Stephen Same here. This error is presumably returned by the Scheduler (synergy), which is running, because it can't find the database server (Carolyn) due to it being down, and it may well be the masterfile itself is also located on Carolyn.

Stephen Server database is offline and also the scheduler so that is what prompts your Event Log messages.

GPUGrid leave the GPU to it's top crunching performance, that is translated in a increase of the heat generated. Unless of course your configuration make your host run slower when that happening. I'm not saying there is any problem, GPUGrid is one of the best Boinc projects IMHO, what i say is just to keep the eye on the temps and adjust your cooling settings to handle that if needed. On another topic. Besides the DB crash notice anyone has any inside on what is the expected time needed to fix the problem? ID: 90444 · Reply Quote

I stopped OC and really cranked up the fan and it still is 10c warmer than SOG. The credit it awards is ridiculous, 13,350 for 1 hr and 20 min. Oh well the science is worthwhile. Depending on which work unit it can raise temp by 10C. There's a new batch of Pablo work units that really stress the GPUs. Even with my hybrids, the temps are going higher than usual. So keep an eye on them and make sure you are able to keep them cool. ID: 90445 · Reply Quote

Yes I noticed the Pablo units work the gpu harder than the usual ilk. I also have seen the ones that Richard mentioned, the PABLO_ADAPTIVE ones that have run for 7 1/2 hours on GTX 1070 Ti. I don't think I have ever seen a GPUGrid task go longer than 4-5 hours normally. But these ones are new and pay out 351K for returning within 24 hours. In case people didn't know, GPUGrid pays out 2X for returning work within 24 hours or 1.5X for returning within 48 hours. So you are warned about the short deadlines. ID: 90446 · Reply Quote
