I hope that they're using a stronger table this time so there won't be anymore collapsing problems. :D

Cheers.

Why is that when all 3 of mine are bouncing back off the limits again?

I have enough to last that long.

I'm able to download work. I have to jump up and down on the Retry Now button, but I'm getting work! :D

It'd be nice if the DCF problem could be sorted out. Then the server side limits could be removed. Then these system hiccups wouldn't have any effect; our caches would carry us through.

Figured out the CPU only problem, I had a 5 hour backoff on SETI Nvidia work requests.

Zeroed that out and back to requesting work for the 2 GPU's.

The question of the day: giving that SAH-assimilators were disabled probably till Monday, is there enough disk space for generating new WUs without deleting old WUs at whole week-end?

No, we will go belly up again at 12:25 CET Sunday.


That's like 24-hour time so... to me that would be after Sol is high in your sky?

Edit - better give me that in UTC.

CET is Central European Time. UTC+1. So 11:25 UTC is the prediction.

Anyones guess..

OTOH I see E@H had a similar problem and cured it be only giving out WU with a expiry duration of 7 days.. According to them this enables them to have a much smaller databse table.. Guess it must be about coffee table sized instead of s@H's banqueting table sized one:-)

The humor was very much appreciated! I took the thread down because the problem was resolved. I just un-hid it.

Any news about seti@home using part of the berkeley lab bandwitch?

With so much fast WU (2min on GPU) we still going to have problems, even with the new donated servers.

Shorter expiration durations has been discussed over the years, and I think it makes sense. It reduces the storage requirements and general hassle, and doesn't impact the bandwidth (in the steady state). One counter argument was that some folks only hook up once per week. Really? Is that still a valid counter? Look at the reduced performance the rest of us are getting, in part as a result. I think centralcommand should try to trim the expiration date as an experiment and measure the benefits. If we lose the once-per-weekers, perhaps they will find one of the other boinc projects as more suitable;(of course I hope there are only a hundred or so such folks.)

Concur completely, Mark. The thought that willing participants should be forced away solely because their computers are not "recent/state-of-the-art" is abhorant to me, and contrary to the basic premise of the BOINC infrastructure.

As one who has been in the situation of only being able to connect at random intervals I can honestly say that the short lives offered by some projects are a deterrent to participation.
