Well it seems they are working on it, Mr Pande's blog has finally acknowlegeded the issue and said

May 21, 2009
Issues with GPU AS migration
We have had some issues with the GPU assignment server (AS) migration to new hardware. Several issues have been resolved, including

- issues with ATI GPU client work assignments
- some work servers without work

But there are two remaining issues which we have filed tickets with Stanford IT, including
- port 80 forwarding for the GPU AS
- allowing assignments to 171.64.122.70

Of these remaining issues, the port 80 issue is a big issue for those who have port 8080 blocked and we've been pushing IT to get this resolved ASAP. The second issue (going to 171.64.122.70) is less time critical (that server can still receive completed WUs from clients), but we would like to get more GPU work servers on line in general.

EDIT: can't send or receive again!

Lucky the weather is warm else my room would be freezing! At this rate i may have to think about playing some games (!) to prevent the poor GPU from freezing over...

Down again for me, oh well Stalker time

I can enjoy some gaming now my card is idle again - haven't played on-line for ages

vertica · 21 May 2009 at 22:13

The yoyo is up again

Happy · 21 May 2009 at 22:17

Can you easily try to force and update? My client won't try again for another 40+ minutes according to the log.

pmilkman · 21 May 2009 at 22:32

One of my cards got a WU a few mins ago.

Biffa · 21 May 2009 at 22:49

Just shut down the client and start it again I think

Looking at the AS and work servers, there seems to be lots of normal assigns and jobs, but we will continue to look on our side as well to see what's up.

The server migration did prove to be much messier than we originally had thought. For now, all the known issues have been resolved, but there may be something else that we haven't caught yet.

lets see what tomorrow brings then.

sir-les-mp · 22 May 2009 at 17:42

The servers are at it again one of my clients has not had a WU in over an hour

vertica · 22 May 2009 at 18:39

snap

Happy · 22 May 2009 at 19:57

Same :/

Senture · 22 May 2009 at 20:03

Still iffy. One of my GPU clients just got a WU, the others are refusing to.

sir-les-mp · 22 May 2009 at 20:32

they seem to back up and running again two of my clients have just got some new WU's

for the last 4 days (and i'm assuming today will be the same) our team ppd is down a bit due to this, but not by much compared to some.

Our graph here

Following the official forums, they really dont seem to know what is going on, or when or why. Judging by the few responses theat have been given by Pande group, i dont think they have realised how much this is affecting their work.

As a comparison take a look at folding@EVGA's ppd: down from an average of 5.25M to 3.75M yesterday, thats nearly a 30% drop in output! linky

sir-les-mp · 25 May 2009 at 02:33

Is it just me or have the GPU servers dropped again.
