Is there a problem with the validate servers? The last 2 work units that I have turned in have been waiting for at least an hour. The server stats page shows they are working. In the past 13,5 hours, I've gained a total of 1 credit. No, not credit for 1 wu, just 1 credit. So you are not the only one. :) Goodbye Seti Classic |

Oh well, it is what it is. I guess they will get it fixed some day :-) Avians and Myrmicats, the Octospiders, and the Humans all living in one huge cylinder in space called RAMA. |

Someone turned on uploads - got mine up so you can try now. :) Still no server status or validation. No GPU tasks for d/l, not sure of cpu tasks since blasted BOINC won't ask for them when I'm almost out). Probably not since cricket shows little d/l activity.

Okay, maybe it was just me - uploads were okay most of night here, then struggled for an hour or two, then went to nothing for another hour or so- when they started going up quickly, I thought it was a fix or something. ange. Sorry if I mislead anyone ( or jinxed it). . Another Fred Support SETI@home when you search the Web with GoodSearch or shop online with GoodShop. |

No uploads here since last night 3 AM 1 UTC. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Uploads were not working here either for a good while, but working now. Also just turned in a lot of work, but got Zero credit and no pending. |

I've noticed that my validated APs haven't been purged in.. almost a week for some. I believe this is part of that table issue with the database that Matt mentioned. They get validated, they just don't assimilate and then get purged. I believe until it moves to the purge stage, each one takes up 8mb on disk plus the returned results. Empty storage has to run out eventually. File deletion normally happens immediately after assimilation. Database entries are held for awhile to let users see what happened then purged. Those database entries are no larger for AP than MB and even though I have one still showing which validated 10 days ago, 10 days of AP records is still much less than 1 day of MB records. They did have 45,218 AP WUs waiting for assimilation last time server status updated, those do reflect extra 8 MiB files so about 380 GB of storage. Joe |

Empty storage has to run out eventually. Joe, why does that code keep the 8MB input file hanging around so long? Surely, there's no need for that file after validation and a canonical result choice? As I understand it, the only file which is required for assimilation is the much, much smaller output (result) file - and in theory, only one of the multiple copies of that. Is it simply that the file deleter daemon was written, simplistically, not to distingish input and output files - perhaps not anticipating such a wide disparity in sizes as we have with AP? |

Assimilation is a project function, so I think BOINC is just preserving all the data to give the project as much flexibility as possible. It might make sense for some kind of project to assimilate the WU rather than, or in addition to, the result. The S@H validators compare the signals between results, but do no checks whether those "signals" are possible, it's left to the assimilator code to do sanity checks. Here if those sanity checks failed the WU would be assumed to be garbage and discarded, but perhaps for some other project it would make sense to try the same work again, maybe with slightly adjusted processing. I agree that for this project it would make sense to delete WU files as soon as a canonical result is chosen, but that would require changes in BOINC rather than just project code. Joe |

Don't worry too much. I had one computer do exactly the same thing. It didn't show a connection for four days while four others did connect. There didn't seem to be anything I could do to force it to even check-in, much less up and download. That made me worry. It was still crunching work, so I walked away feeling defeated. For absolutely no reason that I know, the day after I decided I had done all I could do except "start over", it just connected on its own and has connected reliably since. It is almost as though Berkeley made it go sit in a corner, put it in a penalty box, gave it a time-out, ejected it for the remainder of the game, left its heart in San Francisco, detained it for later questioning... Starting over would have meant I lost a lot of work units, both completed and not yet crunched, so that would have been bad. Everything may not be fine at your end, but it might be. |

Hmmmmmm... No problems with comms here. Just checked 4 of my better rigs. Uploads and reporting working just fine. No work being issued, of course. And no validation of tasks going on right now, so everything is going into pending. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |
