Another Thing - since 6 hours no AP download possible here. And there should be 750-900 Workunits
since 6 hours but - no Splitter running and no Tapes available. The Cricket Graph shows no Spike
over 60MBits/s last 14 hours what means no AP downloads.

There's been a few days almost without any AP tapes to split, meaning downloading have gone smoothly, now there's some tapes to split again and that means the bandwidth have been maxed for hours.

Not just AP - I got a big batch of shorties from the December '09 tapes, too. That always stresses the pipe to max.

There's been a few days almost without any AP tapes to split, meaning downloading have gone smoothly, now there's some tapes to split again and that means the bandwidth have been maxed for hours.

That's certainly part of it, apparently the AP "ready to send" hasn't reached its high water mark which would make ap_splitter processes stop producing for awhile. But I think there may also be a shorty storm (high proportion of MB tasks being VHAR) involved. Because those tasks take only about 1/3 the time of midrange or lower, a request for MB work gets three times as many.

Those who have recently assigned work might take a look at the estimated times to see if I'm right. I'm guessing based on the facts that "Results received in last hour" is high and tasks are being "Sent" about 3 hours and 15 minutes after they were created.

Edit: Ah, I see Richard has already noted one "tape" with many VHARs. One of the changes the project implemented to try to avoid shorty storms was to have splitters each working on different "tape" files when practical, but it seems that doesn't apply to splitters on lando (perhaps because lando has only 4 GB RAM?).

I got ~300 for CPU and GPU.

CPU ETA 45 mins instead of 120
GPU ETA 6 mins instead of 30.

So I just now had a work request to SETI to get work, I got some interesting messages:

1/14/2011 6:30:59 PM SETI@home Message from server: No work can be sent for the applications you have selected
1/14/2011 6:30:59 PM SETI@home Message from server: No work is available for SETI@home Enhanced
1/14/2011 6:30:59 PM SETI@home Message from server: No work is available for Astropulse v5
1/14/2011 6:30:59 PM SETI@home Message from server: Your preferences allow work from applications other than those selected
1/14/2011 6:30:59 PM SETI@home Message from server: Sending work from other applications


Here's the kicker, I have not changed any of my preferences:

Run only the selected applications SETI@home Enhanced: yes
Astropulse v5: yes
Astropulse v5.05: no
If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? yes

Funny enough, the server status shows plenty of MB work, but yet it assigned me an AP task. Just thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone else noticed this.

[edit]

The other thing is, the application that is supposed to use for running the AP task, is Astropulse_v505 5.05. So I don't know whats going on, but now I just got a MB task assigned too. LOL

Aargh...as soon as i have seen this Thread i have to check
the Server Status Page and the Cricket Graph. But what do i
see? Nothing. No Problems. :-)

Please do only post in this Thread in case of Emergency. :D

It's better for my Health. LOL

The only thing i dont like is i dont get enough astropulses for my GPU.
Even there are a lot ready to send.

A friend of mine got around 100 APs on a machine wich needs 90 hours a unit.
My GPU needs 2 hours each and i only get 50 in 2 days.

BTW crunched over 100 so far.

It seems workunits/results waiting for db purging is a little behind.
Never saw finnished astropulses that long in my task list.

Matt increased the setting to allow completed results to stay available for 24 hours. That may account for the increase in unpurged WUs.
