Is everyone getting jobs ok today?? So far I've had two work units but one at a time rather than two together (for the two cards installed...) Now I'm just waiting for downloads again...

I guess they are still trying to catch up for the demands.....

NastyHabits · Mar 23, 2020

@phill I've been getting WU's, but at about 2/3rds the normal rate. Haven't had one since last evening.

phill · Mar 23, 2020

Mine have been hit and miss today @NastyHabits .... I've got 3 working away at the moment as I've just setup another Windows 10 PC and got that crunching with FAH and WCG... We'll see how we go

Finishing off the units now as I've just checked and even producing over 2100w from the solar panels, I've 6 PCs on, all of that power is being sucked away on GPUs and CPUs :laugh:

Wow...

roast · Mar 23, 2020

I'm only running a GTX970 and a single 8700k at the moment, but I don't seem to have any issues pulling down WUs. At least not for my GPU anyway.

Also - anyone running the VMWare appliances? I have a few dev hosts in work that I might spin up a few VMs on, if it's worth the effort.

I've been struggling to pull WUs all weekend. I should be doing nearly 2 Million PPD, but I'm not even breaking 1 Million because my cards are sitting idle half the time waiting for work. I never thought I'd see the day F@H didn't have enough work to go around, it's awesome!

Vayra86 · Mar 23, 2020

Looking at 0% over here, just joined in. Yep, no work and a message on the F@H page that they are preparing stuff for COVID 19. My PC will be going fulltime when I'm not on it.

OH hey

biffzinker · Mar 23, 2020

Nothing here, both cards are idle.

windwhirl · Mar 23, 2020

Just got one for coronavirus. I feel like that guy who snatches the last whatever-device on Black Friday lol

I'm just trying to get WU for my GPUs as I don't fold on the CPU

Doing both will make a nice big dent in that electric bill without much hard work at all... :laugh:

It's amazing how you can run these programs and not think about the cost of things until the electric bill comes around....
Not tried the VM for FAH but I used to use it with Linux whilst I was messing about with my first server I had been given from work... Now they just run Server 2012 R2 and get on with it that way.. I'm not sure if Linux would make much of a difference with the types of test we are currently doing....

I'm very happy that FAH need more work units but I'm also kinda sad that we as a team aren't pulling what I know we can

That said, with all these newer members joining loads of teams all over the place, I can see why we aren't gaining many WU's

I funnily enough don't get any of the COVID-19 messages, unless I'm going somewhere completely different to where I should be.....

I shut my folders down about 5pm today because of the sun going in, but during the day I was also getting issues with getting a WU during the day. I had the odd one or two every so often and even trying the pause and then fold buttons a bit of time apart didn't seem to help matters to be honest..

It's most definitely that sort of feeling when you finally catch and download a WU to run on the PC!!

Many thanks to everyone joining in and picking TPU as their team to support

getting CPU WUs but nothing for GPU

EDIT: After restarting F@H client with "I support research fighting: Any Disease" it appears i now get a COVID019 GPU WU.

So, they need CPU folders now, then?

hat said:

As of right now, there doesn't seem to be anything available for CPUs. For whatever reason, the description says "CPU", while the WU is a GPU-type.

hat · Mar 24, 2020

There seems to be come conflicting information there...

roast · Mar 24, 2020

There's definitely CPU WU's out there.
My CPU is currently folding 14328 which is:
"Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 main protease in complex with an inhibitor N3 (PDBID: 6lu7) "

It's not the first CPU Coronavirus WU I've gotten either.

hat · Mar 24, 2020

Well, looks like I'm running WCG out of tasks again... I just can't decide which project to run on my CPU...

Gmr_Chick · Mar 24, 2020

I'm running a COVID-19 GPU WU at the moment (the description says high priority **CPU** err...wut? lol) but my CPU is lonely

I've nothing for mine and I shut down the program every day because I don't fold or crunch 24/7, I couldn't afford the power bill :laugh:

I've always just done GPU folding @hat, I've left CPU folding to WCG

I let my F@H running 24/7 on my 2nd pc for the past couple days. However, sometimes either cpu or gpu ready but there is no project running, so i have to remove and add cpu/gpu again. Is there a way to make sure both cpu/cpu always get projects to do without doing the whole remove-add slot again every 1-2 hours?

This has been mentioned several times, in several threads that there has been an explosion of new Folders which has overwhelmed Stanford’s servers. What you’re doing is unnecessary and puts additional load on their servers. It’s frustrating for everyone, but it’s actually a good problem to have.

That's normally what I do, but I'm having trouble deciding what to do right now...

biffzinker · Mar 24, 2020

I gave up on trying to fold on the RX 560D next to the RTX 2060. It wasn't folding on both cards at the same time. It was saying about the configuration not being supported or something when it was looking for WUs in the log although it shouldn't of mattered. Both cards were getting along as far as Windows 10 was concerned.

At least my RTX 2060 is a bit ahead of the factory spec.

MSI RTX 2060 Gaming Z Specs

NVIDIA TU106, 1830 MHz, 1920 Cores, 120 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 6144 MB GDDR6, 1750 MHz, 192 bit

www.techpowerup.com

Checked on it a couple of days ago from extended folding, and the backplate was scorching hot. Bumped the fan speed for the case fans, and the cards fans when it's folding.

On March 4th, we had 16 active Folders here on TPU. Then this happened and is still happening:

Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to fight C-19!

This needs a better shout out than little ol' me can do. @W1zzard , @Ravenlord

It has definitely gone nuts in the threads when I'm posting up the days stats!!

Thank you to everyone who is contributing and who is on the forums contributing too!!

Unlike @Vayra86 I'm not getting the info that he is from the web page, just comes up with this ....

Getting no constant work units sadly.. But getting the odd few through which is better than nothing at all

Skywalker12345 · Mar 26, 2020

Yeah seems like im getting the same, im sure they are fighting to keep everything up and running with this new load of users.

windwhirl · Mar 26, 2020

Combined computing power just keeps ramping up, so don't worry if you are not getting anything to work on...
