Folding with Tesla K20C

[jaysenw]

So I increased the air flow around the Telsa, and it now operates at about 80 - 90 degrees celsius. It folds like a demon, doing a work unit in just over an hour. It ran well for 5 days folding away.

NOW I have a different problem. Making no changes to the program, setup or environment, I now receive a "Exception: Could not get an assignment" error. Looking on the forums I found some obscure reference to a damaged/non functioning gpus.txt file so I uninstalled FAH (removed the directories and reg entries) and reinstalled. I still get the same error.

As a reference point, I also have a Radeon 5700 (Juniper) that is working in the same system, no work server errors or such. I have included the log below. Does anyone know what this could be? Starting to get frustrated with the whole folding thing. It's like I have to check in on the folding every couple hours to ensure it's working right....

Thanks in advance for everyone's expert help with this...

Please see the News blog post about the servers being offline for maintenance yesterday, and the dozen or so new forum topics on the same subject.

[jaysenw]

Will do. Thanks. Are the servers still offline?

[PantherX]

There are reports that WUs for FahCore_11 aren't being assigned but other FahCores are working fine. Assuming that it is a Server or Networking issue at Stanford side, they will hopefully be resolved by today.

[jaysenw]

Thanks Pantherx. For some reason the gpu assignment server gives my radeon card a new work unit and several other cards on other computers on my network, but just not this tesla t10. Weird. Thanks for everyone's help!

[Joe_H]

Both work servers for Core_11 GPU projects are still listed as down on the Server Status page as I write this post. But it is not yet 9 AM at Stanford, so their work day is just starting. The last blog post from Monday did say there were a number of minor networking issues remaining after the move, this is probably one of them.

[PantherX]

Please note that work is underway to ensure that the Server will be back online (viewtopic.php?f=18&t=24819&p=248077#p248077).

Classic core_78 stuff also seems to be out of commission for the time being. See http://fah-web.stanford.edu/pybeta/logs ... 2.log.html for example. I'm getting core_15 work for GPUs, though, and it gets credited too: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/mai ... e=Zotac430

As you might imagine, assigning/accepting core_11 & core_78 WUs is hardly top priority for PG right now - http://folding.typepad.com/news/2013/08 ... ore78.html

Getting ALL of the servers back online IS currently the top priority.
