@ Eric

Thanks a lot for jump in here in this thread.. :-)


@ Mark

Yes, will do.. you know.. I'm a 'crazy' SETIan.. maybe - like you? ;-)

with an rac of 53,000, the answer to that is a YES!!!!!

You have also some nVIDIA GPUs?

Your RAC could be also little bit more higher here.. ;-)

Thanks Eric. This sounds like my current issue for machine ID 5019936, but unsure. Posted in thread 'Client detached - but not', partially repeated here:

"Right now I am seeing 'Scheduler request failed: Error 403' and have 569 tasks that are not going up."

Is the issue being worked on going to correct my 403 error, which I do not see on any of my other machines?

Should I detach and re-attach? Wouldn't I lose my 569 tasks though?

Thanks.

Hi Al,

You shouldn't need to detach. I'll check our upload server. It's possible that something is wrong with it.

The fix to allow more WUs to machines should be enabled, but it may take a while to clear out the current counts.

Hmmmm... Here we go towards the weekend and it looks like the Server Status page is frozen again (@ 11:20:11 UTC)

Still frozen in time....
Hopefully it is like the last time that there were no updates for over a day and the splitters, scheduler, and server stay active and work keeps flowing.

In any case, I suspect the boyz are still in the lab and would kick something if it really presented a problem.

Now getting the no new work message again, well it is the weekend again and it is slow to get onto the boards as well

I just got about 90 WUs across two machines, but it took several tries. The WUs are being created, but they're all shorties, so they're getting picked up quickly.

What's going on in Berkeley?

Why they disabled the 500 WUs/GPU ????

Well the WUs/GPU seems to have changed again, it's now 800 WUs/GPU !!!!

Claggy

You really think a GPU can digest that many units in a day?

Then again, you guys probably invested in one of those standalone-shoebox-sized machines.

Is there like a table or list somewhere of the different CUDA cards and the a) approximate time to plow through a MB WU (per instance) and b) how many WUs can it plow through at one time (number of instances)?

Would really help me decide which one I want to save up for.

The GTX395 CO OP that I bought is really snappy......
It's got my 920 rig up to the #13 spot or so........
Not a cheap card, but my oh my it does crunch.

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

Well heres the thing:

The rig in the basement was meant to be a video editing stuido and now also functions as a audio recording station. We spent $3,000 on the microphone alone.

Because we were to be doing HD video editing, we got the most expensive card NVIDIA had at the time. This was about two years ago, around September '07. Apparently, CUDA did not exist then. The card we purchased had one thing in particular we needed: 4 monitors, with only two 'slots' taken up. All of the two monitor cards took up two 'slots' and all of the slots were full with other equipment. So we ended up getting the top-of-the-line NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 X2. Had we waited a few more months, we could have gotten the 4700 X2. Both are $2,000+ cards.

The current one works just fine, but dad found out that Adobe products can use the CUDA cards, too. So when the economy improves and everyone has a job, we might get a 4700. Supposedly the best card available.

How fast can a 4700 X2 plow through a WU, and how many can it do concurrently?

PS: I checked with NVIDIA, and the while the 4500 technically meets the CUDA specs, there is one little change that was made to the GPU between that and the 4700 and that difference is what made it not CUDA compatible. They would have to rewrite the engine and even then some CUDA functions would simply not work.

AFAIK, they have now 900 WUs/GPU enabled.

One of my 4 OCed GTX260-216 make an AR 0.44x WU in < 10 min.

Shorties in ~ 2 min.

0.44x WUs -> 144 WUs/day/GPU

Shorties -> x5 = 720 WUs/day/GPU

Ahh.. BTW..

Back to topic.. ;-)

Again.. 'no jobs available'.. :-(

Hard to say what's afoot, seeing as how the server status page is still on the fritz.

Hopefully, all is still running well in the background.

Looks like the stats dump is down as well.

Ah well......they shall all be there when it's back up......

Keep 'em crunching.

Those silly arse stats dumps do raise hell with the Boincstats graphs tho....LOL.

Cricket graph is bottomed out. With the server stats page being frozen and Cricket down on the floor, one would make the assumption that either the download server has locked up, or the splitters ran out of tapes to process.

Linux laptop:
record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up)

Is there a particular cause this time? Parents just agreed to let CUDA run on their new laptop and it won't get any new tasks.
