GPU to 72 status... - Page 209

James Heinrich · 2013-05-21, 16:11

At the risk of cross-posting, I'll repeat my request here, since it's relevant to discussions in this thread.
It has been brought to my attention that my CUDALucas throughput page is actually quite inaccurate, leading to inaccurate crossover point estimates. Therefore can I please request that everyone please run a quick benchmark for me, I'd like to validate (and update) the lookup table I use. Please run this simple benchmark on a wide variety of GPUs you have available and email the results to james@mersenne.ca (or PM me here if you prefer).

Code:

CUDALucas -info -cufftbench 1048576 8388608 1048576

James Heinrich · 2013-05-21, 17:58

Also, please run the benchmark with CUDALucas v2.04 if possible.

For GTX580 and GTX570, the benchmarks on your site look perfectly accurate for me (adjusting the numbers for the default clock, as my water-cooled rigs are overclocked, I mean, they come overclocked from the factory, like 781MHz for Asus' gtx580, for example, but I overclock them more in RL, like 820, 850, etc, depending of how hot is outside, and using the cudaLucas's default FFT lengths, because a small speed increase can be acquired by fine-tuning that FFT).

In fact, what you really need there would be a column with the clock at which the numbers were taken, as the results are different for different clock speeds.

Benchmarks on my site are for default clock speeds for that GPU (e.g. 732MHz for GTX 570). Wikipedia has a convenient list for default clock speeds.

I would appreciate your benchmark results (for as many different GPU families as you have), since the data from my own GTX 570 (and other users' results) show significant deviation from my posted benchmark data.

Thanks. I can no longer edit my post, but my benchmark request now includes a request for the first 20000 iterations of

It would be nice, if there was a graph for Dc and LL, along with P-1 in the monthly, weekly graphs, etc.

Good point!

The LL and DC work types were a bit of an afterthought -- I'd actually not even realized that perhaps graphing them might be interesting.

I've just taken delivery of seven new servers I need to configure for a client, so this new graph won't be ready for a couple of weeks. But please consider it on my "ToDo" list.

Here you are, I had to run it a couple of times, till I realized that the number of iterations is set much higher in the ini file, nothing came out for 20k iterations

, then that "polite" switch was wrong, then I had to delete the checkpoints between runs, etc, hehe.. well... I am aging... (I did not want to change my ini files, so I gave cmd line parameters). Therefore the rows with "iteration 30k" and "40k" (last two rows for each test) contain the correct timing (because row "20k" was runned partially with "impolite" switch, till I changed it). The last test is a bit of FFT "tunning", the program selects quite a bad FFT for this expo. On gtx580, the 3160 is much faster then 3200 (even faster then 3072, no joke!)

To be fair to P-1 workers who get their assignments directly from Primenet, most of the ~6,000 candidates in the 62M range TFed to "only" 73 bits will remain with Primenet until we've returned enough TFed to 74 to satisfy their requests for work (should be about a week).

In order to not starve Primenet's LL workers, those candidates (~3,500) with a P-1 run completed will remain with Primenet for the time being. We can decide if we want to bring those in for processing once enough candidates that have been TFed to 74 and P-1'ed are available to satisfy the request load.

As always, comments welcome.

Does this mean that an exponent is trial factored to some bit level (I saw a table somewhere a while ago detailing how far to go for a range of exponents), then P-1'ed and THEN released for LL testing?

Part of me feels like not enough P-1 gets done to keep up with all the LL-testing. EDIT: Or does "What Makes Sense" take care of it if it becomes an issue? I don't know that I've ever seen "What makes sense" in Prime95 ever generate anything other than LL-tests.

Yes.

I am happy to say that the "deep" P-1'ing is very slightly more than keeping up with the LLing.

We're "riding the wave"....
