I'd be fascinated to hear how well we did with the original 400-WU research challenge over the weekend, after that slightly shaky start.

Before anything, we would like to apologize for the big mess of this last weekend. It obviously was a peculiar situation and as such, our settings proved not to be correctly prepared for it. I hope we have learned the lesson.

About the results, I just correctly fetched around 50% of the WU I was expecting (~200) and they are ready to be analysed.

If someone is interested in this particular experiment: we are trying to assess the conformational behavior of a chemokine named CXCL12, related to a vast number of diseases including different types of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and autoinmune disorders. By analysing the conformational changes occurring in a scale of 200ns (the length of the simulations you just crunched) we are aiming to unravel new surfaces and druggable protein pockets that we can use to design drugs against. Molecular simulations are, perhaps at exception of some NMR techniques, the only way of atomically determining the protein conformational space at such small scales and thus provide a unique insight into the natural dynamics of proteins.

Thanks again for your big crunching contribution and such fantastic forum support.

pretty, early in the morning, first and successful :-)

Hello.

I got one too and is already fixed, so my gtx 970 can crunch all night long.

Thanks guys for quick fix-up.

confirmed new very longs are fixed.

seems like these ones have low atom count - only 95% power use at 1.5Ghz 970X

So I get home from a work trip and see a very long running on my GTX 750. The task is at 49 hours and 77%. Despite missing the bonus. We should all get the bonus if we are putting in the time. I want it to finish. Looks like 15 hours to go. I notice the 750 was stuck at 400Mhz so I rebooted twice and it went back up to 1250Mhz. Not sure why or how long it ran at 400 but it is fixed now.

My question is: do I need to edit the text files for this to upload or will it go on its own now. I don't want all of this time to go to waste.

Thanks for any help.

I'd for sure check it according to the instructions above. I fixed 3 of them and they all finished fine. Without the fix they would have failed. Two more were already fixed, so did 5 in all. Don't care to see any more of these mammoths: aborted the last 3 received so they could run on faster cards. Your 750 time sounds about right as my 750Ti cards completed 4 of them, finishing in 48.5-50.5 hours. My lone 670 ran faster, about 38.5 hours.

I don't know about you but I am very impressed with the 750. I can overclock the proc by 50 and the memory by 1 Ghz with no problem. Best card for $80 ever.

This is what I found in my config file:

Does this look right? It has 512 instead of 128.

Yes, that one should run through to the end and report normally, everything else being equal. No action needed on your part.

Thanks Gerard for the heads-up and these details about this research :)
Really appreciated.

It looks like I just got a brand new one 3 hours ago and I am crunching it now with the highest prio. 10.901% at 3:00:00 on my device 2 of 0,1,2.

ERRRRRRR. 217,000 secs of compute for nothing. It says error while computing. That was a waste. Yes, I am frustrated. I know I shouldn't be but 60 hours of compute down the drain. Don't know why. Any ideas?

Probably it's overclocked, and it can't take that much of that.
Its temperature doesn't go over 73°C, so it's not overheating.
You should either decrease the GPU clock by 10-20-50MHz, or increase the GPU voltage by 25mV (increase its power target).
But I don't recommend the latter.

Good to know. Thanks for looking into it. Guess the overclock is too much.

A good test for overclocking stability, is to see if Heaven 4.0 can run for 5 solid hours without any freezing and without any TDRs logged in C:\Windows\LiveKernelReports\WATCHDOG.

Keep downclocking in 13 Mhz intervals, until you are sure it is rock solid in that test case :)

Re- issued task due to time-out past deadline of original release. 26.60 hours, finished with no errors.

There's another longer than usual batch called GERARD_CXCL12_confAnaFX_ada2, it took 9 hours for my GTX780Ti to complete.
It's granted 251,400 credits (including the 50% bonus).

Knocked it out in 5 hours ... EVGA GeForce 980 .. no sweat
