Blocking it for hours or even days with a bunch of VLARs might indeed lead to less job done at the end of the day/month/year/whatever.

bill - I'm not "blocking anything". Idle gpu, remember? My pc does vlars in 2
to 3 hours three at a time. I don't consider that a problem.

Don't know how long your GPU needs for a 0.44 WU, but idle GPU for 5 minutes (until the next request, which might give you something else than VLARs) might be indeed better solution than crunching VLARs, just do the math, you have the numbers.



So yes, an idle GPU for a while might be better unless the servers would send just 1 VLAR in case they have nothing else and the GPU is idle.

You do realize you just contradicted yourself? Reread your last line.

What's wrong with that line? If the servers were able to react like that, we could consider doing that in case of "VLAR storm" which could keep the GPU idle for several hours. I was not talking about filling up the GPU cache with VLARs.



I don't care how others run their pc, so long as they are not aborting work
that does not does not cause errors. Just because it takes longer is not an excuse to off load work units onto other people. That's cherry picking.

Other people might be very happy to get those WUs, my AMD CPUs love VLARs for example. But since the project won't be sending any VLARs to GPUs anymore, at least not on purpose, we don't need to worry about much cherry picking.

Anyone else having trouble reporting ?
Uploads are going through ok but Scheduler requests are timing out.

T.A.


I'm gettin only GPU tasks since a few days.
So the i7-2600 CPU is idle so less heat.
Reporting seems to be no problem.

But Down- and Upload speed is acceptable, seen it far worse.

I've been getting a lot of "No tasks sent" messages lately, and haven't been able to get any work for about an hour and a half.

I believe a shorty storm may be keeping the feeder rather dry.
Lots of other comments about not getting work lately.

Last night (22Aug2012) I reported an AP and got 10 MB shorties.
Shortly after midnight PDT (0730 UTC) today I got 30 more of them.
Just reported 6 MB shorties and got 2 mid-range MBs back.
No time-outs or failed scheduler requests in my event log.
Things might be settling down.

Seems like our wingmens take few days off, normaly Pendings/Validated = 2x, to much pendings = to low RAC!. Now = 12282WU wonder to see when the number stop growing.


Yeah, I'm actually starting to realize what you meant about pendings piling up. I've never had so many, but then again, judging by the ones that have validated it looks like they're mostly going to be shorties. But still, a ton of pending WU's....holy moly!

I don't think we need the 200 posts limit since the forum software finally arrived in 21st century and is splitting the thread to pages. Don't see any issues so far and I'm also only on UMTS, usually down to 64kbit/s.

What to do, what to do? :-)

go to your "community preferences" and set the maximum number of posts per page to something manageable on your machine.

Ok, I think I will have to stop using my Swedish, and/or English type of humour. Seems as if only English people and Nordic people get it.

Be serious Sten-Arne, be very very serious.

Now you see what i say, is not just about RAC is about the big pendings number (still have more than 11K). All the new work done have the target of Oct so may of the wingmens must still off dutty.

Sorry if post is semi OT. If anyone doesn't get enough tasks due server problems/slow downloads, LHC@home has over 400k units waiting.

Seems as if only people from England (Great Britain), and Nordic people get it.


If you call Swiss people Nordic people, I agree! If you don't, please add Swiss people or just Switzerland!

Please go on like this, Sten-Arne!

All my scheduler requests since the project came back up are ending with HTTP Internal server errors. I'm at 6.12.34 with the max tasks option in cc_config. Looks like there's something amiss server-side.

Similar problems, although a couple got through on NNT. Task page is very sluggish, sometimes times out. Still running without replica.

Edit: and they are splitting astropulse. Want to reach out and grab!

You're lucky just connecting with the servers but the cricket graph is dropping out as we speak.

Cheers.

Update: 4 hours later and no change. Cricket's dropping as mentioned. And there doesn't appear to have been a stats dump today.
