We've gone through 750K in 18hrs.

There's about 6-7hrs left with the splitters off.

I just got my 1st new unit. Looks like we've turned the corner. Though some folks have reported units with errors. My fingers are crossed.

Without love, breath is just a clock ... ticking.

Despite the Status page, the Network Graphs are showing a recent (and continuing) traffic cut-off.

The Status page also shows Upload/Download server (Kryten) as DISABLED at the moment - hopefully not for long.

The guys are obviously working hard.

It looks like 4 of the 5 splitters are back up for now. They haven't been up for that long, so they really haven't had a chance to keep up with the demand (see scarecrow's stats).

Hopefully we'll be able to get all aspects of the project back on track.

The graph is still dropping... even if all 5 splitters are working now. No tapes in the queue.

Yep, looks like we'll run dry for a while.

The validators have picked up some speed. though:



so there's hope for some improvement.

It may be that they are "throttlling" the creation of work due to disk space issues.

However, it also may be that we just pull the work faster than they can create it. Which, is not bad news for the moment. Good time to finish pulling the plug on Classic ... then introduce the new application to slow down the rate of work processing ... :)

As of 17 Dec 2005 12:30:08 UTC] Server status
Database/file status

So, you're just guessing that the next update will reflect a zero amount??

Then I guess 17 Dec 2005 13:20:08 UTC

We shut down SETI@home Classic yesterday. In reality, everything is still running - we just aren't sending out any new work, and changed the messages being issued to the old clients regarding the switch to BOINC. Luckily, as we flipped the switch all backend servers on BOINC were working perfectly.
Except that we are still in the middle of the master database merge. It's about 25% done at this point. Because of this merge we have about one million "deferred" workunits that can't be assimilated just yet (these don't show up on the "waiting for assimilation" queue). These are workunits that entered the queue during the first few days of the merge, but then we switched databases around (see below) so they are now requiring some database cleanup before assimilating.

We only have one terabyte of workunit storage, and these deferred workunits are taking up about 350GB. So with the continuing influx of new participants (and increasing demand for workunits) our workunit storage device almost filled up. Last time this happened we started sending out 0-length workunits to the clients, which caused a bit of an ugly but eventually harmless headache. We stopped the splitters for a while today so that the assimilators/deleters could catch up a bit and make some space for new work.

To clear up more space, we are moving the deferred workunits off to another device. This is happening at the rate we are splitting new work at this point, so we shouldn't fill up the workunit disks any time soon (we are at about 98% full now - and dropping).

so the splitters are offline for a bit.
