Well, I just downloaded four and uploaded all that I had ready to report.

[Edit]: Oooh! I just noticed I even got some for my GPU.

...

And the title msg is still there, so no changes there.



Not really surprising because it's Midnight in Berkeley. So probably nobody at the Lab. I believe
this Message will be vanish in about 8 Hours. ;-)

ya know, everybody has a certain amount of pride that might not let them admit when their wrong.. But you did jump on me and accuse me of something I didn't do.. Least you could say would be "Sorry" or even a simple "my mistake".


Your statement was,
I just hope they can do it remotely because nobody will come in to work on the weekend. Especially a holiday weekend.

You didn't imply noone would come in on a weekend, you stated it. And then you get all out of shape because i took issue with such a ridiculous statement? You did it (see your very words above), so there's nothing to apologise for.

If American Independence day holidays are any thing like English Bank holidays .

If they fall at the weekend we would have Monday in loo of Sunday. (Double time payments for Bank Holidays or for the love of it)

Which means it could be Tuesday before they get back in. Just in time for the weekly outage.

Happy 4th of July to all.

Well, another day w/o any GPU work just because CPU have good cache of work...
This per host limit starts to really annoy me. It's plain stupid to leave one computing device idle only because another one has enough work to do.
There are some workarounds exist of course (as usual with any artifical limitations), seems time to check them.

Same here Raistmer.
Main rig with 4 GPU's idle because 4 CPU cores working through 50 VLAR's.
It has been working it's way through about 1500 of them.
Could have used VLAR_KILL but decided that they would have to be done my someone.
As a consequence cold GPU's.
I wonder how long it will be before a VLAR storm hits and lots of rigs suffer the same fate.

256 VLAR's will take some time to get through.
Takes my AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Quad 2 hrs each.4 at a time so does about 50 per day.

True, i have 2 other rigs one has a decent cache left but the other is on 20 task limit we just have to hope it will all balance out and that this is just a temporary measure to ease server load amongst other things.

wanted to only focus on seti but seems i need to find other projects that are nice to use

atm yust got gpu task from seti

Like I already mentioned in one of the other threads..

MilkyWay@home have a limit of 12 tasks in progress.
If BOINC ask for more, BOINC get:

Message from server: No work sent
Message from server: (reached limit of 12 tasks in progress)


Because of the SETI@home server say not the max limit, I guess something is wrong here.


I believe the Milkyway Limit is 6 Tasks per Core

Got 11 WUs 15 minutes ago to go with the remaining 50 of the 78 given before the outage. So I'm Fine for the Time Being.

The SETI app Data says
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/host_app_versions.php?hostid=5178843

My Guess is this new limit Includes everything (In Progress/Valid/Pending/Errored) hopefully I'll be able to get a few more when all this gets written to the database.


It could be correct, 6 WUs/CPU-Core, but I don't know, because MilkyWay is only a secondary project of me and I have not much knowledge about.

I have there an Intel Core2 Duo E7600 @ 2x 3.06 GHz with OCed GTX260-216.
If CPU & GPU enabled in the preferences, BOINC get only max 12 GPU WUs.
After every UL/report of a result, a new GPU WU DLed. Again 12 WUs in BOINC.


Now here at SETI@home, I don't know.. BOINC got only 2 GPU WUs after the 3 day maintenance. Not more, although every ~ 10 mins UL/report of a result.


I have set 10 days (for to bridge planned and unplanned outages/maintenances).
BOINC is now down to 6 days or something (because of no new WUs DLed).
Current 150 CPU & 849 GPU WUs in BOINC. BOINC ask for new work but get:
Message from server: No work sent
Message from server: This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress


If the WU cache is down to zero and BOINC get only 20 WUs/host in progress..
How it should go with the ReSchedule tool? :-|
CUDA VLARkill app usage? -> damaged quota - backlog (counter) in BOINC -> no request of new work -> idle. :-|


The people which could DL, how big you set your WU caches?
And how much (days & WUs) you have in your BOINC?

Well I may get kicked out but I sent David Anderson an email to let him know how I feel and that I was asked to come back after quitting awhile back and so being asked to come back, unlike some here I do feel I am owed an explanation!

None of my computers get any new work in the past 5 days.
Several are out of work already.
Its broke, no doubt.

My top producing rig is about to run out of Cuda work now....
Got about 37 VLAR left on the CPU, so another Cuda card sucking wind.

And the really cute part is in addition to the 37 VLAR that rescheduler counts, I have about 34 AP WU's at about 7 hours each in the cache as well.

So, unless things get fixed here soon, that Cuda is gonna be sucking wind for a long time.

the above rig only has ten tasks in the queue and is getting the "limit" message. boinc will not even keep the cpu's fed, i have to use reschedule to do it.

if the above rig runs dry, i'm calling it quits! Vyper can have the #1 spot, grrr...

I bet VW Bobier isn't real happy either after spending all that money he didn't really have on GTX 295's and now no work to see them go....We should have been warned and this is TOTAL UNPROFESSIONALISM at work.

Sad that DAVID ANDERSON cares so little for Seti, guess this is his way to try and force people into his other projects...Won't work, it is seti or all my machines will sit waiting....

I checked the cricket graphs, and the pattern is very different than it has been. It seems very binary in its nature, without much work being transfered.
