Wouldn't this over-write my web prefs?

No it doesn't have anything to do with your web preferences.

It can just modify the server defaults for the app that the devs put into place.

The values are just for server scheduling purposes to help evaluate the host loading and whether there is more room to send you more work.

It doesn't affect how the application runs.

Why would you think a Titan V is a single slot card? It’s a dual slot blower. Similar to your blower 3080Tis 

im only comfortable running them right next to another card because the card is only pulling 120W and the dual slot cooler keeps temps well enough at 100% even with just a small gap for airflow. 

Ah.

Because the website listing has 7 Titan V's for that system.

they’re water cooled. 
 

but the 4x system that is slowly getting upgraded is not watercooled. The stock Titan V cooler is a 2-slot blower cooler.

That is a very cool system. Thanks for sharing that picture!

Just for comparison: my 4060 Ti draws 89-93W out of 160W for E@H BRP7 tasks.

you are returning results with about 450s runtime. is that with 1x or 2x per GPU?

That's with 1x. Times with 2x were nearly identical. Running the Petri app.

Ideas are not fixed, nor should they be; we live in model-dependent reality.

Random question.

 

I have an RTX 3090 running just MeerKat BRP7 tasks, just one at a time.

It runs 0.2 CPUs + 1 NVIDIA GPU.

Is there a way to set it to 1 CPU/1GPU or does that even matter?

Keith Myers and Ian&SteveC have repeatedly pounded it into my head that the entry in the app_config.xml file for "amount of CPU" refers to the minimum that the BoincMgr will require to run a GPU task.  It will allocate more CPU resource if it needs it.

I believe the "default" for the CPU is 0.9

I am running 0.1 on this system because I have a really dinky CPU (2 cores, no hyper-threading) and 4 GPU's..

<app_config>
<app>
<name>einsteinbinary_BRP7</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>1.0</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.1</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
<app>
<name>einstein_O3AS</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>1.0</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.1</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

On a Windows system you have to make the folder called "ProgramData" visible and navigate to the Boinc folder.  Under the project folder you will see the Einstein at home project.  The "app_config.xml" file goes in there.

HTH,

Well, the xml file had a syntax error and just wiped 1,000 tasks from my client. That's awesome.

A THOUSAND tasks what are your cache settings set at? And do you have times where your internet sd down or do you have 'always on' internet. 'A;ways on' internet means you can have a smaller cache size as everytime Boinc returns a task it will get a new one to replace it unless you already have enough.

My settings were to store 10 days of work, 10 additional days of work, each task took about 5-6 minutes and I just let it do its thing.

Always connected to the net.

Google a xml syntax checker and see if you can find/fix the error.
