I realize that there is a creditnew effect working its way through RAC figures these days, but my rigs are off about 40% from where they were about six months ago. While I have reduced WU per gpu down to one on several cards/machines,(because of heat) I can't imagine that it would make that much difference. I've even upgraded two machines recently. All machines have been running fairly steady (when WU availability allows) for several months. I run a stable 266.58, a stable Lunatics x0.37, and a stable BOINC 6.12.33, 24/7 on all machines. I was having a lot of invalids and errors months ago with newer drivers. I since rolled back, and that seems to have calmed down. As I look at my results, they seem to be OK time wise. I'm just concerned that I don't get near the RAC that I used to with better hardware. What am I missing? Where can I look to find any bottlenecks? Thanks for any advice.

My computer with ID 5455034 shouldn’t be at Rank 21, as I have RAC 47,504.20 .
It should be at Rank 16.
I think something is going on with the database.

Hmm..............

Last contacted SETI on 10 Sep 2010 22:17:04 UTC.

I would perform a project reset. More important to get the machine back online with SETI since the completed work is probably lost anyway.

Be advised that you will probably lose the optimized apps installation also so be prepared to reinstall the optimized apps again.

This is what I would do but it's your machine...............

Hi Tim,

No, it's the same size as the normal client_state file. The other one there is client_state_old, but it is exactly that - 6 months old.

Looks like I'm gonna have to get a new machine id, and try to get some more work.

The machine hasn't changed, so I should be able to merge it with the old one, but I will lose about 800 tasks.

Damn! This was just starting to rip through a good few wu's too. Now it's sitting on 800 tasks it can't work on, and I can't seem to get any new ones either.

regards, Giz.

Hi all, one of my hosts seems to be getting a lot of errors in the last few hours since the servers came back online Host ID: 879910 I have another three WU's that are yet to report and I noticed the run time is identical when they exit at 01:51:44 I am running AK's optimised app and they are non Cuda WU's, anyone having similar problems?
One of them link below

EXIT STATUS -177 (0xffffffffffffff4f)

Oops

11/09/2010 03:23:07 SETI@home Temporarily failed upload of 02ap10ag.32558.13336.14.10.117_0_0: transient upload error
11/09/2010 03:23:07 SETI@home [error] Error reported by file upload server: Server is out of disk space

Getting this on all machines, and the cricket graphs are dying.

T.A.

Keeping NNT on on main machine. Letting my most urgent machine upload & possibly download first as it's likely to go dry first.

Remember all: a fresh attempt to get those _2+s priority by selecting all _0s + _1s + suspending them for a sec or 2 to kick into action the higher-quorums. Let's get that pending down.

that would involve w*rk on my part!!!

Sorry, says I dont have enough credits to write in the forum.

Does the IP address of your computer affect Boinc from connecting? I travel for work, so the ip address is never the same, and online it says my ip is the same as when I am at home, not the new one on the road. My laptop continually says Retrieving Current Status. My Server continually says Processing Suspended: User Active.

The website wont even update the computer info on any of my computers running Boinc.

Thanks for a reply (if you want to).

Welcome back, Mark!

I'm trying to get the full total from reading the thread. It's easier than figuring it out from the database since there's no way to separate these donations from others (Other than the $1000 donations). I think that it's $9000 including the donations of less than $1000. Can anyone check my math?

Where it ends up will set the amount of RAM that comes with it.

Thanks for all your donations!

Also, just for fun, I have a gtx470 running on a XP/32 AMD 2.61 GHz duo at 1089 Gflops but my gtx470 running on a W7/64 i7 930 2.8 GHz only gets 726 Gflops. WTF?

I am with you Todd, Pappa wake up.
I am the go to girl when it comes to Cash donation issues and pretty clueless about hardware needs. But I can tell you, that the wish list server is about $3,000 under the current donations.
I have secured a promise that pics are will be posted once the new hardware hits the Seti Lab. Maybe the folks will we kind enough to let us know, what else will be needed to totally make this a Seti Volunteer Cruncher/Server etc pp.
