F@H server maintenance

Well you guys are more than welcome to put those GPUs to use for our BOINC team. We could use the help in GPU projects.

We are 3rd in this league. Although we are gaining at a steady pace. Could always use a little
extra GPU power to get it there.

Here we are a good bit behind 1st place. We're eventually gonna overtake #1 on Moo! Wrapper
at our current pace I think, so this would be the project to move GPUs to for a day or two.

This is the project we are gonna need the most help in getting 1st. I alone, with all my GPUs
rocking on this can do around 25M points per day. At that rate it will take a little over
300 days to cover the 1st place gap and we have less than 220 days to go. It'll take me, alone,
about 190 days to overcome the leagues biggest competitor BOINC @ Heidelberg.


If you already run BOINC projects then you know to just add a new project in the BOINC manager.
Then go to the projects home page and sign in with the username you created (it'll be the email
address) and click the team link and then click join team. That should be all you have to do.

If you don't have BOINC already then download the BOINC client.

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php

Non of those projects require VirtualBox so you can skip that download and get the
smaller file if you wish.
 
I'm in an extended shut down anyway so I wont be back online until after the outage, if the wife gets a job there will be upgrades, either way the rigs will be very clean

Nathan_P I like your naming scheme. I use something similar

All are famous names from the Royal navy, of which I am a huge fan. however you have just made me notice that the specs are way out of date - i'll get them updated tomorrow.

All of mine are US battleships. But they have a significant importance.

Arizona, Oklahoma, California, Maryland.
 
Ark Royal which started the final fate of the famous Bismark battleship. Damaging it's rudder forcing it into a permanent circle.
 
I used aircraft names: eagle, hornet, blackbird, ... recently less creative ...

Maybe I can use the maintenance window to switch back to a consistent scheme [/failed attempt to return ontopic]
 
I name my rigs based on how I can easily identify them physically. So when I see one is down I know where to go. Normally the naming scheme gives the location and hardware in it. lol
 
Probably not related but I've been getting failed WU downloads on my rigs for 3 days now..I'm honestly about ready to shut them all down and say fuck it.

We could need some heavy hitter in GPUGrid ; works well with nV cards and Linux (as long nothing else runs on GPU). Crunching day-in, day-out ...

But also on my current only 1080 for FAH no issue in the last three days, maybe lucky knowing that some server seems having trouble.

and another one just hung up....next time the plugs get pulled....:)
 
Some of the servers are playing up, with it being a holiday weekend I suspect that there are not many staff available to fix it until tomorrow.

Need more GPUs for GPUGrid for what exactly?

I was getting the same thing all weekend. I shut down F@H on my one machine since it couldn't get any WUs. I'll try it again when I get home from work today and see if it's still acting up.
 
I didn't try that workaround, but sometime last night my machine was able to get a WU and start crunching on it. So maybe the issue is fixed?
 
Not fixed per se, one of the servers is maxed out, the owner of the projects on that server has reduced the server weighting so you are much less likely to be assigned any of his projects whilst the issue is fixed
