click add (in the slots panel still)

#

again set CPU's to 15

chilly cosmos
#

ah yes i got it thanks

hushed bobcat
#

hit OK

#

pause all folding

trail night
#

There is a trick to find a WU before the current one finish.

hushed bobcat
#

restart client

trail night
#

Just found it

chilly cosmos
#

how do i restart just close in task then reopen?

hushed bobcat
#

system tray

#

right click and hit exit

#

just make sure you pause first

mighty lodge
#

so for some reason despite completing 2 WUs yesterday, my client still says the last completed WU is from 5 days ago, and it hasn't added my points from yesterday either

hushed bobcat
#

if you're talking about the web client its buggy

rich depot
#

the web client hasnt added over 1m points to my total yet.. overclock site is good though

mighty lodge
#

idk how to check progress in anything other than the web client

hushed bobcat
#

find your username on the EOC website

rich depot
hushed bobcat
#

its not perfect but its the closest you're going to get

trail night
#

If you are like me (Likes to watch your pc working) When you current job its a 95% on GPU/CPU just create another slot with 4 thread and F@H will start looking for a job for it, when your other job finish, just delete the 4 thread Slot and The WU will be moved to the regular Slot. And you don't have to wait for it to send and the Download a job. It will start working Immediately and send it at the same time. Saves time and get WAY higher PPD EZ

hushed bobcat
#

there is a config option for that Slid

trail night
#

Its not that eficient I had it on

hushed bobcat
#

you dont need to do all that rigmarole

rancid flume
#

stats for my pool haven't been updated in 3 days. is this normal?

hushed bobcat
#

on what EOC?

#

whats your team number?

rancid flume
#

250658

chilly cosmos
#

alright that bsod me yikes

hushed bobcat
#

what did?

chilly cosmos
#

splitting the cpu

hushed bobcat
#

rebooting F@H after the slot change?

#

never seen that

#

CPU must be unstable

chilly cosmos
#

yeah once i reopened it crashed\

hushed bobcat
#

is it OC'd?

chilly cosmos
#

its stock rn

hushed bobcat
#

huh

chilly cosmos
#

maybe due to the other stuff im doing rn

hushed bobcat
#

try to open it 1 more time

#

@rancid flume I dont see your team on EOC at all

chilly cosmos
#

no longer open in task hmm gotta find it again

rancid flume
#

thats weird. we had stats until like 3 days ago

trail night
#

Close anything on TM called Fah

rich depot
#

is it one of the teams that weren't making points that got removed?

hushed bobcat
#

ohh

trail night
#

And then re open

rich depot
#

theres a write up on it on the main page

hushed bobcat
#

"Small update for Sunday.03.29.20, 2:26pm CDT
Before I get too many emails asking why there are negative WUs in the "aggregate stats", there is a simply answer to that. I'm tracking the top 12,000 teams"

rancid flume
#

oh wait. our team is too small too new to be on eoc

hushed bobcat
mighty lodge
#

the EOC website still says I haven't completed any WUs in 5 days even tho I know I did 2 yesterday. I'm gonna keep folding and see if they show up eventually

rancid flume
#

I check my stats here

hushed bobcat
#

main website updates slow

rancid flume
#

ah alright

hushed bobcat
#

ask your buddies to pool money and build a server for folding

#

then get your team in the top 12,000

#

WIN

#

🙂

rancid flume
#

yeah we're pretty broke though

trail night
#

I can Join @rancid flume

#

🙂

rancid flume
#

sure feel free if you want to

trail night
#

After I get chu like 1m I will change back

rancid flume
#

you can fold for ltt though its almost # 1

trail night
#

I dont fold for LLT because they dont need the points anymore. I will always fold for a cure yes, but give the points to smol teams that need it 🙂

rancid flume
#

I see. thats really cool of yo

trail night
#

There ya go

rancid flume
#

Thanks

#

Thats a lot of total points

trail night
#

I been melting my GPU

#

lol

rancid flume
#

I think i've only done like ~80,000 so far

rich depot
#

do you have your passkey? make sure you get one to get bonus points..

hushed bobcat
#

I would fold for a day but right now im competing with a friend of mine in the LTT Team

#

also after your 10th verified WU you get a quick return bonus (QRB)

#

basically its just a boost to your PPD

#

but you also need the Passkey

rancid flume
#

guess ill wait for the key

hushed bobcat
#

make sure your username is the same for both

rich depot
#

it may take a few hours to get it.. just keep checking your email you sent it to

I've been getting CPU WU's all day today

#

this is a good thing

hushed bobcat
#

i've already broken my record for actually daily PPD

#

and we still have 6 hours to go

smoky rose

That is actually quite funny.

~20 years ago I worked in a computer store. Customer told us what spec and we built it. I remember building a "killer gaming rig" for this family with a teenage son. 6 months later the mother comes back, with the computer, furious. She starts yelling before I even get to say hello.
The computer reboots/turns off while the son is gaming.
I calmly let her know that "since it is within the first year I will look at, and if possible, have it fixed for them by tomorrow morning". She leaves. I open it up and immediately close it again. Air on can won't get the job done. I have to use the compressor. Holy crap that thing had been collecting dust.
I clean it, replace the cpu thermal paste. When I start it up I notice that the multiplier is not what it's supposed to be. Turns out the little shit had placed the machine in the dustiest basement corner AND overclocked it.

Forum posts like the one above reminds me of that. People...

stark bough
#

Whats airflow?

storm talon
#

it's a myth

#

created by fan manufacturers

stark bough
#

65 C is not hot so you need to fix your pc.

It is if you’re running a watercooling loop of a noctua at stock speeds

odd barn
#

What were they expecting with an i3

storm talon
#

max temp is like 72c

odd barn
#

Okay, and that next thing about that kid though

#

I would have been like "what the shit were you expecting the dust to do?"

storm talon
#

two words: fan filters

odd barn
#

lol, yup

#

I'm actually really happy because I've been getting WU's all day today for my CPU

storm talon
#

nice

#

i'm just letting mine cook at the office

odd barn
#

that's awesome

#

I got permission from the client at one of my sites to run F@H on their Quadro P6000 / Xeon Plat. 8180

storm talon
#

sick

odd barn
#

Can't wait to get that set up eventually

trail night
#

GPU Temps never go over 60c

storm talon
#

i mean we haev all our client sites on anydesk

#

i really doubt my boss would go for that though lol

odd barn
#

It's funny to me because the client came up to me and asked if it were possible

#

I was like "wait... you know what that is?!"

storm talon
#

that's a MONSTER

odd barn
#

I should mention

storm talon
#

all.the.folds.

odd barn
#

He's got about 4 of those rigs in rackmounts

storm talon
#

does amount of ram make a difference

#

i got all mine set at 2g

odd barn
#

I honestly don't feel much of a difference

#

I know for sure a SSD makes more of a difference over a hard drive, but as for ram, not sure

storm talon
#

most of mine are on emc sasflash or ssdflash

odd barn
#

VM's right?

storm talon
#

ya

#

10g/sec backbone fibrechannel scsi

odd barn
#

You should be pefrectly fine. How many cores allocated per VM?

storm talon
#

4 per

odd barn
#

yeah, you're golden

storm talon
#

yea i'm averaging 100-120 wu's a day

odd barn
#

Doesn't look like it allocates much to RAM when running the calculations

storm talon
#

my free -h shows only like 570mb allocated

odd barn
#

If you have nothing else running in the background I'd say you're good

#

If you want to err on the side of caution you can add 512, but I think you're fine

smoky rose
#

I GOT A WU! Finally.

storm talon
#

there's actually a full prod environment running on all sites, but on a evc cluster. i'm running on seperate hardware

#

nice jo!

odd barn
#

yay

#

How long does it usually take for the credits to update?

smoky rose
#

Pre SARS-CoV-2 research: Not long
Now: Don't hold your breath

storm talon
#

usually every hour

kind wyvern
#

Am I missing it or is there no way to fold specifically for Covid-19?

storm talon
#

Any Disease = COVID

kind wyvern
#

I thought so, thank you

odd barn
#

They were smart about allocation of resources by making it "any disease" tbh

solid thunder
#

linus pls OMEGALUL https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats

this entire thing about getting a whole bunch of LTT folders and new ones is about pooling our processing power, mainly GPUs and the LTT server isn't assigning GPU jobs

odd barn
#

That way when all the covid WU's are taken up, we can at least fold for something else in the mean time

#

Anyone know what the GRO_A7 is?

solid thunder
#

gro_a7 i believe are CPU jobs

#

and openmm_22 are GPU jobs

#

probably 21 too but idk about those, those i think are experimentals

#

at least that's my understanding of it

smoky rose
#

21 is the previous GPU core. 22 is the current.

storm talon
#

wrong link

solid thunder
#

ah

odd barn
#

So switching to linux would help them out more?

storm talon
#

posix threads vs windows threads

#

I'm getting really good performance on debian

odd barn
#

That's interesting to know

storm talon
#

yea I run em headless, just fahclient without the other two

#

control em all remotely

gusty path
#

I should try to set up the the remote access to other clients

#

just haven't sit down to read it yet, but would be nice to reset the pc sitting at work remotely

trail night
#

@rancid flume

#

Can i get the team code again?

gusty path
#

223518

trail night
#

That is not

gusty path
#

That is not what?

trail night
#

The code Im looking for

#

lool

gusty path
#

Oh, it is not LTT you are after?

trail night
#

no

gusty path
#

LTT is all the team you need

silver wing
#

@trail night 250658, but 223518 is the better team 🙂

trail night
#

Thanks

#

There is no better teams, just one bigger than other. but we all contributing for the same reason.

barren quest
#

is the number 1 team effectively paying people to fold?

silver wing
#

Yes

#

But for most it won't pay for the power used to fold so it's pointless to fold for them

trail night
#

ltt already #1?

silver wing
#

no, curecoin is

#

we're 1st for current production

barren quest
#

well, if you're folding anyway, something is ebtter than nothing. That said, I feel like folding is more of a charity thing in spirit, so carry on with team LTT.

silver wing
#

EVGA is better to fold for if you want money, you need to manually claim each month to get the store credit but it is actually worth it if you remember to claim every month

#

then you can pay down a new GPU and fold for LTT during events

barren quest
#

Interesting. Might explore that post covid situation

timber grove
#

wait what you can get store credit for folding for evga

trail night
#

Dont reveal my secret

#

OMG

silver wing
#

Yes but read the terms carefully if you want to go down that path, it's either $5/m or $10/m depending if you meet the minimums and remember to claim

trail night
#

30Millions a month

#

= 5 evga Dollars

silver wing
#

30 is $120

trail night
silver wing
#

max for the year

trail night
#

Yeah

silver wing
#

10m is $60

#

so fi you're not 24/7 folding it's really hard to hit

#

either of them

vast shell
#

is there a way on boinc to finish current wu

#

then stop

silver wing
#

from memory yes

#

how to, don't remember

weary epoch
#

in fahcontrol, right click the slot and hit finish

rotund flume
#

in fahcontrol, right click the slot and hit finish
@weary epoch hes asking in boinc, not fah

weary epoch
#

ah oops

rotund flume
#

😄

rich depot
#

@vast shell "no new tasks" or similar, when in project view

hushed bobcat
#

so for max EVGA bucks you need to fold about 1 mil per day corrrect?

tight urchin
#

yeah

barren quest
#

struggling to get 1 mil/week with the lack of WUs, despite having potential for 2 mil/day in theory

#

(granted I don't run 24/7 anyway so even with WU's I wouldnt get that in practice.)

median vine
#

how much are y'all getting per day?

#

my shitty laptop is getting 17683

dull glacier
#

desktop says PPD is ~850k but really it's probably closer to like 300k because of lack of WU

median vine
#

oof

#

but still much better than me

timber grove
#

my points for today is 830,482

median vine
#

oh damn

#

mine's just above 4000

#

that's with a 8gb ram 4 core 8th gen i5

timber grove
#

my 24hr avg is 746,914

median vine
#

laptop

dull glacier
#

I got lucky today with WU so I'm ~500k, running only on my 1080

median vine
#

nice

timber grove
#

my computer has truble getting WUs at night but during the day its loaded up

median vine
#

ah

hushed bobcat
#

@median vine you want my Actual or Estimated PPD?

median vine
#

eh it's fine

hushed bobcat
#

ok

stark bough
#

did the math. i think it would have took me 10-14 days of folding nonstop for EVGA to get $10.
and then you got to redeem it every month by logging in or its forfeit

#

if i had more folding capability it would onky take 5-6 with better hardware. still its on the folder to redeem it for store exclusive stuff.
its useful if you are a regular @ EVGA

#

i think you can use evgabucks to purchase an extended waranty on an evga card you just bought though. dont quote me on that.

#

folding for a year to get an extra 5 year warranty.

supple laurel
#

the way i read the member club was that the evga bucks are good as cash when you check out? i could be wrong

silver wing
#

@stark bough The other thing is EVGABucks have to be supported in your region, it is not for me

proud zealot
#

Main rig has been folding every night for about a week now. Tomorrow I am going to get some of my old computer hooked up and updated and installing Folding@rancid agate to get more points a month.

silver wing
#

@unique sigil When is the LTT FAH server video going up, dying of anticipation

supple laurel
#

thought linus said it was monday for floatplane and maybe a few days after for main channel or they might do it at the same time

timber grove
#

looks like the LTT folding server is down

alpine tinsel
#

is it normal that folding only takes ~40% of GPU power?

silver wing
#

I thought he said this weekend, but depends on getting that last bit of footage

supple laurel
#

yes. programs misreport it. if you go to cuda, it will show 100%

alpine tinsel
#

ah, okay

#

thanks

unique sigil
#

hey waddup @rich depot

#

oh tmr on FP @silver wing

rich depot
#

Nice!

unique sigil
#

its not down just out of jobs atm

rich depot
#

ahh

unique sigil
#

Level 2 cache finally almost full

#

😄

#

already 500GB of data stored on the server oof

supple laurel
#

you need to tell them that they need more work for higher core count CPUs. when set at 16 threads i got almost no work split it down to 3 sets of 4 and a 2 and non stop WUs

silver wing
#

They need to fix it for 96 cores first, that actually breaks it

#

#AllAboutMyProblems

rich depot
#

@unique sigil good job Jake!

supple laurel
#

lead do you know if it's normal that if set for 4 threads it loads up all 16 at 25%. instead of 4 at 100%?

silver wing
#

I'd be interested in the typical I/O block size, IOPs, sustained bandwidth, CPU load and memory but I expect like 2 or 3 of those in the video

#

No it should load 4 at 100%

supple laurel
#

it's not

rich depot
#

Have you set it at light workload? Or full?

supple laurel
#

full

unique sigil
#

now that its been running for a bit sustained inbound is like 20-30megabit

rich depot
#

Thats not much

silver wing
#

that'll be 100% the WU shortage

unique sigil
#

outbound peaks every once in a while, seems like set interval lol

rich depot
#

Seeing as you have a 5gbit pipe to that server right?

silver wing
#

no jobs, no bandwidth usage

unique sigil
#

ya

#

The NVMe cache is putting in work

#

average utilization is like 30-60%

#

actual HDD usage is below 0.3% on each

rich depot
#

On each? How many servers did you put up?

unique sigil
#

each HDD drive

rich depot
#

Oh

silver wing
#

That usage percentage is capacity used in the cache correct? Not like performance utilization?

unique sigil
#

The NVMe cache is putting in work
average utilization is like 30-60%

#

that?

#

read/write utilization, not capacity

#

theres current usage of ARC + L2ARC cache

silver wing
#

hmm, higher than I was expecting

unique sigil
#

not sure how familiar you are with ZFS

#

but basically L2ARC works by taking anything that is being removed from ARC (level 1 sys memory cache), and rather than putting it back on the base disks, it throws it on the L2ARC cache.

rich depot
#

no gpu task available for me, for the last 11 tries. bad ltt server 😦 ( just kidding)

silver wing
#

Enough, more just I expected better from NVMe honestly

unique sigil
#

whatcha mean?

#

that utilization?

supple laurel
#

LTT server has not even had a GPU job to hand out yet

unique sigil
#

I mean its reading from system memory which is real quick

#

So it actually seems pretty reasonable to me

#

optane 905P so not that craziest throughput but really gnarly IOPS

silver wing
#

yea, well I mean the total throughput is kinda slow but then I don't know the IOPs so I'm 100% just speculating on like not enough info

supple laurel
unique sigil
#

network throughput?

supple laurel
#

i should have 6 thread open/ideal jobs.

unique sigil
#

From what I understand they just need to add more jobs to it

silver wing
#

Yea, but is the server also doing other processing to create/process WUs which cause storage I/O?

unique sigil
#
  • there is a default cap on network connections
#

they're gonna bump the network connection cap tmr

#

I'm not sure actually

#

😛

rich depot
#

how much are you actually doing for the setup btw Jake? do you configure it? or just let them remote into the server and make sure its online?

silver wing
#

Probably hardware build, rack, network connectivity, OS install, SSH access setup

rich depot
#

also, awesome that you are just randomly in the chat answering questions/talking about this stuff! very nice that you actually do that stuff

@rich depot Particularly my super nosy IT questions 🙂

rich depot

I don't think they are nosy, we are all pretty interested in IT so it makes sense to wonder about this stuff

Yep, but I always want to know the detailed stuff that is never in the videos

new channel that just randomly walks around the warehouse to see what people are doing

silver wing
#

It's the one for folding at home

rich depot
#

yeah, thats the downside of making video's for 10mil people, you can't go hardcore nitty gritty into the technical stuff. But that would be an awesome new channel, like real hardcore IT stuff.

is there a way to translate the timeline on EO from what looks like east coast time to other timezones?

fierce steppe
#

Yes, the same way you would convert time zones normally

solid thunder
fierce steppe
#

EOC is Central Daylight Time (CDT)

#

UTC -5

rich depot
#

I don't fully trust eoc though

#

If you look at ltt there have been several times it was 0 points for that update, but also the one later wasn't double or something

silver wing
#

That isn't EOC that's the FAH export not updating so the data file is the same

#

No update to data file no increase in points so 0 point update on EOC

#

When you download the data file from FAH the first line is the date/time when the export was created

#

Am I correct that Amazon's EC2 Spot instances are making use of idle time on their servers?

#

With EC2Spot becoming a threat to the LTT team
Could we just buy up some time on the servers and have it fold for the LTT team, and then that would also stop the EC2Spot from having idle time to run? 🤔

#

damn, aws is doing great with folding

queen aurora
#

yeah it's insane

#

is there any official word from AWS ?

rich depot
#

I googled but google didn't know aynthing

queen aurora
#

yeah i've pinged them on twitter but no response yet.

pseudo abyss
#

I have gotten 250k points today, twice that of I have usually doe the last week

#

But still not close to what my computer is capable of

silver wing
#

AWS has to 10x what they're doing to be any kind of threat as we're still significantly out producing them and they have to not just out produce us but by a lot to catch any time soon, and they will lose interest

#

But I think they will crack the top 10

rich depot
#

true, but they are rising fast

pseudo abyss
#

Is that jump in daily points LTT server going online?

silver wing
#

Nope, it's not really doing much, it's only 1 server out of 21

supple laurel
#

and from what jake was saying last night. it's not really up and fully running yet. it was kind of in test mode over the weekend.

silver wing
#

I'm sure if they open the flood gate on it it'll run up the WU/hr it's doing by a lot

pseudo abyss
#

More servers is definitely still needed

rich depot
#

the ltt server is semi up, nvve was up to 60% usage I believe. lots of iops

fierce steppe
#

checks LTT server status
Assign mode 34 work units
refreshes page
Accept mode 0 work units

rich depot
#

?

#

where do you check that spotty?

queen aurora
rich depot
#

yeah but here it says its assigning 8k wu's an hour

fierce steppe
#

that's how averages work

rich depot
#

so where are you looking spotty?

fierce steppe
#

You can assign 200,000 work units in one hour and then nothing for the rest of the day and that would be an 8k/hour average

rich depot
#

ah okay, I just look at the first number

#

didn't know the last 2 were the actual that are now out by that server

#

I've looked but I still can't find a write-up on how to read that page 😦 lots of people have speculated when I asked, but no real answer yet

silver wing
#

Jobs columns is the number of jobs the server has to give out right then, if it's zero then it's got none left to give

fierce steppe
#

^

rich depot
#

ah okay ty

#

I hope they have let it run out so they could change a few things and make it a more effective server

fierce steppe
#

Assign = it has work units to distribute and is handing them out to people. It will also collect any of the work units it distributed that have been completed
Accept = it doesn't have any work units to distribute but the server is still online and collecting the completed work units it sent out
Down = offline, can't be reached

rich depot
#

thanks

#

and has cs? and is there a difference between public and beta jobs? cause I see a shitload of beta stuff

fierce steppe
#

Change what to make it more effective?
As far as I can tell it's able to distribute all of its work units very quickly...

#

CS = Collection Server

rich depot
#

maybe have it produce more wu's, or distribute them even faster

hushed bobcat
#

CS = Collection Server
@fierce steppe
Called It!

fierce steppe
#

Called what? If you hover over it it says "no collection server"

silver wing
#

The top two servers send WUs to the WS servers btw

hushed bobcat
#

i speculated on what everything on the server stats page means a couple days ago

rich depot
#

ah ty @silver wing

fierce steppe
#

Each project is assigned a work unit that will distribute it

#

Since the LTT server is new they have to wait until they create new projects to assign to the server

#

they can't put existing work units from other servers on to the LTT one

rich depot
#

makes sense

fierce steppe
silver wing
#

not to me it doesn't but what do I know 🙂

fierce steppe
#

16404, 16406, 16408, and 16410 are the ones currently assigned to the LTT server

silver wing
#

seems like a bad scaling limitation but scaling wasn't required before lol

fierce steppe
#

yeah it wasn't really an issue until a few weeks ago

rich depot
#

LTT should do a technical video on how this all works and how they kept up with demand after this is all done and working stable

fierce steppe
#

So each project is coded with a work server and most will have a backup "Collection Server" if the work server is unavailable

#

When a work unit is completed and gets uploaded, if it can't connect to the work server it goes to the collection server.
The collection server doesn't have the information on when the work unit was sent out from the work server, so it can't calculate the QRB so it'll only show the base credit in the logs as the estimate and it won't credit any points until it they get uploaded to the work server.

The collection server does track when it was uploaded to it, so it will give that information to the work server and the work server calculates the QRB from that, so you still get the QRB

hushed bobcat
#

that would explain the delay on WU credit in some cases

fierce steppe
#

and that is also why some people were having work units that couldn't be uploaded for days at a time when the work server & collection server the projects had assigned were down

silver wing
#

9.6.1 I think has a fix for the QRB so you get it always

fierce steppe
#

do you have a source for that?
I've had several work units fail to credit today for going to the collection server
Haven't checked to see if they were uploaded to a CS running 9.6.1 though

silver wing
#

That was a change they were making and 9.6.1 is a release after that, but no guarantee it's actually in that update

rich depot
#

they are pushing out new software versions very fast though there are 4 different versions running atm

fierce steppe
#

Yeah it was like 9.5.2 or something a month ago

rich depot
#

yeah, there are now servers with 9.5.2 - 9.5.8 - 9.6 - 9.6.1

#

oh also a 9.5.6 so 5 different versions

silver wing
#

a post on the FAH forum by the dev

#

it was linked in the LTT topic, some pages ago

fierce steppe
#

reading the folding forum makes you appreciate how clean the LTT forum looks

rich depot
#

I don't visit the ltt forum

fierce steppe
#

I tracked this down. Sadly WUs returned to a Collection Server (CS) are not getting credited immediately. This is likely been going on for a long time. Normally, WUs would get forwarded to the WS fairly quickly and get credited quickly. Since we are under such huge loads the CS have backlogged and many accepted WUs are sitting there uncredited. All these WUs will get credited eventually. Bonuses are calculated from the time the WU was returned to the CS so bonuses should not be affected. I'm pushing a software update which will cause the CS to credit WUs immediately in the future. Thanks for providing all the info to diagnose this.

#

The last one I did a few hours ago that failed to credit was to a server running 9.6
I'll have to keep an eye out to see if it's fixed on servers running 9.6.1

silver wing
#

Damn it, I only just found that post and was just about to link it lol

fierce steppe
#

Checking my logs I did have one go to a collection server that was 9.6.1 and that was credited normally, so perhaps 9.6.1 did fix it

#

If they can get that fixed and back credit the missing WUs it'll give a huge boost to our daily points
Roughly half my WU's have failed to credit because of that

silver wing
#

Yea 9.6.1 started popping up shortly after that so I used my powers of assumption 🙂

#

Missing QRB has been a problem though, I'm sure of it

fierce steppe
#

That's yours?

silver wing
#

yea

#

I want my points back damn it

queen aurora
#

atleast your getting some im only getting WU's every other 3hrs 😛

fierce steppe
#

If they go to the collection server it will show the base credit without QRB in the logs, but you won't get credited for the work unit at all as far as F@H is concerned - at least not until they sync up the collection server to the work server and import the jobs over

#

it won't show as completing a WU in your stats

#

But
Since you're doing mostly CPU jobs
It's possible that you just got a bunch of jobs that were really short and had a low credit

#

CPU jobs vary from 140 base credit to 5,500 base credit depending on their size

silver wing
#

I should be around 4.5m-5m PPD so each update of mine should be 600k +/- 50K

fierce steppe
#

you probably are missing WUs that aren't being credited

#

But it shouldn't credit you just the base credit without QRB

silver wing
#

Dunno, most of my systems are unmonitored and CPU only

#

but I know for sure QRB is a problem again

fierce steppe
#

Yeah I'm expecting to get like 5 million points one update when they sync it up

silver wing
#

rookie numbers 🙂

fierce steppe
#

shhh it's only been happening last 3 days :p

#

well at least that I've been keeping track of

silver wing
#

randomly get 100m one day in to a folding event with no explanation lol

fierce steppe
#

Oh by the way I told everyone you were racing TVwzhere to 500m

#

loser has to mod the discord 👀

silver wing
#

starts up 20 more servers

fierce steppe
#

If only F@H would do that

#

They're actually coping relatively well considering they went from 30k users to 700k users in < a month

queen aurora
#

looking at P3 instances

silver wing
#

honestly I think the WU rate is at what is needed now, just need to get the stability back up

queen aurora
#

oh welp the spot price...wow

silver wing
#

100k WU/hr and EOC has 100k WUs been done every 3 hours

fierce steppe
#

Something I don't understand with the F@H stats reporting for work units distributed

#

46k GPU work units
40k CPU work units
total = 109k

confused math lady

silver wing
#

rounding, has to be rounding

fierce steppe
#

Ah they must be using the Sans rounding formula

silver wing
#

you got it

fierce steppe
#

they do say the assign rate is estimated

silver wing
#

goes down 18000, shows 9000

fierce steppe
#

but I would think the total would just be CPU + GPU = Total

#

They must be calculating the total rate off something else

silver wing
#

not off those 3 columns that's for sure

#

cells, columns same diff

fierce steppe
#

It'll be interesting to see the EOC graphs update at the end of the month

silver wing
#

yep

#

imagine if we did that 17b over 4 weeks

fierce steppe
#

Our previous best month was last years folding event at 15.5B points
We've already done 29B points. We'll easily double it

silver wing
#

68b

fierce steppe
#

If we hit 100B for the month of April Twitter will add an edit button

#

CEO of twitter told me himself 👀

silver wing
#

so never

#

mind you a lot of the folders are not part of the folding event so maybe they won't stop

#

event only covers 8000 of the 60000

#

🤔

fierce steppe
#

I think there's about 2500 in the event who haven't submitted a WU yet

hushed bobcat
#

I was wondering about that

#

why would you sign up but not fold at all?

fierce steppe
#

If they haven't submitted a work unit at all they won't be counted as a user

#

Some people either signed up before the event and got frustrated that it wasn't working and quit, or they forgot to turn it on, or they couldn't get it to work

#

then there's always people who just sign up thinking they will get free prizes

#

Or maybe they are just using a Pentium 4 processor and it takes a week to complete a work unit

#

They're trying their best, dammit!

Yep!

Are you guys digging through the lower layers in your closets hunting for folding hardware? o.0

silver wing
#

maybe

#

Think it was something like this but this one doesn't look as thick

@pseudo abyss I want one of those or a similar Noctua

1 Point Per Year maybe

Nopes, deadlines will kick in before that.

silver wing

lol

#

would have to be zero then

#

@fierce steppe The total assign rate is the sum of the two AS servers

rancid flume
#

realistically probably ~200-300 points per day

linus1 has been sitting with 0 WU for a while. Now it's up to 2. 🙂

lots of people folding recently

@fierce steppe The total assign rate is the sum of the two AS servers
@silver wing Ah... Still doesn't explain the discrepancy between the project assign rates and the server assign rates

Hey guys just had a question, I've been folding non stop for about two weeks, and like 3-4 days ago my stats page stopped updating, the web interface registers 1.72m points, but the stat page has been stuck at 1.07m points for those 3-4 days, any idea?

#

Lolz I read the title to this discord section wrong xD my bad

smoky rose
#

The FAH servers are "busy" doing other things. Stats will be updated eventually.

near gazelle
#

So, how long does it take for the official website to update your score? It's been sitting at this number for 3 days now. My web control panel is accurate, I'm guessing...

THE pioneer of distributed computing and boinc, SETI@home the inventor of grid computing is going to hibernation and shutting down its work distribution tomorrow on 31st 😉 maybe its worth mention somewhere

smoky rose

It tracks the top 12000 teams.

near gazelle

Thanks

#

How can they pull this data, but the official site can't do it properly? Lol

Right now I'm just sad I missed the conversations about the vintage laptops 😉 I could have uploaded pictures of a few of mine lol

solid thunder
#

i closed my FAH process like a moron and had to start my 7-hour WU from the beginning

near gazelle
#

My oldest one is from 1987 - Zenith ZFL-181 - there's a video about it on my channel, the pop-up floppy drives are so much fun lol.

smoky rose
#

@near gazelle The data is available for download by anyone. The official status database can't handle the load.

near gazelle
#

I did get a response from the F@H team RE: spinning up new WU servers. They require 40TB of storage, and at least a 1gbps connection.

Looked into dedicated hosting, probably around $250-300/mo with a bandwidth cap. Couldn't find any servers that were unlimited bandwidth that had that kind of storage on a gigabit connection.

rich depot
#

I can get 1gbps in my home..

smoky rose
solid thunder
#

what practical purpose is there to a bandwidth cap

#

i never understood that practice

storm talon
#

I refuse to go with an ISP that limits my ability to use the service

rich depot
#

even datacentres have a limited connection. so if you have a bandwith cap, you probably won't use your full gbit 24/7. leaving room for other people

storm talon
#

True, if you share a data center

#

if you own them, you can do as you see fit

rich depot
#

well, yestergear was looking at shared hosting so thats that

storm talon
#

I would be wary about folding/mining on shared hosts. Some prevent it in their AuP

mystic hollow
#

i dropped the CPU slots, the 1060 limited to 60W is quiet and still does some work...

rich depot
#

also, most home connections are overbooked, so they sell you a max speed, which you probably won't get at the peak hours. so setting a bandwith cap reduces that too. although that practice is extremely bad and stupid

mystic hollow
#

@rich depot i am lucky, my ISP is not overbooked, nor data capped 😛

near gazelle
#

I know of datacenters with unlimited bandwidth, but they don't offer 40 terabyte arrays lol

rich depot
#

fortunately here they have seperate fiberlines to each home here 🙂

smoky rose
#

Just move to a developed country and you will not see that practice. 🙂

mystic hollow
storm talon
#

or you get some shady isp who offers you "gigabit ftth" and then only guarantees gigabit speed TO THEIR own router

rich depot
#

like canada @smoky rose ?

mystic hollow
#

good enough for folding 😛

smoky rose
#

Northern Europe.

near gazelle
#

While I'm sure they'd limit F@H number-crunching, I don't think they'd have an issue with file / workunit serving

rich depot
#

I know its decent there (I'm in the netherlands) but canada still sucks appareantly on that front

storm talon
#

I'm in Canada.

#

the only legit isp here is Teksavvy

rich depot
#

can you get a connection that is bandwith capped?

near gazelle
#

I live in the middle of nowhere in the USA, best I can get is a 100mbps down / 20mbps up connection.

storm talon
#

Yea you can get connections with caps, but I have unlimited

rich depot
#

cause I literally can't get a bandwith capped connection at my home. On my phone yeah (although there are unlimited plans) but on my home fiber connection, nope

#

nice

storm talon
#

300/20

rich depot
#

I don't know how much I use. I do know that when the archive team was trying to archive google+ I used up my 500 mbit/s for like a week straight, before google got annoying.

storm talon
#

i have my QoS capped at 80% of my total speed

#

that drops my bufferbloat to almost nil

rich depot
#

I believe I'm back to 100/100 right now though, I don't really need more usually, but I can upscale to 1gbit/s within 24 hours I believe, and downscale after 30 days to prevent paying to much

storm talon
#

as long as you have a prosumer router not some shitty walmart brand

rich depot
#

I use the router the internet company provided and it seems to work great 🙂 I believe I can run a custom router but no need

storm talon
#

hmm

#

I usually leave those in the box

#

You can get an ER-X for like 50USD they perform like no one's business

devout wing
#

is there something wrong with the folding at home laeaderboards? my points havent updated in days

rich depot
#

yeah, but why would I spend 50 usd on something I don't need?

devout wing
#

despite the webpages almost quadrupaling

rich depot
#

@devout wing yes, they can't keep up

storm talon
#

you wouldn't lol

rich depot
devout wing
#

ok, so as long as I see them on my web dashboard im getting them?

near gazelle
#

I use a Tenda AC router. Had it for about a year and a a half now. For less than $50, I was insanely surprised at the throughput.

rich depot
#

yes

devout wing
#

ok, good

#

thanks!

rich depot
#

there can be a delay on getting points, but in the end you will get them all 🙂

storm talon
#

I seperate my wifi and router. i got one of those ubiqiti ufo dealies

#

AP-LR... I can get wifi for like half a kilometre

mystic hollow
#

next target is Team Default 😛

rich depot
#

yeah, your neighbours must be really happy with that 😂 there is like a few hundred homes within half a km from me

storm talon
#

no one around me is on 5ghz for some reason

mystic hollow
rich depot
#

you do half a km on 5ghz?

storm talon
#

yea

near gazelle
rich depot
#

@mystic hollow We'll overtake evga first

#

thats pretty impressive @storm talon

mystic hollow
#

@rich depot overtake who ?

#

oh you mean folding@evga

storm talon
#

It gets spotty out around the edges and without a really good line of sight, but I can go to the bus stop about 300m away and still have signal

rich depot
#

yeah @mystic hollow

near gazelle
#

What I find really neat is that in just 3 months, we are almost passing the entire WU load from the entire 2019

📎 unknown.png
rich depot
storm talon
#

we can beat that easily

smoky rose
#

If the FAH servers start handing out WU without delays and we keep folding and growing we will overtake them all.

storm talon
#

i'm going to the office today to spin up another esxi host

near gazelle
#

Yeah, just waiting on more workunit servers lol

rich depot
#

yeah, the more wu's, the faster we overtake them

worldly hazel
#

hullo where are all the WUs

rich depot
#

although I really hope the covid crisis is gone before we overtake curecoin

near gazelle
#

If a few more colleges could spin up some WU servers, this shiz would get crazy quick.

rich depot
#

@storm talon how many servers are you running lol

near gazelle
#

Hah, the competition only requires 500k? I thought it was 5 million when I looked the first time lol..

I was worried I wouldn't get there, but already tripled it.

storm talon
#

3 datacenters with 2 clusters of r810's in each

#

I can only use our main office for folding though

rich depot
#

and how many is that?
