Are we having server problems again? Unable to upload completed work units.

Just asking!

Network congestion and high CPU load on the scheduler... it's double trouble. But when the load goes down, things should be OK.

What if Fiction was Fact and Fact was Fiction and vice versa?

Are we having server problems again? Unable to upload completed work units.

Just asking!

Well, interesting. I recently was able to upload 10 of 11 work units. The last is being very recalcitrant. It says it gets to 100% but doesn't complete the upload. As the deadline is a week out yet, I've got no worry. However I do wonder if something server side is going on. Perhaps the W/U is on a drive that has failed and is being re-synced? Could explain some randomness.

my upload took a little longer than usual I expect it was due to traffic so not worried

I guess the servers couldnt make up their minds this morning ...

You reached your daily quota, so it won't send you any more tasks until after midnight PDT (utc-7).

Would probably make more sense if the messages came in this order.

Getting no new work messages even though server status states that it has even though this message was about a quarter of an hour old when read. I have a few so not worried.

hmm, Last night XP went fubar on main cruncher (too much bad shutdowns maybe) Just spent the night fighting with windows 7, only to find out from Nvidia; no worky with my vid card yet for cuda. Anyway, Got XP back cruching but now having trouble keeping it in work...
Anyone else seeing this?
Probably Mysql issues re: Matt's post?

I haven't gotten any work since early this morning CST

Classic WU= 7,237 Classic Hours= 42,079

Status 4 mins old, 116,377 MBs ready to send, still getting no jobs available. This happens often for quite some time, I think there's something wrong. At least it's unnecessary extra work for the servers, and the message is wrong since there's plenty of jobs ready.

"Ready" and "available" are two different things in the BOINC world. "Ready" means the Transitioner has set up the database for the tasks, and they haven't been assigned to a host yet. The number in "ready" state can be any amount, but the project limits new work creation to keep the storage requirement reasonable.

"Available" means the Feeder has told the Scheduler about some tasks which haven't yet been sent, there are never more than 100 of those. When the servers are busy, sometimes the Feeder can't refill that list as often as needed to satisfy demand...

My problem is not running out of work, yet, but inability to upload.
Losing credit isn't that important.
But missing the deadline because the servers can't cope means they'll go out for re-calculation again ?
That's just more bandwidth, and more crunching, that could be employed usefully.

I have only two CPU workunits left, then it's CUDA only for a couple of dya, then I'm out.
Just sitting with HTTP or Connect() errors waiting to upload.

Hmmmmmmm....
I just checked all 8 rigs, and I have no hanging uploads.....
Bandwidth seems to have subsided...
Have you hit the 'retry' button on the uploads you have in the transfers tab?

Sometimes a flushdns is better, or even a reboot.

A reboot always beats a flush or a full house........LOL.

This task as well as others I've completed, don't seem to be validating ATM either, even though they've been completed by myself and my wingman.

Well, hang in there......

There's only about 147,000 of them left waiting to be processed......

The kitties are turning their last ones......got a day to go on one cruncher, a few days last on some others......

The kitties are not happy.

As to the state of the validators and other related problems.......

They seem to have sufficient HP, but hey are a bit blind.....

Kittie outta control...... LOL...

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

latest info 144,000+ waiting to be sent at 10:50 UTC however the time was done 35 minutes before that so it looks like the status page is wrong as well. Getting no downloads since around 8:00 UTC have a few lines of no new work luckily I have got about a days work still to do.

Two bits: this morning, as is frequently the case, my work gets uploaded to the servers but the 'reporting' step is failing and has been for several hours. I don't understand/remember what the difference in the two steps is, except that the number ready to report on my client is increasing and I'm not getting new work. I only hook up for a few hours each day, so soon all this work will probably roll over until tomorroow. Not worried, just fueling the discussion.
