Peter,

just an info:

my old Nvidia GPUs are running at more or less 100% with ONE task.

So not much to do about that ....

Peter,

thanks for the good and clear reply.

BUT, since I am not running more than one CPU task at a time,
my "statement" is "correct".

I'm running other things on the remaining cores.

Thanks again and have a great day.

P.S. the "friendly repIies" did not pertain to you - but I think the message came over pretty clear - for the others ....

Hi Peter,

I'm getting even more confused now.

My GPU tasks are using one core - same as my CPU tasks.

Friendly HELP needed ...

Cheers

And I don't understand your reply. I said "second PC" - which sort of implies I also used a "first PC".

My interpretation of the previous discussion is that the posters claimed CPUs are running faster than GPUs on this project.

I will re-explain my scenario.

I have used two separate PCs.

On PC "A" a GPU task is faster than a CPU task.

On PC "B" a GPU task is also faster than a CPU task.

So I don't agree with the statements that the CPUs are way faster than the GPUs on this project.

But, I'm defintely sure you can put me on the right path of enlightment ...

Beeing curious, I just did a couple of CPU tasks.
Always same surrounding, tasks running alone, one task per GPU.

3070 GPU -- around 10 minutes (elapsed time),

but

Xeon W 2245 CPU -- around 36 minutes (elapsed time).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second PC

TITAN V -- approx. 4 minutes

but

Xeon W 2245 CPU -- approx. 37 minutes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ran several tasks.
Where is my error in thinking?
Replies welcome ...

Perhaps you could use both GPUs in one host?
Just a thought ...

Zark:
I have a GTX Titan, a GTX 1070, a GT 1030, and a Quadro K5000, and Milkyway for GPU has no problems with these cards.
...

Are you saying that one host/computer has all 4 GPUs installed and running fine?
Because the post title says "... host with multiple NVIDIA devices ..."

For the Quadro K5000 the stderr says:
UDA Device: Quadro K5000 4096MB
CUDA Device driver: 462.96
Compute capability: 3.0
Shared memory per Block | per SM: 49152 | 49152
Multiprocessors: 8
Unsupported Compute Capability (CC) detected (3.0). Supported Compute Capabilities are between 5.3 and 8.9.

So maybe MW has different CC requirements?

Check again the last post from Georgi ...

If you don't care about credits, don't care about this thread ...

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. ...

That sounds plausible, acceptable and is very OK.
Never thought about it from that perspectiv.

Thanks for the reply ...

Are you really using NVIDIA driver 512.78 ??

I'm wondering if a driver update would help (527.56) ??

Just a thought ...

I think that most users are processing work for the science ...
... We like to get the best bang for the dollars and time we put into this voluntary process ...

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.

Mayber I'm "old fashioned" or just "dumb" or whatever,
but I crunch for the "worth" of scientific results and
not for "meaningless" credits.

Sorry ...

Strange. Everybody is complaining when there are no WUs available, which is understandable. But it looks like nobody is happy when they're back. Or it's like having a conversation with mouth full :)?
I'm just saying.

I'm definitely not complaining - never ever!
I'm very happy that the project is "back".
Thanks to all for the good work.
The "presentation" of your home page is very good.
A pleasure to look at.

So, keep it up ...

Remember: As long as crunchers are complaining, well, you at least
know they need you ...

cheers

Trying to logon give us repeatedly connecting time out errors.

VERY poor response times.

AND NO, this has nothing to do with our internet connection, since we
are logged in to all other projects without any problems.

even after a successfull logon there are extrem response delay from page to page ...
