The post will get moved - at least, you stand a better chance - if the person who wants to initiate the split - Stephen in this case - goes back to the earliest of their own posts that they want moved to the new thread, and uses the red-x reporting feature to draw the attention of the moderators to what they want to happen, and why - explain clearly, please: some moderators are technically skilled, but others are more used to keeping the banter in the Cafe within limits.

The red-x procedure is how my Monitoring inconclusive GBT validations ... got populated yesterday, starting with a post I made here on Saturday morning. So it can and will be done, if you ask nicely and give a good reason.

Grant & all:

I just started a new thread:

Philosophy: To DeviceQueueOptimize or NOT (with a focus on: is it "micro managing"?)

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=80168

I welcome your reply and hope this time we can come to a conclusion on "micro managing", especially if I'm still not understanding your perspective well.

There won't be any conclusion because you don't consider what you are doing to be micro management, when it would qualify as a text book example.
Just because you automate something doesn't disqualify it from being micro management.


From the Wikipedia,
Micromanagement
In business management, micromanagement is a management style whereby a manager closely observes or controls the work of subordinates or employees.

BOINC allows you to set your desired levels of CPU usage, network activity, resource share etc & then it just gets on with the job.
You find it necessary to shuffle work around, on top of what you have already set the manager to do.
ie a manager (yourself) closely observes or controls the work of subordinates or employees (BOINC).
As I said, a text book example.

I am back for the Wow! event. Unfortunately, I have no budget for the electricity and new hardware (sigh). Zalster and Mr. Kevvy among others will pass me in a month or two.
I am going to try to find the SoG and privy apps (no luck so far...) and test them so I can maybe do next year's Wow! as well. Good luck all.

If everyone feels it would provide more clarity to the discussions, we're happy to help. Just red x the post and give a reason why and where you feel it should be moved. If there's quite a few, please give us extra time to sort through your requests and make the adjustments.

Shhhhhh, do I see some 2016 tapes from Arecibo, and a few APs that come with them :-)

Looks like the splitters are not keeping up with demand. Perilously low now .... only about 23K left when we usually sit at 500K tasks in the queue. Not sure what's up, there are tapes and channels loaded.

Is the Sever Status page up to date?
Current result creation rate 1.0268/s.
Certainly not enough to keep up with demand.


EDIT- 3 of the PFB splitters that i'm pretty sure are usually running, aren't, and one of the GBT splitters is down. However I would still expect a lot more work coming out the remaining splitters than the present 1/s.

SSP is up to date.

So, it is time to panic.
10+ hours before it's time for work again in Berkeley.

I would say yes .... there's only one AP channel to finish which provides tasks that take some time to finish compared to MB. Will have to work through existing cache of work until 8AM Berkeley time.

A few more hours until the tyre (tire) kicker in chief gets in to work and tickles the servers toes. Until then we will have to live on the few re-sends

They are not overflows, they are 100% blanked so there's no data to process. The Stderr output will tell you this if you look. ;-)

Cheers.
