It also wouldn't hurt to increase your cache from 5 days to 10 days.
...

I would like to do it.. but it wasn't possible.


I had 10 day cache on the HDD for two GPUs.

Then I insert the last two GPUs.. (4 GPUs) -> 5 day cache. [for ~ one month]

The preferences not changed.. -> 10 day cache.

But.. the max. was 5 days down to 2 or 1 day.. filled up again to max. 5 days.. and again down to 2 or 1 day.. then again up to 5 days.. but now down to 0 days.

All the time I had 5 days cache.. Berkeley had server probs and the cache gone down..

I guess the PC have too much performance for SETI@home.. ;-)

Yes of course I will be patiently.. I'm a SETI@home member and learned this characteristic.. ;-)

The good news is that the bandwidth hasn't maxed out at all after this outage . . . :)

You can switch it on right now, if you attach to another project as it has been suggested you do since the day BOINC went live.

No thanks.

If you looked in my account data/profile.. I'm 100 % SETIan.. no other BOINC project.

So?

Consider crunching for SETI BETA. They have a slightly different mix of servers, and they aren't necessarily down when SETI "main" is down.

That's a good one! LOL

The bad news is . . .

By now everybody should be really panicking.

Why?

The reasons listed below are obvious signs.

LHC was sabotaged to stop human progress.
Boinc projects intermittently sabotaged:
. SETI WU,s to slow the search.
. NITPCKR to stop us comparing signals.
. Planetquest to stop it starting.
. CPDN so our planet cooks.
. Einstein ...
. Cosmology ..
. Milkyway ...
. Ibercivis ...
. Aqua ...
. ... All to slow progress.
And many more examples .........

Yes, the astute should have figured it all out.

Aliens really have snuck in when Aricebo was looking the other way, they have been trying to stop any and all progress towards locating their home and/or becoming equal in technology.

When our planet overheats and we're all toasted, they'll cool it down again and just take it over for themselves, no wars involved.

Think I'm nuts?

That's OK, you haven't seen me when I get home at night and in the privacy of my house slip into a more comfortable shape! [Evil chuckle]


LOL :)

and I thought it was just my cataracts playing up and fatigue when I've seen your outline wavering at 3am

So global over farming of WU’s for RAC has caused a global famine. (plus OC and op apps).

Perhaps we should be looking at capping the number of CPU’s per account.

Lowering the number of WU’s per CPU. After all it’s not just the newbie wing persons but some of the wing persons who have 700 to 1000 WU’s stored on their rigs.

With demand out stripping supply, set and forget seems to be the way forward.

Seti is looking for more computing power, not less, my friend.
They just have to get their server situation sorted...and they are working on that.

Still can't upload or download, but it's nice to see the message boards back.

plus the server status page is a few hours old as well. Any ideas what is going on, no downloads and no uploads

Panic over here, just got 20 MB tasks.

Got some myself now, so it seems to be coming back.

Why is this project so often down? They have sun servers and ten years experience - but this doesn't seem to be enough yet.

Why is this project so often down? They have sun servers and ten years experience - but this doesn't seem to be enough yet.

Because in most environments, they'd have BRAND NEW Sun servers, all of them with all kinds of excess capacity.

The Sun servers they had were mostly hand-me-downs from other organizations.

They've largely been replaced by various Intel-based servers, some white-box, some prototypes that are "retired" by the manufacturers, some sent in as gifts by various people.

They aren't the hardware that SETI@Home would have specified or bought, they're what showed up.

A well funded project would have more people. They'd have people whose only job is operating the servers.

Given short staff and very little money, they're doing exceptionally well.

I'll also point out (again) that we need to consider BOINC as a system, and that the BOINC client does not require 100% uptime at the servers. It will (in general) cache work and keep crunching. 90% uptime should be more than enough.

---

Servers back down.....I'm sure they are sorting things again.
Hopefully they will have a grip on it by the end of the day and work can start flowing again.

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

I'm not quite near panic yet. Main rig still has 200+ MBs and 2 APs on it. That ends up being about 3 days of work. Second rig has about 20 MBs and 1 AP on it. That's about 2 days. One Linux box only has 1 AP in its queue, so that's 2 days left remaining for that task. Second Linux box has quite a few MBs and at least one AP, so at least 2 days on that.

Basically I'm doing fine for the time being. In about 36 hours is when the panic will probably start setting in if new tasks don't get DLed.

Linux laptop:
record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up)

i was able to get a few MB last night but has anyone seen an new CUDA unit sent out?

Anyone noticed the new website code at play?...

Cheers,

Other than our spiffy little flags?

I am now on the 24 hour wait luckily I have WCG to do and still have one to upload sometime tomorrow.
