GPU WU server down?

[MikeB12]

Do we have any Seinfeld fans? if so you'll find this funny
here's a gpu server joke for the day...

Why do so many mailman (aka gpu servers) go crazy?
Newman is the gpu server in this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgQGb...eature=related

absolutly hilarious......

ya know what id like to see, someone with some video editing software redubb over his voice about being a folding server and keep the triade going for a minute or so

[SnW]

Great now all my GPU's are waiting to send and or get a WU
just when i got my second 9800GTX

[sniperbob]

ya, mine were idle all morning. But the server is back up for me, and just in time to test my new 9600 GSO's!!!! there's only one thing i love more than watching my FPS go up, and thats watching my PPD go up! I think i can actually fold again!!!

[Sparky]

Back up for me, right now anyway. Yay no more idleness! My current accumulated points show that I haven't done much today though thanks to the server bugs

[[XC] riptide]

Back up here

[bot@xs]

WU's are rollin in again.

Which GSOs did you get? I just dropped those with DDR2 of at UPS for there trip back, the others will be here tomorrow. Let us know what PPD you get...

LMFAO!!! This is so typical of my usual posts at F@H. Thank god I'm not the only one that gets this frustrated. Gooo MichaelO!!!!

This is a wonderful turn of events.
171.64.65.106 is down and many of us have WUs that need to be returned.

At the same time, p5801 WUs are being handed out that immediately crash.

Thank you, thank you very much!

It seems that the plans were not planned very well.

Count me as another whose GPU clients are all down.

Agreed completely and those 5801 WU's are a definite problem as they error stating that your very STABLE machine is UNSTABLE. I have said this before and will say it again, if this were a corporate operation everyone involved would be fired.

[DAK1640]

Agreed...or those of us with farms, this was a killer.

[road-runner]

Someone posted over there that since Stanford was having network issues maybe they sent these out to stall everyone for 24 hours until they got the network back on its feet. The things people can come up with when they want to...

About that coat hanger wire...I actually think that the 12 gauge (average AWG) wire would have quite a bit of bandwidth. Now wet string would be a different matter.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

I was just joking about the P2s and coat hangers and anyone with just a little bit of common sense should no this. However if the results are really important and need to be done as quick as possible and returned as quick as possible one would think there would not be nearly as much problems as there are...

Budget comes into mind?

RR - to be fair, pure text is a horrible medium for communicating in a casual context . Especially with our international friends...sarcasm, irony, tounge-in-cheek humor, etc, these things can get lost easily.

I agree that it's important that PG gets this sorted out ASAP.

No one feels otherwise

I vote let the joking continue. it was fun and relieved stress for all of us in a time when the server is having issues. and kept people involved even if it was just to laugh until they fix the server traffic issue. the jokes are not meant to be taken seriously, so if you cant laugh about it, ignore it..

Yeah, you explained it well in the other thread.. this is your way of blowing of steam and staying in the project. Sorry I didn't understand that

@Marvin_The_Martian

Were only messing around buddy and in fact I do know what it takes to setup a complex network - why it was only two weeks ago when I was required to install and integrate 3 Cisco 2960 catalyst switches for a company who had £45M (~$88M) worth of transactions going through their network, a night. If I had of messed up then I would of been hung

The guys at Stanford are obviously getting funds from sponsors to run FAH. They just need a decent infrastructure or network team to help them out.

See what I said to Road-Runner, might be budget? Who do you think sponsors the Pande Group? It's all public domain, no big private backings there, and I think they don't have it to luxerious with their budget like most university run projects? I can find medical institutions like the Howard Hughes Medical Institute who do fund parts of the research, but do they have the necesarry funds?

I think they relatively got more of the knowledge needed, then the funds

Baaah. Server down again anyone?

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Riptide maybe you should add the link to the serverstatus page to the stickies? Or is that there already?

[Sparky]

Baaah. Server down again anyone?

Again??

[MikeB12]

mine are up, but they're due to cycle soon...

you can look up server status in fahmon, it opens straight to the server status page...
copy/paste the ip from your log in the lower edit find browser window, and it jumps right to the server.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

How about we ask UF to add a server info browser comparable with the project info browser? I mean, it does the same, parse through the webpage? Reason I ask, I have code for that ( had it for ages ) but I never completed anything as I never could get 'the whole picture' ready. I know he's open to suggestions and code additions, and if you guys think it will be nice to see if a server is down or up for the project you're currently crunching I'll ask him about this.

Think of it this way, in the current wu panel next to project it will say something simple like "Server ok" or "Server Down".

I've been sort of "out of the loop" lately, but just noticed that I am no longer turning in GPU units. I replaced my GPU cores and now it looks like they are churning again. Sorry for the point dropoff during the race guys.

[road-runner]

Damn not again? Mine are ok right now but will cycle shortly...

[OCX600RR]

My GPU2 client hasn't uploaded my last 4 WU's...cannot connect to server. And wtf is with the Main Folding@Home website being down about?

[sniperbob]

Which GSOs did you get? I just dropped those with DDR2 of at UPS for there trip back, the others will be here tomorrow. Let us know what PPD you get...

I am getting about 5100-5200 PPD per card (numbers from fahmon) Although i do not think i am seeing a full 10200-10400 PPD at the end of the day ( i will turn off folding occasionally to play COD4 or DIRT). I have both cards set at a core/mem/shade clock of 666/888/1800 using RivaTuner. Also boosted fan speed to 100%. Hope you like the results RR!

http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Main is up idk which one you mean?

You can use -queuinfo to check wu's in que, note the servers they need to upload to

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/serverstat.html then check them here.

Though I can tell you without looking, the servers are having a very hard time keeping up.

Meh Ninja poster

[MikeB12]

I just tried and it was up http://folding.stanford.edu/

they had some downtime on the gpu server posted this morning http://folding.typepad.com/

I just bookmark this page, all the links are at the top http://foldingforum.org/


and yeah I've got one sitting in que right now too..

[20:42:06] + Attempting to send results [October 30 20:42:06 UTC]
[20:42:07] - Couldn't send HTTP request to server
[20:42:07]   (Got status 503)

[20:42:07]   Could not transmit unit 03 to Collection server; keeping in queue.
[20:42:08] Completed 36%

the other 3 cards were successful. I guess it's still hit or miss on getting thru 100% of the time. hopefully that scheduled downtime this morning is an indcation they are trying to get that server up to par to handle all of us gpu users..
