1) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : M1 Mac mini - Error while computing (Message 100116) Posted 23 Dec 2020 by jeff_b Post: [quote] (But given that I use my crunchers for heating, it would be quite an outlay to replace them all with enough Mac Minis to keep my flat warm…) The Mac mini is not hot enough even keep my coffee warm, so no chance with your flat :-) Roughly for the same amount of work that the Mac mini is doing a day, my old work dell tower (i7-4xxx) is pulling around 100 watt (if I’ve rembered correctly), and again for roughly the same amount of work my pi cluster is 45 watts and runs just warm enough to keep coffee at a reasonable temperature.
2) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : M1 Mac mini - Error while computing (Message 100112) Posted 23 Dec 2020 by jeff_b Post: I may of had the same problem as I was getting a few computing errors when I first set up bionic on the m1 mac mini. But since I've got mine configured as not to sleep, and I don't have any problems, and its been happily running for about 3 weeks. On average I'm getting around 700 credits per task (lows of 300 and highs of 1000) which is about double of my old 2013 iMac (with i5-4570), which I am surprised with seeing as rosetta is running with rosetta... if you see what i mean. I have it set-to run on 3 cores and with that is only pulling 24 watts from the wall socket.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : horns named project files causing pgtables out of memory errors in boinc all others run fine (Message 99744) Posted 22 Nov 2020 by jeff_b Post: So far my 8gb pi is working ok with horns project files (so far), but my 4gb pi cluster doesn't like them so have to delete them.
