Looks like things are going to be erratic for a while- managed to download some work, but now downloads aren't happening, Scheduler requests time out & uploads aren't going through.

We're going down again shortly.

Well, you're right again ...

- Performance is not a simple linear function of the number of CPUs you throw at the problem. -

I built up a 5 or 6 day cache on Einstein, and set it to NNT. If Seti is functional when it depletes, I will load up with Seti work. I will keep evaluation what Seti is doing, although I am hoping that at some point the higher through put machines will be able to build a cache. I know this may take a couple of weeks or so, and I'm not concerned. The last couple of months has been a bit tough, but science still got done. ET may be in the data we crunched with flaky DCF's, or near empty machines.

Got some downloaded now cannot upload yet server status states that it is running or is this wrong again?

Cricket says we are down again. Hope it isn't for long. I have at least 2 days work on both my G4s and have set NNT, but I hear others are running on fumes, so......

My blushes Sten, surely there is a better venue for that ribawdwy!

Try this while you are waiting?

No Time To Lose

i'm running milkyway@home i have done all my Seti units.
and in the milkyway@home the NVIDIA is at the loosing site for best performance cards... ATI is the king ...
let's hope they will fix the problem soon

My Guf is Empty for 36 hours now..can I please get some work!!!!

See News

Just uploaded all wu. Just downloaded 50 wu.
All cuda fermis.

May be work coming. Little guy just got gpu work on 3 consecutive fetches, all mb, mix of long /short. No retries, cricket says I'm not the only one, but not maxed out yet.

Yep:

Claggy

Stupid machines, it had gone to split requests and asked for CPU tasks first. And Whoopie it got 40.
Next time it requested fot the GPU and lo and behold, reached a &TYR*UG%PI& limit.

I don't understand this one. I was well down on the test rig, but after a few fetches and failed fetches, I got up to the expected 450 (400 GPU and 50 CPU) limit without any problems from partial limits for one or other device on the way.

After a rocky recovery from the failed RAID, we seem to be running OK now (and with plenty of non-shorties in the mix, which should help a lot).

Well, not for me

pipes are running amazingly fast. It feels like something major got fixed.

Have you taken a look at the Cricket graph?

I think this is how it's supposed to be if the servers
aren't maxed out.

I got 30 units when the servers first came back up. Then there was the 2nd dip in the Cricket graphs, now I can't connect to upload or download more.

Going direct I get a "connect()failed" message
Through a proxy (tried 2 different ones) I get "http error"

If someone wants to start a fund raiser for a new router to cure the the "HE problem" I'll kick the can for $500 straight up

I want to know exactly what hardware SAH needs
the money for.

They have been asked this before and have been
silent on the issue. I want to know first before
I send in any money for it. Until then, nada.

From the "HE Connection Problems Thread"

Folks, the problem is KNOWN to be a flakey router (208.68.243.254) at the Hurricane Electric interconnect in Palo Alto, California. S@H staff is working with HE to get it either fixed or replaced, but until that happens, SOME folks' access to the S@H upload/download pipe will be blocked, and it may not always be the same ones.

It's actually more complicated than that. See this message.
From Vic's research, a replacement Router will cost around $30K - not cheap.

Let's let Eric & co. see what they can do, but if they ask for a fund drive, I'll be in.

Saw that. "Router" covers a lot of territory.
So who owns it? HE or SAH?

If they need a Data Blaster 9600 with Sapphire Knobs
and Dinochrome mud flaps let 'em say so. It's not like
I'm asking for the submission of a funding proposal.

I'd just like to know the name and model.
