Graphics cards (GPUs) :
RTX 3090 Compute Error
(Message 56860)

You need to remove that host from GPUGrid. There is no application support yet for the Nvidia 3000 series cards. All tasks error out immediately. Looks like I'd better hold off on buying the RTX 3060 card I'm planning to have, then. World Community Grid is already offering GPU versions of their Open Pandemics tasks, though. https://join.worldcommunitygrid.org?recruiterId=480838 |

New D3RBanditTest workunits
(Message 56611)
Posted 1161 days ago by robertmiles
I have a dual GPU system, GTX 980 and GTX 1080 TI, and all of these work units have failed. Drivers are current as of Decemeber. I had to roll back January update as it didn't play nice with Milkyway@Home while you folks were on Holiday. Suddenly I can't complete a work unit without error. Running for how many hours a day? The GTX 1080 Ti should be adequate if you run it 24 hours a day, but I'm not sure if the GTX 980 will be. |

Or, if that's not possible, can I limit BOINC to 1 task only? Less preferrable, as time will be spent on comms and downloads, but better than expiring tasks someone else could've processed... One reason is that always having a second task downloaded while the first one is running avoids wasting GPU time by having no task running while it is downloading the second one. I wouldn't mind if it waited for this download until the first task was approaching its finish, though. But note that the estimated time to completion is not a reliable way of deciding when it is about to finish until at least a few tasks have completed successfully. |

One wonders if the project has in fact been restarted or is going thru a period of hibernation. The last I read, the project staff was putting most of their time into seeking a grant to pay for the next thing they will do. Whoever provides that grant will probably have a large influence on what that next thing is. |

Hmmm... I hate to be a party pooper, but: [snip] You're ignoring the rather high expense of getting new drug candidates made if they have never been produced before. The computer simulations are much faster and less expensive than getting those new drug candidates made, and are useful in determining which new drug candidates are the most likely to be worth the expense and time required to have them made so that in vitro tests for them become possible. |

The MMR vaccine offer some protection against COVID-19. Analysis of Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) Titers of Recovered COVID-19 Patients https://mbio.asm.org/content/11/6/e02628-20 Do you have enough information on mumps antibodies that you could create workunits to dock them to parts of the virus? |

No new work since Jan 2, 2021. What is going on? You should be able to hurry up the next project - by donating enough that they will reach the estimated 50,000 euros necessary to hire and support an intern for one year. |

My browser now complains every time I try to log in to your server - something about asking for my password in a way that will send it back without any encryption. I THINK I was able to send a donation a few minutes ago, though. |

Unsent tasks decreasing much more slowly
(Message 55145)
Posted 1361 days ago by robertmiles
If repeating similar past behaviors, unsent tasks will start decreasing more quickly until they get exhausted. This suggests that the "new" tasks are really old tasks that required manual fixes to the input files before they could be sent again, and those manual fixes are getting harder and harder. |

There are so many anti-virals and vaccines under testing now, and probably available in a few months, that any additional computer project would get lost in the noise. I think they are better in focusing on more general subject matter, where they can make a difference in the longer term. The databases or whatever it is that they are establishing look worthwhile to me. True for CPU workunits, but GPU workunits related to medical research are hard to find elsewhere. There appear to be none using BOINC. Folding@home and Quarantine@home have some non-BOINC GPU workunits, though. The ones at Quarantine@home are for Linux only. The OpenPandemics subproject at World Community Grid is looking into whether the right software is available to allow GPU workunits for them. If so, they may start while they are still working on COVID-19. |
