Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
This was our understanding as well. We're going to look into it though since plext0r recommended to do so. Our understanding was that BOINC would not work for our use-case. We're doing deep learning on video streams from cities, so the distributed network is valuable to reduce the latency and...
That's pretty interesting. We weren't aware of the potential to pass the entire GPU through VirtualBox. We're going to look at that now. Still interested in learning if more people have extra machines lying around for this use case, but thanks for pointing us that way.
We are asking for dedicated machines because of the need to boot into Linux, which is best for passing the GPU into a virtual machine via KVM. You are correct, other VM software make it very difficult to pass the GPU into the virtual machine. Windows 10 could make this possible in hyper-v, but...
These are all great questions. I'm just trying to get a gauge if people have spare hardware lying around for the purposes of the project. Any graphics card from the last 3-4 years will work. Before we get into the details of how much we need to compensate people and budget that from our...
Hey, I work in the computer science department at the University of Pennsylvania. We’re doing deep learning research, and we’re looking to access unused hardware for our technology. We’ve developed software that could be installed on a distributed network of dedicated host machines that would...
