November 18th 18:00:00 UTC until November 23rd 18:00:00 UTC we will be having a 5 day challenge running the AP27 Prime Search project. http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=7084 Looks like the folding TZC will be over in time for this PG challenge. The AP27 WUs are both CPU and GPU. But GPU is the way to go with these WUs.

Will be very interesting if the TZC is finished, I will throw all 10x GPU's and a tonne of CPU cores in.. Got some CPU's currently in shipping, will upgrade from 2.0Ghz 6 cores, to 2.4Ghz 10 cores. Jumps that computer from 24 cores to 40 cores...

You guys are going to spank me in this PG challenge.
I been doing ok so far this year though.
But hey, its ok with me. hope on or more of you guys can finish in the top 10. I doubt, well I know I won't this time.
Good luck guys and gals.

Looks like the TZC will be finished in 4 days, so all should be good for the AP27 Challenge..

Can someone test the newest driver for the challenge? I know only core 21 folding tasks on Pascal, but does this cause ap27 tasks to fail? If someone could test the old and new drivers it would be appreciated. I wish I had time to check and benchmark it myself.

I do not have time to check, so I am using the older drivers...373.06 for now...

I'd rather test it myself then, what's a few bum units between friends. Lol.......
Besides, you guys have the CPU horsepower us poorer folks lack. Or are you guys too poor after buying them cpus to buy them gpus?

Exactly, also can't afford the electric to run all those CPUs.

Just lost a AIO cooling pump in one of my Folding machines....with 3x 970's installed.... Just ordered a replacement, so fingerscrossed it will arrive and be installed Friday....

Funny I lost my H80i Last week and replaced with the H115i. It was on Sale over on Amazon for only $109

I have never had a GPU for crunching PrimeGrid before. What do I need to do to get my 1070 working for this challenge, besides:
1. Finish current [link=mailto:F@H]F@H[/link] WU and then disable [link=mailto:F@H]F@H[/link] client
2. Enable GPU crunching for the right project on the PG website
3. Enable BOINC to use GPU
Anything else? app_config tricks even?

This was a NZXT, will not buy another, Corsair so much better from my experiences...

That's it. No app_config tricks for a single gpu, a single wu uses 80 to 99% power on my 980ti. If running multiple gpu's in 1 rig you may need to run the cc_config to use all gpu's. Do a test and let us know the time to finish a wu. Also I'd leave the older drivers alone if you are going back to folding later. The wu says it uses .22 cpu but I don't see any increase in task man. You may want to back off a core for it though. 980ti takes 25 min per task. Edit- or do what bcav says.

You can use the app config and run two WUs on one GPU. If you can do 2 WUs less than the time x2 to do one WU it is worth it.
Some times yes, sometimes no. It will load up the GPU and give off more heat.
Still having mild days here in NY, starting right now to not accept more WUS in WCG, I'll have to shut some down if I want to run GPUs
Gets way too hot in here.

26:12 for a single WU on a GTX 1070 SC. I don't know if that's good or not? I will try running 2 or 3 at a time, if I have any time before the challenge starts.

Can you post a link to your 26:12 time about that seems very long, like this http://www.primegrid.com/result.php?resultid=754634070Sorry I corrected my settings <gpu_usage>1.0</gpu_usage> if you change this the read 0.5 then it will run 2 Tasks Per GPU. (My testing show this is best on my Rigs 980 or 1080 cards. http://www.primegrid.com/results.php?userid=273570&offset=0&show_names=0&state=0&appid=111 Task Per GPU 1080 Run time 1,136.24 and Run time CPU 52.06 1 Task Per GPU 980 Run time 1,828.16 and Run time CPU 48.47 One Tasks Per GPU <app_config> <app> <name>ap26</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>1.0</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> Two Tasks Per GPU <app_config> <app> <name>ap26</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config>

Seems about right to me. My 1070's take about 1460 seconds (~24 minutes) run time with about 60 sec of CPU.
