I've been taskless for about 4 days now. I purchased a Nvidia GTX 1055 (crippled GTX 1060 w/ 3GB) that replaced my blazing fast 48 cuda core Nvidia GT 520. Itching to get crunching on GPUGRID using the new gear. | |

I've been taskless for about 4 days now. Yeah, the server still says there are no new tasks available & over 2K in progress... I purchased a Nvidia GTX 1055 (crippled GTX 1060 w/ 3GB) that replaced my blazing fast 48 cuda core Nvidia GT 520. Perhaps they should have called it a GTX1055 or stuck with the GTX1060 and called the GTX1060-6GB a GTX1065 (AKA 465), but they called it a GTX1060-3GB, and they get to name their babies! Also, AMD had a Phenom II 1055T 6-core CPU, released ~6years ago, and NV have a GTX 1050Ti. My guess is NV didn't want to call one a GTX1060 and the other a GTX1060Ti because they have the 1060Ti earmarked for their 14nm mid-high end refresh next year, along with the inevitable GTX1080Ti... Maybe we will also see a suffix or something subtle indicating node refinement/GDDR RAM variations for the entry level variants too. NV do like to express themselves through nomenclature. ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help | |

Yep. Same... heating my place with my GPU and when it getting cold...i know something is wrong... searching for prime number in hope to survive :D I'm keeping the 1060 occupied on milkyway@home for the time being. With 5 concurrent tasks it averages 3 minutes a piece. Mechanical hard drive thrashed and thrashed with 10+ tasks but I got her up to 19 tasks before the system became totally unresponsive. I imagine the workstation simply ran out of RAM leaving it up to the pagefile.sys and readyboost which could't juggle/sort out all the data. The GTX1060-3GB never maxed out its memory during the entire ordeal and in fact it was twiddling its thumbs and sat near idle at times (after completing a task before starting another) waiting for workstation to get over itself. Quite impressed with the GTX1060-3GB! With 100% utilization running 5 MW@H tasks it runs cool (currently a cozy 102f/39c with fan speed at 90%, sips power, and is easy on the wallet. - - Still would love to witness a 1080 in action though! | |

BNBS2 simulations are chained (i.e. when one completes it sends the next step of the simulation) so I don't expect to run out yet. Next week...maybe?...hopefully :D?

You have to remember most people cache WU's so apart from those crunchers that actually run 2 at a time on a single GPU you don't have 3600 running. Then there are those who will hold on to WU's for 5 days before they are resent. Not a problem while you still have enough to send but becomes a slow down when you haven't and are waiting for the last ones to return.

It looks like it's over for now due to there only being a single project on the list. I wouldn't be surprised if there are new ones coming out soon.Yes. In phases as in lots of work, no work, lots of work, no work, etc.Even though the server status shows 0~3 unsent workunits there is work until the number of workunits in progress is higher than the number of the active hosts (2000~2500) as new workunits generated from a finished workunit (but it's instantly grabbed by some hungry host, hence there is 0 unsent in these periods). Maybe someone can tell me if this is normal or not? I'd appreciate it.To understand this a litte deeper, you should understand the naming architecture of the workunits. For example: ARG59ALA_S14F21_C2-SDOERR_BNBS2-0-4-RND9058_2 The main parts of the name is separated by dashes ("-"), let's split this name by them: 1. The name (ID) of the molecules involved 2. The scientist's name, and the batch name 3. The actual number of this workunit in the chain (starts at 0) 4. The final number in the chain 5. The random seed number for the given chain, and the actual number of resends. Since the chain starts at 0, the number of workunits in the chain is 1 more than the number in position 4. The last workunit in the chain has the same numbers in position 3 and 4. Ok scratch that. I just got a task for my system. Try to leave yours on and you'll get one like I did.We'll receive new workunits in a descending probability while the number of unsent is at 0 until the number in position 3 reaches the number in position 4, after that we'll receive workunits only when they timed out (sitting in the queue on slow, or overwhelmed, or inactive hosts). | |

So are all the important WUs like 0-2 in the chain assigned to the fast cards and the last one assigned to the slower cards? That would make sense as for whatever reason you can only run them in a serial chain rather than all parallel. | |

I would have thought that this is the figure shown in the upper right hand corner of the project status page (i.e. approx. 5600 right now) - or am I mixing up something?We can't have 5600 active hosts while there's only 3300 workunits are in progress, right? As a host can have only 2 workunits per GPU, and there are negligible number of hosts with multiple GPUs, the real number of the active hosts is about the half of the number of workunits in progress. There are 5600 hosts with recent credit. Now what does "recent" mean is unclear, perhaps it is the past 30 days, but I wouldn't call a host active if it's crunching only a few workunits in a month. | |

I think the long demanding tasks are almost gone now. So if you are just concerned about the 24 hour limit, I would keep the GTX 960 for now. I second that. The gtx 960 is a good mid-range card and energy efficient (Maxwell). It is somewhat comparable to the new 1050ti in terms of crunching speed. So if at all, you need to upgrade to the gtx 1060 to have a noticeable speed improvement. Price is from 200 USD (for the 3G model) and up. But for the moment, if you miss the 24h deadline just narrowly, you may want to overclock your 960 a little. ____________ I would love to see HCF1 protein folding and interaction simulations to help my little boy... someday. | |

Most likely the scientists have to design the simulation which takes time and once completed they need to analyze the results and create and publish papers which summarize what they've learned. This is not a fast process so I would be more lenient towards expecting work at all times. | |

Hm yes. It takes a while to come up with new meaningful projects or collaborations. We try not to send out simulations without a purpose.

Theoretically I am sure there could be other groups/people wanting to simulate on GPUGRID instead of us having it idle, it is however quite complicated to organize collaborations, simulation priorities etc. One more question, Stefan, if I may. Can your students possibly be involved in this kind of distributed computing? Maybe in the course of a laboratory tutorial, making their own simulations and evaluations on simple proteins, using spare power of GPUGRID. There are quite a few benefits from that approach,
- you may save work time by outsourcing some minor problems to students - you may benefit from creative thinking of students - future researchers can familiarize with this kind of simulation and become group members occasionally

Hm yeah the student thing could work although you would have to take into consideration all the mistakes they will make which would be wasted computational power. Right! On the other hand, how should they learn it otherwise if not by trial and error? If we generate some aha reactions in young minds, I don't consider that as wasted entirely. However we only teach one trimester per year so it would be a pretty short thing of ~3 weeks per year. Well, 3 weeks are 3 weeks... and maybe one or two gifted students want to learn more (and contribute something really valuable) in the course of a diploma thesis because the lab tutorial made them curious. What you could also try is making one dedicated workplace in the lab with (limited) GPUGRID access generally available to students. There, they could upload their own simulations in their free time and feed the "educational" queue. And I am pretty sure, there will be quite a few people using it. Isn't it awesome to know that thousands of volunteers provide their computing power just to solve your riddle? How cool is that? :-)) As an incentive, you could award the most promising results once a year by a prize of symbolic nature.

From my own experience as a student (Techn. University Vienna) I think there can be many positive effects, students will likely team up to work on a particular Problem anyway. And they will certainly share information and have discussions about multiple approaches. I think that no one will do secret mongering because of just a symbolic prize. And hey, competition has always been part of scientific research. There are scholarships and fellowships, grants and the race for honor and the best published work. That is the custom. Well... that was just a minor detail of my proposal. Forget about the prize if you think it has a negative impact.

To solve this continuous shortage I suggest a backup project within the GPUGrid project, which has the lowest possible priority. This could be a totally different research, I think something like protein folding (I'm not sure if the ACEMD is capable of this). My other thought is a very large molecule which take very long time to simulate, but the simulation is split up to vast number of pieces. Perhaps those who start this research, and those who will finally analyse the result will be different scientists, but if the science is the same it could be done. | |

You will be very well of getting the 1070 and if you could get the 1080 do it. One more comment from my side, if I may. From my experience the performance gain of the 1080 over the 1070 (OC) in terms of crunching is very little whereas the purchasing price is 50% higher. Retrospectively, I would not buy the 1080 again but stick to a good overclocked and silent 1070.

I have two 1070s in my main rig because I took into consideration crunching speed, power consumption and SLI frame rates at 4k. So far, I'm very happy. Although my only complaint is when an exclusive application is running and then closes only one of the GPUs fires back up for a WU. Both WUs say they are running but one of them is at 1600mhz core but 0% gpu load. It never goes away on it's own and I have to restart the computer to get the 2nd card to do any crunching. | |

Sometimes if I have extra work units on one machine and one isn't doing anything I abort the spares and quickly update GPUGrid on the idling system, seems to work pretty well. | |

And bone dry again... seems that we can go over to crunching even more complex molecules, can't we? Cut them into slices and we get plenty of work for everyone... hopefully. | |

I tried moving some hardware to GPUgrid again but no work again. | |

Hell, I'm even struggling to get short units, most of my GPUs are idle or doing other projects unfortunately just to keep my house warm. | |

The tasks are very low at the moment, only 73 to send. I hope this doesn't mean the start of another shortage again. | |

We are almost at the critical point again where people's GPUs will be idling due to lack of work, we only have 2200 running with 0 tasks ready to send. | |

As usual - folding@home is the answer ;) | |

I woke this morning and checked the status of processing only to find the system idling, is there currently a work shortage? I set the system to run Seti Institute date, however, I would much prefer to be running protein simulations. | |

is there currently a work shortage?yes, there is. This happens once in a while. | |

Theoretically I am sure there could be other groups/people wanting to simulate on GPUGRID instead of us having it idle, it is however quite complicated to organize collaborations, simulation priorities etc. In view of the recurrent lack of GPU jobs ... I would like to get back to my previous proposals, see above. Even if students dont make every experiment right, I would really prefer running those "educational" tasks on my machine and help young scientists to work into the matter instead of creating ballooned prime numbers or looking for Aliens in space. Just a thought. ____________ I would love to see HCF1 protein folding and interaction simulations to help my little boy... someday. | |
