The offices at Berkeley will be opening in about an hour or so so be patient..it will resolve itself. Methinks they shall be avoiding that pass.......... "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Have received a bunch of WU´s yet. Only the uploads are not working well. |

In case some people are not used to the Cricket Graph, here is a summary of what is happening You will notice that the current recovery has been flat out for several hours , compared with a normal outage where the traffic drops off fairly quickly. Hope this helps. :-) Bernie |

I signed on the week before Christmas and decided to participate. I have had nothing but problems with the CUDA app and with geeting work from the server and connecting to it to tansmit results. The pity is that scientific types and techie types who want to help are begining to walk way from participating. Gentlemen, Ladies, there are two many bugs and aberations to warrant our investment in time and utilities. |

@ Sulcus SETI@home preferences/ Use Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) if available YES/NO So you can choose if CPU or GPU.. The CPU-application is bug-free. Don't forget to install an optimized application! :-) |

When I heard the fan kick up just a minute ago, I knew what that meant: got plenty of new WUs! [Downloading a bunch as I write...] QS |

The offices at Berkeley will be opening in about an hour or so so be patient..it will resolve itself. Yes, that might be said of any issue and would be equally pompous and nonsensical. A better reply would be to encourage the competent people who do decide what to work on to prioritize improvements to the network use, at least by seeking better software solutions. I, and most users I suspect, are not competent for that task, but we all suffer if the system could be improved but isn't. |

I signed on the week before Christmas and decided to participate. Hmmm - the scientific types and techies associated with SETI haven't posted their walking papers on THIS forum to my knowledge. I'm neither a scientist nor a Techie BUT I do know that advances in science and technology don't always go smoothly - and THAT is the adventure of both disciplines. I also know that advances in BOTH disciplines are generated by those providing solutions as well as persistance in overcoming aberrations such as you object to. I've been with SETI since 2003 - and if you think the current problems are bad - you haven't been through some of the black weeks we had with SETI Classic |

The offices at Berkeley will be opening in about an hour or so so be patient..it will resolve itself. I really appreciate the Ad Hominem attack. You don't like what I have to say, so therefore I'm being "pompous and nonsensical." I'm a realist. I know that I could sit out here in the grandstands, and like you, take pot-shots at the developers. I know that I can wave my hands, decry the end of the SETI-universe, and offer sage advice based on my 39 years of programming, and nearly two decades of networking. Realistically, I'm just another cruncher. I've have pushed gently for what I think should be a change to how BOINC schedules connections to all servers (it isn't work fetch as much as the the sheer number of connections, IMO), and since I think it'd be useful, I'm looking at what it would take to write the code myself. ... but I won't criticize the developers for not adopting my agenda, and I won't roast them for "failing" because frankly, everything works pretty well most of the time, and we haven't had a truly painful outage in a long time. Either way, that's how it works on open source projects and most organizations where the work is done by volunteers. Since we're talking about "bad science" alot lately, let me also point out that everyone complaining (directly) about CUDA is self-selected. Matt says that 3% of the results are coming from CUDA, but we don't know what percentage of those are validating -- all we see in the forums are the problems. So, while the complaints are an indicator that there is a problem, and problems should (in general) be fixed, we have no idea of the size of the problem, just that 97% of the results are not coming from CUDA, and the only real "danger" is if two "broken" CUDA results validate -- and are wrong. That seems unlikely (less that 0.1% of the time, maybe a lot less). |

Took a bit longer than i thought, but the last of my uploads has finally gone through & now the downloads are starting to occur in dribs & drabs. Grant Darwin NT |

Same here. Most uploads have been taken care of and a few machines now are getting new work units. Hope you all had a Happy New Year. http://boinc.mundayweb.com/teamStats.php?userID=14824 |

Looks like the storm has passed, although it won't be long before we get the usual 00:00hr Berkeley time surge in traffic. Grant Darwin NT |

Good news at last! The BOINC download server has gone AWOL - no more crappy v6.4.5 or v6.5.0 installations for a while. |
