Nvidia cards (GT 240, GT 440) to higher-end GTX 560 Ti and GTX 580 GPUs to run GIMPS. I've had nothing but problems getting the 560 Ti running; if I swap the GT 440 back in, Windows behaves.
Yesterday I did a fresh install of Win 7...
I configured a GTX 660 yesterday on a Linux x64 host. The MilkyWay 1.02 opencl_nvidia tasks complete and are validated. Every Separation (Modified Fit) v1.28 task fails and I would like to know why. I notice the GPU is only running 1 task at a time at about 65% utilization. I then found and...
Who's going to be the first to jump on this guy and determine what kind of PPD it will deliver?
Interesting conclusion regarding gaming FPS vs. cost:
http://techreport.com/review/25509/amd-radeon-r9-290x-graphics-card-reviewed/13
I wonder how that will translate to PPD. AndyE, got any...
If the price is right, I'm interested in qty 1 through 4 of the above CPUs, extra spicy or not.
The L5640's look nice, but I want to continue doing bigadv units. I have multiple dual-socket 1366 systems which cannot be overclocked but could use an upgrade from slower E5620's in order to...
Something to be worried about? They've been pushing 45M PPD since August 1. Our weekly PPD has fallen below 300M since mid-June (lots of folks have been cashing out, turning off rigs for the summer, etc).

I'm not super familiar with GPU folding, but I was hoping I could try the AMD Catalyst 13.8 beta drivers with two HD 7970's on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS with the 7.3.6 Linux client. I have a simple configuration.
My log file looks like this.
Am I missing something simple or are they only giving out...
I received a SuperMicro 2U 2x1200W chassis from a forum member. It only has 2 EPS12V 8-pin connectors coming off the redundant power supplies, but my H8QGL motherboard requires three. I was thinking of using this chassis instead of the Blackhawk Ultra case once my board gets back from RMA...
I saw some extra spicy E5-4650 chips on eBay for $699. The seller is willing to discount down to $670 if I buy four. It appears from Google searches, these same chips might have been available for $599 in the past. I'm just wondering what folks have paid for these chips over the last few...
It seems the eBay guy selling inexpensive 2U chassis is out of stock. Did anyone pick some up and decide not to use them?
I'm interested in the models with 1200W or 1400W power supplies. It doesn't have to be redundant, but that would be nice. It should support SuperMicro 4P motherboards...
Darn it, gkar died over the weekend. When I found it, all the fans were running, no video, no keyboard. Power cycled at the P/S (hold power button for 10 seconds did nothing). Tries to come on, no video output.
Re-enabled IPMI to see if it would tell me anything. IPMI thinks the m/b is...
Has anyone successfully run bigadv on a dual E5649 system? I have one that is giving ECC errors even when I switch out the RAM. Not sure if I should reseat the CPUs and use some fresh thermal paste or what else could cause the known-good RAM to experience ECC errors. I went down to a single...
I turned up my first dual E5-2680 host and it's getting 252K PPD on 8101 (16:46TPF). I confirmed with turbostat that all 32 cores are running at 3.1GHz.
I have it configured with 8 4GB 1333MHz sticks of ECC RAM.
I thought I had seen quad E5-4650 systems hitting close to 1M PPD, so I...
Yesterday I was looking at my HFM.net monitor and I had four machines with duplicate WUs (two each with two different WUs). In the past, I've seen this once or twice and just left things alone and everything worked out (except for the possible missed points).
Is there something I should...
Ever since I switched to team 33, I've not been able to track any status using the hardfolding.com website. When I login and click on F@H Statistics, it says "Stats Processing" and it has for weeks.
Is this a known issue or am I the only one affected? I wanted to figure out how to generate...
I had a couple of questions on the fahinstall script mentioned in musky's Ubuntu installation guide.
1. Why disable ASLR using kernel.randomize_va_space=0? Is this for stability or a few extra PPD?
2. Would the owners accept patches to make fahinstall less distribution specific? I...
So last week I decided I wanted to try something new and I up'd the voltage to 1.225 on my SM GL board. I left the clock at 3500. Something went amiss over the weekend. I came in today to find the box running, but console unresponsive. I had to hard power it off and back on. It comes up for...
Hello all,
I'm still tweaking my "new" GL motherboard with 4 spicy 6282 chips (natively 2.3GHz). I've had them clocked at 3.4GHz on 1.1875V for a few weeks pulling around 620K PPD on 8101 WU. I figured that since I've now got the VRMs sinked, I could try going further.
This is on air...
I was removing one of the stock aluminum VRM heatsinks and I think I damaged/destroyed a capacitor on the bottom of the motherboard. Can someone confirm?
All four CPUs are still folding at 3.4GHz with 1.1875V with no problems (about 590K PPD). Is this single VRM out of commission and putting...
