Umm.. No. Increase the RAM size, and you increase the data going to and back from the RAM and CPU. That's an additional bottleneck. This doesn’t match with the numbers this software produces on the hardware, since all numbers and indications so far has shown that the more RAM a WU is using on a FAH...

Fun Fact:
On the 2 systems running, the setup using i5-6600 and 7 x RX580 is around 15% faster than the G4400 running 5 x RX580, when both machines happen to run WUs from the same project for comparison. This is stable over several days in time and not a once in a while thing.

And how does it look like in FAH logfile when a job gets flushed? It stops the progress, does the errors and uploads. 10:28:53:WU01:FS04:0x22:Completed 3350000 out of 5000000 steps (67%) 10:35:09:WU01:FS04:0x22:Completed 3400000 out of 5000000 steps (68%) 10:39:39:WU01:FS04:0x22:ERROR:exception: ba...

The Servers don't differentiate between the speeds of GPUs, just the architecture so it doesn't know what Pascal GPU is a low-end or a high-end one. However, it does get the RAM available so some researchers might use that if their Project uses a significant amount of RAM. However, like you said, i...

I can tell that Windows bottlenecks on x1 risers much more than Linux. On Linux for RX580 your would get 450k PPD. The PPD is really all over the place, since I also get jobs where I have 490K PPD, but they are not as frequent as the 350K ones are, but I do suspect that Linux would do better than W...

You can always pause the WU that corresponds to your primary GPU (where the display is connected to), if you want to have a more fluid desktop/Youtube experience, just as long as you don't forget to unpause it after you finish. Regarding screen lag, you can disable hardware acceleration on some pro...

It is not expected that FAH processes fail on 100% CPU load feeding the GPUs. What fail do you see? What seems to happen at constant 100% CPU load is that one or more FAH processes time out and the jobs flush before they are done, so I suspect that there is some kind of “I am alive” timer somewhere...

Generally speaking, the amount of RAM used generally corresponds to the number of atoms being simulated. The more atoms in a simulation, the more RAM is being used. For CPU, it boils down to how often the checkpoints are written as there's validation checks being performed on the CPU to verify the ...

The setup uses Windows 10, as it says in the post, but I do suspect that running Linux would be slightly better regarding the CPU load for multiple GPUs at the same time, since there would be less waste for the CPU on OS overhead. It is not that I can’t run all 9 AMD GPUs with the i5-6600, but then ...

Lots of discussion going on about this, so I’ll add my experience with Core 22 in a multi GPU system. I took a couple of my ETH Mining rigs and put Windows 10 on them for easier comparison. Initial Setup: ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ 9 x AMD RX580 8GB on 1x Riser Intel Pentium G4400 (2 Cores 2 Threads) 4GB ...

I also have issues with uploading to that server. 05:59:45:WU03:FS04:Uploading 218.06MiB to 13.82.98.119 05:59:45:WU03:FS04:Connecting to 13.82.98.119:8080 05:59:52:WU03:FS04:Upload 0.09% 05:59:52:WARNING:WU03:FS04:Exception: Failed to send results to work server: Transfer failed 05:59:52:WU03:FS04:...

May this needs some upgrade after all its been 12 years since its release Woot, are you mocking my highly elite gaming machine ;-) Well, I just wanted to test if there was any point in putting together boxes with all the old hardware collecting dust, but as far as I could see the PPD on this old st...

Please add the GeForce 9800 GTX to the whitelist if possible.
