Got my rigs setup on Einstein as well now. Can you run more than one WU at a time like with S@H? 1. Yes. 2. No. On the 590 I process Einstein WU's 2 per gpu, each one takes about 36-37 minutes to crunch through, so You might not want to do more than 1 per gpu, it's faster to do 1 at a time, but if You have 1.5GB to 2GB You could try it and You have to set the parameters over at Einstein here from 1.0 to 0.5, this can be found at this line below.

You might want to check this discussion out next time there is an outage here and you are feeling lost because you can't find the post button. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8105 Of course this is also on a computer at the SSL so it will be down during the Jan 4-6 power outage, but perhaps for less time than Seti is down. |

But it was also the first chance you had to do it this year... |

LOL...got me there. I didn't realize I was being so punny. I should have said it was the first time this WINTER I had to run the furnace. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Well, duh? If my GPUs were not out of Seti work, I would not have had to. No worries there. They're normally snoozing on the nice warm waterbed. The temp controller is set to 82f, so they can stay as cozy as can be. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Hmmmmmmmm..... Seems to be a disturbance in the uploads on the Cricket graph. Either something else fell over in the server closet, or..., could it be..., the Lone Ranger poking about on New Year's Day??? "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

A water bed.... I wonder if that would be a large enough thermal mass to act as a radiator for a water cooling system? |

A water bed.... I'm sure it could be, although you would not want the water to get up to 82f for most efficient water cooling. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Hmmmmmmmm..... Three hours later -- it seems like someone's in the control room but comments here have dried up. May we live in interesting times... |

most of synergy`s proceses are not running, gon all red, and as for the cricket even the thin blue line has falen off the page. `we have been normalized` much the same as asymilated but less work gets done |

I've got an experiment I'd really like to try, but I'm scared... :-) My nVidia card has been out of work since early this morning, however, I've all these CPU 603s lying around. I checked, the files labeled 609 (cuda23) are identical to the ones labeled 603. So, I added this entry to the end of my app_info file; <app_version> <app_name>setiathome_enhanced</app_name> <version_num>603</version_num> <avg_ncpus>0.040000</avg_ncpus> <max_ncpus>0.100000</max_ncpus> <coproc> <type>CUDA</type> <count>1</count> </coproc> <file_ref> <file_name>Lunatics_x41g_win32_cuda32.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>cudart32_32_16.dll</file_name> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>cufft32_32_16.dll</file_name> </file_ref> </app_version> After restarting BONIC I received this; 1/1/2013 2:42:04 PM | SETI@home | Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform 1/1/2013 2:42:04 PM | SETI@home | [error] State file error: duplicate app version: setiathome_enhanced windows_intelx86 603 This would appear that it might work if I removed my CPU 603 entry from the top of my app_info file. Then again, I might lose all my 603 files including the ones waiting to be reported. I have quite a few 603s already uploaded and waiting reporting.... I also have a few of those nasty vlars that I've been suspending least the nVidia card try working on one. So, what do you think. If I suspend CPU work & vlars, stop BONIC, remove the CPU entry, then restart, will I have success or will I lose all my 603 files? I was hoping to at least report the completions before trying this, however, I'm growing inpatient. |

The feeder and the transitioners are not running... The Cardinal is beating the Badger at the Rose Bowl. As Eric is a Badger, you had better root for them or it is likely to stay offline for a while. ;-) |

I've got an experiment I'd really like to try, but I'm scared... :-) Success! I chose a safer route and merely moved the CPU entry to the bottom of my app_info file, below the nVidia entry. Then suspended all remaining 603s and restarted BOINC. Once again I received; 1/1/2013 6:12:00 PM | SETI@home | Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform 1/1/2013 6:12:00 PM | SETI@home | [error] State file error: duplicate app version: setiathome_enhanced windows_intelx86 603 I then resumed one non-vlar 603 and the nVidia app started the task. I then resumed another non-vlar 603 to see if a CPU would start the task, it didn't. The first 603, with an estimate of 2 hours, finished in 27 minutes. It's on the 2nd 603 now. The only down side I see is this might have a negative effect on the CPU Estimated times for the 603s. The up side is, your nVidia card now has twice it's imposed limit of 100 units. There has to be something I'm missing... :-) |

Just a note .. If you do something like this, you (not only for this WUs, maybe also for a few following) and your wingmen will get less Credits. The tasks are still online marked as CPU WUs, but finished much faster (on the GPU) than the CPU WUs normally do, so you get less Credits. Because SAH grant the lowest Credits of the paired results of one WU, the wingmen of all this WUs get also lower Credits granted. Because of this it's not longer recommended to use e.g. BoincRescheduler since CreditNew. E.g. let crunch secondary BOINC projects and let the client_state.XML file like it is - and don't edit the app_info.XML file. * Best regards! :-) * Sutaru Tsureku, team seti.international founder. * Optimize your PC for higher RAC. * SETI@home needs your help. * |

As many of us know, the Cricket graphs tanked at about 1850 PST Monday night. Something crashed hard. At about 1100 PST today, I got bounced out of the Cafe forum with the message "Project is temporarily down for maintenance." The SSP showed everything except the 4 main databases as "Disabled". About 1500 PST many of the server functions were back online, and I was able to return to the Forums. As of now more functions are showing green, including the upload, download, and Scheduler, but the Feeder is still off-line and the Cricket graphs are still down in the noise. I suspect one of the guys came in to do a restart, but things are not coming back up smoothly. Hope it all gets sorted soon, but if not, I've got enough work to last until Thursday.

There has to be something I'm missing... Hummm, that sounds more complicated than simply adding that version entry to the nVidia entry, then removing it when the servers are back... |

Just a note .. Interesting. So, using your logic, we shouldn't use the optimized Apps at all. Seeing as how they drastically reduce the work time and result in reduced credits and all. If I wasn't using the optimized Lunatics CPU app, that CPU 603 task would take close to 5 hours instead of the 2 hours it does with the optimized CPU app. Do you recommend not using the optimized Apps? How about faster video cards/CPUs, they also drastically reduce work time... I'm really not interested in any other Projects. |
