Multiple WU's on multicore CPU?

[orangecat]

Just curious if anyone knows if you can get more PPD and WU's completed if you make more CPU slots. I have a Ryzen 3700X and because I have 16 threads I was wondering if it might make sense to do 8 threads and have 2 slots going at once (assuming I can get a WU).

I have heard they are optimized for 4 threads per WU, but I am not 100% sure if that is true. Maybe someone else will chime in

There is a way to do this on BOINC, but not Folding@home.

At least not that I have seen

all I know is one unit will hit all 24 threads on my 3900x and that completing faster gives more points

 

with that said I can't run my cpu because even using 4 thread's I'm at 90c+ with my stock hsf

You can set how many threads a slot is allowed to use. I'm just curious to know if setting it to anything other than -1 makes sense.

you can easily split up a CPU.

 

OP:

CPUs have so little work no need

You can turn down the package power limit to compensate. Load clocks might be slightly lower when you hit the CPU hard but it shoudl helpo the temps. Also stock ryzen cooler should be enough to fold on. Maybe TIM wasn't applied properly?

So I guess there's no point then? I figure it might help get more WU's since I've been starved for them most of the day. Right now all my slots are going but when they're done there's no guarantee they'll start up for another hour.

it won't help we are all CPU starved

Is that a uefi/bios thing? I haven't messed with it at all *built it saturday.  Also I did a good coat of artic ceramique

WU starved too

I meant CPU WU starved. I've been fairly consistent on my 580 and 660ti

Ahh ok.  I've only had 3 WU's today on my 2080 super and actually shut off my 1070 after 6 or so hours with no WU's.  Just turned it back on since I started getting some on my new machine but it's still timed out

You can do it via Ryzen Master software but you're better off doing it in UEFI. Just set your PPT limit lower than the default 88 watts. Maybe try 65 and see how it goes.
