My 303 uploads spread across here an Beta disappeared in a flash!! None of mine asked for anything, but I realized one had a bunch of ghosts. I suspended Einstein on that one, then did another Seti update and they were resent.

Well, processing power is made available sooner to other projects. If you care about such things. |

The WEB page is reporting "Results ready to send 4,743,749" but I have over a hundred systems that only get "1/2/2013 1:24:47 PM | SETI@home | Project has no tasks available". Even if I query from the same server every 15 seconds I can not get any tasks. I never get the message that the request was too recent. Anyone have an explanation or what I need to change? |

The WEB page is reporting "Results ready to send 4,743,749" but I have over a hundred systems that only get The work requests are fulfilled by the feeder. Which only holds a few hundred at a time. It also only refills every so few seconds. Originally I think it was 100 tasks every 60 seconds, but it has been estimated that it has to be much higher and faster these days.

From a quick glance over the the above posts am I correct in assuming the situation can be summarized as follows: There are plenty of work units to send, but they are not getting sent. (For whatever reason.) Foamy is "Lord and Master". (Oh, + some Classic WUs too.) |

From a quick glance over the the above posts am I correct in assuming the situation can be summarized as follows: The situation is normal after a period of machines running down their caches. Thousands of machines all requesting all the work they can at the same time. Looking at my list of all tasks I have been allocated around 150 tasks across my machines in the past 15 minutes. Doing a quick check looks like they are all downloaded without any ghosts being made in the process.

From a quick glance over the the above posts am I correct in assuming the situation can be summarized as follows: The number of ready to send has dropped by over 40,000. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

I have over 150 machines that have not got any tasks today and they are getting tasks from Einstein which has a resource of 0. Any idea why polling less than 303 seconds does not return the normal error about the request being too recent? |

They must have switched that off, perhaps temporally. I am not getting that from BETA either. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

Okay Thanks. One of my machines finally got a task. Too many machines with empty caches fighting at the same time. Guess I will just have to find some alcohol to get some patience, :^} |

Um.. How do you fit all 150 machines at home? Or did you hijack a corporate server farm? How do you finance the powerbill for those 150 machines? With a moderate assumption of 150W/machine would mean 22,5kW. At a 0,1€/kWh this would cost you 2,25€/hour -> 2,25€*24 = 54€/day -> 365* 54€/day = 19710€/year to run. With the power youre spending you could trade in your car for a new one every year. |

IIRC he owns a server farm. Which he runs projects on when he doesn't have it leased out. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

LOL Yes these are servers at my work that I can use when we are not doing their "real work". I use them in between test cycles. They are HP c7000 Blade Chassis mounted 4 to a rack and the company was actually experimenting with special cooling systems for the equipment racks that the company was going to sell. There are 3 160KW cooling systems in our lab. The cooling system alone could handle several large homes. The company has since abandoned the cooling project. |

LOL I'm working on a project that's tooling up to use carbon-dioxide mixed-phase cooling in its system (particle detectors, not CPUs) but I'd love to commercialise it for processor cooling. Probably too expensive for home computing (a hefty compressor is needed to liquify the CO2) but maybe for server farms? |
