The nvidia-direct cards do look to be better value. The cheapest partner card is over £700.

I haven’t read the reviews in depth to see what they say about thermals mind you. I believe this card is >300w.

All of the 3080 nvidia stock is already gone!

Up the top it says 'Updated 24 Jul 2020', but I don't know the data duration. I show a lot of Moo!, which I only started crunching for the sprint and a few days before, so it must be recent-ish. Last time I saw those stats, CO was way up there on the global rank and I was nowhere. I guess it has to ...

Ah, Collatz. That’d do it ....

That’s going to need a lot of RAM for all those threads!

Congrats Neil - lots of hard crunching to get there!

Happy Birthday UBT!

Sounds like fun!

Here's a performance graph since the morning after sprint start. I've actually skipped out the top 4 teams, since they are some ways ahead of us already. Rosetta is generally a popular project, so there are a lot of people contributing that don't even know about the sprint! http://www.ukboincteam.or...

The server status looks OK, so presume that it will recover soon enough ...

Err ... that will be a problem, since I crunch it on zero priority (i.e. with no cache!).

I think they don't put all jobs in VBOX, and VBOX has been a problem for people in the past. It runs natively in Linux though (no VBOX required!), so that's by far the best way to do it ... but I guess you don't usually run Linux. Sorry, I don't usually use the VBOX version.

That -pl command does talk about being able to enable persistent mode, but I have never managed to make it work. I also generally under-clock my GPUs outside of sprints. Running Nvidia-smi afterwards shows the power level is reduced. Are you not seeing that? Or is it not true? It is reduced until r...

Yeah, I noticed that too - from 2014! I suppose that Software Manager in Mint is a package manager, so they pull in more recent versions over time. I've never tried docker. Hi Damien When I installed Mint on my Xeon box for a previous Sprint, I used the "built-in" Software Manager to install AnyDes...

That may well work, although I see that it's an unofficial / untrusted package i.e. there's no way to verify what has been compiled into that package. This page below suggests that 7.16 is still 'in development' for Linux. I'd just leave it, unless you experience a problem. https://boinc.berkeley.ed...

I just learnt a new bunkering tactic! I had no idea that it was possible - or desirable - to upload completed work sometime before actually reporting it. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO2y1d0CEtw&t=321s) Regarding the boinc launch issue, sounds like it's sorted. I checked the commands though, and...

Sounds like the boinc daemon (service) isn't running.

How did you install boinc / boinc manager? Did you use the software manager within Mint?
