From empty yesterday on both machines, I currently have about 400 units on each after I re-enabled the proxy server. I really, really believe that if we knew WHY, we'd know something. Maybe we'd know WHY. |

During the maintenance outage I noticed all of my "suck" downloads completed are great speed. I was seeing 800k on several. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

I've noticed that when connected direct, if you can get units, the download speed is quite good, up to 25KBps +, even though the proxy is still faster, these speeds are the fastest I've ever had direct from the project in 5 years. I wonder if this means that despite what the Cricket graphs tell us, the actual network loading is not "super saturated" like it is when normally coming back from an outage, just "busy". This, combined with the great difficulty getting work allocated (usually only one or two units at a time) means we could be looking at a Scheduler problem rather than a network overload. All the scheduling processes are located on "bane". I wonder if this server is really being the "bane" of our lives ? T.A. |

IIRC we are subject to the C10K problem. Maybe with the updates Matt was talking about this will no longer be an issue? As some software is not subject to this problem.

Is there anybody Home? Looks like something is broken again! Can't report what work units I have completed. Not that it is slowing my decline in RAC by much. |

I just managed to report a few, (28) but it took almost three minutes to complete. Also looks like the Cricket graphs are way down. Not completely dead but struggling. PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

I was getting only the front page for a while there. All other pages were reporting the project as down for maintenance. That was soon after 00:00 GMT, IIRC. Just now I was able to report 90 completed tasks. No problems. Lt |

It looks as though the upload server has just gone off for a break. Also the backup server is reporting that its about 8hours behind the master, so things aren't too happy in the server room. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

It looks as though the upload server has just gone off for a break. Yep. Once again i'm buried under uploads that won't. Grant Darwin NT |

Let's not moan to hard all at once... Things have been picking up for the good for a while now. The boys in the lab will probably just jumpstart the rigs again when they get in in the morning and all will be well If they would just find a way to stop the "shortie"-storm I'd be a very happy cruncher ;-) |

It looks as though the upload server has just gone off for a break. It's 38 degrees F in Berkeley. Someone open a window. No, I didn't mean they should jump. |

Is it about 4 C? So cold in CA? I'm shocked! |

Wish I had such luck.... Guess it's your BOINC 6.12.* that sucks... I stayed with 6.10.60 on my PCs, except when I started my old PC again I installed the new version thinking, it can't be that bad. But I ran out of work more than once and decided to go back to 6.10.60, and within a day or so I had a full cache and it have stayed that way. So my question is, will the BOINC team fix that clear problem in future versions ? |

Clyde, If you set the resource share to zero, you only pick up work for that project when your main project is out of work. When that zero project has work it will run them until it finishes all of them it has downloaded and then if your main project has work it will start back on it. It shouldn't load so much of your backup project as to run into any problem with deadlines. PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

Clyde, Awhile back, when I was running a couple of share 0 projects against SETI, to avoid unused cycles when SETI was bad, IIRC it D/L WUs for those projects 1 at a time per CPU/GPU so as to not build up a queue. Does BOINC still have the same behavior? |

Clyde, That's the way it's been working....and probably will continue to at the rate the rig is (or is not) getting Seti work. When 1 GPU goes idle, it downloads a batch of Einstein tasks, about 10-20, not sure exactly. It then finishes the Seti work on the remaining 3 GPUs and works on the batch of Einstein tasks until they have finished. If there is Seti work that has been downloaded in the interim, Einstein does not request new work and goes back to the Seti tasks when the Einstein is done and will stay on them until a GPU goes dry again.
