Network traffic has slumped again, and getting plenty of

Network traffic has slumped again, and getting plenty of

Finally got some work after all the "no jobs available messages"
Now getting
5/06/2009 13:54:28 SETI@home Scheduler request failed: Couldn't connect to server


EDIT- now getting work again & no Scheduler connection failure messages. Just checked the network taffic again. Downloads were still dead but inbound traffic had surged (hence the problems contacting the scheduler).
Outbound traffic has now picked up again, inbound reducing. Looks like things have settled down again.

It is very clear the last couple of weeks, when AP work becomes available, the bandwidth becomes almost maxed out. And when no more AP work left, it drops almost immediately.

The end effect is that the AP clients are getting starved. When the work are availabe, most of the time my crunchers can't even upload finished work, or didn't get through to ask for work. And when connection is restored, the AP WUs are gone.

Seems like there are too many "AP only" crunchers who are not accepting MBs? If the project thinks that we need to temporarily convert all clients to MB to clear the backlog, please tell us so.

I will agree with AP being an opt-in sort of deal, but after looking at one of the causes of all of my pending credits/tasks.. AP should not be allowed on hosts that have less than a 250 RAC. That requirement makes sure they're going to actually try to do some crunching. 90% of the wingmen I get have less than 5 tasks, are brand new rigs, or have RACs of less than 10..because of one/both of the previous two reasons.

Which will eliminate at least 1 of my rigs crunching AP permanently.

Now, if you want to tell me that someone needs to have returned at least 10 MB's or something, I don't have an issue with that. But there are plenty of people out there with rigs in the 100-200 rac that are MORE then capable of crunching AP.

Even with a 10 Multibeam limit there is going to be a problem with new people getting hit with APs for the first time. With the estimated time to completion inflated so badly at first the new cruncher takes one look at that and figures he will never be able to complete them so he just deletes BOINC and is never heard from again leaving whatever work was on their machine to time out.

It seems to me about the best way to handle this is to make Astropulse work strictly opt-in so that you actually have to come into the forums and find out what it is all about before you get any. This way, any of the set and forget crowd will be happily crunching away on MBs and wont even know what they are missing. Those that actually look at their results will eventually start to wonder why some of their wingmen are getting so much more credit and come into the forums to find out.

...there are plenty of people out there with rigs in the 100-200 rac that are MORE then capable of crunching AP.

And there are hosts out there with S@H RAC of 3 or less which are more than capable of crunching AP, low RAC may simply mean actively working for many projects. If such a host gets an AP WU it finishes within deadline, but will build LTD and not ask for work here for quite some time.

                                                                 Joe

Looks like there's been a few problems overnight- network traffic graphs look like a sawtooth.

Ok, Somebody left Ben's Kite up there. Uploads are either slow or stalled depending on traffic.

No problem yet on my side to upload and report task. But looking at number of AP on the field, it will soon be time to switch a few cruncers to MB

The upload issue just cleared itself here.

Trying to get some Cuda or anything.
Database says only 192 ready to send so someones going to be unlucky.lol
2 AP's there though.


EDIT: Panic over replica cought up there are 47k plus MB's

---

I have a three day cache currently, so I've stopped requesting work. I think the network is having a bit of a funny turn (looking at the cricket graph) at the moment, so I'll not add to it's woe's.

---

I ran my cache down so I could rebuild my machine in
a new case and clean out the dust bunnies.
I am trying to get some work.
I have about 1 day or so now need to cover the outage
then I will stop reqesting also.
