Char Ell Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 My GPU client has been throwing the occasional exception resulting in the core shutting down with an UNSTABLE_MACHINE status but it's really been struggling with getting new WU's to process. For example last night it spent about 4 hours just trying to get a new WU after it processed the previous one and 3 hours processing about 1.5 WU's.

tk102 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 One of the last things I was dreaming this morning was that our Folding@LFN team decided to meet in person to discuss pertinent topics and show off our Folding@Home gear. As I dreamt on, I scavenged my old P4 PC and turned it into a diskless client. Then a loyal broom came walking back on its own to my garage after going to visit a friend who used to tell it great stories. Fortunately that friend didn't have as good of singing voice and we all caroused to the sound of a lute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 tk, I am officially worried about you. You should not be dreaming(day or night) about a bunch o dudes with computers and foldin Here's some ATI honeyz to take your mind off things.. (apologies to Lexxy) @Char - Ive never had such problems... I wonder what the cause is mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrtoken Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hm... don't know which is better, nVIDIA, or ATi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 @Char: Had the exact same thing tonight. The client hasn't been going smoothly today, and didn't get any work this eventing after the UNSTABLE_MACHINE message. I abandoned Folding for today.

Char Ell Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 tk, That was one supercalifragilisticexpialidocious dream man. Or should I just use psychadelic as the adjective? Just out of curiousity though, what kind of rig did I have? Astro, You are the man with the pics! Those ATI girls are hot though I do have to say that I thought the AMD girls were hotter. Go figure. Miltiades, Sorry you're experiencing the same or similar problem. I haven't checked the folding forums yet but I don't see any obvious cause for EUE's with the UNSTABLE_MACHINE status on my PC. I haven't made any hardware changes. I'm using NVIDIA's system monitor utility to watch my CPU and GPU temps and I'm not seeing any abnormal spikes. CPU is running in mid 50's Celsius and the GPU in mid 60's. The only software-related change I've done of late is upgrade my anti-virus/firewall app but it seems to be working as it should. My client never says it can't connect. It connect to an assignment server and then says it can't connect to a work server or something along those lines. Anyway, I'm chalking it up to instability in the new 1.15 core for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 phaw! check this out Ive been a death metal fan for way too long to not get giggly and excited everytime I see 666 (incorrect though it may be as the true number o the beast) mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 @Char Ell: It's going smoothly again, now. I'm not sure if the WU that ended in the UNSTABLE_MESSAGE was sent through, as it was done. Anyway, can I say what a wonderful job we are doing? We're now with the 1500 best teams! Hurray for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 good to hear its sorted Miltiades. >>congrats on the 150 Milestone and yes! super work team >>on track for the top 1000 by xmas! \o/ Note to CUDA People(those using nvidia cards) : Ive updated to Forceware 180.43 Beta[/gpubetajunkie] All is well <<link is for Vistax64 but other versions available at top of screen Try beta builds at your discretion. usual warnings apply ! mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrtoken Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 @Astro: You might want to check your graphics card, see if the total resistance from the resistors doesn't match up to 666 kiloohms, or you else you might want to get a priest to bless your GPU.

Astrotoy7 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 lolz, not being Christian, I've had no experience with priests. However, from the priests Ive seen on the news, Id prefer they dont come near me and my sexy legs thankyouverymuch mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC'ed! Miltiades, Mine seems to be running a bit better too. Last night I processed 4.44 WU's. The .44 was due to the first WU of the run throwing an exception resulting in the core shutting down with an EARLY_UNIT_END instead of the prior UNSTABLE_MACHINE. Still running the 1.15 core and still haven't changed anything on my PC so I don't understand why some WU's process correctly and others don't. Maybe it's how the F@H folks build the WU's? And of course the other issues with the F@H servers not giving out WU's seems to have cleared up for the time being. The project's GPU servers have been struggling with this problem for a while though so I half expect to run into this problem again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I got myself an e-sata caddy today and have done a drive reshuffle. The aim being to have everying eventually on one 1TB drive. The 3 drives I had whirring away suck up unnecessary juice [/power freak] Unfortunately, this reshuffle included the drive that has the OS on it. So a full reinstall from scratch was required - nett result : allowing chainz to gain even more ground *sigh* I will have to be content with silver... for now mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 We've broken the barrier of 1,000,000 points. Congrats, everyone, on this new milestone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 yep. congrats ALL on the super 100K !! And an extra w00t to chainz for passing the 800WU mark Progress in slow up the rankings in the top 1500 Im back foldin 24/7 atm. It might just be me, but I think the 180.43 drivers have sped things up just a little ? mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Char Ell Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Kudos to tk102 on reaching the 100,000 points milestone. Also props to Astrotoy7 on processing 700 WU's. Thanks to everyone's contributions I think we stand a good chance of making it into the top 1,000 folding teams by the end of November! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 yes, to celebrate, tk and I caught up with the AMD babez first featured a few pages back. More dancing, and tk wore his crazy glasses for extra mind altering effects. @chainz, see this what you missed out on when youre out shacked up in your digital bunker mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk102 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Back at you Char Ell, also 100k a couple days ago! Thanks man. Astro! Where are you getting all these pics*? I hope when LeXX reaches 50k you have something for her too? * Edit: oh yeah, a couple pages back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Char Ell Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Oooo, that is some hawt hair flinging action from that AMD dancer babe on the right. Very nice action shot you posted there, Astro. We're about to pass the Hot Chicks Fold@Home team. Does anybody mind if we stop for a bit so we can hang out and socialize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 lolz... I noticed that. Take a look at their user list though. Doesnt exactly sound babe-a-licious does it Charr? I'm more interested in destroying Picard, he's always been an overrated Captian IMO. Gimme Jonathan Archer anyday [/Trekfan] mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 A big wad of congratskis are in order for the following milestones \o/ *Chainz = 900 WUs *Charr = 300 WUs *Miltiades = 200 WUs (soon) *SDravis = 100Wus @chainz... you are almost there... we've done our best to keep it a secret but the teamLFN member that first reaches 1000 WUs will be bestowed an unimaginable power... use this power wisely, young champion. mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Thanks Astro. I can't believe you prefer Archer to Picard but to each his own. And I also noticed ChAiNz now ranks in the top 10,000 folders for the folding@home project. With over a million folding participants that puts him into the top 1%, unless my math is failing me again. I'm really hoping we can make it into the top 1,000 folding teams by the end of the month. It will be close but if we keep up this pace I think we'll make it. I've started folding all day during the work week so hopefully that gives us a little extra boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
