No, not a sad story! Such can probably be reported from North Korea. Childhood in the East was wonderful. I didn't miss anything. Good family, grandparents with plenty of time, kindergarden, good schools. There was no poverty—but also no prosperity or wealth. (don't get me wrong... I'm not advocating communism—but the opposite). There was just hardly any modern technology, no (own) computers, no cool toys, no high-tech tools, only extremely expensive TV sets, no modern cars. A state planned economy cannot produce such things efficiently. The world was small, a trip to the sea or even to the neighbouring country Czechoslovakia were rare adventures. It doesn't depend on money but knowing the right people. Most adults missed freedom, especially traveling. The world was narrow and too 'gray' for them (like the facades of all the uniform prefabricated building complexes in towns and the look of bedraggled historical city centers in (so-called) 'peoples property' = irresponsibility). But in the TV or the radio everyone saw (and heard): there's a bigger world. Our radio was then rusted to 94.3 'RIAS 2', the German-speaking station of U.S. occupation authorities in (West) Berlin—the coolest station on earth which some still miss today. West German TV and radio stations, transmitted with extreme power from mountains near the inner-german border or from West Berlin, could be received almost everywhere (and East Germans were experts in antenna construction). But children hardly missed anything. Their parents decided what to do and where to go anyway. ;-) And before I reached an age where one had to arrange with socialist ideology and the limits of freedom, the new era began.

You wouldn't do that in today's Germany. Electricity prices truely skyrocketed and it's only partly due to the war in Europe. I'll prepare some new thread here simply on facts and detailed numbers on electricity prices, which elements the price consists of and how it developed within the last year. I think, that's maybe an interesting topic for the future of Citizen Science, BOINC and so on. I think we don't know from each other how expensive it is to run a 'cruncher' in the U.S., in Europe, or e.g. Australia.

[EDIT:]  ... sorry for deviating greatly from the thread's topic. END.

My Intel GPU had started

My Intel GPU had started clocking Einstein GPU tasks at 748 MHz now it is down at 299. The CPU is an Intel i5 running 12 tasks at once. The others are Einstein CPU tasks , SiDocks@home, NumberFields@home, Universe@home, DENIS@home all given me by ScienceUnited since being in a Residence home I don't have my papers and cannot remember all my passwords.

Restart the pc, in Windows there is no way to restart a gpu without restarting the pc, sometimes Windows say NO MORE and the gpu just doesn't work like it should, a reboot should fix it if that's the problem.

If your 6 core (12 thread) i5 is running 12 concurrent tasks as well as an Intel GPU task, it's no wonder the machine is really struggling.

I tried to look at your computers list.  The account you are logged in under shows no current hosts.  When I include the non-current (> 30 days) hosts, I see an i5-9400F listed that has a GTX 1650 GPU.  It last contacted the host back on December 26 and has no tasks listed.  If that is still your current host, it must now be listed under a different account and not the account you are currently posting under.

It would have a different host ID which you would need to tell us if you wanted advice.  You can find the current host ID for this machine by looking through the startup messages in BOINC Manager (or looking in client_state.xml).

If that machine is your current machine and still has the GTX 1650, you should disable the Intel GPU and use the much better discrete GPU instead.

I had a look for different 'Tullio' users on Einstein.  I found these five with their BOINC IDs.  You are posting under the first one.  Is your current computer perhaps registered under one of the others?

  • tullio - 6186
  • tullio - 447483
  • Tullio - 803938
  • tullio querini - 33400
  • Tullio65 - 585241

 

Cheers,
Gary.

Since he is using Science United, his computer is probably crunching for their account.

I am not Tullo Querini, I am

I am not Tullo Querini, nor tullio65 I am Tullio Chersi.

My current computer is now under Science United because, not being able to remember all my passwords, I rejoined Science United where i have done many MilkyWay@home  tasks but also Einstein@home tasks.ScienceUnited saved all work I had done and recognized me as a user.

You were right, thanks, Now

You were right, thanks, Now Intel GPU is doing 748 MHz.

From my Science United

From my Science United records I have done for them 1914 Einstein@home tasks. I shall keep watch on this number.

Never having used Science United and seeing your RAC will it go down since you are crunching for them and not your own account?
