... it can do an AP in ten seconds and fifty of them at a time [/dream]

Now that thing will shure stiff the servers . . .

The normal daily jobs now already do that ;-)

Providing Berkeley BOINC with more high power CPU's is pointless if they cannot keep their network connection working properly....

Likewise I cannot justify replacing my aging farm if Berkeley cannot keep the work flowing.

No I do not do other projects and do not need a backup project so take that arguement elsewhere.

My expectations are low:

Keep a reasonable amount of work flowing on a regular basis.
Post updates when there is a breakdown.
Let the world know when we find ET.
Post my earned credits regularly and reliably.

It's not too many computers, it's a lack of circuit breakers for this room. But we can fix it :)

The biggest problem I see here is that the "information flow" to the distributors of this project is a little bit flaw.
We recognise the unscheduled outages, moaning about them, the problem is solved sooner or later but what problem was...

ATM WCG has taken over 2 of my machines , Einstein has won one (0% resource sharing with S@H).

Makes me sad but not crying for suicide :-)

So my cache is lasting just slightly longer than I thought. No idle cores yet, but that will start in about 4 hours. No more tasks "ready to start". 3.4M seconds for work requests end up with "Message from server: Project has no tasks available". Wondering what it takes to get an AP that thinks it will take months to complete.

Power7 includes 32 Mbytes in embedded DRAM in L3 cache alone. The chip also sports 590 Gbytes/second total chip bandwidth including two four-channel memory controllers per die.


IBM's Power7 packs eight cores and 32 Mbytes eDRAM on a die.

32 mega bytes - - - is that that it, huh, how are we supposed to crunch a workunit in that little space :¬)

Or does it mean click to enlarge the L3 as required, I can work with that :¬)

The cricket graph seem very weak, and I can't report anything. I wonder if this is a changeset to correct last weeks situation. I'm sure that at some point things will improve, but for now my end seems a bit dicey.

Yup, I can't do anything either. Uploads are fine, but can't reach the scheduler.

My machine can't connect to the scheduler server too.

Scheduler request failed: Couldn't connect to server

and

Who just let the dogs out?? I just got a gulp of 49 MB's!!!!

You have <flops> entries in your app_info.xml file?

How are the estimated times of the new WUs after this weekly maintenance?

wow, AP tasks "ready to send" went from ~32,000 to ~14,000 in less than an hour! which hosts are receiving tasks?..b/c i haven't gotten an AP task in days, and i know several others haven't either...

---

I just turned AP off 'cause that's all I've been running for a several days ... I'm doing my last 8 (20 hrs each on all 8 CPU's) now.

I have NO IDEA the "whys and wherefores" of getting so many this past "uptime"

I got 4 AP assigned to each of two machines but downloading them is a real problem.

I've sorta got two of them. They're stuck in download.

According to server status , it should be working just fine... ?
SETI@home server status information is also available in XML.

APs! ETA of 89:03:35 instead of ~25:30:00. Downloading is a problem though. Of the 9, 3 finished when I wasn't paying attention, the other six either go into instant-fail or time-out after several minutes.

Got them done. Now to get to crunching them and watch them drop minutes per second on the ETA and get this DCF fixed.
