SETI@home - 2005-07-22 23:36:51 - Deferring communication with project for 10 minutes and 6 seconds
--- - 2005-07-22 23:46:58 - May run out of work in 2.00 days; requesting more
SETI@home - 2005-07-22 23:46:58 - Requesting 81882 seconds of work


my P4 is running out of Work, but when i look here

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_status.html

no wonder only 29 Units are ready to send

so i shut this Host down

btw

We now have the new data server online. It has 3x the capacity of the old one. Details will be appearing in Technical News. This should help clear the backlog of result uploads.

@Matt

i see nothing new at the Technical News...

only for Info

Isn't this exactly what Berkeley said would happen sometimes...they would run out of work and we should attach to other projects and crunch for them in the interim?

Server shows a whopping 60 units ready to send, that's about 3 times what it was earlier. It must be gaining on the users!

Hi
<blockquote>
July 23, 2005 - 00:15 UTC
We are looking for bottlenecks in workunit production. We may have found one. A number of processes that read and write to the upload/download storage device (eg, splitters, the data server, validators) now do so across the ethernet switch that connects our data closet machines to the SSL LAN. This 100Mbps switch may well be overloaded.
We are moving intra-closet data intensive traffic to a separate 1Gbps switch. Today we moved the data server machine and one of the machines which does both splitting and validation over to this swtich for their upload/download traffic. Where we had been seeing NFS (Network File System) errors on both of these machines before the move to the new switch, we are not seeing errors or either of them now.
</blockquote>
Looks better now.

greetz Mike

Thanks for the news Mike, I missed that one.

And they are getting serious @ 07:30 they have 8477 units ready.

Message 141378 - Posted: 23 Jul 2005, 12:20:51 UTC

Over the last few days there was a lot of bits burned by the pom-pomers claiming that people should just shut up about the recent seti operations issues and run other projects because Seti cannot produce enough work units. That is, the seti community computes too fast and that there will not be enough data (at least right now from Arecibo) to keep the angry monster happy.

But then I read today's technical section and learned that the seti professional's know there is a bottleneck in wu production and are taking steps to fix it. The implication is that there is a lot of data to analyze. That is great! (And thanks to the seti-pro's for the good work and information!)

So I guess the pom-pomers (you know who you are!) really don't know stuff, are only guessing, and prefer to spread thick peanut butter over any difficult situation. I, for one, would appreciate truely objective information, and not somebody's emotives.

I guess that means you will stop putting Seti/Boinc in a negative daylight at every opportunity you get? Or flame bait? Can you even post posts around here without some kind of flame bait embedded in them? If not, please seek out the correct threads in the Cafe.

I'm not sure I follow you. What does the bottleneck in WU production have to do with the amount of data there is to process? I believe people were saying it's a theoretical possibility of over reaching the output capacity of Arecibo given enough users. Not that it was imminent. But if you feel the technical news is some sort of vindication, then have fun with it! :)

And before you start saying who knows or doesn't know what, wasn't it David Anderson who foresaw the possibility of Seti running dry at times? I don't know how much more legitimate you can get than the project head...

Besides, Seti has a few tricks up it's sleeve. Such as planning to process data from other telescopes, as well as the Astropulse project.

And doubling the sensitivity of the search which takes more time/wu.
