Problem is how slow they get handed out, luckily I only made the mistake on my home systems not work as well so the damage was only 3k jobs. But while I was changing Number over to http, no idea why or how mine were https but w/e, my work systems got blocked so they aren't getting any Numbers jobs. So dumb.

 

Work is running Rosetta for now and is still going to be able to pull down Numbers jobs, upload limit of 0.5KB/s so any Rosetta jobs that do complete in the next half day are so unlikely to upload it should be fine.

The Number jobs are incredibly small. I limited the upload to 1KB/s. Does it let you go to 0.5KB/s?

Yep, just went to 0.01KB/s lol

0.01KB/s for 1min. Ain't none of them WUs gett'in out.

 

I'll update the VMs tomorrow. I want to see how many they knock out in a day.

Can someone that knows what they are doing please confirm the following steps as to what I should be doing.

 

Tomorrow, May 2nd (sometime after 00:00 UTC), I should grab 3 days of Rosetta@home tasks then "suppend network activity". I then leave my systems crunching away until sometime after 00:00 UTC May 5th when I turn network activity back on to upload all the results I have stored up. I then carry on crunching  Rosetta@home tasks until someone tells me what the hell to do next.

 

Does that sound about right ?

 

Do we have an official team coach to tell us what we should be doing and when ?

Yup, that looks about right. Additionally I set:

[Gorgon]

OK,

 

I have 3000 Marathon Tasks in the queue and tomorrow morning I'll restrict the upload for most of the clients.

 

Lots of Disk space left so it looks like there are a lot more small, fast projects in the queue.

[Windows7ge]

I have no reason to need to know but for shits'n'giggles who's bunkering what?

 

I'm on Javlin.

Gorgon's on Marathon

leadeater's on Marathon & Javlin?

 

Anyone else?

[marknd59]

I'm on Marathon not a lot just 12 threads on a R7 1700 and 10 threads on a R7 2700X but every little bit helps.

 

I'll be able to kick in 2 RTX 2060's an RX 580 and a RX 590 if we get some GPU work.

[leadeater]

Just ran the numbers, going to cost me $250+ for the 2 weeks for this

Starting bunkering for javlin with 20 cores / 32threads

Might bunker cloud instances for the marathon if I manage to find 1hour to set it up

So apparently number likes nvidia gpus but not amds ones

So there are CUDA jobs? I've only got AMD and zero tasks so assumed no GPU were out.... if there are GPU jobs on offer for Number then me running my CPUs on it is totally pointless...... argh

On my only nvidia laptop (RTX 2070) I got  a bunch of cuda jobs, they seems to be the same as the cpu ones just taking 10min compared to the 1hour of the cpu ones 

 

Considering aborting the jobs on the other computers to make them run rosetta instead. Wonder the penalty for that.

 

Might be spinning one or two T4 to help then, as they are on AWS its less annoying for me to setup than the IBM cloud ones

Figured it out for AMD

 

 

Did that and got OpenCL GPU jobs right away.

 

@Windows7ge

Think it might be best to put CPUs back on Rosetta.

[ffbr]

Ok numbers task are so small that even by limiting the upload rate they still are released. Trying to block boinc upload in the firewall now.

[ffbr]

It seems highly inneficient with amd cards...

Around 1h for the cpu, 8min with a rtx 2070 and 45min on a vega 56

On my 290X's I've had 40min, 58min and a one is about to complete with ~20min. Seems kinda random to me.

Where did you find that ?

Thanks

[marknd59]

It's only using 1 of my GPU's any idea how to get it to use the other one as well ?

 

 

EDIT forget that it's now started to use both.

Hi all... been reading as much as I can to catch up... got my clients setup, doing the marathon.

Just wanted to confirm... there is no personal registration, sign up, etc. to be counted in the event...  from what I gather the event scores are based on the teams, so as long as i'm running Bonic/Rosetta with my team set as LTT... I'm good to go?

 

[marknd59]

I think I screwed something up but I don't know what. The status for Rosetta@home on 1 of my systems says "Will remove when tasks done". That does not sound good to me, what does that mean and how do I fix it

[ffbr]

The task using my vega 56 and HD 6970 are taking longer than on cpu cores. I am gonna finish those and switch  back to rosetta.

 

For the javelin are the project switch for each throw?

Just sign up to the Rosetta@home project and join LinusTechTips_Team and that is all you need to do to participate in the marathon event. It's a teams challage so the team signs up rather than each person.

 

There are 4 other events during the two weeks so if you want to help out with those keep an eye on this topic over those 2 weeks.

nice!
I'm def in.

Another interesting thing about number limiting the upload lead to high project backoff, I am currently at 5hours+ 

Hum another thought, might be the 100s of task I had to cancel on my amd rigs ...
