every holiday the servers seem to take their own vacation. And who says machines don't have feelings.... pffff on topic : agreed with previous posters, time-out reached on every attempt. |

To borrow a line from Wiggo, I'm bouncing off the limits Far too much bouncing going here now, I'm getting a sore neck. Cheers. |

I don't know if this is related to server problems or what, but my i7's tasks in progress that was at its maximum of 800 earlier today is now 699. In addition, the tasks being crunched were sent to be done by the stock applications, so the servers won't yet be applying the run times to anonymous platform averages. Without flops in app_info.xml the core client will be using the ~3.34e09 Whetstone value as <flops> for CPU work, and ~1.8e09 (0.54*Whetstones) as <flops> for GPU. The CPU value is low by a factor of 6 or more, the GPU value is low by about a factor of 48 (rough estimates based on APRs for stock). DCF will have been driven down so the estimated run times are not longer by that much, in fact CPU tasks are likely to have short estimates. But the GPU task estimates will still be long, hence the high priority processing. Joe |

I don't know if this is related to server problems or what, but my i7's tasks in progress that was at its maximum of 800 earlier today is now 699. I suspected something like that. However, it has downloaded new work for both CPU and GPU under Anonymous Platform. (Hasn't returned any of it yet; still working on the previous stuff, but returning it in a day instead of the usual 5-6 days.) In addition, the tasks being crunched were sent to be done by the stock applications, so the servers won't yet be applying the run times to anonymous platform averages. I suspected that too. (The basics; my eyes glazed over on the details.) Tasks in progress is currently sitting at 659. Oddly, it hasn't made contact in almost 4 hours. I'll have to remote in and see what's up when I switch to my work laptop (right now I can't because I'm on my work desktop and IE crashes when I use logmein on it).

My whole project is acting a bit weird. Scheduler timeouts, downloads that won't move but suddenly scream through the pipes (100kbs on occasion). +1 Kevin |

My whole project is acting a bit weird. Scheduler timeouts, downloads that won't move but suddenly scream through the pipes (100kbs on occasion). +2 If I press [ No New Tasks ] then [ Update ] I can report completed tasks, otherwise things fails all the time. Asking for WUs seems to work more often if tasks are not also being reported. Using <report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately> seems to help things along. |

Something significantly changed Friday afternoon PDT. Suddenly it became almost impossible to get downloads to complete, and when they did the 'speed' was unusually high. Seems somebody made an 'inprovement' that has caused my machines to starve - I repeatedly have downloads ALWAYS time out, no matter how many times I re-try. I leave it for a day, re-try and they all finish in record time. Then the next batch I get are stuck all over again. Cripes! |

Yeah, something got whacked after that last outage. My top rig had about 10 downloads that took almost an hour of retrying, and then they all screamed through. Now it has about 30 downloads that again will not budge an inch. And when I checked it this morning, it had gotten so many failed scheduler requests that the whole project was backed off for a couple of hours. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

We've been pegged at our bandwidth limit since we fixed the problem on friday. Been pegged for most of last year & all of this year. No problem with downloads here (other than after the outage but before Eric tweaked things downloads would timeout as soon as they started). But still getting heaps of Scheduler request timeouts.

Yeah, something got whacked after that last outage. Normally reporting and such would failed pretty quickly. Looking over the logs from the weekend. It looks like they all timed out on the client side at 5 minutes. I'm not sure if that is the indented effect, but if they are/were just dropping the connection on the server side I would have thought the client would have seen it occur.

The outage seemed pretty quick, so I'll panic about that :) Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. |

I had better post something before 24hrs is up, or Sten will have nothing to panic about. But there was a nasty little noch in the cricket graph earlier today that nobody else bothered to mention. I wunderz why :¬) |

11/04/2012 22:09:58 | SETI@home | update requested by user Nope, it just means the project is shut down for maintenance, later when every host under the sun is trying to reach the scheduler, then you might get failures, Claggy |

Saw this in my message log and laughed. 2012-04-11 18:57:16|SETI@home|Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Requesting 1 seconds of work, reporting 1 completed tasks It is inevitable that there would be a 1-second work request, but I never thought I would see it. Lowest I've seen before that was 12 seconds. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |
