So I should let my 7950X run 2 tasks at a time (16 threads a task), leave my 5700X running 1 task at a time, and split my 12900H to run 2 tasks at a time (10 threads per task)?

The first two got it correct by default

Yep, other than 12900H which is... I dunno lol Stupid E-Cores

 

Maybe try 6 threads so 3 run at once, 2 on P cores and 1 on E-Cores

I think I'll try it at 10 threads per task, see what it manages, and then swap it to 12 per task (effectively disabling the e-cores) and see if that is better or worse.

I've set it to 4 threads max per task here.

Mind installing BOINCTasks then going to the project view, adding the tasks per day column and then report here what that is? Might help to see what is best, however all the WUs have such wildly different run times it may be difficult to get anything useful out of the tasks per day numbers.

Still curious about this bonus stuff for the steeplechase, think maybe we should bunk some NFS @leadeater to hit the bonus hard?

There is no bonus for NFS work. It's for MW and bunkering that is basically useless due to how points are validated. We do however need to bunker NFS 12 to 16 hours out from the start of the next throw.

It says 0 at his point, probably not enough history.

Yeah. I'm at WU lengths anywhere from 3 minutes to 33 hours at this point.

 

 

Forgot to mention on one 16-thread machine I have set to 4 threads, downloaded some, set to 1 thread, downloaded some, so I can essentially run 3x4 and 2x1, if I max all 16 it slowed down a lot at least on nfs.

We got this 

[Kilrah]

 

Managed to add my other machines to BoincTasks, this is what I get at this point

Main one still 0, but it's probably because I only started today while the other 2 were used to run a couple of tasks before to see how it worked

LTT goes weeeee!

LTT produced the second highest points last update, keep it up guys

Seems to be becoming a trademark shape

 

Where do you get those graphs, just manually?

That is unfortunate

[GOTSpectrum]

Next update we should see some gains

[Kilrah]

I have about 45% of my units validated at this point...

[Lightwreather]

Is this, uhhh, is this normal?

Feels absurdly low for me but idrk

Also, what's validation inconclusive?

Varies pretty wildly here too...

An overclocked CPU or RAM can lead to this?

[McDaWisel]

So are we all in on MW?

I think it's when I added BoincTasks to the 2 other machines and it probably stopped/restarted the BOINC client improperly, each machine got 3 failed WUs around that time, nothing before/after

Relies on CreditScrewNew so maybe best to run CPU benchmarks to get a baseline
