...This one is always fun, and frustrating. ...
...For the newer members, this is one challenging competition. ..
...It drives me crazy, but is so much fun! ....
I am glad that we just had Einstein and WCG sprints recently in Formula BOINC. That way I was at least aware of such quirks like WCG's throttled task distribution to new clients, or Einstein's web config interface made for little Einsteins.For the newer members, this is one challenging competition.
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration says that it also disables manually triggered benchmarks.So if you add the first line to cc_config.xml the benchmark will not run unless you run it manually.
I suspect that it isn't actually broken, but merely overloaded. I read on seti-germany that Cosmo's validator is still behind with validations. The work generators are presumably running on the very same host.Ah man. Someone broke Cosmology. Again. And it's the weekend. I wonder how long this will take...
WCG's web site was down earlier today too (500 internal server error), but surely not because of the Pentathlon.Cosmo was completely off line for a bit, couldn't even access the homepage. Only lasted about 5 minutes thankfully.
I had been using two blower cards in a PC for a short while recently (for the first and the last time). From this brief experience I am certain that your staggered layout with riser cards makes a big difference.ThunderStrike is performing well, regarding the close proximity of the GPUs.
Well, I guess it'll be interesting when I resume all the Einstein work I've suspended. At least I'm doing them two at a time, so if one freezes the other shouldn't. And I wouldn't expect a Linux task to freeze the entire system.And a word of warning: Today I had another crash of a suspended Einstein GPU task when I resumed it.
If you can figure that out, it would be a major breakthrough!It must certainly be possible with some client_state.xml hackery to carry tasks from one client to another...
But a kernel driver can.I wouldn't expect a Linux task to freeze the entire system.
