1) Message boards : Bug tracker : No GPU work for AMD/ATI GPU since 09:00 UTC (Message 1931) Posted 6 Oct 2024 by Steve Dodd Post: I haven't been getting work for my NVidia cards, so first off the server status page is lying :). Someone needs to kick the WU generator? Steve
2) Message boards : Number crunching : GPU version: kernel size tuning and less UI lags (Message 1925) Posted 13 Sep 2024 by Steve Dodd Post: So, this thread hasn't been posted to in a while. Wondering if anyone has played with optimal kernel setting for RTX40XX (60Ti, 70)?
3) Message boards : Random stuff : Up to date list of project badges (Message 1903) Posted 11 May 2024 by Steve Dodd Post: Hey Sergei, Any consideration for badges beyond 1 billion? There are 66 people that have passed that mark; more to come. Steve
4) Message boards : News : Credit badges (Message 1899) Posted 3 May 2024 by Steve Dodd Post: Sergei, Any thoughts on adding total credit badges beyond 1 billion? Lot of people way past that mark now. I hope to be one soon :). Steve
5) Message boards : News : Beta test of part 3 of the 10^21 search (Message 1859) Posted 22 Mar 2024 by Steve Dodd Post: A couple of examples; I have more: amicable_10_21_14995_171119302.464452_958_0 amicable_10_21_18302_1711125302.366293_68_3 Looking at my other machines, it seems that those WUs beginning with "amicable_10_21_18302_1711125302.366293" are the ones taking an inordinate amount of time. Steve
6) Message boards : News : Beta test of part 3 of the 10^21 search (Message 1856) Posted 22 Mar 2024 by Steve Dodd Post: Sergei, Have you slipped a few whooper tasks in the latest batch? I've got some extremely long running WUs (>2 hrs) Steve
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Anyone Else Hit A Lull In Finding Amicable Numbers? (Message 1467) Posted 27 Nov 2020 by Steve Dodd Post: Steve, in that case I am not sure. I noticed overnight I got a few more pairs. I also noticed my impending have dropped considerably. I have noticed some people don't abandon or abort any work they have in the queue so before it can be reissued it has to time out. Speedy, True on the timeout. It appears the dam has broken, though. I've had my pending tasks queue decrease by a couple of hundred, and my A.N. count has started to climb. Would be interesting to hear from the admin(s) about whether something was constipated :)
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Anyone Else Hit A Lull In Finding Amicable Numbers? (Message 1465) Posted 26 Nov 2020 by Steve Dodd Post: Speedy, I don't know if that's the case. I only checked a few of the pending tasks, and there was only one other WU issued; no abandoned/aborted. And, fyi, my total did just increment (w/o my pending WUs total going down - now over 600). Fun, fun, fun :)
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Anyone Else Hit A Lull In Finding Amicable Numbers? (Message 1462) Posted 25 Nov 2020 by Steve Dodd Post: I have over 500 tasks in "pending" status. C'mon, wingperson :)
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Anyone Else Hit A Lull In Finding Amicable Numbers? (Message 1460) Posted 23 Nov 2020 by Steve Dodd Post: It's been over a week now since I've found any new Amicable pairs, and I'm crunching at almost 3 million credits/day average. Anybody else hit a dry spot?
11) Message boards : Bug tracker : GTX 1060 3GB - 2 hours and 40% (Message 1452) Posted 14 Oct 2020 by Steve Dodd Post: I have a 6GB 1060 that i think is locking up my computer (which also has a 8GB 1070). I'd reboot and as soon as the Amicable Numbers tasks would start to run, the computer would (hard) freeze, and I'd be forced to reboot. Running GPUGrid just fine now. Is 6GB getting to be too small for this search space?
12) Message boards : Number crunching : Um, Got a Couple of Whoppers? (Message 1364) Posted 24 Mar 2020 by Steve Dodd Post: OK. I aborted both. The longest estimate WU had climbed to over 206 days. The other had decreased to 60+ days, but was due in 4, so...
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Um, Got a Couple of Whoppers? (Message 1363) Posted 23 Mar 2020 by Steve Dodd Post: I've got 2 tasks running - one estimates it'll take 64+ days, the other estimates 182+ days. Based on how long they've been running, I don't think the estimates are too far off. Are these "bad" WUs? (BTW, they are both allocated 2 CPUs)
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Somethings must be faulty -> AMD gpu usage at nearby 1-2 % ? Clueless.. (Message 1177) Posted 22 Jun 2019 by Steve Dodd Post: For some reason, BOINC isn't registering my app_config file for Amicable Numbers project.

15) Message boards : Number crunching : AMD Card TU? (Message 764) Posted 13 Mar 2018 by Steve Dodd Post: Well, new driver seems to have fixed the issue. Weird (to me, at least).
16) Message boards : Number crunching : AMD Card TU? (Message 761) Posted 9 Mar 2018 by Steve Dodd Post: Well crap! I have a Radeon Pro WX5100 that i was using for this project, but in the last couple of days a WU gets to ~24% and just hangs. Seems to still work at Einstein and Albert and Prime Grid, so i'm wondering if anyone has noticed an issue with WUs here on AMD cards or do i really have a card issue. (and i'm sooo close to the next Amicable Pairs badge level!)
17) Message boards : News : Credits for the old application (search up to 2^64) doubled (Message 605) Posted 11 Aug 2017 by Steve Dodd Post: Are we all done with 2^64?
18) Message boards : News : Credits for the old application (search up to 2^64) doubled (Message 557) Posted 3 Jul 2017 by Steve Dodd Post: I, for one, am still crunching the old 2^64 app. I have a box that gets both versions for the CPU (2X12 cores, 48 threads). Now, I'm thinking about using my GPU to crunch these, too! :)
19) Message boards : Number crunching : Amicable Numbers ? (Message 546) Posted 2 Jul 2017 by Steve Dodd Post: Wee!!! Finally got one more. I've been stuck on 467 for MONTHS! :)
20) Message boards : Number crunching : Amicable Numbers ? (Message 504) Posted 26 Jun 2017 by Steve Dodd Post: Oh! I saw a recheck application and the regularly named app and thought we'd started on the new batch. My bad :)
21) Message boards : Number crunching : Amicable Numbers ? (Message 499) Posted 26 Jun 2017 by Steve Dodd Post: So, the new search has started but I have yet to find an ANP. Are these going to take more effort to find?
22) Message boards : News : Credit badges (Message 429) Posted 12 Apr 2017 by Steve Dodd Post: Guess I'll join some of the other badge hunters here in saying: I think the current levels make these badges a little more special than, say PrimeGrid. With regards to a comment suggesting white as a color for a more entry level badge, I was thinking that would be used for "diamond" if indeed more badge levels are added. Maybe a "hollow" star for more entry level badges. Just a thought :)
23) Message boards : Number crunching : Amicable Numbers ? (Message 405) Posted 4 Apr 2017 by Steve Dodd Post: Woo hoo! Found another one :)
24) Message boards : Number crunching : Amicable Numbers ? (Message 398) Posted 3 Apr 2017 by Steve Dodd Post: Stalled, too. But I knew this was coming. I'm wondering when we might expect the credit badges to start showing up?
25) Message boards : Random stuff : Are Badges On the Way? (Message 158) Posted 19 Feb 2017 by Steve Dodd Post: What do you mean, badge whores? :)
