	Personally I think that they could drop 2 AP splitters and move them over to MB splitting which would help balance the production of the 2 a bit better. Good idea. ____________ Grant Darwin NT.

	This last outage of mine, partially caused by me draining my queues to update to .64, and which finished after we the well went dry, when I did get units I got CPU topped off first and then GPU several hours later. Usually it's the other way around but I believe I know why it was in this case. I believe this happeded because 1) some units can only be done on CPU since the GPU apps have problems; 2) GPU units are in a very high demand due to the current trend of everyone using GPUs to crunch and 3) the reserve of units are gone and 30/s doesn't cut it. This leads to a situation where there may be CPU only units available while GPU is always in extreme short supply. As it stands now, I need an GPU unit only every 40-50 minutes on average based on the mix of long and short units, I am usually capped off at my 100. However if your needs are considerably higher, as in a few minutes, your GPU is likely to run low/out while CPU can still be filled by CPU only units. ____________ "Life is just nature's way of keeping meat fresh." - The Doctor

	Well, this ain't looking good. No more tapes are being added, no AP's available for days now. In a few hours my main cruncher will be bone dry, if no more tapes are added, and if they don't put a turbo on the sluggish splitters.

	Network traffic went from 186Mb/s up to over 300Mb/s. Yeah, but so far it hasn't become any easier to get any new work, MB or AP. I'm afraid that with all the new super GPU's, we have reached the point where the demand is far far greater than what the project can ever supply. I fear that this is the new "normal". ____________ I'm only running one computer. Using 2 cores of an old Q8200 CPU for CPU tasks, and 2 cores feeding a single Mid-range GPU, ATI HD7870.

	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. ____________

There isn't any data for them to process, so they're not running. And why there isn't any data for them to process? ;-) The tapes don't have useful AP data in it since 3 days? Philip, for all the time that you have been here I thought that you would be able to read the Server Status page and there for understand the reason without having to ask. AP's are split off the same files that MB's are but the AP's are split off that much faster than the MB's are being that there are a lot less AP's coming from 1 file then there are MB's. If you had a look at the files to be split the last few days you would of noticed a lot of files there that had already finished splitting AP's but were still waiting to complete MB's splitting. Now that those files are almost finished now I expect that new files will start to be loaded again and AP's will be split very quickly again and will have to wait for the MB's to catch up again. Cheers. And, just for the record, those data files are shown on the right-hand side of the Server Status Page, and shows for each file whether it is being split for MB, AP, waiting, or Done. ____________ 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.

	I have almost filled my cache to the max (100) with APs now, for my Q8200/ ATI HD7870 machine. At the moment I have 73 APs onboard. 100 APs won't last long though, since the HD7870 is doing 2 AP's in around 1 hour, depending on % of blanking of course. The Q8200 CPU is doing BETA only, and on Beta there is no problems getting WUs. ____________ I'm only running one computer.
