Is anyone getting any work? Or am I alone in this respect? As mentioned before- i'm getting work, but it's only on every 3rd to 10th request that i do get it. Grant Darwin NT |

Not getting too many here, especially AP v6 Open CL, Those are the main diet for the main cruncher and that cupboard has been bare since Thursday and only received 3 since Apr. 30. One of my other crunchers has managed to get 11 in the past 2 days and has 38 of them. I guess it's all in the timing of the request. |

In the last half hour my wish was finally granted. Got a nice load of CPU, GPU and AP! Now that AP splitters are running, maybe things will get back to normal. |

Network traffic went from 186Mb/s up to over 300Mb/s. Yeah, probably due to APs being split again, and sent out as soon as they hit the feeder..... Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

I've gotten 19 APs today with probably about 100 requests. Was able to fill up my 10-day cache. Then I was updating my spreadsheet and noticed that I got assigned my 2500th AP for r557 on this CPU. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |

I do not seem to be getting any work for one of my computers. Is BOINC able to detect and send work only to the fastest hosts if you have multiple hosts? No GPU work.

Hmm, there was a spike in downloads, then it dropped down consideraly. About the same time i got a whole bunch of donwloads that wouldn't. They've only just downloaded now. Grant Darwin NT |

Sorry guys. I'm getting all the WU's right now. 5/6/2013 9:00:12 AM SETI@home Scheduler request completed: got 79 new tasks That was one of my machines first request after getting "Not requesting tasks: project is not highest priority" all weekend and running down its queue. I have to saw BOINV 7 can really be pants about work fetch. Giving it didn't even check the 2nd project since the 30th of last month.

Good gravy, there's a lot of b*tching in here about not getting enough work. I don't pay close attention to what I have on hand, usually just checking once a day on weekdays. Occasionally, my i7 has a couple fewer in progress than the limit, but it has not come close to running out since the server move outage (if then). Actually, it has let itself run dry of Einstein for now. (Or is Einstein also having feed problems and I haven't noticed?) I forget, are the colo guys supposed to be loading splitter tapes (drives), or do the project guys still have to do that? If it's only the project guys, well, hey, it was the weekend. They only go in on their own time to fix major problems, and major problems are what the colo guys ARE there to take care of.

Good gravy, there's a lot of b*tching in here about not getting enough work. As far as most of us are guessing, and I don't think the actual process has been confirmed by Matt or Eric, the hard drives from Arecibo still go to the Seti lab. And the data is then transferred over the network link to the splitters at the colo. This we suspect is what causes the huge spikes in the upload link on the cricket graphs (the blue line, which is inbound to the servers). How much of this process is automated and how much requires manual intervention by the boyz in da lab is up to guesses. Perhaps Matt can clarify some day.

They only go in on their own time to fix major problems, and major problems are what the colo guys ARE there to take care of. As I recall from Matt's posts, the data from Arecibo is downloaded from the transfer drives at the lab, then sent to archive storage. As the supply of ready-to-split data files gets low, new data files are called up from storage, processed for RFI blanking, then transferred down the hill to the splitter storage portion of the JBOD (Or the RFI blanking may be done by a background server that was also moved to the CoLo). These transfers are done manually by Matt/Jeff/etc. Once the ready-to-split files are transferred to the JBOD, when the splitters get to a certain low point, more files are automatically mounted for splitting.

Blanked? Do you perhaps mean RFI? Anyway, this perhaps should be put up somewhere else here, but the four types of numbers the Seti@home client is supposed to catch may not necessarily be what may be in an alien signal. Therefore it is likely to go undetected. Regardless of a task being a shorty or not (carrying out the gaussian search in the second instance), the numbers returned for spike, pulse and possible triplet should be the same otherwise. Still, many people are convinced that narrowband signals do not consist of gaussians at all, whether or not they are computed by means of the spikes and pulses which may be present in a given task. In other words, there should exists an algorithm which filters out all the numbers which may be the result of natural causes in order to be able to catch the signal (or signal curve) which may be present in an extraterrestrial signal. However it may not be that interesting to process data sets which may be mostly empty when it comes to relevant contents. |

Okay, panickers, what say you now? MB ready to send is now upward of 245,000, still with only 6 splitters running. (FWIW, AP ready to send is about 2,000 with all its splitters running.) Can we still say the MB/PFB splitters can't keep up with demand? Or is something else going on that's been causing the ready number to be so low recently?

Okay, panickers, what say you now? Not convinced. They had real problems when (a) no AP was available, and (b) the MB work was mostly shorties. They are keeping up now with a better ratio of long/short MB tasks and the AP tasks. For example, I've received 364 tasks in the last 24 hours per BOINCTasks (staying at limits for the period). That number was ranging from 700 to 800 when we got almost all shorties, no AP, and the ready to send was depleted. Maybe there was a fix, but I'll wait and see.
