So NOW is the time to get in gear!!
If Moo is in fact closing sometime soon, this could be a permanent #1 :cool:

We closed the gap with around 3.4 Mill yesterday...

Hopefully I should be adding a 5830 to Moo in about a week. Waiting on some small replacement parts for the card.
Dang! I just made my 10 Mil on Moo and had switched back to DNet, now I gotta go back to Moo.
Did Moo ever fix their muti GPU issues?
I am running one machine with dual 5870s. With the core manually set to 3, it has been very stable for me.
I'm running dual 5970s, core manually set to 3, CCC 10.10. Once a week, I get the odd WU that never finishes, but I'm getting 1.2M/day on this box.Quote:

Yep, me too.Quote:

N = the number of cores (not threads!) you have. So on a quad core, that works out to 4-1=3. So go into BOINCmgr, Advanced -> Preferences. At the bottom of the first tab, change it to 75% of the processors. On an 8 core machine, like a dual quad core xeon, set it to 87.5%.Quote:

On an I7 (even a Sandy Bridge) you may need to leave a full CORE not thread if you are running dual 5870s. On my machine with a 5970 and GTX 570 it takes 26% of the processor. A FULL CORE so even with a V8 you need to set use 75% of processors.
As Maxwell says, the object is for the GPU to be at 97% load full time ... anything less and you are losing credits that the CPU crunching can't touch!
I actually do it another way. Install the program ProLasso (Process Lasso) and using that you can set priority and affinity for all processes. I setup threads 6 and 7 for the Moo GPU programs (dnetcxxxxxx) and set the priority to HIGH. Then for any CPU tasks I set them for threads 0-6 with normal priority. On the 5970/GTX 570 I do the above but I set the primegrid wu to threads 0-6 with HIGH priority.
The benefit to totally isolating the GPU core is that the GPU doesn't have to interrupt a lower priority CPU task to get serviced. Even this minor delay causes a loss of GPU processing.
Yeah. Me too. I do what Bryan does. With the exception that I have an AMD box, do 1 core = 1 thread for me... ;)Quote:

No Joker this isn't the time to take advantage ... remember I get even!
So.......I CANT grab your ears??? =))=))=))Quote:

No, and I don't have a flat head either so you have to hold your beer :)Quote:

Sic should be toast in a few days so will head home after the weekend.
Apologies for the reduced output.....trying to work on my Collatz 100m.
Not anymore, they just passed us in the Project for Total Credit, probably not much we can do about it since they are putting out 10 Million more a day than we are ... 3:-O
Perhaps not now but we are going to be relevant once again.Quote:
