Re: UK

Post by uplinger WCG tech re HCC GPU reproduced in full:
First, sorry if my responses seem a little bit slow. Now, the main question that folks are asking is, "IS THIS THE END OF THE WORK?" Short answer "NO" Long answer "No, there is still planned to be over 100 days of work left for the grid. This could be longer or shorter depending on actual number of final batches we get from the researchers AND how fast everyone can process the work units when they're available. (sorry for caps, not screaming, just wanting to make sure members see the question that seems to be causing the most grief. ) Onto the other questions: "Why was there not more of a warning on running out of work?" Answer: "We have been processing most of the work units as they have become available from the researchers. With the high volume of batches we were doing each day, the researchers have been keeping our backlog of a few days. Thus if there is any sort of hiccup in the process it causes an issue similar to what we are seeing today. We are working with the researchers to hopefully get that few days backlog up. But there are logistics behind how the backlog on their end is created, which is something I have no knowledge of so any comments from me on it would be a total guess." Please note that we are working with the researchers towards getting new work loaded and as soon as it is available we will let everyone know. The estimated time for this could be anything from 1 day to next week. As you can probably guess, we really don't have a good ETA for new work to be sent out. Thank you for your patience as we work through this issue, -Uplinger

"IS THIS THE END OF THE WORK?" [Shurely shome mistake - he meant to say "WORLD"?] biggrin

Re: UK

LOL laughing

Even if it was, I sure that projects with GPU capability would be along at some point in the future.

Re: UK

It'd be nice to have more choice, when it comes to supporting GPU-based projects. HCC is a good one, one I'd support as a primary-choice anyway, but it's not going to last forever...

Re: UK

Threats to the UK team's rankings:
	       Team        	Gap	   	         Net		       Days to close		
RunTime Crunch Current Nov-12 Trend

Kansas State University 44,438 32 1,374
KAUST 63,760
localwurst 154,072 229 672 656 Slower
My Little Pony 181,931 329 552 510 Slower
Points
TeAm AnandTech 29,158,000 1,554,132 19 Faster
Crunching@EVGA 33,851,425 1,150,865 29 57 Wider
localwurst 114,058,958 347,375 328 245 Slower
My Little Pony 231,239,829 1,866,016 124 141 Slower
Results
Crunching@EVGA 99,944 3,169 32 30 Slower
International Team 602,132 32 18,986 Slower
My Little Pony 740,281 1,769 419 300 Slower

Note: "Trend" is a new feature and indicates forecast variation in the rate of closure.

In the eight days since the previous post Crunching@EVGA have substantially cut the number of days to close on the UK team's Points ranking but the trend in rate of closure is slower. Conversely TeAm AnandTech were an invalid threat 8 days ago are now valid at 19 days with a faster trend. sad
Uncertainty exists in the Points and Results Threats due initially to the doubling in size of HCC GPU WUs and subsequently the current exhaustion.

The Validators have finally started to work on my pages & pages of pending, so it may take them a little more than 52 days wink

Plus my main I7 is still receiving quite a few GPU repair jobs (the other 2 are out, but my main has enough to keep it going for another 4 or so hours), so that'll help a little.. (A good few more just came through, probably 6 1/4 hours now).

On top of that, all systems are now running fine (touching as much wood as I can reach), so today should be my 1st completely un-interupted day of crunching (save for a MASSIVE 112 updates on the quaddie), since last Thursday biggrin

See the bolded bit, from my original post, I was being a tiny little bit sarcastic! wink

The table from jonnieb-uk has them catching up with us in 18.986 days, at current rate of work! biggrin
