I think we will run out of WUs soon. My estimate is at about 6AM 08/12/2005.

Anyone else feel like guessing?

I'll take 5:59:59 08/12/05 and earlier.

There's about 14 hrs left, so I'll go for 8-Dec-05 08:00

Right -- well I for one am certainly glad I've got other projects on my computers -- I've suspended SETI since Monday and am relying on Einstein and Climate to keep my CPU's busy. That works pretty well, since both those projects (with significantly lower workloads and a significantly smaller Seti Classic expatriate population surge, have historically run a LOT more reliably than SETI BOINC.

I think there is about 6 or 7 hours of new work units available.

So, my "running out of new units" guess is 01.15 am on December 8th, 2005.

NOTE:
I looked at the server status at 16.08 UTC and this showed there was 519,853 WUs ready to send. The server status now shows the queue of new units at 439,483. I reckon this means just over 80,000 were issued in the last 2.5 hours. However, I am allowing for a slow down in issuing new WUs, to give more time than 5 - 5.5 hours predicted by these figures. This means others can grab an earlier slot.

My SETI-BOINC cache is over 5 days :-)) slaps thighs with joy

Anyone think of how the "actual WU running out time" can be monitored and reported?

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

we could just look at a graph and get a good idea. not perfect though.

Yeh, seems to me people are harvesting wu's. I know I did.LOL
Got four day's work now. Thanks to the proxy.:-)

Yes, but at some time in the future (depending on your share settings and CPU power) your scheduler will enter EDF mode and crunch soley CPDN.

IMHO, if you want only a backup to Seti, then better choose projects with short WU's like LHC, Rosetta and Einstein.

Of course if you deliberately want to dedicate resource share to CPDN then that's a different matter.

I'll get some splitters up before the end of the day today. Tech news to come.

Bugger!!

There goes the chance my guess on "running out of WU" will be right ;-(( <giggle>

That'll be a shame, unless you have sorted the load problems on the upload/download servers.
Running out of WUs then slowly re starting the splitters would seem to be a good way to (a) clear the backlog, then (b) increase the work in progress slowly to find the max capacity of the servers.

I'll second that. Leave the splitters off 'till tomorrow.
Switch them on one by one as soon as kryten stops dropping connections.

This might be the fastest way to get us out of this mess.

Okay, my guess by now: not this year.
Good night.That is eastern of Greenwich.

This did happen to my on one of my machines, even though I was crunching seti, CPDN took over and would not crunch seti anymore. CPDN had a 17% priority level while seti had the rest of the cpu. I had to suspend cpdn to get seti to go, eventually had to remove CPDN all the way.

There is your problem to little share for CPDN and to big of a cache, I have 50% for CPDN and connect at 1 and have 6 (1 Slab and 5 Sulphur)CPDN running on two 840ees ht enabled......opps plus Seti, Rosetta, Einstein, Predictor, LHC...

This will not work on my machine.

I attached to Seti and Predictor. No Seti-Unit available for crunching, only one is downloading and downloading and downloading since yesterday. Predictor is run out of work on my machine but the boinc client requested no more work :-(

Work that is downloading is counted as "present" - has to be, it may show up at any moment. Suspend SETI and Predictor will download and run.

And some of the splitters are back on line.
