| Grumpy Swede Send message Joined: 1 Nov 08 Posts: 8358 Credit: 49,849,242 RAC: 65 | RAC as of now 732.84. Not bad for an Atom CPU, with a NVIDIA ION Cuda capable GPU. Clue to get it stable (was very flakey in the beginning) was to use Reschedule to move all VLAR's AND VHAR's to the CPU, and reschedule/move non VLAR/VHAR to the GPU. The VHAR's crashes the display driver almost every time, aborting the VHAR WU. Well, if I forget to do it, the opti app would abort the VLAR's anyhow. Edit: forgot to add link to host: ATOM Sten-Arne |

| Grumpy Swede Send message Joined: 1 Nov 08 Posts: 8358 Credit: 49,849,242 RAC: 65 | Still rising, RAC 773.87 now. The power draw at the wall outlet as of now is jumping between 55 and 62 watts at 223 volts. I run the CPU at 85% max only, because I'm a cautious general :-) At 100% CPU, the power draw is 62 watts constantly. The GPU temp is maxing at 60 degrees centigrade, and the CPU core temps is 50 and 53. All seems pretty nice I think. Sten-Arne Edit: And without Boinc running, CPU idle GPU idle the power draw is 44 watts. |

Verster Send message Joined: 21 Apr 04 Posts: 3252 Credit: 31,903,643 RAC: 0 | Hi, almost the same RAC and power-draw, compaired to a HP (T2400) Laptop, exept it doesn't use CUDA, 'card/GPU', not suitable. It draws 42Watt's and has a RAC of 720 now, running 3 project's: Docking; Einstein and Leiden Classical, none of them give a lot RAC, specially the latter Couldn't resist to mention this as I was thinking of building a 'desktop', with mobile CPU ('s) and GPU ('s). Most RAC/Watt, does come from CUDA or a combination. But still a good result for that combination! |
| hiamps Send message Joined: 23 May 99 Posts: 4292 Credit: 72,971,319 RAC: 0 | Hi, almost the same RAC and power-draw, compaired to a HP (T2400) Laptop, exept it doesn't use CUDA, 'card/GPU', not suitable. According to my calculations it would take about 47 of those machines and use 1983 Watts to compare to my i7 rig @ 600 Watts to get a RAC of 34,000. So actually not so cost effective at Seti.Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! |
| Keith T. Send message Joined: 23 Aug 99 Posts: 961 Credit: 537,293 RAC: 9 | My Atom Netbook has had a SETI RAC above 200 since 12 Jan except for 1 day when it fell to ~193. The peak was ~270 a few day ago. I only have SETI, SIMAP and LHC allowing work at the moment. SIMAP has had work for last 9 days, and probably will have for another 4. I like their tasks, as the crunch times are around 3 hours each on my CPU, and they usually award more credit than I claim. My current total RAC for active projects is over 290. |
| Fred J. Verster Send message Joined: 21 Apr 04 Posts: 3252 Credit: 31,903,643 RAC: 0 | Hi Hiamps, you're right about that, it's the fast GPU-card's, that makes an efficient cruncher. And a Laptop uses less, depending how bright your display is set, or if the screen is on or off. With sceen off, it uses 30Watt's, 100%CPU use . |
| 1mp0£173 Send message Joined: 3 Apr 99 Posts: 8423 Credit: 356,897 RAC: 0 | I have an Atom N270 sitting here at sixteen watts total. If you could put a single PCI CUDA card in it (or even ION plus a PCI card) it might do quite well. I do realize that there aren't many PCI CUDA cards. |
| HAL9000 Send message Joined: 11 Sep 99 Posts: 6533 Credit: 196,805,888 RAC: 57 | I have an Atom N270 sitting here at sixteen watts total. The highest CUDA card for PCI I've seen is a 9500GT. I only found it as we were searching for some higher end PCI cards for old test systems that have built in 8mb Ati rage video.

| hbomber Send message Joined: 2 May 01 Posts: 437 Credit: 50,852,854 RAC: 0 | Can videocard on PCI-e x16 and integrated graphics of ION, work together, both GPUs. In systems like this one http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=A330ION Manual doesn't say. |
| Gecko Send message Joined: 17 Nov 99 Posts: 454 Credit: 6,946,910 RAC: 47 | Short answer = Yes. If using Windows, Just need to extend desktop to 2nd card via Control panel > Display > Settings. |
| hbomber Send message Joined: 2 May 01 Posts: 437 Credit: 50,852,854 RAC: 0 | Just one more clarification. I mean, internal graphics do not switch off, in BIOS level, when external card is installed? |
| OzzFan Send message Joined: 9 Apr 02 Posts: 15688 Credit: 84,761,841 RAC: 28 | Just one more clarification. I mean, internal graphics do not switch off, in BIOS level, when external card is installed? It states it in the manual, section 2.4: If you install the add-on PCI Express VGA card to PCIE1 (PCIE x16 slot), ...and section 2.5: This motherboard supports Surround Display upgrade. With the external add-on PCI Express VGA cards, you can easily enjoy the benefits of Surround Display feature. I would say that it supports using both integrated and dedicated graphics providing you set your options correctly. |
