And perhaps it would be nice now to keep this thread about server problems..........

I completely agree. At the time of writing this everything looks good on the server front

Except you'll have those relying on AP work complaining soon enough as they wait about a week for all those MB files to be finished being split. :-D

Cheers.

May be a problem- transitioners all show red & although the splitters show green, no work is being split. Ready-to-send buffer is slowly shrinking.

Yup validation seems dead right now. I have lots of WU's finished by both me and my wingman, not being validated. It started just before all transitioners went red.

This could solve the credit new dilemma.

Validation has slowed, but, at least for me, is continuing over the last hour or so.

Well that's different.
In the past there have been a few spikes in the result creation rate, but i've always considerd them either glitches or very short transients. But there are several spikes of 200+/s (a maximum of 416/s) showing on the graph, and the ready-to-send buffer shows a corresponding increase.

I dunno.....
Datasets keep getting added to the splitter queue and AP is being split.

But sooner or later things are gonna have to settle down to a LONG spell of MB only work, methinks. The splitter queue cannot continue to grow forever.

Which is just okee dokee for the kitties, they munch MB up just fine as well.

You know that, I know that, I'm sure the project knows that. I can't help thinking (hoping?) that they have some plan to advance that's not yet quite ready for prime time.

Which is just okee dokee for the kitties, they munch MB up just fine as well.

I'm desperately waiting for a (semi-)official Linux MB app -- I can and do compile my own, but not on all machines, and the need for an app_info.xml to use it rather complicates things. E.g. I've lost the system drive on my home XP workstation and while I try to recover the disk image I'm temporarily running Mint Linux off an 8 GB USB stick, with "stock" apps. It's crunching APs in 45 minutes on the GTX560 at an RAC rate approaching what it was getting with Windows MB units (21k/day), but when they aren't available the two-core Athlon64 CPU can only manage about 2k/day on CPU apps.

Definitely going slowly on my end at the moment due to:
-apparent hardware failure. my backup 480 doesn't seem to run anymore, not sure what's up with that, and X display chews up too much video mem on the backup 9600GSO *sigh* so back to the flaky 260 as soon as I can.
-Been running into strange issues with 32 bit builds, as no doubt Aaron did back with x41g, so only x64 was released at the time. Will need investigation.
- dislocating my shoulder 3 weeks ago hasn't helped either, along with a number of annoying real life things cropping up.

With a bit of luck should be back on track soon. I'm hopeful that once release form is brought up to scratch with a minimal dependency, fault tolerant, 32 bit build, then it's full steam ahead for some GK110 targeted optimisations and redesigns preparing for the next architecture. From there on, keeping cross-platform in lockstep is a major goal, to support more heterogeneous processing arrangements.

Definitely sympathise with all of those. I have a pressing need to replace my front door after a police "surprise" visit; I have a quote but I just can't find the spare time to ring the builder and organise an appointment to do it.

All in good time, I'm not particularly concerned about my RAC with all the kerfuffle with the V7 apps. Later this year I'll start on an efficiency drive.

Ha! Just like back in Melbourne :D

I have 5 entrees in "Error" that relate to work units in 2010. Any chance of a clean up in the near future ??

The data below is just a straight copy and paste effort...

There's a certain type of tasks that I haven't seen for a couple of days now. I refuse to whine and bitch though.

Are you sure?

Almost....:-)

LOL, Sten-Arne.

I have about 240 of your precious still working on my CPUs.

That's between 9 rigs.

They are coming along.....

Meow meow.

Well it can't be AP tasks he hasn't seen. Since 2 of his machines have been getting them everyday for the past week or so.
I think I may have to wait until I finish processing all 267 of the ones I have before I return any of them. :)

What kills me is what Boinc does with AP.

My daily driver has about 10 started. One of which has about 18 hours invested and 98% completed. And yet it goes off on a lark and starts another. Due 8/8.
I don't even want to look at my underachievers....LOL.

Mine were doing that, but I changed my queue vales back to how they were for BOINC 6. So I have Maintain 0 additional 10. With the task limits this is fine since some of my machines are to slow to get 100 task for a 10 day cache.
However they don't have the issue of thinking they will run into a deadline and start other tasks. As the queue "Maintain" value is still used in the BOINC client scheduler as it was when the value was labeled "connect every xx days".
