March 22, 20206 yr i've logged mine on to help, its only a ryzen 5 2600 but with 8 cores/threads dedicated to boinc at the moment
March 22, 20206 yr was in approx 25th place on Unraid leaderboard two days ago, now dropped to 50th something! my two low powered and 5+ year old AMD based servers can't keep up with newer CPUs. so it goes. glad this is taking off
March 22, 20206 yr you can also get a little bit more power by setting the cpu governor to 'performance'. can be done with the Tips and Tweak plugin. my tr1950x is now boosting full-time to 3.6/3.7Ghz instead of bouncing around 2.8Ghz, 3.4Ghz is the default max

Do I have that correct? (I have a GTX1650 Super) so my CPU needs are probably very minimal anyway )

It's entirely possible that some old-school Pentium somewhere will calculate the bits that serve as the final piece to solving this deadly puzzle 👍

I have done testing, finished another 5 WU:s, only 1 seems to have been accepted, uploading fails "connection refused / no connection / expected 512 bytes, got 0" etc. It is just not downloads that is overwhelmed at foldingathome, even uploads can fail and for some reason uploads clear from queue without succeeding. At least for GPU WU's, dunno what is the problem.

It's set-it-and-forget-it (quite literally, this morning I was wondering who was watching Plex at home around 5am and then realised Plex and BOINC use the same cores 😅)

Just caught onto this today (Thx @SpaceInvaderOne !), saw we're "only" #2, which just won't do --- Just "remembered" I have a Threadripper 2950x new in box - was going to sell the old dual Xeon E5 V2s and upgrade, but now going to bring this out & join the fray with the I9-9900 Hackintosh [AMD 580] and Ryzen 3700x. The threadripper will have to go "benchtop bare" for now, but that's OK. Should probably just use the office for a sauna now 🥵. Think the UPS is sweating a tad.... I am regional medical director for a company that does home medical visits on the sickest of the (US Medicare) population, IE top tier risk for COVID, avg. patient age 80+. We have offices in all the top affected cities in US so far. We're working nonstop to try to keep our patients safe at home. We've had to retreat temporarily to mostly telephonic visits due to shortage of PPE (protective gear) til our supply improves so we don't spread it to them - very frustrating. Now I can feel better about being stuck at home, still helping on the compute side as well til we get to get back safely in their homes. I wanted to thank everyone here for being so eager to take part / take action and with such impressive results. It means alot in the medical world to see folks being resourceful and doing their part. Please stay home, stay safe, and round up some more CPU's for this ! Edited March 22, 20206 yr by jsdoc

I feel guilty only throwing 15 cores at the effort. If I throw the spare parts together, I can add another 8 for at least 30 days on a trial license. Over the last few days, I've put 3 PCs together for Rosetta@home CPU work, using old parts I'd kept from upgrading systems for family members over the years. They're all working surprisingly well, which I hoped for but you never know what to expect with old parts. Now that our Unraid server has become as important a household item as Wi-Fi, I'd been wanting to setup a proper HomeLab for myself to test stuff on. For these 3 PCs, I've gone with using XCP-ng (Xen Hypervisor) on each and Xen Orchestra for central management, plus a mix of Windows / Linux VMs to see how BOINC performs in each. Haven't quite decided if I'll just put a minimal Debian distro like DietPi on each, with a BOINC Docker container and manage it all in a few browser tabs. In any case, it's nice to be able to put all this old stuff to good use, plus have a new HomeLab to play with.
