  1. Not what I mean't. I mean I apparently created my passkey using my IRL name. IRL name does not match my folding username.
  2. Question. The e-mail F@H sends you when you register for a passkey...is that supposed to show your your folding name as the username or your real name? Cause double-checking the e-mail they sent me it says my username is my real name...could that be...part of the problem?
  3. One server is running native Linux/no VM for almost 7 strait days. (CPU + GPU) Second server has a LXC container that's been online for almost 7 strait days. (CPU) Second server but in a VM running Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC (GPU) almost 3 days. No changes to configs during this time. IDK if the passkey is supposed to stay private so: Native Linux server: <!-- User Information --> <passkey v='********************************'/> <team v='223518'/> <user v='Windows7ge'/> LXC Container: <!-- User Information --> <passkey v='********************************'/> <team v='223518'/> <user v='Windows7ge'/> Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC VM: IDK what's going on here. I'm not used to folding. BOINC wasn't even this complicated to get working right IMO...
  4. I don't have a kept record but as best as I'm aware I watch one job finish according to the log and within a minute or so it has the next job downloaded and starts crunching again. So I don't think that's the problem. Over-estimating by ~300% sounds either horribly inaccurate on the software's part or something else is the problem here. Well for starters nvidia-smi immediately says we're not ticking half those boxes even with CPU disabled: +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 535.104.06 Driver Version: 535.104.06 CUDA Version: N/A | |-----------------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M | Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr. ECC | | Fan Temp Perf Pwr:Usage/Cap | Memory-Usage | GPU-Util Compute M. | | | | MIG M. | |=========================================+======================+======================| | 0 Tesla P4 On | 00000000:22:00.0 Off | 0 | | N/A 63C P0 50W / 75W | 7519MiB / 7680MiB | 85% Default | | | | N/A | +-----------------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ I'll have to get back to you on clock speeds... That's for finishing the work early yeah? I guess it's an indication that the work is getting completed a lot slower than it should?
  5. I'm still very confused by these daily stats. The peak is 1mill. With two Tesla P4's and 112 threads the math says I should be around 2.6M PPD, F@H control at least says I should be around 1.85M PPD every day but for the past week why am I averaging barely over 500k? @Gorgon said something about it straitens itself out after a few days but that's not the trend I'm seeing...

    NAS Upgrade is almost complete... Still have to…

    I'm more of a PROXMOX person myself but my network storage VM is FreeBSD13 with a lot of PCI_e devices passed through to it.

    Yeah kinda the whole point of using TrueNAS is a more user friendly experience. Or you could just go hardcore FreeBSD which is basically TrueNAS's parent and still have the same ZFS2.0 features but everything is CLI.

    Thinking of turning my computer into a server (…

    Think of it in a pretty strait-forward fashion. Find a means to measure what the power draw is in Watts and multiply that by your electric company's $/kWh. It will rough estimate what you're paying to keep it going 24/7. In my experience with a desktop PC and a couple HDD's you'd probably be looking at...eh, 120W average. Could be a little lower, could be a little higher. So punch that into our equation kWh = (watts × hrs) ÷ 1,000 and a server drawing 120W 24/7 for a month would consume about 86.4kWh. Let's say you're paying $0.15/kWh ignoring delivery fees and losses and you're looking at a minimum of $12.96/month to run that server. Just don't be like me and consume about 900W 24/7.

    If you tried it from CLI should be as "simple" as: zpool add PoolName raidz2 sda sdb sdc sdd sde sdf sdg sdh This would create a RAID6 vdev using the disks sda -> sdh and append it to the existing pool PoolName. If the WebUI interface is trying to force you to do some weird 2x4 model this would override that immediately. And if this spat out an error you just add the -f (--force) argument and then it really will do it with complete disregard for any reason not to. Though from personal experience I recommend against using the friendly sd* names. If a disk becomes disconnected and reconnects sometimes the sd* name is re-assigned given a different sd* and that fucks ZFS cause it think the disk has been lost. Instead use the WWN (World Wide Name) which is a unique identifier system-wide that never changes. Then anything can happen to the disks connecting/disconnecting ZFS will find the disk that reconnects and re-add it to the pool without fuss.

    Vdevs? So ZFS? Last I checked ZFS does not support adding single disks to existing vdevs. The way in which you expand an existing pool is by appending vdevs to the original but as you know each vdev needs it's own redundancy so you lose a disk or two with each addition. ZFS is not a friendly File System to budget DIYers. You really want to start with all the storage you plan to need. Make that pool and only if you're stacking jbods add groups of disks from there.

    The only drivers I downloaded for that card were the very specific VMWare ESXi 6.5.0 vGPU host & guest drivers. Never tried the bare metal drivers. You're in uncharted territory.

    You probably know the GRID K2 is based on the GTX 600 series. This was the first generation to support NVENC and consequently vGPU without the need for a licensing server. I just read that the quadro 2000 is even older so you might have quite the mixed bag of compatible drivers.
  13. Hopefully. I think so, this is my identity on every client:
  14. The stats page has me confused. I should be averaging 2M+ but in the last 24hrs it says I barely cracked 500K...what gives?
  15. Even as fall slowly sets in and the weather gets colder. The house needs heating and folding being a good excuse. My landlord is still immediately on my butt about what I'm doing with them, what it's going to cost - ignoring that I offered him additional compensation for the month and we haven't even started yet.
  16. Got the second GPU folding on a second server native, Linux driver dependencies can kiss my a**. I aught to be able to at least touch 2M PPD. Consequently I also increased my power consumption by 700W almost maxing out my circuit breaker with the other servers I've not added to the cluster. November is going to be an expensive month.

    No idea. Forgot their name.
  18. Speaking of EYPC SKU's. ROME is in the rhelm of affordable on the second hand market. Watch out, dual socket 128 core 256 thread server coming sometime soon-ish.
  19. I'd like to bet I'm the only person here with an EPYC 7551P + Tesla P4 combo.
  20. Rebuilt the Linux VM from scratch *phht* I wish this was the accurate PPD. We'll see what it settles down to if it settles at all. Hopefully ~900K. 2nd Tesla P4 has arrived. Will try it on a separate server with the same os/version but bare metal if the drivers will play friendly. @leadeater Is a license required if I run it bare metal?
  21. Oh, what could this be? Someone sent me a little something?

    A second Tesla P4 and a screaming spinny 12W 40mm boi.

     

    And it all fits together so nicely.

    Good fitment between the shroud and the GPU, fitment between the shroud and the fan...little lose. A single strip of electrical tape might tighten that up just right.

     

    I'm excited to see what temps I get with a 12W fan over my 2W fan. :old-grin:

     

    I hope whoever sent me this has their trade items arrive in good condition!

    Three days left to sign up for the folding even…

    Oh! I couldn't figure out why I got notified that the thread said it was my content. You embedded my post specifically. Not sure if I'm a good example of what others should be doing or if I'm just the guy who doesn't know what he's doing.
  23. I plan to test a vGPU vs bare metal side by side and see what the differences look like. It could be an issue with Linux specifically being inside a VM that's the problem. I won't know until I put it to the test.
  24. Even if v8 were better optimized there's no way it would increase the performance by nearly 300%. So I know the problem has to be something else in my setup. I'm remaking the Linux VM from scratch right now. I'll keep it in mind but I have no reason to think it would make any difference. If Linux still performs poorly I guess Micro$oft will just have to take the win here and I'll put the GPU back on Windows. Linux still wins for the CPU though. By a lot.

    @Windows7ge @Gorgon OMG x2 WCG is back online S…

    That and based on what I read it's the Pascal architecture vs the newer Turning. I don't mind building cooling solutions though. Gives me a chance to play with my 3D printer and think about how I might mod a 4U with 3K RPM 120mm fans to channel the air. Heck you know what I'm cooling the Tesla P4 with? A dinky little 2Watt 40mm fan. Keeps her under 65C. The software for using/unlocking vGPU is said to work with both. The limit however is Turning. The next gen Ampere and Ada Lovelace compatibility starts to break down and you get a strict compatibility list. If I had the means to get my hands on one though I can apparently use a NVIDIA A100.
