Just checked the servers and and see no MB work lots of AP . Tried to get me some but no luck, got two lousy 4 minute GPUs that took one 5 minutes of button abuse to get and the other one refused to download.

Keep it to yourself though, dont want everybody overloading it!

Too late ;-)
Many thanks, this proxy does ATM work for me as well.

Well, I don't know where that leaves my top rig.......
4 GPUs (2 GTX295s), and it has 1335 GPU tasks left, 863 of which are VHAR, which it tosses back at the rate of 4 about every 30 seconds.

You're way below 1600 and if you keep getting limit message it indicates that the number of GPU cores is not in the mix. Let us see what'll happen when it gets below 800... Maybe it is 400 per card?

Dunno.......
Lesse....400 per card, 2 GPUs per card, 2 minutes per WU.....
That would be a cache of what, 6.67 hours?

I don't think it's even going to be as good as 400 per card...

My triple 460 machine has been pegging against the 400 limit for the past couple hours. Report 10, get 10. Report 20, get 20. Rinse and repeat. It looks like the limits in place this time are per processor type (CPU/GPU), per host. 50 for CPU, 400 per GPU. Unlike the old limits that were in place during the days of the 3 day outages, which IIRC, were 40 per CPU core, and 320 per GPU core.

With the current shorty storm, my triple machine's 400 WU cache is just under 4 hours of work.

Ugh.

Apparently not 400 per card........
Last night I had 1335 WUs for the GPUs on my top rig, of which 863 were VHAR.
This morning, I have 677 left, of which 328 are VHAR.

And still banging it's head against the 'in process' limit.

Meowwwarrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..........

And it appears the splitters are slowing down even more...
I suspect we shall be observing some chinks in the Cricket graph shortly.

Need some more assimilator power online to deal with the shorty influx.

Yeah and this 4 wu limit is getting to be a real drag on My 4 gpu pc(2 GTX295 cards, It's capable of holding 3)...

I keep getting pestered to do AP v505 too...

It's not a 4 WU limit....
It appears to be 400 per host with a GPU (for the GPU cache).
Your DCF has probably gone so low that you are only requesting 1 task per GPU.

See the 'cannot get any cache built up' thread.

You might try my suggestion of slowing your GPUs way down for a bit and see if the work requests don't pick up again.

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

OK....
Just WHAT is the limit on tasks in progress right now?
My top rig is getting mighty low on cache.

Meowgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I haven't changed anything on my three speedier computers with GPUs running Lunatics since this whole thing started. Two 460s and a 560Ti (2 WUs simultaneously on each) ran completely out of GPU work.

Now all three of them are maintaining a cache of work between 230-235 WUs, total. It might not mean anything, but since the caches are grouped so tightly together, it might. (we may have accidentally stumbled into one of those "math tricks" where you add a magic number to any number and divide by another given number... and the result is you'll always get your birthday)

These three computers are "about" equally quick with a GPU work unit.

The fourth machine (P4 with GT 240) -- which is substantially slower with a GPU work unit -- had a nice big cache, but that cache is now 330-ish and falling. It will be interesting to see if it, too, gets into that 230 range and begins to hold.

I hope I don't get the chance to observe that, but if all four fall to that 230 WU cache level, then I would be comfortable guessing that the formula (intentional or not) is resulting in a max cache of about 230 WUs. If it falls through the 230-cache level, I'll feel comfortable guessing that the formula is yielding a really short "time restriction."

It will take another couple of days for me to think I can glean anything from what I'm seeing at this altitude (not getting into each computer's individual DCFs, etc). But I continue to leave my computers alone so that there is a chance I can observe something. I hesitate to get into trying to straighten this out by hand for fear that I'll defeat(or fight)the servers' attempts to compensate and just make long-term matters worse. I just don't understand the problem well enough to think I can fix it.

well, as a non gpu user I might be not have a high tasks in progress limit, but when on both machines I get a max. of 25 tasks per core and they are all shorties which take about 35 to 40 minutes to complete I wonder how this will help te network problems as reported by Jeff yesterday.

Every time my machines contact berkeley ( every 5 min. to fetch work ) I report 1 and get 1 WU. This couldn't be helpful to the load on the servers...

Well, all to do is wait and see what comes...

---

I'm still having problems to upload/report/download WU's. The problems are like in august.

Lil' ol' mini cruncher Sparky has reached a limit on tasks in progress, sayeth the messages/event log. Humbug :).

Looks like the router needs reloading again. I managed to get some uploaded by using Hotspot Shield, but it is blind to all my machines without that.

Same symptoms as before.

At least you get messages - for some others and me the HE-router is acting like a firewall ^^

---

Just a note from the other side of the world... for some anyway.

I am now down to only one task running (GPU GRID) and can't report, upload or download from S@H.

This IS getting tiresome...............

---

I had to "no more tasks" my Seti...I had a plethora of shorties. As far as the uploads everything is going smooth for me. I saw a FB post from Seti@Home that there were issues, but everything seems to be working fine on my end. Are there still on-going issues with people have trouble with downloads and uploads?

---

Yes.

Seem to be getting tasks now but downloads are still a bit iffy. I just got a set of 18 AP tasks that are trying to download. Hadn't noticed it before but those are 8MB each. If things were flowing normally I would be getting transfers at between 30 and 40KBps but now I'm lucky to see 10MBps on most of my downloads.

Also see that the estimates for these tasks is about 31 hours.

---

It seems I have finally hit the current server side cap of 450 units.

It seems I have finally hit the current server side cap of 450 units.

Mine seems to be at 631 right now. :D All cause of the Flops setting in My seti xml file.

Of course I put Boinc back to its normal summer schedule of 6-8 hours a night, as I'm not crazy about the room being 82F on humid cloudy days.
