Do you like BOINC? Care to try http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/ ?
HT on on this project. Set

lasieve5f - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: yes

at
http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/...subset=project

You need at least 1.3GB per thread.

Forgot to add, set this

Swap space: use at most 90% of total
Memory: when computer is in use, use at most 90% of total
Memory: when computer is not in use, use at most 90% of total

at http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/...?subset=global.

For me I do like some control over the clients. I like command line settings and execution, must have proxy support, and reliable stats for correlating clients to work output.

[guru]

Ok here is my real frustration with the SOB stats. Yesterday I shutdown most of my clients and the rate for the day was ~1.3 M jEMs/sec in the 7 day graph. Just a few hours ago I fired up the rest of my systems I was running before. Now the rate for yesterday jumped to ~ 2.6 M jEMs/sec. Stats need to be fixed with respect to time. At a specified time and date the amount of work done needs to be static. Only then can you track your performance.

[guru]

I think I've figured out how the graphs work now. I'm not fond of it but I at least can make some sense of it. Time to turn up the heat. 24 AVX cores and 4 AVX2 cores added.

Great!

If you were building a box today, which avx2 cpu would you use? Whatever a guy can afford?

[guru]

It depends on the purpose. Is there a specific application you are running(other than SOB) that needs avx2?

[tim]

Just SOB, the Prime95 client. I sometimes use my boxes for LAN gaming, but seldom. I was curious because I think it would be fun to look at building again. I would guess that going forward more projects would take advantage of the newer instruction sets.
