This Week in MLC@Home Notes for Aug 31 2020
A weekly summary of news and notes for MLC@Home
The major news this week is that we tweaked the priority a little bit, which allowed a lot of progress on the simpler workunits, and as you'll notice 6 of the 10 network types in Datasets 1 and 2 have reached their goal of 10000 samples! This is a big milestone for the project, and is getting us closer to releasing the first official dataset from this effort.
News:
Project status snapshot:

News:
- A slightly misconfigured priority setting was causing the server to favor sending out EightBit* and Parity* WUs over other WUs. This lead to some users experiencing a backlog of "validation pending" . That issue was identified and fixed this week, which lead to a nice bump in granted (vs pending) credit, and and a nice jump in the completion numbers for the other machines. Note that the Parity and EightBit work is still needed, it just was going to take longer to reflect in the stats.
First Dataset 3 WUs rolling out later tonight or tomorrow. It's taken a bit longer than planned due to time constraints outside of this project.
MLDS v9.5x clients have stabilized, especially on windows. Lots of time this week spend investigating why older AMD and Intel machines had issues on Linux, which turned out to be related PyTorch v1.6 using MKL-DNN (now oneAPI) and hardcoding sse4 as a minimum requirement. Updated clients due within a day or so that fix that problem.
We'll do an official release of a preliminary dataset once we have 1000 examples of each machine type, and we're getting closer!
New server is still in the works.
