Also the Beta site is still down. On return home which was later than expected I was going to contact Jason to do some testing on GT240. Someone's bought Seti Beta back online in the last two hours or so. :) Claggy |

Jeff wrote this in the news section regarding work flow....... The idea behind the jobs per host limit (currently set at 20) is to allow every host that tries to connect to get some amount of work. This is at the cost of some of the hosts getting as much work as requested. This limit is necessary only when we are pegged at our outbound network limit (but if that limit were raised, we would surely hit some other in due course). This limit will be tuned. We've just started working with the three-day outage protocol (in the interest of doing science, ie, looking for ET). We're learning how to work with it. Adding to the newness of this way of running the servers, the fact that this is a holiday weekend, and a big chunk of our team (that being Matt and Eric) are away at this time, we have a situation that's hard to get just right. Please bear with us as we work through this. This plea goes out especially to the power crunchers, who together form the bulk of this project's computational backbone. Assuming no crisis, I plan to remove the jobs limit on Monday (a holiday) so that some (but not all, because we will be pegged), of the crunchers can fill their queues. My request is that the crunchers reduce their queue sizes so that more of you can at least partially fill your normal queues before the three-day outage. Thank you. ![]() ![]() |

No more GPUs in cache 03/07/2010 22:23:31 SETI@home Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Fine with some limit, but as someone said, it shouldn't be 20 per host but 5, for example, per CPU/GPU. |

No more GPUs in cache That would require more rewrite of the server code. Maybe it would be a good idea to first get the per app/resource changes in place and working before inserting new work limits codes. Refinements will come later. You can't get everything in at the same time without screwing things up even more. |

A question and change of subject (not a sanctioned diversion) ;-) I have just noticed the following on my account and wonder what the problem may be in downloading this element. Sat Jul 3 09:48:52 2010 SETI@home Backing off 3 hr 18 min 37 sec on download of astropulse_5.05_i686-apple-darwin My client has been trying to download this for some time, and I have not pursuing the issue due to the work limit issue that is preoccupying us. Any ideas? Kenn What is left unsaid is neither heard, nor heeded. Ce qui est laissé inexprimé ni n'est entendu, ni est observé. |

I'm getting limited to 20 WU still. I've had to resort to re-scheduling VHARs to my GPU to keep it busy - yeuch! HEHEHEHE I have the tool, it works on its own just like magic!!!! Sorry. Going over the top there a bit :) |

A question and change of subject (not a sanctioned diversion) ;-) Your account shows Anonymous platform. Are you using a third party application? If so, Boinc may be trying to replace a missing file that was supplied by someone other then Seti. You may need to reinstall the optimized third party apps. |

ya know, everybody has a certain amount of pride that might not let them admit when their wrong.. But you did jump on me and accuse me of something I didn't do.. Least you could say would be "Sorry" or even a simple "my mistake". It's not MY fault you can't grasp a simple thing like misinterpreting the meaning of something. Your wrong and wont admit it. I'm not amazed at all, I totally expected you to act like this based on your attacking me in the first place. I'll back off now before calling you a name like twit or arsehole... |

It's not MY fault you can't grasp a simple thing like misinterpreting the meaning of something. Hmmm. I just hope they can do it remotely because nobody will come in to work on the weekend. Especially a holiday weekend. No room for misinterpretationm there. You stated outright that nonone would come in on a weekend to sort things out, and then get upset when i take you to task for it.

I don't think this will help the GPU guys, but change your project preferences to only run Astropulse. |

Change the interval that your computer connects to the project to 10 days. Then change your cache to 10 days. You will then cache 20 days of work. |

Well it'll work on certain hosts, like my T8100 laptop, which only does Astropulse, but it won't be able to get 20 days worth of Wu's, 8 to 10 days maybe, too quick for the number of tasks allowed at the moment, Claggy |

Sooooooo, anyone notice the 200k MP workunits and 10K AP workunits sitting on the server! hummmm time to let the work flow. ![]() ![]() |
