Message boards : News : Doubled number of hosts
Author | Message |
---|---|
If I am not missing anything, GPUGRID volunteers doubled the number of active hosts in the last month. It may have been either due to the closing of seti@home, or a consequence of folding at home’s covid effort. | |

we will see how many of them will stay permanently, but great news | |

Well, now we have plenty of work units. It's very important. | |

I expected such. Going to be more hosts coming over from Seti@home with the project finishing up. Soon as the project stops sending out work, all my gpus will be doing GPUGrid full time with higher resource shares. | |

Going to be more hosts coming over from Seti@home with the project finishing up. Dave Anderson is a genius. He stopped SETI at just the right time. | |

I used to have a GTX 1080 dedicated to FAH but there has been limited work there so I moved it to GPUGrid. | |

Well, now we have plenty of work units. It's very important. It's certainly linked to that indeed. We stayed for a very long time in shortage of WU's which had to effect inactivating a lot of hosts statistically speaking. ____________ [CSF] Thomas H.V.

For me ... and a couple of my teammates from SETI@Home -- Hey guys! :^) ... it's the closure. I picked this project because it's both a worthy and certainly important cause especially these days, and because it has a CUDA 10 Linux client. No point in wasting the GPUs' potential. | |

As someone who recently rejoined, GPUGRID is the only project issuing sufficient work units for GPUs right now. Everyone else is CPU bound or issuing GPU work units not compatible with my hardware. | |

I am here because of all the folding@home news on gaming/hardware related websites. I've tried it but it often doesn't have any work for me since everybody is doing it now so I've looked for alternatives. | |

I'm here because F@H caused me to look at my BOINC processes and I saw I had underutilized GPU resources. It doesn't hurt that SETI is done for now. | |

I recently joined after doing work on World Community Grid for year and realized my GPU was not being used. I installed F@H and I wasn't getting any work units. | |

I discovered BOINC in June and joined WCG in July. Have been running it since then. I tried to run GPU GRID and F@H, but it seemed like the GPU was overheating my tiny T490 way too much. | |

I recently doubled up on GPUs in my 2 puny hosts, does that count? Sarcastic humor aside, congratulations to Toni and the staff on the uptick in available hosts. It shows that this is an undertaking very worthy of the support of the global crunching community. Distributed computing is a way everyone can participate in prevention and cure, no matter what the current biological villain might be. Yet, medicine is only one of the many applications of distributed computing. Long live DC and its spirit of volunteerism! | |

I have had a few PCs on gpugrid for some time. With the ending of the SETI workload I have started adding gpugrid to all my GPU systems. The point about the Covid-19 virus work is added incentive. Some older or lower end cards that would do SETI work do not get gpugrid work allocated to them. So some upgrades will be needed in the future, probably post recession... | |

I've actually been joined to this project for some time, but yes, I am primarily a FAH participant. Since their influx has actually ended up pushing a lot of mid-upper range rigs out of the pool, I came back here. I have to admit, part of the reason I didn't stay initially was because the configs are a little cumbersome, until you take the time to get accustomed to synchronizing between web and local. | |

I really think F@H needs to work in BOINC so that way if units are not being sent out you can do other work. Those Stanford guys are too arrogant to use BOINC. I've been telling them that for years. It's hopeless. | |

I really think F@H needs to work in BOINC so that way if units are not being sent out you can do other work. They did for a while - they gave it up due to the extra headache and no real benefit to them. That said though - a smart programmer could set it up quite easily as a third party. | |

I'm here because of the same reason than others here: F@H has too less WUs and i didn't want to waste PC time when i let my PC run 24/7 for Covid19 stuff. | |

I found BOINC after Folding at home was having a work shortage due to the COVID-19 effort. Much better UI. Plenty of PC's laying around to put to use, just wish there was a tax write-off for all this energy I'm using on behalf of science! | |

Some years they had a grad student working on that. Sadly, he moved on. They hardly have had the resources to update the current client. Dunno if they are getting more funds now. With nVidia pointing out Folding@home, all the gamers went over there and their servers got overwhelmed (imagine your a restaurant and suddenly some famous reviewer says you gotta try them...it's not the restaurant's fault they don't have enough seating for all these people). They didn't have any advance notice and they can't just throw more server resources at it like the big corporations. It takes some time to get them and prep them. You can get work, but there are times when the server just isn't able to get to uploading or downloading. Some folks at Rosetta said do Folding on the GPU and let the CPUs take up Rosetta so things are always crunching... ~Yav | |

Minimum supported version is r418.39. Your driver is too old see FAQ here: http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=5002 As you have an old driver, you were recieving jobs from a faulty batch (PABLO_UCB_NMR_KIX). This compounded your issues. | |

But yeah, in all seriousness though, it looks like they're working on getting it ready still. I'm still crunching here and for Rosetta for the time being either way. It'll be nice to see COVID-19 related WUs from GPUGrid too, when they're ready. Also, it looks likes some of the current WUs do have implications for potentially aiding in COVID-19 related research.

as far as i can tell my log when starting boinc does not indicate that my gpu is insufficient.Your laptop has a GT 550M, which is a Fermi architecture GPU. It has compute capability 2.1. This GPU is too old for the GPUGrid client. BTW do not use Windows 7 anymore. | |

Yes, if you don't have a relatively modern Nvidia card with sufficient VRAM, you cannot crunch for this project. Yup... I found my old 9400 GT and popped it into one of my old systems, only to find that it wouldn't get tasks from GPUGRID. The GTX 960, on the other hand, is happily crunching away. Then I looked again at nvidi-smi on the 9400, and sure enough, it says "Not Supported" under the computing task list. Oh well. | |
