I think it's like Arkwright's Store - everything's in stock, but the service leaves something to be desired. ID: 1989128 ·  |

The machine I had that was completely dry now has 18 gpu tasks "in progress" :) Not going to last very long though. It is finding a few more tasks everytime it updates. Now if it would download enough tasks to keep mine busy.... :) -edit- OMG, I am up to 82 tasks in progress.... :) (on the machine that was dry). Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association).

The truth has a habit of stinging. :-)Chris, you demonstrate a degree of lack of understanding of the project situation and its finances in your last post, coupled with a high degree of negativity. ID: 1989136 · |

Hi Serius, Watch out!

1.2 million tasks ready to send, but "No tasks available". They can't all be for CPU or Linux can they......?? ID: 1989153 · |

3. Why is it necessary to keep 20 year old data current when nothing is done with it Because if something interesting is found, then the scientists will need to go back and look at all the observations from that part of the sky. It is also possible that some parts haven't been looked at all that often And 20 years in this business is not a long period of time. ID: 1989154 · |

1.2 million tasks ready to send, but "No tasks available". Unlikely The problem is how the distribution of the new work works. With a lot of hungry hosts asking for work at the same time the servers could only feed some at a time, then the others receive the No Task Available msg. That is normal when recovering from a big out(r)age. Expect to be fixed during the next hours.

They can't all be for CPU or Linux can they......??Tasks are just tasks - the same for everyone and everything. They only become CPU or GPU, Windows, Mac or Linux tasks when they become your tasks, and are marked for whatever you've got to run them. ID: 1989162 · |

I think I'm seeing a pattern. As the system comes back up after an outage, first if it is a db crash then we get some warnings and the status has weird numbers and empty slots as it works on rebuilding (I'm guessing). Then the system starts accepting our completed WUs and starts processing these and doing db purges as necessary. Resends go to the RTS. While the system is accepting WUs, it is also splitting files like crazy causing the RTS number to zoom up until we all go crazy wishing it would just give us some of the sweet sweet new WUs. I think it is now part of "normal" procedure for it to do this and not hand out WUs for a while. No need to panic. Then the floodgates open a little and first the slow machines get some WUs and then finally when all is good the faster machines start to get some WUs and seti life starts to get back to normal. We can all dream about a seti with more money and thus more people and better machines, but this is today's reality, that we have. Maybe there should be a separate thread about how if money wasn't a problem and I was in charge, how I would design seti. It is good to dream, and toss ideas around. I don't think ANY of us expect the seti team to work on things during holidays and weekends. They do because they want to or feel they have to, but I don't think that it has anything to do with us users. I'm betting they are grateful when the automatic notifications fail, but they get notice from those few people who have access to the bat signal. I don't think they would have handed the contact info to those that have it unless they wanted to be notified. Thanks again to seti people who gave up weekend time to fix this mess. ID: 1989168 · |

1.2 million tasks ready to send, but "No tasks available". . . Actually the OS has nothing to do with it, and the device rather little as well, that is not set until the host asks for work for a particular device. It is the type of job mainly such as Astropulse etc. Like when Arecibo VLAR tasks were flooding the RTS and were not being sent (at that time) to GPUs, causing a logjam because there were not enough CPU hosts/capacity to take them fast enough. Now we get those tasks on GPUs as well and that problem cleared. Stephen :) ID: 1989197 · |

. . Well the Blc22 tapes are nearly finished but there are 9 older tapes still stuck in the splitters that finished splitting days ago, and the same story with the Blc36 tapes, only a couple left to finish but there are 6 early ones from weeks ago still stuck there. Hopefully that will get sorted with the imminent maintenance outage. Then down to just the Blc34 tapes. Stephen ID: 1989339 · |

I'm guessing we will get new files tomorrow after the outage. The question is... will it still be the same day ?? ID: 1989340 · |

I'm guessing we will get new files tomorrow after the outage. The question is... will it still be the same day ?? . . That has been the pattern in recent times but I am wondering if the hanging tapes stuck in the splitters might affect the process ... . . I wish now that I had been keeping track of which tapes series for this date that we have completed to know if there are many more outstanding. I know we have done Blc22, Blc25, Blc31, Blc34, Blc36 and some in the Blc1x series before that. But I don't think we have seen Blc32, Blc33 or Blc35 yet ... Stephen ? ? ID: 1989347 · |

The 9 Blc22 tapes are still stuck. But the splitter load is starting to look a little lean. Stephen . . ID: 1989361 · |

Hopefully with a arm small queue it will allow the short data sets to be processed, that have been around for over a month it would be nice to see them be processed
