Poor VLARs sniff no one wants them (me included) - all lonely spinning around out there in the great void - at least they get to go to many places and see many things in their travels rofl :) Regards Zy 'S just not right, dissing them VLAR's...... If the app cannot handle it, fix the app. Cherry picking is not in good taste just to suit your end game. My rigs are all doing AP right now, but my preferences will take MB of any sort if the AP supply dwindles..... "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

Last modified: 21 Mar 2009, 18:31:09 UTC I'll take the VLARs. I'm not picky. See - there are still kind hearted souls in this world - there's still hope for the VLAR Liberation Front without extremist attacks on their CUDA brothers :) Regards Zy ID: 877959 ·

I'll do them when they come up on my CPU but my poor little 8500GT Cuda just isn't up to them. Right now, both my cores are busy with AP V5s. PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC ID: 877982 ·

I have some presently (after changing to an MB-only venue) and it looks like they should run pretty quickly. AP does pay more credits/second than MB, but MB typically grants credit faster. I'm not picky either. I would actually prefer a somewhat even mix of AP/MB like we used to get. Now it seems if you have ap_v5 selected..that's all you get.

Bernie almost as if they don't have a life outside of SETI. That's a bit harsh, and patronising isn't it. Anyway I can't get Boinc do download anything at the moment, I have a quad with GPU, I was unfortunate enough to pick up two AP's so that's it now my scheduler will play silly buggers until they are done. The question is; are these issues with scheduling ever going to be resolved? Please be VERY careful when you quote out of context!!!!! I didn't say that, your quoting a quote and making me look bad, if you don't know how to quote, please don't. Bernie Berni. There was little context to that particular post in isolation, I can quote see I have done it again. Perhaps it is you that should be more carful what you type! I don't want to get into a slanging match, so let's drop it! Anyway As I don't understand a word of the first sentence so OK I will drop it, but my name is BERNIE and I hate it when people cant be bothered to READ what is in front of them.

I wasn't expecting to get much work for at least 12 hours after things got rolling again. Looks like they left the line at a 90/10 ratio, so that during this 'storm', not 100% is going outbound. Usually anything above 85Mb/s means i can't get downloads to happen. Grant Darwin NT ID: 878217 ·

Checked cricket graphs and the "in" was at 700Kbit. Yes, below 1 megabit. when the database was down, we were still running about 3Mbit (which I'm guessing was almost completely the forum traffic since scheduler requests sent no replies). Seems fine now. We're maxed out at the bit ceiling again. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) ID: 878454 ·

It has already been proven that the scheduler can only assign what it has left from the last feeder query, so it appears I had pretty decent timing for the requests on all of them except that one.

During heavy network loads, your client reports a finished task to the server, and then the acknowledgment (ACK) from the server back to you doesn't make it through the network, because of the load, so your client tries to report it again.
