I'm new to GPU (36K GHz days)
 

Hey.

I'm Chris from Canada.

I've kept a rack in my parents basement running P95, but programmed to throttle with their thermostat (Electric heat)

Recently back to town and have an extra workstation. It has a Quadro 4000, AMD Radeon 5450,
Intel W3565 Xeon Quad Core 3.2GHz
64 Bit and 8 Gigs of Ram running windows 10.

Anyone care to walk me though mfaktc setup?

i used the Nvedia Web installer to get Cuda 10.2 on the rig.

I'm an electrician, a welder and have 2 degrees but.... computer programming is not a strong suit of mine, i have not tinkered with windows in 3? years. :smile:

Thanks

-Chris

36,000 Gigahertz Days? You may want to elaborate on this much more.

If I understand the [url=https://www.mersenne.org/report_benchmarks/]benchmarks[/url] correctly (and I may not), this corresponds to about 625 days of actual calculation time, which in a cold region might take less than 3 years on a setup like the one mentioned.

I did not think AMD products could use CUDA. It has historically been [U]Nvidia[/U] only, I believe. AMD would use OpenCL. In this case, you would need [I]mfakto[/I].

There is a simple application called [I]GPU-Z[/I] which can display what your card can use. Do a web search for it, download it, and run it. Very simple.

Quadro 4000 is an ancient NVIDIA CUDA capable card, capable of mfakt[B]C[/B].
AMD Radeon 5450, would require OpenCL, mfakt[B]O[/B].
It's more than a little odd they're in the same system.
Quadro 4000 won't get along well with CUDA 10.2 (too new).

A possibility is that post 1 is a troll. There's only one post total from that user.
Mfaktc has a decent readme. Install. Follow it. Self test. Get worktodo entries. Tune. Report results using the manual results web page. If adventuring into MISFIT or other client management software, a working client app such as mfaktc verified operating manually first is a good idea.

i have a team of PCs.. and have been contributing for 10? years.

The setup have uses the house thermostat and inputs into an analog port, and for a while ran.. 30 ish servers? its been a while...

O have a building iv'e been heating with the above mentioned rig.. but i'd like to quadro to do something useful...

Thanks.. l will check out the link.

... i started out crunching bitcoin back in 2009... i bought a pallet of used but functional servers and put them into a 8 foot rack I got from the trash when a rural cable provider overhauled their setup. it came with a furman power conditioner... i had some help from a Ukrainian coder friend... i'm ligit.
