GRC magnitude growing slowly
Hello, I started crunching about 5 days ago. I am using 2 Dell servers(details below). I know the MAG is supposed to grow in time, but in 5 days i got to only 10Mag. Is this normal or is there something wrong? I am crunching NFS@Home and number fields.
Server Details:
Dell Poweredge R710
2x Intel Xeon E5620 16 [email protected]
32GB(8x4GB) RAM DDR3 ECC
1x 146GB(If i remember right) 15k SAS HDD
Dell Poweredge R810
2x Intel Xeon E6540 24 core@2GHz
32GB(8x4GB) RAM DDR3 ECC
1x146GB(same as above) 15k SAS HDD
Your RAC will level out after about 2-3 weeks, and does the same when it goes down.
MAG is based on your RAC compared to the teams total RAC, so 10 is good for a project like NFS@Home after just five days.
Good luck with your crunching and thanks for your contribution to science!
Ok. Thx for the reply. I plan on using gridcoin to grow my processing Datacenter. I am glad that the processing power is getting diverted from pointlessly hashing.
Out of curiosity, how loud are these servers? I have a similar setup to your R710 on the way.
Well, it is not as loud. In idle, it is like a whisper. Even in full load, is still good. I keep mine in around 23-24°C and is not bothering. I would not keep it in bedroom, but doesn't sound like a jet engine. If sound is a issue, try the HP. I was amazed by a HP DL360 G7. In idle i could not hear it.
Before trowing rotten vegetables at me for torturing the servers with such temperatures, I want to say that this is just a hobby so a AC room is way too expensive at this point.
If they work 24/7, you should get to 50% RAC in seven days.
If you're reward focused, try 4 or more projects concurrently for a week and see which are getting best magnitude on your systems.
I have bought Dell T5500 with 1x e5645 and supplied it with gtx 1060, what is my all round work horse. I have throttled boinc-cpu usage to only 30%, as with original passive only heatsink otherwise cpu goes easily to 80C. I expected Dell designed it better or I miss something.
I am not familiar with that model, but many servers and towers have airflow guides. It may be because you miss that. The enterprise towers are built differently from regular gaming towers. They usualy have big fans in the front and then guide the airflow where is needed.
My R710 does not rise over 65 even after a week of full load. The R810 does stay cooler. I guess because it has only 2 out of 4 CPUs fitted.
