assignX.foldingathome.org does not seem to be issuing GPU WU

Post by Crawdaddy79 »

Hello Folding At Home Forum!

I noticed today something different in my log where instead of going to a specific IP address, it now uses a assign1/2/3/4.foldingathome.org:80 address to get work units.

It grabbed a CPU work unit just fine, but for the first time since April, my GPU has not gotten a WU for several hours. I've done plenty of the old pause/unpause tricks and restarted the client (hopefully to update *something* and go back to the old I.P. addresses for work units) to no avail.

Does anyone have any insight to this, and is anyone else having the same issue?

Loggy:

Re: assignX.foldingathome.org does not seem to be issuing GP

I have used three GPU folding rigs today. One of them doesn't have any mention of the string "Connecting to assign". The two others do, and most of the time, the next line says "Assigned to work server XXXX" and then comes the usual "Requesting new work unit for slot XX" and so on. But it does happen, like here, that I get "Failed to get assignment from 'assignX.foldingathome.org:80': No WUs available for this configuration".

This looks normal, I'd say. If the AS somehow knows that there's no compatible WU available, it doesn't bother assigning a WS at all.

Thanks for the feedback.

Ironically, when I came back to my PC, it was crunching a GPU WU. It grabbed one about two minutes after I posted this thread.

There's less work available for AMD GPUs that are GCN based until the new version of Core 22 is fully tested and generally available.

So maybe it makes sense for @Crawdaddy79 to join the beta team to help testing Core 22 beta on AMD GCN GPU?

I'll consider going beta for sure if my system runs dry again. I legitimately thought that because the assignment server change correlated with my lack of WU, that it was the cause. Turns out I just needed to post a thread about it to wake the server up.

EDIT: After finishing that last WU and not getting a new one for five minutes, I added the advanced field to my GPU slot. Then it pulled a 11760 WU. :)

When the surge of new clients hit FAH a couple months back, all our servers were overwhelmed. We've been addidng server capacity ever since. Even so, we still do get to a point where all servers are running at (or slightly above) reasonable bandwidth and one of the functions of the Assignment servers is to limit the servers to what they can reasonably handle. You get the same message if they can't accept your request or there are no servers that have the kind of assignment your seeking, even if there happen to be assignments for other system configurations than yours. e.g.- it doesn't explicitly say "We have no more GPU WUs right now, would you like a CPU assignment?"

This isn't helped by the testing of new FAHCore when the bug is that your last upload was incomplete so we can't generate the next sequential assignment.
