    Done 1 WU in the last 24 hours. At least this happened when the event was already over!

    Sorry, guilty as charged! I was 301st in the day 12 update, then jumped to 88th in the final standings. With Google giving away $300 worth of cloud services, I would have encouraged everyone to take advantage of it for this event given the cause, but I do understand those that believe folding should be "homegrown" on your own hardware. 88th is nice and all, but the most important thing is the science to beat this thing!

    Sweet! 88th. Higher than I imagined.

    Yep, I noticed that the $/hr cost went up quite steeply for the V100. The Tesla T4 performance is quite good considering it's a low-profile low-TDP card. Think it's only rated at 75W.
  5. RedCom
    Overall, it was worth around 26M points. Around 870K PPD per card. 3 instances of 4 vCPUs and 5GB of RAM with Tesla T4s. I wanted one vCPU per GPU, in hindsight I'm not sure if that was even necessary. I didn't really test it out with less CPUs. Although on the 4 card instances, CPU usage is around 80%, so perhaps it was a good call. Could have gone to 12 cards, as each instance maxes out at 4, but I calculated that 10 GPUs over 3 VMs would use up the credit pretty close to the end of the event. I wasn't far off.
  6. RedCom
    Well....10 GPUs did not take very long in burning through the $300 of Google Cloud credit. Gone in 3 days. Still...$100 a day to rent 10 cards, that's not bad.
  7. RedCom
    Yeah, the range is 3.3M to 3.6M, but on average, around 3.5M. So yeah, more or less the same as 2x P100. That's the conclusion I came to as well. I played around with a couple of VM configs to see what PPD was like, and then compared it to the $/hr. 4x T4 seemed to be pretty good. The $/hr rate goes up quite steeply for the Tesla *100 cards.
  8. RedCom
    I have a couple of VMs set up with 4 cards each, and they are doing around 3.5M PPD so....I make that around 875K PPD per card. In the same ballpark as a GTX 1080

    Nice, 301. Up 213 places since yesterday. Very kind of Google Cloud to "donate" 8x Tesla T4 to the cause. I just hope the $300 lasts until the end of this!
  10. RedCom
    Damnit, 514. I was hoping to sneak into the top 500. I guess I need to use those Google cloud credits and bring a few Tesla's online! Really should have done that from the start, but hindsight and all that!

    An overnight crash (my own fault, I set the wrong fan profile, and CPU thermal protection kicked in...n00b) really hurt my production yesterday, but I still managed to climb to 704...I'll take it!
  12. RedCom
    Nice, 784. I started this very slowly, struggling to get any tasks assigned at all, but whatever the problem was it seems to be fixed, and my GPU is now getting a constant stream of WUs. I had a really good day, jumping from 1173. Got my production up to the dizzying heights of around 1M PPD. Not record breaking by any means but decent on the hardware I'm using I guess!
  13. RedCom
    Yeah my stats have been up and down too. I've gone from 5,000 points two days ago (yes 5K in one day) to 507K in the last 24 hours. No changes made to hardware/overclocks etc, and no downtime.

    Wasn't sure where to put this, but technically it is tech :p Feel free to move it though. http://www.catgenie.co.uk/ The world's only self-flushing, self-washing cat box! The only automatic cat box that flushes waste away and, like a cat, washes itself clean. Prices start from 280 GBP, but I'm not sure if it can run Crysis.:confused:

    Damn...shipping to anywhere...that could cost almost as much as the prize itself! lol Shares: Facebook share from N.Green here: http://www.facebook.com/nigreen/posts/496956957034668
