Well done. Just a little bit more to catch up to some :P
A little closer to visschman now.
Jason you are well and truly safe at #1 in this project, you own it.
You never know what new hardware could do to a slight lead.
A mere new two-socket Epyc server could run 256 WUs at a time...but I have to win that lottery first.Quote:

256 threads running needs 128 cores (with two-way multi threading)
128 cores is either
- two 64-core Epyc 7662, 7742 or 7H12, needing one mobo, one PSU, one set or RAM, one SSD, and one video card. In long term maintenance/running costs the cheapest option.
- two 64-core Epyc 7702Ps, needing two mobo's, two PSUs, two sets or RAM, two SSDs, and two video cards.
- two Ryzen Threadripper 3990X systems, needing two mobo's, two PSUs, two sets or RAM, two SSDs, and two video cards. <-This might actually be the cheapest option, purchase-wise.
- eight Ryzen 9 3950X CPUs, needing eight mobo's, eight PSUs, eight sets or RAM, eight SSDs, and eight video cards.
- sixteen Ryzen 7 3700X CPUs, needing sixteen mobo's, sixteen PSUs, sixteen sets or RAM, sixteen SSDs, and sixteen video cards. Think of the noise and the heat....
You could do a few systems headless, but I try to have a working GPU with each and every one of my active systems.
i'm running my 1700X headless outside of my room lol (easy access in case i need to reset it as it likes to freeze when going idle after a video encode)
If GPU makes it to open pandemics project at WCG that would greatly help your pharm reach new heights at wcg. I hope the addition of GPU goes well for this project.
I have to dust of my GPUs and start getting a platform ready. This could be interesting when the GPU application launches for this. It has been a long time since WCG has had a project with a GPU application
Congratulations with the 50 year Diamond badge!

That calls for either a Radeon 5600XT, or a wait for a new Ampère (named after André-Marie Ampère) GPU from team green......Ampere could offer anywhere between a 10 and 20% IPC increase over Turing and double the Tensor cores per SM. Ampere will also offer 4x the ray tracing performance per tier......Nvidia Ampere Purportedly 50% Faster Than Turing At Half The Power Consumption. When you have more systems you can divide the GPUs over your farm. Some crazy rumour has it that AMD GPUs are better in Intel systems and nVidia does better in AMD systems, but that's just hearsay/heresy!Quote:

whereas 2 3990Xes are $3600 + $400 minimum for board
edit: via Microcenter, i could also do 20 3600s (with B450M DS3H since VRM requirements aren't as great) for $4160
10 3900Xes are 456 GHz in total (base) whereas
2 3990Xes are 371.2 GHz
edit: and 20 3600s are 432 GHz
...and with the 10-20 system scenario, you might be able to save a little on SSDs if you make a server and maybe get the other systems to netboot somehow
did someone (of importance) mention that this was coming/likely/whatever?Quote:

The information came from the WCG forum If the link doesn't work it is under wcg forums, active research, open pandemics, monthly calls with researchers. The admins mention it in this thread that researchers are working on it and have had promising results with it moving to WCG testing it. Internal alpha phase at WCG then I imagine we will see a beta phase when they are happy with internal testing. Hopefully all goes well and we see it soon.Quote:

any pics of the farm??
Vaughan had his 10-years diamond badge today -and lots of other members have new badges too as compared to last picture of team badges:
https://z-p3-scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcd...3e&oe=5F57DA61
New badges at WCG's Mapping Cancer Markers (sentient_life, ruby) and the Microbiome Immunity Project (dcallejas, also ruby). Links lead to our facebook page.
20 years badge earned in Open Pandemics COVID-19 today, yay.
That's the latest news, our team badges doesn't even show it yet:

Congratulations on your 20-year diamond, and also congratulations to our other new badge winners!
