Message 1023323 - Posted: 7 Aug 2010, 3:29:03 UTC - in response to Message 1023322.  

Might be the right place to just mention that it appears the server-side DCF for AP and anonymous platform may finally be in place. Last week when I had WUs, they were estimated at ~26 hours (almost accurate). Starting to get some now and they are estimating 3 hours.

I know it'll work itself out eventually, but those like me who are AP-only, keep an eye on work-fetch successes..don't want to get too many and start having deadline concerns.

I've got some that are in the 26 hour range and My cpu is no slouch.

It's not a server issue- for whatever reason, your system isn't requesting any work.

There is one way it might possibly be a server problem. The preference setting to not use the CPU is sent to the core client and it stops asking for CPU work. Because there have been rare past incidents where preferences changed spontaneously it is at least worth checking.

Also, either I have some incredible luck, or the feeder ratio got adjusted. When I get a successful work request, I can get 6-8 APs at a time, all sequential WU-IDs. Even with the redlined cricket graph, I do notice that there are still periods where it is much more likely to get tasks than being told there are none (the infamous "AP spike" in the graph).

That suggests they've stopped using the -allapps Feeder argument. If so, the 100 slots would just get the next 100 available resultIDs and the mix would simply be based on which splitters were producing work when the Transitioner created those result entries. And from Scarecrow's data it looks like they may have come close to having mb_splitters and ap_splitters producing at the same times. At least it started that way, since they didn't presplit a bunch of work during the outage. Actually maintaining that kind of synchronization for the whole uptime is very unlikely IMO, though trimming the "Results ready to send" levels at which the splitters turn on and off might make a rough approximation.

The limit was increased - but not possible to DL (immediately backlogged), because the 'cricket graphs traffic' is maxed out.

Also I guess it's moments like now there's a risk of getting ghosts, so unless your a big time cruncher I think disabling network (or don't allow now tasks) would be smart :)

I am getting a strange message when I request work.

8/9/2010 7:49:07 PM SETI@home Reporting 1 completed tasks, requesting new tasks for GPU
8/9/2010 7:49:14 PM SETI@home Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
8/9/2010 7:49:14 PM SETI@home Message from server: No work sent
8/9/2010 7:49:14 PM SETI@home Message from server: No work is available for Astropulse v5

I don't have any AP apps, and none are listed in my app_info file. I know there are no more AP v5 files anyway. Anybody know why I am getting this message?

Cricket graphs look OK, Server Status Page looks OK, I remember seeing a posting about what I'm seeing, but I have no idea where. Hiamps, did you get enough to sustain the outage? I'm still a bit lean.

I know I have enough or at least BoincTasks 0.68 thinks so, A few days ago I had what looked just over 3 days left, Now? Just over 12 days and I didn't download more than 1 or 2 here and there, Go figure.

From the cricket graphs traffic, after ~ 10 hours maxed out, currently at ~ 40 Mbits/sec DL.
If someone have not enough for to bridge the 3 day outage, now it's the last chance/a well time for to DL WUs.
In ~ 4 hours the server are off.
