Its been disabled for a while. Have plenty of regular workunits to do, but of course am out of CUDA units and none are getting retrieved. With the algotithms for work the way they are, never seem to have enough CUDA to work on. The slightest blip, and my GPU is idle.

Modify work_fetch.cpp and recompile. Remove this line or set it to true:

if (p->too_many_uploading_results) return false;

My PC run out of work with CPU and GPU tasks simultaneously.
Never only GPU tasks.

You should use the current recommended BOINC V6.10.18 .

If you ran out of CUDA work, you can DL the ReScheduler on the opt. crew site. Which can rename the WU - CPU -> GPU, GPU -> CPU. Then you can split your DLed WU cache.
Somewhere in the forum. Not in the DL area.

The Berkeley crew is in vacation/holidays?

Sleeping I guess..

Then maybe someone of the cleaning crew of the campus came in the lab and on the server power switch?

Guess not as there are other processes on the same physical server that appear to be running.

It would be better if the Berkeley crew would announce this kind of activity..

Yes, for the few that go to the web-site, it would be nice

Use the Rescheduler to move stuff from CPU to GPU. I do... It's available on the Lunatics site; version 1.9 is an EXE file, and works on my XP and Vista systems with no problems. You can run it manually, or set it to run every N hours to rebalance.

I rarely get sent any GPU WUs, so I use the Rescheduler to rebalance my workload (which in my case is 40% CPU/60% GPU).

I'm guessing it to be an unplanned outage (perhaps a process crashed), which will be attended to when someone gets onsite this morning. Of course then we will have the standard post outage traffic jam as the backlog of uploads tries to come home.

Yea! The uploader is online.

Just my luck.

Actually it doesn't matter. Wingman is yet another of a long line of faulty CUDA rigs or abandoned systems so I'll have to get yet another wingman before I receive any credit.

Seems we got the good kick just before 11am (7pm here).
But not quite hard enough -- another good wallop is needed!!!
My 20 completed tasks were uploaded, but none have yet been reported.

Keith

(One more added - 21 to be reported now.
And I may just about keep going with 7 hours more to crunch in my cache!!!)

I can confirm this. I got my ~40 tasks to upload with no failures. Took a look at the Cricket graph and noticed a huge spike on the blue line, so I resumed network activity on my two hosts. All went through.

Still waiting for the client to report them and/or request more work, but it looks like the Scheduling server has been disabled now.

Yes.

I just had this welcome message:-

Mon 21 Dec 20:05:44 2009 SETI@home Reporting 22 completed tasks, not requesting new tasks


Keith

{But although I know these tasks were on work units with previously completed companion tasks, they have all gone to Pending Credits. So the hold up is not yet completely cleared.)

I also concur.

Yes, but even though the sah validators are apparently working. all those reported tasks (even knowing the work units were completed for two tasks) are all now sitting in Pending Credits

My RAC just went from 19,000 to 20,000 not to where it was but some are getting thru.

Hiamps

Sorry, but I have no reliance on RAC.
It's "formula" has been fiddled about so much that it is meaningless.
I rely on the kinks in my Total Credits line, taking care to avoid Pending Credits.
It is a little tedious, but does give reliable feedback.

The reason for my message is, without exception, my waiting tasks have gone to Pending Credits.
Although sah validators are all working, all work units are sitting there with 2 completed tasks in each!!!

Keith

(Working, that is, according to Server Status)

The only pendings I see on your 3 computers are on 2881519 which just has normal pendings. I guess the others you were talking about have been cleared out by now.

Hi Guys,

Starting having issues last night with Seti. 100% complete, not uploading to site.
Temp failed to upload, http error, upload back off

I now have 4 machines with multi WU's waiting to upload.

Anyone any ideas whats going on??

the upload server was turned off around noon S@H time and switch back on this morning. Right now there is a flood of everyone's machines trying to catch up.

Okay, they were there and have now cleared (and I agree there are now 3 which were there originally), but no credit has been added to my Total Credits.
I assume this is the delay that the backup server has (from which we get our data to view).
So it should catch up very soon, otherwise it may mean I have lost the best part of a days crunching with 22 results completed.

Keith

(YES. THAT WAS IT.
I DID A PROJECT UPDATE.
THE CREDIT HAS NOW BEEN ADDED, SO ALL IS UP TO DATE NOW.
AND THE STRAIGHT LINE ON MY TOTAL CREDIT IS RESTORED!!!)
