LTT Folding Team's Emergency Response to Covid-19

Yes, with such an account you'd be limited with the kinds of VM's you can create. I have to contact Microsoft first to get access to the latest GPU instances, that's why I'm using the K80's.

Region is also a factor for what kind of VM's you can create, it's a puzzle!

I literally cannot create anything.  Their Free Trial page says 'a USD 200 credit to experiement with any Azure product for 30 days'.  Well its not any product is it!

 

I can't even create a simple 1core VM in any region. I get the 'NotAvailableForSubscription' issue for each.  *shrugs*

Hey guys, 

 

Has anyone had any luck running this stuff in AWS?  I have looked into using spot instances, but I am concerned about the possibility of then having those instances removed and losing the WU. 

 

Of course.  I want to help out more, by donating a little more to the resources but I'm not sure I can really afford the on demand prices for some of the GPU boxes, as they are 4 times the price of the spot instance. 

I was looking at the same. Was going for a P2 instance, but didn’t count under trial

 

you definitely would be able to hire it for F@H

Woo! Just broke my all time hourly record! 273,611 pts in 3 hours. The servers must be starting to spin up for real now.

There are plenty of GPU WUs... Now... If I could just deliver my completed units, then everything would be fine!

earn 1 million points in 1 day on 2 pcs. but the wu .... simple am not getting many

So does that mean they are shifting their server to help ease in the collection of WU's?

No. As far as I'm aware that isn't possible.

 

The work server and collection server for each project is baked in to the work units.

Each project is assigned a work server. The work server will distribute the project and collect the completed work units when they're finished. The collection server is a backup in case the completed work unit can't be sent to the work server.

 

The LTT server won't be able to act as a collection server for other work units unless those work units were programmed with LTT server as the collection server. Since the server is brand new it's unlikely they've put out any that will have LTTs server as the collection server.

 

The LTT server went online over the weekend, put out a small batch of WUs and waited for them to be returned. Just a test run. Then they went online again and put out more work units which were promptly gobbled up by everyone folding. Now the LTT server has no more work units to distribute. All it can do is wait for people to return collected work units until F@H peeps put out more work units on the server.

 

 

Checking the server status, it appears it is back in Assign mode but only has 34 work units

 

 

Edit:
Aaaaand it's gone.

Curiously, I haven't had any issues with delivering WU's. However I've had at least a few WU's I never got points from

Deleted comment as need to do more research

It's only one of my folding instances that continues to fail delivery with response "PLEASE_WAIT (464)".

Last time I folded was back in the PS3 days. I have no idea how the point system work but right now it seems like the estimation is all over the place.

One WU is estimated to ~150,000 from start to finish. When completed it says: Final credit estimate, 153222.00 points
The next WU is estimated to ~150,000 points from start to finish. When completed it says: Final credit estimate, 7608.00 points.
They took about the same time to complete and there were no issues uploading these.

This may be exactly how the system is designed and I know we're folding for a good cause. But damn it hurts when the actual estimate is so much lower!

I have been watching LTT for about 2 years, and joined the forum to be part of this Folding project.  I did 1 day of testing and completed about 13 units.

 

I currently have 10 WU trying to send (some for several days).

 

I have a mixed bag of systems, and not all are online all of the time.

NUC i7-8559U CPU 
32GB DDR4

 

Dual E5-2650 v2
128GB DDR3 ECC
Nvidia 980ti

 

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X 32-Core Processor
64GB DDR4
Nvidia 2080Ti

 

Gigabyte laptop i7-9750H 
32GB DDR4
Nvidia 2070 Max Q

 

Currently have 2907403  and completed 94 (81 for this project)

It looks like a GPU and a CPU workload got mixed up But it is nice to know that it all goes toward a common goal. Plus it is kind neat to be part of the largest computer powerhouse in history!

I remember buying that one years ago dirty cheap, but never have a use for it (was more interest in the hard drive and memory sticks that came with the combo) since is real slow at everything... but maybe here can find some use XD

I just got this, can someone explain what happened?

*Cries in cant find WU's to do*

 

Me ordering ITNOS and Main rig (1080ti) to fold at full power:

your client is estimating base point for second WU because it din't get right answer from server. so you won't get any points and that Wu won't be counted in your statistics for long time. it happens because of overload of servers. for me it happens  2-5 times in day

nope, just defaults to base points

Man we're making mad headway against the default team but Curecoin illustrates why you never underestimate people who grind for cryptocurrency.  Sweet jaysus they exploded onto the scene.
