I could argue that Nvidia is taking the same path Intel is that lead them to falling behind. Intel catered to their enterprise/business/server market. Lots of higher core count CPUs, but for servers only while leaving the consume stuff at low core count like quad cores and what other things...

I think you need to get yourself on that individual user list for team 198 so its saved in the ether forever.

Crap, one of the breakers tripped. Used some gorilla tape to hold it in place so it wont move. Seems to have worked. edit Tape didnt work. Had to use a wire coat hanger and some screws to keep it from flipping. Dont think I lost much production.

I think I might be overloading my breaker... nothing has tripped yet so I guess that means its okay.

So the the computer started in huge institutions like Universities and Corporations, then landed in everyone's homes just to go back to their University and Corporations birthplace. Its like mankind. Start crawling, then learns to walk, then learns to run, then cant run and can only walk...

Given your past issues with network connectivity and the F@H servers. I would probably test this before full deployment. It requires a constant connection to the server that handles this remote web control panel from each host its watching. I don't think it's sending much data, but an...

it keeps a huge history of everything all your hosts connected to the web client has done. just click the "i" on them and see what they're about.

Stef, are you not using the new v8.5.5 client? If so, I recommend using it. It will display all your work units on the web control panel and you can click on each work unit to see what it does.

Run on team 198. ;)

I had a failed NVME drive on a dual EPYC setup once. Ended up using a USB thumb drive running a live Linux distro for longer than I care to admit off it. Everything worked fine until it rebooted or lost power 😂

With that much RAM you could run most things in a RAM drive so it doesn't add wear to the flash drives.

Just means it's not marketed towards consumers. Doesn't mean consumers can't obtain and use them.

I also forgot to mention when selecting the project to make sure you UNCHECK any other projects so only ESP is selected. I think by default it selects one of the projects for you and its not ESP. Might be one of the sieve projects.

Joining the team. Once you have all this setup. You'll need to join the team on Primegrid. Go back to "Your account" on the primegrid web site. On the right side you'll see team information. Click find team, then type "team anandtech" and look for the team and click join.

I started a thread showing how to join the Primegrid Challenge series. https://forums.thefpsreview.com/threads/joining-primegrid.19250/ So we don't clutter this F@H thread with BOINC talk. Sorry about that.

A few of us on the team buy hardware specifically for BOINC/Distributed Computing and have decent sized farms that can do a tremendous amount of computing. Most of the hardware comes from eBay. Buying decommissioned enterprise hardware for relatively cheap. Not sure if you're wanting to get...

I sure hope so. That's the only thing I care about.

Yeah, its just one plug pull away from being dead.

Any updates on this?

I find BOINC more fun. We have multiple competitions during the year that we compete in. From the Primegrid Challenge Series which one is set to start in a few hours. A competition the team has dominated in the past few years winning something around 30 challenges consecutively and counting...
