Go to solution Solved by GOTSpectrum,

This event has ended and I recommend you guys head over to the Folding Community Board for any general folding conversation.

Have you considered using a VPN, even a super cheap/free one for your WU PCs?  If your connection pops out nearer to a healthier server it may well help.

My clients all run in containers on aws so my solution was pretty simple: shut down the Ohio containers and spin them up in another region. https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=955089

I know this is not a Rosetta@Home thread but it is also about covit-19! They also have so many folders that they are struggling to keep up! Awesome!

We all knew it would happen as Rosetta got some long on the folding train too!

 

Rosetta is a smaller project than F@H so they are overwhelmed more easily

Yeah, but they are a lot less popular too.

That's what I mean, folding is only able to expand so quickly due to the well known name and have so many people offer help. Feel sorry for any sysadmin atm for F@H or rosetta lol

Yeah me too. Did something like that ever happen on this scale? The non-availability of WUs I mean.

I really hope their teams get overtime... cause they did not see us coming.

Nope, F@H have hovered around 30-40K users for a very long time, they have never had enough compute before, now they have far too much, but they are catching up. Assigning 120K WUs per hour, also from my experience the size of the WUs have increased quite a bit. My guess to make them take longer and get more science done.

I like the mining chassis for it's ability to run cards cooler. Currently the 6 GPUs I have in it are all running between 65-70C and at 46-60% fan with no overclocks and even with 5 Fractal 120mm fans blowing cooler air over the cards it is virtually silent compared to my dual rigs in large volume chassis (Fractal Define R4s & Define S).

With the mining chassis, how do connect all your cards? Because you need at least pci-e 4x right? Is it possible to split multiple cards to single pci-e 16x slots?

Uhmm... but that made me think... maybe the E2160 what is too slow for F@H can work with Rosetta... will test that later!

I have noticed that too, getting some really big WU's and it's a good strategy on their part.

Keeps each of our devices busy longer, reducing the number of WU requests to their servers, increasing the responsiveness of those servers when you need the next one due to less per second hits.

I wish they would make massive WU... I would rather chew a 500 credit WU for half a day than do a dozen little ones.

They used to do bigadv WUs for CPUs but now most CPU WUs are bigger than that anyway.

 

I think maybe it's time they rolled out a bigadv GPU project, having WUs that take 12 hours but manage much larger protein or much long simulations. Will be interested to see how they go moving forward

I was under the same impresion since all the last WUs are with longer ETAs... makes sense!

This would be amazing!   For those providing massive GPU resources to the project might as well take advantage of it.
 

At least while they have so many people running 24/7 as dedicated hardware.
