Finally... My Threadripper CPU has arrived! I built the system yesterday and fought with windows the entire day today. After struggling for over 6 hours and hitting the same blue screen over and over again, I decided to go with Ubuntu for now.
As soon as I fired up Boinc and registered for the first project - I went solo now! - I saw 34 Tasks running at the same time and almost fell off my chair.
I have meanwhile changed my cpu project to LHC and added GPUGRID as well.
As I have not found any posts about someone using a threadripper 1950X for Boinc tasks, I plan on making this a series and maybe gathering some data about my magnitude and rac per project as I am now able to work on 8 projects at the same time with 4 tasks each. This allows me to directly compare the earnings of all those projects simultaneously and obtain more reliable information.
So leave me a comment in case you are interested in seeing a comparison of the projects. Keep BOINCing!
