Didn't get my last system switched from NFS to PG until about 9:30 EST, and even then it had a few more tasks to finish up. So last bit could be from it :)
My Pixel 3 has finally bit the dust, so I'm looking for a replacement that's a tad more modern. I'm looking to spend about $100-140, and am fine with a phone with a cracked screen so long as it is not absolutely shattered. At this price I figure I'm probably looking at a Pixel 5 or 5A, but if...
I've told my Epyc 7662 system to not fetch any more work, and I'll swap it over to Cullen tomorrow and see how it does like that. I've been keeping it running other tasks due to the odd cache layout, but I'll see if it can get something resembling tolerable performance running one task per die.
Thanks for the info. I didn't realise there was a topology change between Zen2/Zen3. At least if they've fixed it for Zen 3, that means that it should be unified 32MB caches on the Zen 4 chips, so I can get my 7950Xs doing that too.
Neat. Glad to see a PG project, although Cullen would perhaps not be my top choice. Ah well. At least most of my Xeon E5 systems will be able to run two tasks/CPU without too much trouble. I'll get most of my systems switched over to this in a few hours.
pututu What's your experience...
The points are great. My experience is that on the 4090s, the DYFL tasks match it for points. But that one feels like you're basically throwing electricity into a void, since there have never been any primes found by it. The smaller GFN tasks, fine, but the larger ones don't have that...
Being a late joiner to PG, I've missed out on a lot of the available badges. So, I desperately want the "26" badge for an AP26, and might try my luck at the "27" badge too. Doesn't hurt that the AP27 gives amazing points on the 4090s. So I've got both of mine running that consistently. And...

My first AP25, after being the verifier on two others in the past two weeks. Hoping this trend continues and I get an AP26 before too long 😋
Looks like we just overtook them, so seeing as they've been ahead for most of the challenge, that looks like a good deal for us. Top-10 finish I can take :)
At least here in Maine it's not hot yet outside, so I can open up the windows, stick a box fan in the window, and keep the place perfectly comfortable that way. Definitely going to be running at reduced strength for the summer contests though.
I'm givin' her all she's got, captain!
(not quite, but it's finally warming up enough that I can't bear to turn on the last two systems. If the house heats up too much, the dual-CPU EPYC system overheats the VRMs and throttles to 400MHz, do it does more harm than good :( )
Huh. How are you...
Yes, I misunderstood how Primegrid spawns additional worker threads (I think) for each of the tasks, and you have to get all of them bound to the correct CPUs or it won't work. Oops.
Seems to be making a huge difference (tasks run in < half the time) on my EPYC system. Can't argue with that.
So overall the script is workable, I think. It could use a bit more polish to make it easier to use. So far it lets you skip the first couple CPU cores if necessary to keep things...
14th place so far 😑
I wrote a Python script last night to handle pinning individual WUs to CCDs in my EPYC chips, and the results are _drastically_ better than letting the OS do it itself. With that in mind, I've got a couple more of my systems now running TRP as well, and hopefully that'll...
