Title: TThrottle support for only 16 cores
Post by: KLiK on October 19, 2022, 07:04:07 PM
Hi all,
as I do have 2x Deca-core (10 core) system in my Workstation, so total number of my cores is actually 20 (or 40 threads). As that is more then 16, so the Temperature sheet & Graph sheets do not work. Does anybody else have a similar problem?

Thank,

More the n16, shouldn't be impossible, but difficult to test.

Well, given that more & more systems use more cores...maybe you can gives us a suggestion how to send you back some data & this gets updated? 🤷‍♂️

I will add it to the list, it's only the temperature graph that's effected by the number of cores, not sure if the driver can handle more.
Updating the driver will be impossible, way way to expensive and maybe not allowed.

Updated to 7.74 that supports 32 temperature cores.

Started to test this Beta v7.7.8, after the summer is over. (Sorry, catched this message too late.)

In Temperature sheet, there are most of the cores written (32 out of now 48) & all 3 GPUs. Previously v7.7.2 did not support GPU at all & had to run Tech Power-up to keep track of temperature on Teslas.  ;)

Will write more, as this needs to be tested on 24/7 basis.  8)

32 is as far as I can go.
Above 32 I have to rewrite the driver and that's very expensive, probably in the thousands of dollars.
Microsoft made it much more difficult to add drivers.

Here is a wild question, OK 32 is a limit. But can it be that you make 32 throttles limit for single CPU?

So you would on dual-CPU systems work on single driver for CPU, making it with 2x32?

A BOINC process is linked to a CPU, you could have 32 tasks on 2 CPU's.

Tested v7.78, seems stable. Works OK on 2x12c / 2x24t.

Suggestion: if the program can't run more then 32c, can you post only "core temps" & ignore the "thread temps"? This would give more accurate picture of working conditions of CPU.

Thanks
