    It counts correctly. but your 927 WUs will be rounded to the next lowest ten on the certificate.

    Also thanks to @leadeater and everyone else who has helped us get through this event. Remember. Every point counts, every completed WU has in some way helped with researching COVID-19 (or some other disease) I'm truly happy to finish within to 10 but then I look up and see @Macaw2000 with more than 3x my point, and @Den-Fi with almost 3x the points I have. And @walderston managed to beat me in daily points even though I was running 16x V100s for most of day 14. Especially for this event I don't care a tiny bit if someone has used mercenaries or not, completed WUs is all that matters! So thank you from a distance, to everyone who participated in this event! Hopefully they can use all of our hard work for something good in the near future.

    Yay, made it to top 10. I initially hoped to finish within top 100, then top 20. But damn I didn't expect to reach top 10. Is it mercenaries when you use the company serverfarm that you mostly build yourself? Thank you @GOTSpectrum for an amazing event. This is my first, but I'll remember to check for new ones in the future! Maybe then I'll stick to a 100% homegrown farm. Eh. folding farm. --- Ohh, the silence from my custom quite fan-curve... I've missed you

    Thanks for an amazing event, and great job to everyone! I managed to get my 100.000.000 points. I'd say that's a good job for a first time folder. ... Now I can finally relax.

    The web interface should look like this: (GPU 7 has finished and is paused)
  6. GalaxyNetworks
    Just "FAHClient --send-command finish" if it can't find FAHClient, then "/usr/bin/FAHClient --send-command finish"
  7. GalaxyNetworks
    FAHClient --send-command finish That's the right command.

    Yes, it will continue to fold already downloaded units as they are assigned to you. The web control seems broken to me. If I press stop folding and then finish, it doesn't do anything. I'm using the Advanced Control for that.
  9. GalaxyNetworks
    Soon to hit 100.000.000 points

    In denmark they had to make rules against people stockpiling meds. Now there's strict control of whatever's being sold and it's illegal for pharmacies to sell more than a customer needs.
  11. GalaxyNetworks
    Well... Yes, Denmark.

    I can only do it because today is a national holiday... Suddenly two of our servers each with 8 Tesla V100s went out for maintenance... Folding maintenance that is! ~45.000.000 PPD
  13. GalaxyNetworks
    But.. . I'll get it (the points) before that.
  14. GalaxyNetworks
    Only 5.000.000 points left to get the GOLD badge!!! Or should I say... 3-4 hours left to get the GOLD badge.

    If I forget to open the window at regular intervals, then it gets so hot that when I finally open it, everything including monitors starts to creak.

    Like Favebook said, I'd advice against using client-type advanced. I asked if you had it set because that could be the reason for why you have all these failed WUs. Sorry for not making that more clear.
  17. GalaxyNetworks
    Double-click the client, go to Expert, add 'client-type': 'advanced'
  18. GalaxyNetworks
    Is your 2080ti OC'ed? Mine is chewing through all the WU's it gets with no issues. Also have you set 'client-type' to 'advanced' in the extra tab? That will give you late stage beta WUs so it should be easier to get WUs

    You can try this link with the different team ids: https://stats.foldingathome.org/user?callback=stats&user={USERNAME}&team={TEAMID}&passkey={PASSKEY}&version=7.5.1&_=1 This is the API the FAH web client uses to show stats, in theory you should only be able to see stats for the LTT team with your username and passkey.

    If I remember correctly, the original post had the end set to: "Ends April, 10th (00:00 GMT)" and that would make it 14 days. He probably just updated the end time and forgot to change the day as well. I just needed confirmation that the event would end today. I'll keep a rig folding but I am without doubt looking forward for the end of this competition.
  21. GalaxyNetworks
    Quick question. @GOTSpectrum or to anyone who knows. When does the event end? The frist post says the following: "Starts March, 27th (00:00 GMT) Ends April, 10th (23:59 BST)" That's 15 days but the post also says the event last 14 days. If I remember correctly the post once said "Ends April, 10th (00:00 [GMT or BST]) and that would be correct for ~14 days ignoring the change to summer time. So... Does it end tonight at 23:59 BST (in 15h 22m) or tomorrow at 23:59 BST (in 39h 22m)? I'm curios as I've finally received my new Corsair Obsidian 1000D and I would like to start rebuilding my PCs But I wont turn them off during the event...

    FYI. You don't need the CUDA SDK for cloud folding, just install 'gcc', 'make', the latest Nvidia driver and the FAH client. For no warnings GCC have to be the same version as the one that build the kernel. This is based on a test run on Google Cloud with T4's and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - 10 GB disk. (With this OS I know the GCC warning can be skipped as the GCC version is only a minor difference) From my experience, cost can be delayed up to a day. I don't know if longer... My advice would be to look at the hourly charge, add that up, and then stop early for any possible cost you forgot.

    If you don't want to upgrade your account or look at quotas, then yes... It's hard. But it's rather easy if you just give it a few seconds. Region usually makes a lot of sense. In this situation you just want any GPU in any region, and they have limited GPUs right now, I know that's annoying. But this kind of usage is not what Google Cloud or any cloud is about. Try Azure, you'd be just as annoyed with them! Just looked, I can't even find all regions in the quota tab, so I'd have to make a support ticket and wait for human response. I just tried to make a Google Cloud preemptible instance with 4 T4's... Failed in US, succeeded in EU. And I could even clone it a few times... I don't have credits though, so I'll be terminating them again.

    Be aware that this is most likely not the correct way to do it, but it may help if you're still stuck. Do you have the file /usr/bin/FAHClient? This is the executable. It will generate files and folders in the current directory, so do not simply run it. You can use /etc/init.d/FAHClient to start and stop the client. "/etc/init.d/FAHClient start/stop/status/log" If configuration failed you can "cd /etc/fahclient/" and run "sudo /usr/bin/FAHClient --configure". I'm not sure if this will generate the work directory and database here as well. These files are usually saved in "/var/lib/fahclient" as you can see in the "cat /etc/init.d/FAHClient" script. Now run the client "sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient start".

    You keep forgetting that you only pay for consumption in the cloud. Do you need to scale up for a short period due to a product or update release, No problem! Then you simply scale down when you no longer need the extra resources. Please do that on-prem! You compare a cloud product with a matching machine... That's not how you're supposed to use the cloud! Lets say you need a Tesla V100 for data crunching. You run it monthly and only for 4 to 6 hours. What would be most beneficial? Buying the hardware and let it get dusty or simply setup a cheap preemptible/spot instance in the cloud when needed? The more you use it the more it makes sense to have your own hardware, but even then it might still be better with a cloud solution. It all depends...
