I sort of don't understand what you are trying to say or point out?

Are you crunching for science ("discoveries") or a big bang (credits)?

I probably misunderstood you.
Sorry.


I see that you are not in a Team so you have not ventured into challenges as a Team member. I am the founder of BOINC@AUSTRALIA and we have 3,310 members, not all working at the same time though . We have a Team forum where we talk about BOINC and all things distributed computing and computer hardware and software etc.

When we join a challenge we try and put up a good total for the Team and the in doing so do a lot of science.

Cheers

I think that most users are processing work for the science. We have credit and Teams to create competition and promote more work to be processed as a result. When the credits are a fraction of other projects then people wil migrate to the other projects.

I am doing work on Universe@home and Asteroids@home on my 18 RPI's.

It takes about 48,789.71seconds to do a task on Asteroids and get a credit of 88.25. This represents a credit of 6.511 credits per hour.

On Universe it takes about 31,543.10 seconds to do a task which receives a credit of 666.67. This represents a credit of 76.09 credits per hour.

It is plain to see why I have asteroids preferences "Resource share" set to 25 and Universe set to 100.

The cost of electricity and hardware to process this work is very expensive, at least it is here in Australia. We like to get the best bang for the dollars and time we put into this voluntary process.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Hi Dingo,

It will be interesting for us if you provide some more information how did you measured the execution time "before" the new cuda102 application, as the old one doesn't support GTX 1660Ti, could you?

Should I make my statement here, regarding the speed of the applications, sticky?

Georgi


Nowhere in my post did I say it was not working. My post was placed here by your moderator. It works fine just gives half the credit as shown on my tasks page.

Your post [ID 6572] in thread 'GPU application'
http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=8#6572
has been moved to another thread by moderator Georgi Vidinski (ID 372356).
Old thread: GPU application
http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=8
New thread: nVidia 1660 TI fails tasks instantly
http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=781&postid=6572


Your moderator should look before trying to put words in my mouth.

Moderator comment: Wrong thread. Please pay attention when you ask for help or just providing feedback where exactly you place your posts.

The new app is running about twice as long for the same credit as the old one on my duel 1660 Ti Windows 10 machine. Looking at GPU-Z both cards are running at 98% but I didn't look through the whole run time.

Is the GPU application going to be updated to allow the use of the new GPU's from Nvidia like the GTX 1660, and the RTX versions ??

They currently do not work with this application.

I attached a ARM v7 today and downloaded a task. The task window said it downloaded ok but the "task"window said "DOWNLOADING".

This is the Raspberry Pi 2: http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=154913

I aborted the task: http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/results.php?hostid=154913

I started a new instance of BOINC on a machine and added POGS and WUprop but was unable to add Asteroids. After the email address and password are entered it just says "FAILED TO ADD PROJECT" Please try again later.

Does Asteroids have something set to not accept new computers ??



EDIT it is now later and still the same notice.
