CPU not folding

Post by rickoic »

My 12 Core (downgraded to 10 by client) was folding just fine and then all of a sudden it stopped.

Log indicates that it gets sent to server 171.67.108.45 and says it fails to properly respond.
Then gets sent to 171.64.65.35 and gets a response Empty Work Server.

Went to Server Status page and couldn't find either one of those servers listed??
I'm folding because Dec 2005 I had radical prostate surgery.

Several 1st cousins lost and a few who have survived.

You do know that the servers are all down today and tomorrow, right? viewtopic.php?f=2&t=30126

If you could post the first 100 lines of the log with the configuration and the part of the log that fails, we would make even better guesses why folding has stopped.

Those servers are Assignment Servers, they are no longer tracked on the Server Status page. Currently just Work Servers and Collection Servers are posted there.

As already mentioned, many of the servers at Stanford are down due to the announced electrical work, the fact your client can connect to either one of the AS just means it is in a different location on the campus. It may not have any WS's up with assignments for a multiple of 5 to connect your system to. Try pausing the slot and setting it for 8 threads, possibly it can connect your system to one of the WS's not at Stanford that may have suitable work.

All of the Assignment Servers have been down this morning and are likely to be down until some time tomorrow. A result is that NOBODY is getting any new WUs.

Several of my hosts are still folding WUs that were distributed yesterday but as they finish up, they attempt to upload and ONLY if the Work Server or Collection Server is at one of the non-Stanford sites, it will probably succeed, but it still won't be getting any new work. The client will keep retrying until it gets responses some time tomorrow.

Just to be a bit contrary:

I set all units to "Finish" last night (UK time), so as not to get any "stuck" WUs since I will be unable to resolve issues when the servers are due back. I shut down my dedicated folding rig, but left the office PC (CPU folding only) running with FAH in the paused state after it uploaded. Then it crashed (clearly it did not like not folding :(), I rebooted, FAH restarted and immediately got an assignment from the 2nd AS. Hope I can finish it before the server power goes (again?).

Facts are not "contrary" when they're observed, they're facts. Electrical repairs on a big campus probably progresses in phases, depending on the building the server is in and other factors, so the exact timining cannot be predicted except by the people doing the wor,k. There's nothing wrong with letting your clients run... even though they'll probably not get a regular supply of new work.

That project is hosted on 128.252.203.4 which is at wustl.edu. Their servers are running fine so I expect you'll be able to return it promptly when it finishes. I can't promise whether you'll get a new assignment until tomorrow, though.

The other alternative is to install FAHClient 7.4.16 (beta) which will negotiate with the server and find a WU that uses as many of your CPUs as it can find and then runs with the negotiated number. When that WU finishes, it it had negotiated the 8, it will search again and may end up using 9 or 10 or 12 for the next W - but it will get work.

Thanks Bruce.
  1. It's me that was being contrary, not the facts :)
  2. I'm an electrician, I do understand something about how work is planned :D
  3. There was something wrong with letting my clients run. I was away for ten days :lol:
