Not really a good problem as when the servers drop like flies NO work gets done. Perhaps the sudden increase causes it to even out in the long run, but right now there is probably less work getting done.
If we now have twice the number of folders working as we had a week ago, then the only solution is twice the servers (can't happen over night). Just like the response world wide to the virus, without accurate beginning data (China) then all plans based on that data are flawed. GIGO. Garbage In Garbage Out is the old expression.
Kinda reminds me of when they upped our teletype machines from 60 wpm to 120 wpm. The old parts worked good at 60, but had to work differently at 120. Never knew when you walked into the teletype room whether a machine would start throwing parts at you or not.
So everyone just needs to stay cool and allow things to smooth out, as they will. May be slower than what we would like, but unless your Johnny on the spot you don't know the problems happening.
P.S. Forgot to say, teletype machines down time doubled, but we had spare machines to plug into their slots and activate with patch cords.
I'm folding because Dec 2005 I had radical prostate surgery.
Lost brother to spinal cancer, brother-in-law to prostate cancer.
Several 1st cousins lost and a few who have survived.
I tell 'ya, it's not a very good look to have all these newcomers come in, and the first thing they experience is that the servers can't handle the load. For those of us who have been doing this for a very long time and understand the history and how this all works, it's not a big deal, we get it, but this is just going to drive new people away.

True, but that shouldn't stop the admins from doing their best to fix whatever they can. ..
Nobody wants to drive anybody away, but whoever is still here when the problems are resolved will still be able to work on the unsolved Science.
At the server level, they've put out a call to folks who got biochem degrees over past years and I'm seeing some old familiar names of people who are now doing FAH like they did as a Grad Student. There are a lot of dedicated people working behind the scenes.
Absolutely, it's just that while I appreciate and admire Nvidia and Intel's intent, it is unfortunate that they didn't reach out beforehand and factor the repercussions of their calls to arms. Although on the other hand, the fact that so many people hopped on that we ran out of WUs is awesome!
Like so many, I'm new and often in the logs I see no WU's available. Totally understandable given the overwhelming addition of new folders.
I did want to post this though, as it is not just a WU unavailable log:

Could just be the work servers are inundated with WU requests and that causes the HTTP service to hiccup. But wanted to share.
You guys act like work units spawn magically out of some piece of hardware just because it's turned on. It's the PEOPLE involved that make these work units.

Well yes, but it’s both things. Having the WU supply devoured is actually cool in a way, just because it’s an unprecedented level of activity. On the other hand, the servers *are* overwhelmed, so it would have been nice to get some support from the big guns in that space.

Lets hope, i cant say much but discussions are taking place.....
Funny fact is that some donors like Default (Team 0) and CoreWeave doesn't seem to have any problems at all getting new WUs while others sometimes wait for hours to get one.
Its frustrating for everyone but at least its a good problem to have
