Wow, Guess I will never get to see how far my machine can get, no work and it's Friday. Sucks.

And no good credit hound!

Not on your own Pete.
Just got to 43k and I had 7 day cache set after the long outage.
The Boinc schedular has only just started to ask for GPU tasks,now that the rig only has 200 to crunch.At about 20 GPU tasks an hour that about 10 hours work.
The rig does have about 1300 VLAR's to work on.
The Boinc schedular does not take into account of the mix of work in the cache, otherwise I would have 7 day cache worth of GPU tasks as well.
I am using the rescheduling tool so I know it's my own fault.
I have been sending VLAR's to be crunched on the CPU cores.
I thought that was better than just killing them.

Wha...........
I got 8 rigs wanking away at a fantastic rate.........

What's all the crying about?

Server traffic seems fine.....so SOMEBODY is getting work.
Quit yanking the chain.

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

Since coming back from my vacation, I've had a total of 3 MB and now working on 1 astropulse WU. Not sure how long it'll take, since its been such a long time since I've been allowed to crunch, it started off with 185 hours, its now down to 149hrs, with 1 hour and 40 minutes crunch time. I've got the lunatic apps reinstalled, so we'll see how my laptop does on this WU. It'll be nice to see.

Yes, but there's not much of it. Out bound is way down & in bound much higher than normal.
And the assimilator queue continues to grow.

Looks as if upload problems have started again. May clear itself but traffic appears to be droppping at present.

I have got upload and scheduler request problems again, someone is getting all the work or is there problems their end again?

Yes, had problems updating, starting about an hour-and-a-half ago, but it managed to get it through (eventually) by itself. The uploads started acting up, not long after, but also eventually got through. Now, I've got nothing moving, just like 'that weekend'. Time to press that "big red threatening button"?

---

Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive!

Two and a half hours now since the uploads started to fail.
No evidence of a problem on the server page though.

Ah, I see it's been noticed. Oh well, I'll leave BOINC doing what it does best and wait for the bods to get back in on Monday and untangle the wires.

Always the weekend that it breaks! Funny huh? ;)

Our machines working on weekends with the Berkeley servers down is becoming to be the norm at Seti.

Kind of sad really..................

Boinc....Boinc....Boinc....Boinc....

I ahve just had a few downloads of new files but i have a back logg of 19 tasks waiting to upload and run out of tasks on one machine!

Why sad? That's what BOINC was designed to do - carry the project through any downtime.

I'm sure if SETI had the money for new, beefier servers and diverse infrastructure then things would be different, but they don't so BOINC is the answer and does the job reasonably well.

Well managed to get around 300 Cuda units so at least it can work for a bit. No uploads but as long as we have work that is OK.

Problem is if you have more tasks to upload than you have CPU's then you don't get any downloads.
At the moment both my main crunchers are sitting on about 200 uploads and increasing.
Servers still look ok.

It's sad because apparently Boinc/Seti cannot function properly without constant onsite human intervention to keep it online.

Boinc....Boinc....Boinc....Boinc....

Back-up projects, peeps. (Happily crunching Einstein, atm.)

Haven't been able to upload the ones's I do have, tho. Oh well, someone will kick the servers Monday morning. 'Til then, we'll survive.

this is an excellent time to
do some spring cleaning in the
farm boxes....the last few days
i have been blowing out all the
cases...(hack cough sneeze wheeze)

then i'll collect up spare broken
parts i have thrown at the walls or
the floor. and boxes.
then i might have some airflow in the
dungeon again.

---

I never run out of work. I even still have a Seti and Seti Beta WU that are only partially done. Other the Seti, I have three projects currently not supplying work, plus three dead projects on my list. Boinc is working precisely as the developers intended.
