I wonder why when the settings are identical, one of my computers is getting a few ap units and the other one is getting none?

One is running Boinc 6.10.x and the other is running Boinc 6.12.x, to build up any sort of Astropulse cache Boinc has to ask for work frequently, Boinc 6.12.x just doesn't ask frequently enough.

If I have a bunch of systems that are headless servers (no displays or GPUs) is there any reason to not to downgrade to 6.10.x?

Okay thanks. I downgraded one one host and it actually was able to get 5 ap task downloads completed that I have been clicking retry for 3 days.

Yeah, something "spooky" is happening at whatever distance you are from Berkeley.

But, maybe it's just the act of restoring everything to defaults and clearing calculated values that got all funkified in an asynchronistic dance of data death. Without the twirling tassles... or so I've heard.

For the first time in a while I have got enough GPU WU's to last me over 24 Hrs.

Almost up to full cache and less than half are shorties.

Looks like it's now not possible to get enough work w/o manual intervention.
I didn't hit "update" button last few days - how few times was out of work with many tasks wating download and big project backoffs...

NB, after hitting update few times I get quite good download speeds. So, there is some bandwidth available, it's just a server dropping connections!
Bad network config again, apparently...

Everything's tied up pretty tight now...
Incredible shorty storm. Over 98,000 results/hour coming back to the servers as of the last status update.

Looks like I shouted to soon, now over 75% shorties on GPU's.

I got two ap units last night. So, my 6 cores are crunching Einstein, until they get fed ap's.

Possible panic looming?

I have noticed over the last hour or so multiple rigs going through scheduler request failures and backoffs when trying to report work.

Might be bad juju.

Servers, once again, DDoS-ed themselves to death, didn't they?
All I'm getting are HTTP timeouts on any kind of request and when scheduler succeeds, it's no work available.
Quack quack.

Having trouble getting a good mix of CPU and GPU WU. My one rig hasn't seen a GPU WU for well over a week. While my main cruncher has lots of GPU work, but is struggling to get enough CPU W/C. It's get's a handfull to last a few hours and then runs dry again.

No problem here. My little two-banger+one is getting a little bit greedy. I've got over three hundred in progress and it just got five more. A nice mix of CPU and GPU work to keep me busy. Just finished my last two APs though. Guess we won't get anymore of them until this shorty storm passes.

Inbound network traffic has dropped off a lot, although still high. But my uploads are all accumulating.
I'm guessing all the present inbound traffic is Scheduler requests- no uploads are going through.


Edit- inbound traffic has picked up a bit, but not back to where it was. Some uploads have gone through, but the backlog continues to grow.
