I am a little confused here. In the past when the tasks page for my computer was not indicating what I actually had for tasks, I thought the reason was that the replica database was “X” number of seconds behind the master data base and the information for the status page came from the replica. Now my computer’s task page seems current and the replica database on Carolyn appears to be down. Am I mistaken on the source of data for the status page or has there been a change of the source from Carolyn to Oscar?

They've probably re-jigged it that way as a temporary measure, because I read a suggestion that Carolyn had suffered a hardware failure and they may be giving themselves more time to ship in spare parts. The servers can work through a backlog by themselves overnight: I don't think they've learned how to fix their own hardware yet.

Edit - or maybe they had a spare in stock. Carolyn is back up and running, though the replica database is still offline.

LoL, has been hard to tell what isn't broken, with my ISP being really sketchy over the last week. Fingers crossed the fires at Berkeley are all out, before I get mine put out here...

Or maybe they took the replica and made it prime until Carolyn can be repaired?

They may have before they left for the day over there as I'm now getting updated task pages (that usually come off Carolyn), but that will usually over stress Oscar (though Oscar only running at about 200 queries/sec above normal ATM).

Cheers.

I wonder if:

centurion: Intel Server (2 x hexa-core 3.4GHz Xeon, 512 GB RAM)

might not be a replacement master database in the making to get NTPKR underway?

They previously indicated, in one of the youtube videos, that they are working on doing NTPKR via cloud computing using amazons services.

Replica DB is back on line, but 45+ hours behind the master at the moment.

Monthly update.

Feels like a quiet month. We saw 19 new tapes from 2015, and seemingly finished off the December shipment from Arecibo. But we knocked off 102 reprocessing tapes from 2010: here's the state of play.

Oh oh... Server status page doesn't look so well.
At least for me.

PS: Hmm... Okay, looks like it's better now.

Hello, from Albany, CA!...

No, it has not....
Stats dump log...
And Boincstats has been reporting my daily progress with no problems.
Must be the site you are looking at, not Seti's lack of doing the stats dump.

There are currently 7 channels in progress. Am I correct in saying that As of 9 Apr 2016, 1:00:05 UTC There are 4 splitters working on 28no10aa (9)?The reason why I come to this conclusion is because there is only 4 channels been split all together.

It's been that way, on and off, for several months now.
For some reason several splitters will end up on one channel instead of one splitter per channel.

...one group of splitters get lonely when working on their own, so they gather together on one tape for a bit of networking time ;-)

Thanks Grant for explaining. Looks like things are getting a bit better. I wonder if the tape actually get split quicker with 2 splitters on it

I like the way you think Rob :)

That does have some merit (even if in a joking manner). I suppose I should actually read the book for I, Robot one of these days.. but at least in the movie, there was that brief mention that there are ghosts in the coding, whereby if you leave a group of bots alone in isolation, you'll find that some of them will cluster together in a corner, rather than being uniformly-spaced apart.

So splitters getting lonely and deciding to work together one one tape instead of their own tape has at least some merit...

Only problems with that being
1 multiple spitters on the 1 tape tended to bring down the splitting rate. With the reduced load of v8, it's no longer an issue, but give it time with new classes of GPU on the way...
2 with several splitters on the one file, you tend to get more of the same type of work, ie shorties or VLARs. With 1 splitter to a file you tend to get less of one type of WU and a better spread of work so VLAR or shortie storms are much less likely. And when they do occur, not as severe.

Monday must be the new Tuesday.

Weekly Outage and Initial Catch Up
Every Monday morning (Pacific time) we begin a four hour data distribution outage for database and systems maintenance. The upload/download servers will be offline during this time. Afterwards you may experience connectivity issues for several more hours as the servers catch up with demand. 11 Apr 2016, 15:34:47 UTC
