I hope they can sort this Scheduler out soon. With all the shorties in the system, and the inabilty to get work on more than 1 attempt in 20, i'm going to run out of work very quickly when almost everything that does get downloaded will be done in minutes.

Scheduler cannot do nothing without bandwidth to send and receive.
This needs to be addressed before you folks complain about much more.

Over and out.

That would be so, if the problem is bandwidth related (i've posted a work around in the Wish list about that, if it is the case).
However in the past when there have been just as many shorties, after even longer outages, where the Scheduler has had no problems responding to requests. The sheer number of these timeouts is something that's only started over the last 4-8 weeks.

One wonders if the incredible volume
of incoming data (as shown by cricket graph)
is not a manifestation of the
infamous 'buffer bloat'. Rather than
really a need for more bandwidth.

Well I have given up with SETI@Home and am just running this Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.53GHz [Family 15 Model 3 Stepping 4](1 processors) brought for £30 at my local computer fair just to keep an RAC here so I can post.

I have had no problems at all, because I do not demand masses of WU's and it takes time to return the results. As it should be.

I seriously believe that running machines with 4-6-8-12-16 processors and multi graphics cards is more than the system can cope with! The problem is us the crunchers.

My 10 CPU's and 4 GPU's are now happily crunching for other projects.

Something is strange. I have zero issue with SetiBeta right now, but I can't report on main. As it is on the same communications link it isn't a link issue. It has to be an issue in the lab. Perhaps failed disk in an array?

Just checking that you are aware that the Cricket graphs are seen from the point of view of a mid-way router?

The green pixels are data leaving the lab, coming in to the router, and proceeding on its way out to us, the crunchers. That is, our downloads.

The blue line is data leaving the router, in the direction of the SSL lab on the hill. That is, our uploads.

I don't think there's an 'incredible volume of incoming data'.

I managed to report 380+ units 25 at a time with NNT set, it just took a while.

I've got several thousand to report, and I've been trying 50 at a time, with very little luck.
