TPU's Rosetta Milestones and Daily Pie Thread

[Zachary85]

I had thought about that, but I had checked my cpu before I started Rosetta, and it does support AVX. It is an intel i-5-3330 and it does include that instruction set.
The memory modules were not identical, but close to the same specs. The new memory is a kit of two modules. Figured it couldn't hurt to give it another shot before WCG comes back online.

Well here we are everyone for the Rosetta Pie Stats update for the 11th May 2022......

And now for the milestones and stoners for the day....

Sadly no one today but there'll hopefully be someone soon !!
I hope that everyone is doing well and is ok?? Not a bad turn out today since yesterday and the day before there was no one able to get any work, hopefully a turning step forward?? Maybe I guess!! Well take care everyone and I hope to see you again soon for another update

Well here we go for a Rosetta Pie Stats update for the 12th May 2022....

And now for the milestones and stoners for the day....

Sadly no one today, but maybe tomorrow if we have some more work units coming through Here's hoping eh?? Well I hope everyone is doing alright and is ok... Hope to see you all back again tomorrow for another update Take care and take it easy!!

Well here we go for the 13th May 2022 for some Rosetta Pie Stats .....

And now for the milestones and stoners for the day....

Sadly no one today but there's always another chance around the corner I like to think, well, providing we can get some work units..... I hope everyone is doing alright and is well and ok?? Not a bad showing for us today, hopefully tomorrow is going to be a little better but sadly I've had my machines on today and no work units have been downloaded so I'm guessing that might be a no no....

Take care everyone, I hope everyone is having a great day!!

Those unicorns are hard to catch. I had 2 machines on around six hours yesterday and every commercial break I went to them and requested work. I got nothing other than 13 trips upstairs. I got lucky today after less than a hour, got eight, two errored out after two hours, so 32.5 points/hour for the faulty ones and six hopes of 50 points/hour (Win10, 2700X). The Linux 2700X yield 20% more but that’s the one upstairs .

Edit: 52,4 points/hour for the four good ones. Four errored out! 32,4 points/hour. I will stop running Windows on that machine. I will miss HWINFO but enjoy better points and hopefully fewer errors.

As much as I love helping out local projects and stuff, i think I'm cutting it quits for Rosetta until they get their stuff fixed. Looking at this thread just shows they messed up and can't get any of it going normally.

 

[phill]

I'm finding it hard to keep on with Rosetta for the lack of work units that are actually coming out. I've been hoping that my 6700k can hit the 2 million point mark so I can retire it and use the system for something else. I've a couple more AMD rigs I could use in its place which are double and triple the core count and that use just as much power but I do wonder if its worth trying to get jobs for the system if there's never any there to download or when there are, they are so few and fair between.. Its really quite frustrating as I am sure everyone else as @Toothless has voiced, its just annoying.

If people do wish for me to stop with the updates but keep an eye on Rosetta then please do let me know. It really never used to be this bad when it came to dishing out work for people to just download. I wonder if the lack of WCG has got more people involved with this?

 

[Zachary85]

I decided to try and run Rosetta again after I replaced the memory in my one machine that can run Rosetta a few days ago. (my other PC's don't have enough memory, or the capacity to add enough)
Still getting the same old crap from Rosetta. Work units that stall out after a couple of minutes but keep showing progress for 18 to 20 hours, and then I get between 1 and 2 points for my efforts. I didn't think it was my hardware, but I gave it one last shot.

These Pythons…

 

[Zachary85]

Pythons... So named because they squeeze the crap out of your resources.

 

[Nordic]

I have BOINC set up with a 90% resource share to WCG, 9% to Rosetta, and 1% to Milkyway. This way I always have work, and if my preferred work is available it will do that. As soon as WCG is back, I will be doing that automatically.

 

[phill]

Well everyone, here we go for the Rosetta Pie Stats update for the 14th May 2022......

And now for the milestones and stoners for the day......

Well sadly there's no stoners but not the points we all are hoping for so we won't go down that road lol
Everyone I hope is doing well and are ok? Here's hoping the WCG will be going ahead soon Think we need a bit more diversity with the not getting much crunching done Here's hoping that will change soon.. Take care everyone!! See you all again tomorrow for another update

 

[phill]

Well hello and I hope that you're all well and doing OK? Here we go for the Rosetta Pie Stats update for the 15th May 2022.....

And now for the milestones and stoners for the day....

Sadly no one today but unsurprising with only poor @Zachary85 being the only one for the day....

I haven't received any jobs today so I'm guessing I'll be out of the running for tomorrow sadly I hope everyone else will have a better chance!! I hope everyone is doing well and is alright ?? Hope to see you all again tomorrow for another update

 

[Zachary85]

I'm only getting Python work again. After a few days of no problems with the python units, this morning I only had two of four cores running, and no other jobs waiting. It took two (linux) PC reboots on my i-5 to send up the the stalled jobs (the typical bad work units showing over 7 hours of total time ... but less than 3 minutes of actual cpu time).
After looking around on the Rosetta forum I see that I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm "SO" looking forward to WCG getting back up and running again and not needing me to babysit my only machine that can run Rosetta.

 

[phill]

Well here we are again everyone, the Rosetta Pie Stats update for the 16th May 2022.....

And maybe now for the milestones and stoners for the day....??

Well sadly no stoners today but again only poor @Zachary85 being able to return any results.... Nice work Zachery85, again same story for me... PCs on but no work distributed out whilst the PCs where on.. Well crunch some and we can't crunch some I guess....

I hope everyone is well and doing ok? Hope to see you all again tomorrow for another update Take care everyone!!

 

[phill]

Well here we again everyone, time for a Rosetta Pie Stats update for the 17th May 2022....

And now for the milestones and stoners for the day.......

Sadly no stoners today but at least we have had more than 1 member contributing to the teams total today Great work guys, impressive stuff indeed!! Still hoping to catch some work units myself but not sure I'll be getting much done since we'll be having rain for a few days according to the forecast (so maybe sunny??....) will hopefully be able to catch something soon I'd like to retire my 6700k and its just getting rather close to the 2 million points I'd like it to hit lol Damn frustrating!!

All the best everyone, hope to see you back again for tomorrows next update

Since I more or less gave up babysitting Rosetta I had time to evaluate the last results, the rb_05_16. I got some on all three active machines and @Arjai got four as well. 2700X, 16 GB, 3466/14 51,4 points/hour for 7 jobs concurrent , 2700X, 32 GB, 3200/14 8 jobs concurrent 56,7 points/hour, 3900X, 16 GB 3800/16 four concurrent jobs - 118 points/hour, all mine and running under Linux. Arjai got 4 on his 3700X,16 GB Windows 10 and got 78,7 point/hour. Memory and cache size is King when it comes to Rosetta roberta (rb units). A good CPU bench comes second

 

[phill]

Good job I'm trying to move away from my 6700k @mstenholm and go on to these two 3900X's I have.. I don't mind Linux, it seems to be ok, its just such a shame when it comes to folding as well, it seems to be such an effort to get that working??...

I’m sure that good people here can help setting up an Linux folder for you. It’s worth it for WCG/Rosetta and in the past for folding as well. Yes the 3900X is a good chip. The number one Rosetta CPU ATM is a 3900X but that could be down to luck and hard work and the 96 GB memory it has. Top CPUs

 

[Nordic]

I can't see why a 3900x would perform better than a 5900x or 5950x.

 

[mstenholm]

Neither can I but the list is topped by a 3900X . Both 59xxs are surely better CPUs.

I'm not so worried about some of the setups as they have RX480's in them and they just are no good for folding on. Nvidia GPUs much better at dishing out the points, a 1070 isn't too bad, might be able to gain about 700k from it in a about 10 hours or so, I think a 1080 TI is about 2 million for the same time. The newer GPUs are good for crunching but their power draw is kinda high. I mean my 3090 and 5950X rig can suck nearly 600w from the wall just folding, thank god I tame the beast with a 80% power limit since that drops it to about 480w instead.

I think with the price of the 5900X right now, if I could I'd buy two to replace my 2700 and 2700X for crunching on but sadly that'll have to wait I'll probably just stick with Rosetta and WCG on the two 3900X systems and leave it there. The rest will be WCG and some with the better GPUs in, will be folders as well, unless they don't have the core count for the CPU. The rig my two RTX 3070s are in has a dual core in, so we won't be crunching on that one

Here we are for the Rosetta Pie Stats update for the 18th May 2022....

And now for the milestones and stoners for the day??........

Well another not so great day for TPUs contributions to Rosetta which is a shame and sadly nothing that we can do anything much about... I hope everyone is alright and OK today... Lets see what tomorrow's results bring us

Take care everyone!! See you tomorrow with some luck!!

 

[Toothless]

Is there any word from Rosetta about their awful work output?

 

[mstenholm]

Is there any word from Rosetta about their awful work output?

No. As far as I can see the last officiel statement is from the 5th of November 2020. The best information I got was from old contributors and they are only slightly surprised about the radio silence. WCG should be back on the 25th so we can warm up our silicone to a steady warm state again.
