Oh no Panic!!!!!! I am down to 9 hours more with task switching. What ever will I do???????? I guess I will just try to keep breathing. Other projects will take up the slack if they can't fix it in the next day or so. |

I can't believe it! I finally filled up. I am loaded with AP, MB, and CUDA wu's. It's been a long time since I had a full cache. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

I must be 1 of the lucky 1's as my 3 PC's have been able to top up at the right times so I don't have any complaints. :) Cheers. |

Mine have stayed pretty much filled for the past 2-3 weeks. I say pretty much because every now and then, one AP runs 50% longer for no apparent reason and throws the DCF waaaay out, and then BOINC thinks I have 12 days of cache when it is really only ~8. Takes about a dozen tasks to complete with a normal duration for the DCF estimates to come back down to a reasonable number..and then it happens again. So pretty much, every time my machine does actually ask for work, it usually gets a task or two. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |

Mine have stayed pretty much filled for the past 2-3 weeks. It has a reason. AP run times depends largely on blankings. One of your results are 93% blanked therefore it took 30000 seconds longer. Thats pretty normal. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

That used to be true (technically, still is, but usually less than 5,000 seconds). When the pre-blanked WUs started happening, the observed effect is completely random. I have a spreadsheet of every AP I've ever done while using the optimized apps, and there's no correlation between the tasks running significantly longer and any aspects about the WU itself (amount of blanking or number of pulses found). For example.. A while back, I had a task that had zero blanking, yet took 122,000 seconds. 14 WUs later, another zero blanked task took 88,000 seconds. Inversely, I have one that had 91.06% blanked and took 96,000, whereas that recent one has 92.72% and took 121,000. It's random. I've talked to Josef about it and there's a theory that it is one of the optimizations that started in r292 and can suffer tremendously from heavy L1/2 cache usage by other processes. Just a theory. The other theory is that it's probably a case of what has been known for a while about MB being on multiple cores and having bottleneck issues without some other kind of task running as well.

It seems the scheduler is disabled, and the cricket graph output has dropped. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

It seems the scheduler is disabled, and the cricket graph output has dropped. Nah. Time to relax, go have a beer (or your beverage of choice), and wait until morning in Berkeley. If they don't get it fixed by knock-off time on Friday, then you may want to be concerned. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Methinks probably a disk punted itself from an array and caused everything to lock up, and scheduler was remotely disabled. That's my guess. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |

Well I'll be ok for a while yet before I start panicking. ;) Cheers. |

It seems the only strange thing is that RAC is like a basketball. I can live with that, as long as the search for ET continues. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

The scheduling server is off-line... Perhaps it was the one mucking things up last night. Seems the cricket went flat at 00:00 UTC. Then around 12:00 UTC all the web stuff went wonky for a while.
