Hi there I want to know if there is a way that I can get more tasks to compute? I can click update but only "2" run on my pc. Then on my Raspberry Pi cluster I have 4 running on the at a time. I see other users on here that have average million?! How is this possible? I can only get with my pc and pi's up too 2k avg. How can I get this number higher? On my pc and pi's?

Thanks
Scott

Keep looking UP!

SETI@Home uses CPU cores, one for each work unit, it cannot do more, so your Pi's can do 4 at a time your PC 2 at a time

Most of the users with high RAC are using graphics cards (GPU's) to process work. GPU's can process work faster than CPU's. Also on Linux there is a "special app " that can boost the speed even more.

Many users have multiple GPU's that can easily get large RAC's

I run one Linux machine with just 2 Nvidia GTX 1060's and it maxes out at around 83,000 RAC

OK so how can I speed up the process on the Pi's?
I know the Pi's have GPU.
Yes I guess that is my question how can I get a high RAC #?

Nobody has written a science application for the Pi's igpu. You are most welcome to do so.
To get high RAC, use hardware supported by the projects, preferably mainstream Nvidia and AMD.

ok I seen a few videos on youtube now about 13 GPU mining. basically if I ran that I would have those numbers. Looks expensive for me at the moment. Wish I could contribute like that!

I hope this down time is over soon! My work has been finally reported. No new tasks yet.


Always Looking UP!

It usually takes an hour or so before the schedulers start sending out work once they start accepting work upload reports. Be patient. You are in a 100,000 large feeding frenzy pool of empty hosts.
The trick to reporting is to limit the number reported to a small value of 50 or so. And then set NNT to not ask for work. The scheduler is more likely to recognize your report when you don't ask for work.
I have 15,000 tasks or so to report. Will take most of the day.

Just so you can see the difference in various processing speeds:

Note these are very "average" values based on a few samples from validated tasks

Raspberry Pi takes around 8 hours per task therefore 3 tasks per day

Your Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU B820 @ 1.70GHz tasks around 7 hours per task therefore 3.5 tasks a day

My Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz running windows 10 and using the Lunatics optimised app takes around 1 hour per task 24 tasks a day per core ( I only run SETI@Home on 2 cores so I don't slow the machine down.)

My Nvidia GTX 1660Ti running on the above machine takes around 10 minutes a task 144 tasks a day

My Linux machine does not run any CPU tasks but has 2x Nvidia GTX1060 running the optimised app, each card does a task in around 3 minutes so 400 tasks a day per GPU

As I have said these are very rough figures and different types of task take different amounts of time to process, but I hope give you an idea of how to process more tasks.

At the moment the fastest way is a modern Nvidia GPU running Linux with the oprimised app
