Grid down

[clownius]

Cant seem to connect to GPUGrid atm and i just installed my second GTX295 too.  Is it down for everyone?  I just errored out both my spare work units so the GPU's are going cold.  Dont you love what Vista does when you install new hardware.

Yes it's been down for quite a while (maybe all day?)  I have one WU in progress, none left in cache.

[clownius]

Awwww well at least its not just me then.  Hope its up soon so i can let the hungry beasts loose and attempt to double my output.

What's Vista

Ubuntu for the win

All my gpus are drying up also.  Hope they get it fixed soon or it will be a long cold weekend.

guess it's time to fire up seti CUDA to keep things warm until they're back.

[clownius]

Great idea i forgot about seti.

Great idea i forgot about seti.

No use for me as they (according to the list of apps) only support CUDA on 32 bit Windows.  :(

Ah well, such is life.  4 CPU cores and a GPU down for the weekend.

There seems to be something at lunatics (http://lunatics.kwsn.net/linux/seti-mb-cuda-for-linux.0.html) but not sure how well it works (and seems to use 100% of a core just to drive the GPU)

Can't get that to work.  Work units error out after something like 15 seconds.

Ends with:

Cuda error 'cudaMemcpyToSymbol(cudaAcc_GaussFit_settings, (void*) &settings, sizeof(settings))' in file './cudaAcc_gaussfit.cu' in line 454 : invalid device symbol.

Looks like it'll be another day or so before it's back up. Just found this on the Berkely Boinc forums

    Hi, happy Easter. In perfect timing, it seems that we had a power cut and the server is down. I am not sure if we can bring it up before Tuesday morning. We will be probably change the deadlines so people will be able to get credits.

At least there's news - the project has not disappeared without a trace like at least one other project did in the past.

I believe GPUGrid is based in Spain, so even if they get it up and running at say 9am  (their) Tuesday morning, that would be Tuesday afternoon/evening in Australia

[clownius]

Oh well at least we know whats happening sort of.  Seti is keeping my GPU's warm for now.

Well, uploaded the two jobs I had on TheGnat, but they aren't recorded in my results as at 5.23 PM 14/04/09

got the new masterfile, but it can't open the database, so I guess I continue playing games *grin*.... after "Time Team" *grin*

EDIT: Was granted credit, but at the normal rate *sigh*..... even though should have been 150% in at least one case.... but it sure as heck beats MW and it's crash

[dyeman]

Seems to be down again (at least it's not the Easter weekend!)

[clownius]

Not again.  Gah i just found out why my computer was crashing too.  It seems you should never run 2 GTX 295's on one 12v rail of your PSU lol.  Not even if its a 1500W PSU
