My 2nd rig is now totally back to doing SETI while my main rig still has a few hours of backup GPU work to do, but it's just doing all SETI ATM as well.

Cheers.

Hi Wiggo,

What now concerns me, is that with all these fast running WU, many running under 7 mins, how long will the tasks keep on flowing before we run out again.
[edit]

And for every WU completed I'm getting 2 or more sent out..

Regards,

Cliff,
Been there, Done that, Still no damm T shirt!

At first the (BRP5-cuda) runtime decreased from 1h20min to 1h12min. After that I can not say since I have run 4 or 5 at a time and done BRP4G too.

Can't directly compare with my hardware as I'm running that card on Windows with only 2 tasks at a time, but that sounds pretty good.

I had a full quota of MB's (both CPU & GPU) yesterday Cliff before I even started running out of backup projects' work and so far today I'm easily keeping up (once the AP's finally come back online then things will go much easier, if things go well that is). ;-)

Cheers.

All three of my rigs have 200 work units each. No problems here.

A ten day cache setting and I've got this:

07/12/2014 05:27:43 | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To report completed tasks.
07/12/2014 05:27:43 | SETI@home | Reporting 1 completed tasks
07/12/2014 05:27:43 | SETI@home | Not requesting tasks: don't need

A full cache? How did that happen? *hits panic button* :)

If you set your cache larger than the manager thinks you are able to process, you won't request new work.
The fact that you have 5 active projects & signed up for over 20 will also limit the amount of work you can get; the smaller the resource share you give Seti, then the more likely you are to run in to deadline issues with a larger cache setting.
Try setting a more reasonable cache (say 5 days) & see what happens.

Not that we can see your PC/s Zapped, but later versions of BOINC have some weird and wonderful useless effects associated with them (sorry developers, but that's the plain truth IMHO).

Seti main at 100, 5 backup projects at 0 and the rest are currently NNT/suspended. BoincLogX saying 209 hours of work to crunch, and the estimates are close enough to boincs to say I'm sorted for a while :)

Currently I'm on 7.2.33, I could write a list of the things wrong with it and post here and/or on the boinc boards but considering the nature of how they're dealt with will never bother.

But also remember that Eric said that the process was also slowing down so it could be longer and then there'd be the test to make sure that it works as it should before unleashing it. It'll happen when it happens and no sooner so just be patient. ;-)

That maybe because of the load on the main databases Julie (well that excuse suits me anyway), as there is a very long list of files now to be completed on them now. ;-)

P.S. I'm now finding the forums to be slow in loading now.

Cheers.

Fun to be getting work again, but it also means bye bye RAC.

Fora seem to be loading OK now.

I note a small up-tick at the edge of each graph.

Our RACs will recover, they always have......

Remember, here at S@H, patience is not just a Virtue, it is a Requirement.....

Hey, I can play this game about RAC falling to the floor:


Nice vertical cliff, eh? There is no slight uptick on mine though. Not until AP comes back.. and then it'll be a nearly-vertical cliff going far in the other direction once everything gets validated.

In a graph with a 7 year time axis, any uptick over a three day increment would be invisible.................as it is..........:0

True, but there still isn't one. Well.. maybe a slight one. My Sempron machine crunches MB and AP (mostly MB) and has had a steady diet of _2-4 tasks in the past two weeks, but currently, its RAC is about half of what it was a month ago, so.. with new work being available, technically, there should be a slight up-tick, but that machine's all-time high RAC is something like 410, so.. essentially negligible in the grand scheme of things.

The massive up-swing way back in 2008 was when I switched to optimized apps and had four machines (two at work, two here at home), and then the down-swing in 2009 is because.. well, I was down-sized/made redundant at work, so I aborted everything in the caches and detached those two machines.

*sigh* I miss the days of APs giving 1294.84 no matter what.

You people are Rookies. Now This is a RAC drop;
