if no new work is sent out the work load will get lighter as no new work comes in from the faster machines and the new servers will not be hit with the returning wu,s because there will be none for a few hours after start up and the slow machines like mine can have the covers taken off and dust cleaned off

At this point, we are discussing what we will do between now and when the new servers are on line.

Swimming up stream a bit, perhaps this is a chance to learn something. Cut back on wuproduction as far as you can such that the 'system' doesn't crash. I realize there are many variables, but without getting into the weeds just try to see what works on a reduced scale. It will help understand things as they are enabled more fully later, I bet.

Is the load really the problem ? I mean, recently with all the hiccups the load has to have gone down, but still the hardware is crashing randomly.

thanks for the update i am curious tho Tod Hebert and the rest of the GPU users group has sent Eric and Jeff multiple messages starting on oct 8th about
DONATING a FULL OSCAR class Server (actuallu I think some of are specs were better) and never even got a responcei was a little surprised that a 10-15k
server donation would have been ignored even if not used for the main it could have definately had a purpose
(AKA) KewlGhoul seti classic

no there were no conditions on it except maybe naming it we just never got any responce we asked them what they wanted plain and simple

id like to think that their email or pms were broken we threw them the offer id think some responce even if a no thanks would have been nice if there pms were broken they may see this in the thread and get back to Tod on our offer

i do wish they would start using us volunteers to a larger capacity
i know the right phonecall to Leo Apotheker could have probrobly gotten them
both of those servers free as a charitable donation and write off instead of a 20% discount

As some have taken a dislike to my posts I will make this post as my last comment on this subject.

Benefits that can be garnered from moving to the cloud

“I’ll never buy another server again,” said the Director of IT for a
medium-sized Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company, only partially in jest,
after recently completing the deployment of a new corporate website for his
organization. This website (a PHP based application with a MySQL backend)
showcased the corporate brand and the primary online lead-generation
capability for the company’s business. Before the overhaul, it was run from
a redundant pair of web servers hosted by one of the leading managed-hosting
service providers at a total cost of roughly $2,200/month. The company
replaced the infrastructure for the original website with a cloud
implementation consisting of a pair of virtual server instances running for
roughly $250/month—almost a 90 percent savings! Its quality of service
(QoS) team monitored the performance and availability of the website before
and after the change and saw no measureable difference in the service
quality delivered to end users. Buoyed by the success with this initial
project, this organization is looking at all future initiatives for the
possibility of deployment within the cloud, including a software-build
system and offsite backup.
