BOINC Pentathlon 2023 - Obstacle Run (yoyo@home)

[GOTSpectrum]

So the forst project for the Pent is YoYo@home, in this case you must run ECM or ECM P2 Work Units. This mean the first think you need to do is set your preferences on the site. 

 

 

log into your account here, https://www.rechenkraft.net/yoyo/home.php or create an account with the project here on the boinc manager then log in.. Make sure to set your team to LTT. 

 

Next you want to Edit preferences here. 



You want to make sure you have these two ticked. 



Finally, run the project.

To bunker, simply set your client to turn off networking after it has downloaded WUs. I suggest using the Advanced view, it makes it easier. 

My Compute preferences 



Go to the network settings tab and set it like this to enable to download WUs



Finally, when you have a good number of WUs in the list downloaded make sure to disable all networking in the activity menu.

Oh, and for anyone joining us, ECM P2 seems to be quite RAM heavy (maxed out RAM and used a lot of page file on my laptop with 16GB RAM, and still couldn't run enough mixed ECM and ECM-P2 tasks to fully utilize the 6 cores) so if you don't have a huge amount of RAM relative to number of CPU threads, maybe consider selecting just ECM projects.

 

EDIT : ECM P2 tasks will quietly error out if you don't have enough RAM, so if you're unsure, just stick to ECM tasks!

Ok. This is the last time I am letting a P2 touch my servers.

300+ load average for a tiny 4-core. Geez...

P2 has been consistently so much quicker overall, about 2-4hrs rather than up to 2 days with ecm. 

Probably would be perfect as a 6 core, 6 thread 5600 with 32gb ram
