Much better, SSP back and slowdown on tasks is gone. Wonder if it was just a traffic slam?

God Bless CreditNew:

9 Dec 2014, 5:06:05 UTC Completed and validated 5.34 1.05 490.39 AstroPulse v7 Anonymous platform (NVIDIA GPU)

Just to quote myself here....

I now have FIVE of these APs validated (out of 30 or so validated, the others of which gave roughly similar credit, but ran in the 500-1500 second area).

What's going on? Has CreditNew suddenly grown a conscience, and decided to surreptitiously pay back for all the under-paid credit since it was started?

Good on him, if so!

Well then, the crickets exploded into life and I've gotten two back-to-back work requests that gave me two APs each. And everything here on the website seems to respond a lot faster now.

I'm still guessing it was a DB query that was running in high-priority and slowing everything else down.

Actually, after checking the SSP again, and then pulling up the AP graphs, there was a sudden drop in both results and WUs "waiting for DB purge" at coincidentally the same time the cricket graph went vertical. That's what I'm thinking was happening. *nodnod*

Yes it was slow now it is not.

Hmm. Unintended consequences, I guess.

With reference to the "Need guidance" thread, with those 5 tasks suspended, now Boinc Manager won't ask for any more work. I kicked it to report some finished ones and there's a line that says "Not requesting tasks: some task is suspended via Manager".

I'm not sure what to do now. I don't know if it has enough to last until I have time to babysit it again. I'd rather not abort those APs until someone comes up with a different set of switches for me, though. I suppose I could just delete the switches and put back the blank text file.

Hi David,
That's the way BM works with suspended tasks, the trick is to resume all tasks, then punch update, when you get the server to send some tasks, suspend any you want again:-)

Works OK for me, enables the running of part completed WU before those that going take the wingman days/weeks to complete, so faster wingmen get faster completions..

Regards,

Something didn't restart correctly. I was on the site when they dropped it and brought it right back up. It wasn't down for more than a few seconds.

It's dead Jim, it's dead...

I see the upload server is still working, maybe there's still hope...

All has been going well here, but I see that we have 4 AP splitters working on a single file again, 07jn14ab.

Cheers.

Server down, is it?

Yep, Bruno...

Now what the heck is going on with my other cruncher? This is the one that runs only on its 630, no CPU work. It's suddenly showing 2 errors and an invalid. The invalid is an AP, but what numbers I can make out in its stderr look the same as what the other hosts got. The 2 errors are MBs and also have the same numbers in their stderrs, but they show ABORTED BY CLIENT or something like that.

I haven't made any changes to its settings.

...okay, this may be an issue with available hard drive space. I just freed some up, so we'll see if that takes care of it.

I have a task here that keeps on waiting to run, should I abort it? It's almost finished tho, 96%

Nope.

The deadline is still far off.
Boinc will go into panic mode before the deadline.

Hi Julie,
Any idea why its 'waiting'? Is it perhaps because BM has decided other WU need to be run 1st due to completion date?
If its not got long to run you 'could' override BM and simply suspend any/all other WU until it loads and runs, which should be immediately there is no other WU running, at which point you simply unsuspend all other WU and carry on as normal..

Regards,

Looks now like credit granted for GPU AP7s is dropping.

Earlier in the rampup, I was getting roughly 500 credits for almost all AP7 GPU, regardless of wall clock time over a wide range from even a few seconds to 2000 secs. on my GTX 780s. Now, some of the shorter ones are granting only 100-200 credits.

Why would that happen?

Your host hasn`t finnished its 11 vaidations with this app.
So thats quite normal.
OTOH if you`d abort it your wingman would have to wait longer.
