And splitters are online again. Well, don't thank me, thank S@H staff :) Another thing is to get them, it's just a luck of draw, if Your hosts request of new tasks is right then where there is WU's ready to send... |

Once upon a time, ... There was this land of Databases. The Databases were mighty and hidden by the mist and the tales of mystery. In the land of Databases the Transactions were the most mysterious creatures of them all. The transactions needed to do their everyday tasks uninterrupetd - so nobody dared to disrupt their work. Not even the mightiest of them all: "The ones that could speak SQL - the secret query language". One day, an expert in the field decided that it was time to show that he had grown up so much, learned enough, knew it all, ... He had read from a secret manual that there were some powerful secret spells - so secret that hardly no-one knew: The "SQL Alter table commands!" At That Exact moment the land of Databases was deemed to the doom. When he murmured the words as he wrote them into to the central database command prompt and hit the enter key --- The database Stopped - curled down to a halt. The Transactions laughed ... "We did it!" - they yelled behind and underneath the hard drive arrays cooling fans and SCSI cache controllers. The end. a) This is a nightmare. Explain in a few sentences how You could end up in such a nightmare. b) Do the events like in this nightmare exist in real life? c) If yes, please explain how would the events change THE real-life.

Something Strange with the Validator. I decided to fire up Windows XP again and run off a few 30 minute AP tasks on my GTX750Ti. One of the tasks came back with a Very low 'Reward'. I investigated. Seems there is a 630 running off continuous 30/30s and somehow the Validator thinks that matches My 1/0; http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1962895849 This is Not very encouraging...if you know what I mean. |

Splitter output took a dive & hasn't fully recovered. For some reason there are now 5 splitters working on 1 file, the other 2 splitters on 2 other files. 4 on 1 & 3 on 3 had been working well, 5 on 1 & 2 on 2 may be extremely sub-optimal? Grant Darwin NT |

Also to note.. not that it really matters at all, but if you take a look at your application details page for any machine... the old, discontinued apps have been purged (APv505/6, MB6). David has now added a 'Show all versions' Button in the bottom left. Claggy |

Just for fun I attatched my Samsung S4 to SETI and I found that the faulty WU's has made their way to Android too. 01no11ac.12732.6374.6.12.115.vlar_1 After 4+ Hours of computing, I found that the progress was atuck at 0.6%. so I aborted the task. It works, but I do not expect the S4 to contribute much to my score. :) ChrisD |

you could try restarting Boinc or turning off and turning on your phone again and see whether it progresses normally, if not feel free to abort |

Just for fun I attatched my Samsung S4 to SETI and I found that the faulty WU's has made their way to Android too. I would actually abort VLARs on my S4. Is yours the quad 2.3GHz, 1.9GHz, or dual quad 1.6GHz/1.2GHz variant? Mine is the quad 1.9GHz variant & after a few VLARs finished I decided they took entirely to long running 4 at a time. I was using the "only when plugged in" setting & it probably spent ~16-18 hours a day running.

Have they changed the ready-to-send buffer setting again? Almost up to 700,000 now. Grant Darwin NT |

Have they changed the ready-to-send buffer setting again? Almost up to 700,000 now. Now pushing 800k. Wonder if they were limiting it by raw count, or perhaps by available disk space (preferred??) |

Have they changed the ready-to-send buffer setting again? Almost up to 700,000 now. Creeping up on 900k now. Either the limit got increased again... or the mechanism that tells the splitters to slow down isn't working. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |

It could possibly be too early to tell, but looking at the Haveland graphs, it seems 1M is probably the new high-water mark. I say that because the SSP right now shows 997k and the creation rate is in the low 10s instead of low 30s. There's nothing inherently wrong with having a 1M RTS buffer.. I know there's disk space for it, but the main concern is "as long as the DB can handle that extra load." Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |

Well we never know where the limit is until it is crossed. Would be nice to stress test the system by allowing 400 or more WUs per GPU cache. Grant Darwin NT |
