WU Shortages

[Juggy]

Are we experiencing shortages again by any chance?

I have a 3070 sitting idle with "Failed to get assignment from..." all 4 assignment servers

Looks like you folks depleted all our GPU WUs! I'm astounded, to be frank.

I've added a bit more WUs to 13428-9 to firm up our statistics on COVID Moonshot Sprint 5 until we have Sprint 6 and new antibody simulations ready to go in a couple of days.

Great, thank you John.

I wonder if it is in part due to the new GPU's being quite a bit faster than the previous gen? Even though they are difficult to get hold of there must be quite a few out there Folding.

AFAICT, there are about 4 3xxx cards in the wild and maybe a couple of 6xxx cards

Seriously, a major UK online retailer for this stuff had 26 6800 cards for the launch yesterday and a couple of hundred 3060ti. Insane how limited the stocks are.

All I can say is my 6 NVidia GPU's amd 1 AMD iGPU are ready to keep processing Sprint WU's as they become available.

Hahaha, well I have 2x3070's and a 2080 Super Folding full time so I notice it WU's aren't available. My office gets colder.

Has the shortage issue been addressed? If demand greatly outweighs supply, I'm not gonna resume folding again till it's more balanced. I stopped earlier this year because my computer was literally sitting and doing nothing for majority of the time. Electricity is really expensive here...

I've just brought my 16-core 3950X CPU online tonight.... So I'll take a little bit of blame for CPU WU shortages at the moment.

found just 1 dry CPU slot... I think it was just stuck to a 130.* server for about 2 or 3 hrs. Not a stuck download tho, as it would still keep retrying per the countdown. It just wouldnt try another server until I rebooted, which grabbed a WU from a 18.*
FAH ver 7.6.13, so maybe .21 does it better, i dunno

other machines on .13 are doing fine

[JimF]

I have had to pull both of my Ryzen 3950X's (Ubuntu 18.04.5) off due to lack of CPU work in the last 24 hours.

[Jonazz]

No CPU shortages here

[JimF]

I might have better luck at the small core counts. I think they have a different pool of work units.
But those machines are on Ubuntu 20.04 for me. They need to get FAH working on that, while we are on the subject.

[kjk]

I'm out CPU work units, all four assignment servers say "No WUs available for this configuration". One cpu slot with 8-cores on fedora linux.

[autogrog]

My Ryzen 3950X is also starving for WU's.

I thought my computer was unable to get a WU as well on my simple 4 core desktop:
18:05:19:WARNING:WU00:FS00:Failed to get assignment from 'assign1.foldingathome.org:80': No WUs available for this configuration

I restarted the app, and work unit started up immediately, so I don't know if it's a coincidence that solved it, or more units were made available.

Also notice every couple days work units won't send, restart computer, and they seem to send. So I assume the problem is on my end, but just wanted to throw it out there just in case it's on Folding @ Home's end and other people are experiencing it.
