And why is there a difference limit between before the outrage and after the outrage? ID: 17575 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Could the addition of the Gpu portion on the server be taking resources away from the current setup? Daily quota is 5k, wasn't it up to 8k after gpu support was added? Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. ID: 17577 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Purely from a wu time of completion exercise I'd max out in the high 70,000's. ID: 17580 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I tried and tried and tried, but my GPU machine was refused units. I walked across the room to my i7 and turned MW back on and it magically was given a bunch of units. I doubt the 5 seconds it took me to walk suddenly produced a bunch of units, so something else is going on on the backend. ID: 17594 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The limit you are seeing is the physical limit of the machine we use I believe. I'm not sure why it has changed after the outage, perhaps the database inconsistency slowed things up.

I'm not sure why it has changed after the outage, perhaps the database inconsistency slowed things up. Is it a MySQL? This can be. We have had strange effects as well after a database-crash. As well, it's never wrong to do an occasional "optimize table ..." (we do it every night by a cronjob since then). Regards, Lothar ID: 17970 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

See, you'd never admit to it because then you couldn't have "plausible deniability". ;-) ID: 17974 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

So I guess that means I can still break technology with just a single positive thought :) ID: 18072 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
