Yup. GPU or CPU, tried both.

My 1060 has been idle for a few days now, so I moved it back to GPUGrid for the time being. Mark, I'm sure GPUGrid would very much appreciate your fleet of GPUs and it might even help bump the team's project rank. They might as well do something meaningful. At least until Stanford can get their issues sorted out.

Tentative race start time is 10am EST-USA tomorrow.

Whoever did the custom stats tracking last time ( @Ken g6 ? ) can you have a script that soon??? :/

@Ryan Smith gave me a hint and I got stats working!

http://tastats.atspace.cc/ta-th-20/

Stats updates guaranteed within 30 minutes from the hour or it's free...of a stats update for that hour.

I'll reset the start point tomorrow.

Can you pick two colors other than red and black? My colorblindness is enough that they essentially look the same unless I concentrate. Either that or can the line be thicker?

That occurred to me. AnandTech's colors are sort of red, white, and black. So are Tom's Hardware's. Any suggestions?

Edit: I'm now using a blue from the AnandTech homepage.

At this point, getting a WU feels like I'm winning the lottery.

 

[Assimilator1]

I was going to fire up my 2nd rig to get an early start on F@H, but I think I'll hold fire for now!

opening up the FAHControl Client Advanced Control on my desktop and seem to be having some "Connecting" problems. It says at "Connecting" for very long time. i remember once today i didn't do anything and got a GPU project and a CPU project here and there. But lots of time spent idle. Is this normal?

No it isn't normally anywhere near this bad, but it seems that F@H HQ has been sucked dry of WUs due to the exceptional high demand of so many extra people & a few companies joining in!

 

[rise]

Just added a 3700x with a rx570 so I got that going for us, lol

Stay safe everyone, be well and lawdy bless us!

 

[leexgx]

the main issue is the work units are really small, i am finishing the CPU units in less than 2 hours (some are 40 minutes) and same for GPU

other issue is the client only trys 2 servers then 2x the retry count (i pause and resume my idle clients when i get back in as 2-3 hours retry is Way to long when i restart them they get a work unit in 5 minutes), the retry delay needs to be shorter and it needs to try all servers not just the same 2 server like 5 times (as i have to restart my client about 5 times before it will even bother to use a different server that responds or gives me a work unit)

 

[borandi]

If they had every GPU ping every work server every minute, I'm sure the load on the servers would be even worse.

Besides, before all this kicked off, there were only four work unit servers and each project type was only on 1-2 at most.

 

[lane42]

Iam not sure how these server things work, but with Seti shutting down
today or tomorrow they have a lot of hardware they could lend F@H or
WCG, or am I crazy.

 

[Assimilator1]

No you're lane42

Yea I bet that they'll be a large influx of users from SETI to F@H & other DC projects.
Myself I'll be switching my CPU from SETI to Rosetta@H, seeing as F@H is already struggling to keep up with the large influx of users last week. Not to mention the CPU's contribution to F@H pales in comparison to the GPU.

 

[mopardude87]

Not sure if fixed but since like yesterday morning i have had zero issues with wu delivery on 2 computers,i did opt out of cpu clients cause i got worst ppd with both running cpu as well.

 

[creed3020]

Joined in the race about a week and half ago. I have two desktops going, only one has a GPU though. Broke past rank 1000 this weekend, so going well

@creed3020 Welcome!

I know I posted this elsewhere, but if your having difficulty getting work units the following might be helpful:

client-type: advanced might help you (works for both cpus and gpus):
https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/installation-guides/configuration-guide/#advanced-methods

it might be helpful to obtain work units early:
https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/installation-guides/configuration-guide/#next-unit-percentage
Default is to wait until 99% done, but I would suggest setting it to 90%.

Hi Everyone, New-Old Guy here. Recently bought a GTX 1660 Super and thought I'd give F@H a try with Covid-19. I was very active on the TeAm during Seti-1.Hello to Mark ( @Assimilator1 ), glad to see you are still around!

To be sure I am correct, based on a search I joined team 198 and get a Passkey. Was that correct?

That sounds right to me... happy Folding! And welcome back to the TeAm.

 

[lane42]

Nice to see you back JW

 

[Assimilator1]

Good to see ya back John , yea I'm still around, although I was only around sporadically until recently, when for some reason I suddenly had a load of spare time!
But I think I'm back in properly now.
Oh btw, RattleDagger posted in the F@H race thread recently, if you remember him?
