Posted 11 Feb 2023 by stfn Post: If you look at the BOINC dashboards, you'll see that the number of crunchers is pretty much stable forAsteroids, if not rising, so I think it's more data. https://grafana.kiska.pw/d/boinc/boinc?orgId=1&refresh=1m&var-project=Asteroids@Home&from=now-30d&to=now |

Posted 30 Jan 2023 by stfn Post: Any updates? no rush, just wondering. I apparently messed up on many levels by purchasing a 7900xtx lol. I made the same mistake few years ago, bought a 5500XT, it did work with BOINC for some time, but then I don't know what happened, something got updated, and I could not make it work with any BOINC project no matter what I did with the drivers. Eventually i Just gave up, sold it and moved to a 2060. |

Posted 28 Dec 2022 by stfn Post: This is exactly what I meant, I remember you saying that the task time varies, and I saw it on the x86 desktop, what surprised me was that on the RPi the task time did not vary :) |

Posted 27 Dec 2022 by stfn Post: One thing that I find interesting: The tasks that I run on my desktop differ a lot in computation time, from 1.5h to more than 3 hours. The tasks on my Rpi have been very stable in runtime for the last few days, each one was around 10 hours. |

Posted 23 Dec 2022 by stfn Post: Thank you Georgi for you explanation. I wish other projects, like for example my beloved Gaia@Home had this level of communication with the volunteers.
Oh man, I hate those. I've seen what happened to Universe@Home when it was selected for a race. First people hoarding tasks and later, when the race started, overloading the servers to the point no real work could be done. I think in the long run those races do more harm than good, but that's just my opinion. |

Posted 22 Dec 2022 by stfn Post: I downloaded a Asteroids WU on my Rock Pi 4B+ as it has the most elaborate cooling (80mm + 40mm fan plus very big heatsink combo) and it has announced a zeven-day computation period with ten-day deadline. When I started a task on my RPi 4b the estimated time was 14 days, but the task finished in 12 hours :) |

Posted 22 Dec 2022 by stfn Post: I'm also curious about the choosing of the instruction set, because I have a Ryzen 3700X, and the only app version I am getting is sse2. Shouldn't I be getting sse3 or fma? |

Posted 21 Dec 2022 by stfn Post: Another great news from this project, thanks you! I just started two tasks on my RPi 4B with active cooling. BOINC Manager reports around 7.5% per hour, and temps seem to hover around 49C. |

Posted 4 Dec 2022 by stfn Post: I would like to bump this topic, because the thing that I miss the most when crunching any BOINC project are regular updates about what we are actually helping with. It would be awesome if we could get at least a very general information what is the current set of work units about and, you know, where are we going with it. Thanks! |
