Let's hope the colo did an orderly shutdown...

Seems the incoming UC president's prediction was correct....somewhat. The power grid was 'attacked', and the net went down. Interesting.

Unscheduled Outage ââ,¬â€œ Emergency Shutdown Data Center Servers

Outage Type: UNSCHEDULED OUTAGE
Date Submitted: September 30, 2013
Outage Start/End Time: 18:15 ââ,¬â€œ TBD
Groups Impacted: campus
Equipment: Data Center Servers

Description: UPDATE 19:15 ââ,¬â€œ Power is returning to the Data Center but systems remain shutdown, temperature is slowly dropping.  Servers continue to be monitored.

Due to the campus widespread power outage the Data Center servers are experiencing extreme heat impacting central servers residing in the Data Center.  With temperatures rising over 100 degrees , all servers are gracefully being shutdown.

Services Impacted:

Calmail

Bconnected

Applications hosted on VM

All Database Systems

Telecom Gateways impacting Voice Services

BSpace

BCourses

CalPlanning

BAIRS

mmm, sounds not too bad efficiency-wise

And now I've taken my life in my hands, and opened up the Intel GPU to crunch for Einstein. Doing the cut-down tasks they issue for this hardware in ~12 minutes - that's equivalent to doing the normal GPU tasks (pack of 16) in something over three hours. My 9800GT takes about two hours, so the HD 4000 is about 60% - 65% of a 9800GT.

HWMonitor is saying that the 'GT' component of the i7 is drawing about 11W, which has taken me a tad over rated TDP - I hope the Noctua can keep up. But not an output/power ratio to be sneezed at.

Good news  ;).  yeah validating Microsoft's forward looking WDDM i found impressive.  I guess billions of dollars might help solve some problems after all...

Just to finish off - since I got the driver updates installed on Sunday afternoon, I've had no more lock-ups. I ran pure SETI for the first 24 hours - that counts as 'light duties' for a big Kepler. I restarted the 'short' GPUGrid Beta tasks - about 150 minutes full-power - yesterday evening, and they have all run without even triggering Harvey's new ' error recovery via temporary exit' code. I'll switch back to the high-stress 'long' tasks - about 10 hours - when the last Beta finishes (due within the hour).

Haha.  It'll be interesting to see how we end up making best use of mixes like that.  Some prettified regression tests will be on the agenda soon, mixing multithread & multi-GPU. I'd be very surprised if the optimal ended up being one heavyweight process per device, or single multithread processes either, but I suspect instead somewhere in between dependant on cache architectures & specific device characteristics. Working out how to model that might call for some sophisticated experimentation.

Well, that was fun - not.

1) Platform update - straightforward
2) Intel driver etc. - Win64_153117
Downloaded .exe file - it ran once, and threw an error part way through.
Removed the droppings via Programs control panel, then tried again (after reboot). The .exe file - before it got to the setup stage - declared that the operating system was not longer compatible.
Downloaded the .zip file, and ran setup from there - I think that's OK
3) NVidia driver - relatively routine, as I've done it previously. When the HDMI-connected screen goes completely black, nip downstairs and run the rest of the installation over the handy VNC link...
Got lumbered with dot net four again, and the 150 MB of updates or whatever it was (11 of them...)

Connected up a DVI cable in parallel with the HDMI, but to the Intel port. BOINC now sees that I have a 4000 HD - but only if I extend the Windows desktop as well, which is unhelpful. More work to be done on that one.

Anyway, take a peek at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=7070962 - I think that looks OK, even with OpenCL: 1.01 for NVidia, and OpenCL: 1.02 for Intel. I'll let her run for a while in normal configuration to check for crashes, then maybe open her up to some Intel work from Albert or somewhere.
