[...]
Rig in an Antec has only 150 Cuda to crunch and 1000 VLAR's.
With nearly 500 uploads looks like a 4 day cache is not enough,will have to increase it.The Boinc scheduler does not appear to work very well.
Only crunch Seti so it's not waiting for other projects.
Well of to work now.

Dave


If you use the ReScheduler BOINC can't do his job well.. ;-)

I wouldn't go too high with the WU cache.
Max. ~ 1.2 GB WUs on HDD, if higher BOINC go crazy and DL, DL and DL new WUs.
Overloaded/overworked BOINC and no longer useable.


[EDIT: BTW, I have on both machines 3 day WU cache.]

Same UL Problems here; hope I can get some of my ULs through, cause some WUs have a deadline in now 4,5 hours ...
Hope, their ISP can sort the problems out

Get em while you can...Mine is still doing the project backoff. Maybe I need a restart...

I'm out of WUs but Boinc isn't requesting new tasks, guess it's due to the project backoff :(

I've been getting hit with the same UL problem as everyone else all night long, I still have work as I have a 5 day cache(I've kept internet access for Boinc halted most of the time with an occasional test that says It's still fouled up somewhere), Hopefully though the problem will get fixed as soon as possible, Until then I wait. :D

I've just left mine alone. Every now and then some uploads or results squeak though.

Looks like I have a few days work as I am well over 1.2 GB of work. I average around 1.72GB lately and everything is fine other than not uploading....

So higher your WU cache is, so more work for boinc.exe (BOINC client). So less CPU WUs calculated because the client need much CPU time.

So smaller the WU cache, so higher the RAC.

Think about.. ;-)


My GPU cruncher (AMD 940 BE & 4x OCed GTX260-216).. boinc.exe need ~ 3 hours/day CPU time. So this is a 'normal' WU for ~ 120 Credits/day loss.

- ~ 120 RAC.

If I would increase my 3 day WU cache (~ 700 MB - 1.0 GB, depend of AR mix), the loss would increase.

And BOINC would be unuseable..


The GPU cruncher ~ 24 hours no contact to the SETI@home servers.
Hope the pipe is after the maintenance cleared for my ~ 600 results (if only 'normal' AR WUs) (one day WUs)..

We hope after the weekly (Tuesday) server maintenance the pipe is again well.

I guess you are also in the 'MET zone' ;-) , so after midnight or in the morning of Wednesday it should be again well.

True, but right now he gets back all the losses, while others run empty... ;)

I was going to add that + I get my new Power Supply today and add my 3rd Cuda card and only use 3 CPU's....

Hmm.. empty?
Like I said, I have a 3 day WU cache and still ~ 1 1/2 days WUs.
The machines don't idle..


hiamps, take care because of the WU cache.
Lot of people saw BOINC DLing, DLing and DLing WUs.. (crazy mode)
Don't go too high.

BOINC will not be longer useable, the only way would be to uninstall BOINC and delete the folder/s. Detach/attach not possible.


BTW. Still not possible to UL.
Also not possible during the weekly server maintenance. What normally it's.

I seem to recall Matt mentioning them having some issues with the server closet airconditioning, looks like it's finally come to a head.
Guess it makes a change from hardware problems & software bugs, and not much they can do about it.
