    I now have the Folding in the Dark Chrome extension running against that Linux box with the Quadros. I stopped folding on a Windows computer, then from the Windows computer, I ssh into the Linux box with some port forwarding configured. When the Windows computer tries to access the local folding web client, it is really connecting to the Linux box via ssh. It looks like this will work, so I'll see if it gets the lars database reporting some Linux work for these cards.

    From my understanding, you have to run the Folding in the Dark Chrome extension to upload stats to lars. As far as I can tell, this will only work on the local computer--not remote computers. The linux system with the quadro cards is headless with command line only, so I wouldn't be able to run the Chrome extension. I guess, if I need to force some stats for Linux into lars so I can use one of these cards, I might be able to do some dns shenanigans to map https://client.foldingathome.org/ to the linux box. Though, that sounds like too much effort If you know any different, let me know.

    I didn't have any hardware I could commit to being up for a full month. I have some quadro cards available now. As long as they qualify... They are running in Linux, but the Lars database only has stats for Windows. @BWG would these cards qualify? p620 and p400 in Linux

    What's the status of the ETF teams? Anyone needing a new team member? Any new teams in the works?

    I ended up adding a few more cloud GPUs as I found some with better price/ppd ratio. Peaked at 87 million ppd for a few hours! I'm sure you'll reclaim the crown next month, though. This was fun. The team got a lot of work done over those 2 days!! Good job everyone!

    I think 1.000 watts is a crazy European way of saying 1,000 watts (1kw).

    He said 1 kilowatt...not 1 watt

    Attached are details from the cloud gpu systems I'm using right now (I stopped one from the earlier screenshot as the ppd dropped quite a bit for some reason). The results are of running `nvidia-smi -q`. I added some rough specs on the system and the ppd I'm seeing to the top of the file. Some of the systems I only get access to some of the cores and ram, not the full capability. gpu-rtx2080TI-1.stats.txt gpu-rtx2080TI-2.stats.txt gpu-rtx3080.stats.txt gpu-rtx3090.stats.txt

    Sorry, it's been a busy day. I was going to post a follow-up to that image with more details. All of the 2080TI and higher cards are actually cloud GPUs that I'm renting...some with free credit...some I'm paying for. All are running in Linux and most are running in a docker container. If you are curious about clock speeds vs ppd on the cards or anything, I can try to look up the specs (nvidia-smi) while I'm still renting the systems. I do hope to get a 3080 for myself to fold on if I can ever find one for non-scalper prices

    I'll post when I'm back at a computer later today.

    They had server outages recently with servers that assign the CPU work units. Any lack of work or slow downloads may be related to the server issues.

    I fired up my mom's RTX 3080!
  14. firedfly
    @axipher I wanted to verify what time the competition starts. The countdown links are for a day later than you indicated. (Wed. May 26 9PM EDT vs Thurs May 27 9pm EDT). Is the competition starting in ~13 hours or ~37 hours?

    Thanks! I used to fold for [H] back in the day and recently started folding again. The folding forum at [H] is rather dead these days. So, here I am!
