Process Ideation
Plan
Make initial test trimmed down. Try not to do overly much.
Data Points
- Peak power draw, note any anomilies
- Idle power draw →69.6 →73.1 W, 50→ 71 W, mostly around 67W
- Monitor:
- GPU core temp
- CPU core temp
- Power draw anomilies
- Memory usage
- CPU/GPU usage for anomilies
- Time of test to complete/and/or score
Methodolology
- Will run these test with nothing else running on the system, other than system functions
- Restart before doing testing
- Using the proprietary Nvidia driver
- Will use stock specs, as would be used in a productivity setting
- Power data from a Poniie PN1500 Inline Monitor
- Monitoring using lm_sensors, Psensor as a front end for anaomolies only
- 1070 temp sensor
- Monitoring the temperature of the die
- CPU Usage
- 1070 graphics report ←usage
- 1070 memory
- Free memory via gtop2
- Torch ← 1.7.0
- Note taking app will be open for noting results
Specs
- GTX 1070
- Ryzen 3700X ←artifically cut down to a quad core for more consistent results (one CCX) and a more balanced system in a productivity space
- 32GB 4x8 DDR4 3200MHz TIMINGS
- All under a watercooling loop with two 360mm radiators, DDC pump, and low speed Noiseblocker E-Loop 2 fans. Configured for silence, but with plenty of thermal overhead for the system at hand.
