What do you use for plotting and what times do you get?

I use a Supermicro SuperServer 4048B-TR4FT with 1tb of ddr3 1333 and 4 Tesla p4 gpus win10 for workstation edition. Output to raid 0 15k sas drives. Each p4 complete c-14 nossd plots in 10 minutes. So 4 plots every 10ish minutes average of 1 plot every 2.5 minutes. I had bought this back before gpu plotting was a thing. I was using it for BB plotting because of the large amount of memory and it has 4 CPUs.

You probably have a lot simpler solution to plotting than I do. :laughing:

Have to keep it simple or the beer gets too warm…

Speaking of drinking and tinkering……I ruined a $1200 sas controller once because I forgot to flip the power switch on the power supply off before removing it from a Pcie slot…… :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

Are you creating these plots with GPU or CPU? I didn’t think C19s could be created with CPU, but you never mentioned a GPU.

A tesla p4 should make a nossd plot in 4 minutes

I think IIRC @drhicom is using a 3060.

My Tesla P4 takes 7.5 minutes, and my 3080 was 2 minutes 16 seconds, running simultaneously, but its been a while since I plotted. That’s on Linux Mint 512GB ram and GH c19.

Under Windows 11 P4 was 10 minutes and 3080 around 5 minutes, hence the move to Linux.

No ssds were harmed in the making of my plots. I output to a sas 15k disk raid 0 array.
